I'm dont hate Kaleta as a player like most do here but u all have to admit one thing. The guy really does work his @ss off on the ice if he's not taking silly penalties. I find it amusing that people say this player or that player sucks but in all honesty I don't see your @ss skating with the big boys.

Anyone go to the scrimmage? Sounds like Katela had a good game. I know that's gonna piss some people off. Cal O'Reilly from what Andrew Peters said was good as well. Should be interesting to see what comes out of camp.

Been to Los Angeles and Anaheim a couple of times. Staples Center in Los Angeles is a great arena. I like the Honda Center as well but LA takes the cake. Kinda wondering about Reinhart as well. To me these are games that he needs to be making a mark especially against other teams prospects. Next level will be much more competitive for him to stand out. I just don't know if he wins a spot out in training camp or he starts with the Americans.

Your telling me. The last two years were brutal to watch. I'm already planning on seeing Buffalo in Arizona, Los Angeles and in Anaheim.

I can see why people like Chapman because he plays hard like Kaleta but lets get one thing straight. Kaleta can play at the NHL level and Chapman will be lucky if he see's the ice full time at the AHL Level. If you watch Chapman close in that game against the Devils. He rushes his passes, had a ton of giveaways. The only thing I can say good about the guy is he really plays defense hard and will take the body every chance he gets. Problem is the new NHL defenseman have to get up in the play, get back quick enough and make accurate passes out of the zone in which I didn't see any of that. Guele to me looks like a future nhl defenseman. Very smooth skater, can jump into the play.

I'm a big Reinhart fan as he was the guy I wanted last year. But I do have concerns moving forward with these scouts. Hurley and some of the other second rounders don't look so hot. This team has/had nothing but time on their hands the last two years and can't afford to miss on picks moving forward. I know Murray moved a lot of young prospects but to me it's sort of a concern. I know all players picked aren't gonna make it but that's why you have such a big scouting and video department to find these players.

That's people that don't know the game. His hit was a penalty that should have been called. He won't be getting signed by us. The Sabres need to focus on picking up some defenseman in next years draft. I'm kinda wondering if they are looking at trades to acquire a defenseman what young prospect is Murray gonna move.

So was Dan Byslma right that Jack needs work away from the puck? Not bashing him as I'm a big fan just want to know if it's true.

Sam is more Toews player than people saying Eichel is. Reinhart is a solid two way player who can be put in all situations just like he was used for team Canada. It's a meaningless scrimmage game where most players won't make it to the next level. From what little I seen I like Baileys size as well as that whole Reinhart line.

So who else look good? Gold looked overmatched in this game from what little I seen.

Yeah tell me about it. I don't want to hear about Gretzky, Potvin or anyone not in the league anymore.

The craziest thing about people talking about how much Buffalo should be improved all forget to mention Sam Reinhart.

To me Hodgson has some offensive skill but its becoming more of a speed game and let's face it Cody skating is mediocre and his defensive mind is non-existent. He might fit in Nashville because they have solid defense.

I don't think Zadorov is going to be that dominant defenseman.

Murray knows he needs a defenseman or two but I'm guessing he looking at 1-2 guys that are younger so they can grow with the team. My opinion is he is gonna move a player, prospect or pick for what he wants. I'm not to crazy about moving anymore of our prospects like Bailey, Bapiste or Fasching.

I wouldn't put Girgensons in any deal for Shattenkirk. Larsson, Foligno and future picks could be used for another D-man. It doesn't have to be Shattenkirk.

I like Fasching he was the key piece to the LA Deal why would they move him. Larsson and a 2nd. No but a Big No for Bapiste, Bailey or Fasching getting moved.

Is David Poille ever gonna figure it out. All his teams have had plenty of great defense but hardly any offense. Until he moves one of those defenseman for a proven offensive player they will continue to be knocked out of the playoffs without ever getting to the cup.

I'm not worried about Murray not signing any of these free agents. Most of these free agents are grossly overpaid and aren't worth it long term. I just don't want Murray trading any more of our key assests for a defenseman. Bailey, Bapiste, Fasching are key components going forward.

I like Larsson. He's always moving and he's hard to play against. He's a very good bottom 6 guy. I don't think he should be moved yet.

Patience my friends Murray knows he needs help on the backend and besides Oduya who is up their in age. I would much rather him trade for a younger defenseman.

Who Cares if Hodgson signs with the leafs. Murray is building a team that's going to be tough to play against. O'Reilly and Zemgus are hard players to play against. Now you throw in some skill guys like Kane, Eichel and Reinhart and Wow what a difference a year makes. We know he's gonna make a move for a defenseman but patience is needed. He can wait until teams that are cash strapped like the Islanders did last year.

I think Murray makes a trade for a defenseman if he can't get any of his free agent targets for a decent amount of money. I don't see much Murray could want with what's left with the defenseman out on the free agent market. He's building a tough team to play against and most free agents left don't fit that bill.

He should stay with the Ducks. Not interested him at all.
