  1. It will be interesting to see what the market rate for a goaltender is - if it turns out that Lehner is out for an extended period of time. It looks like there are several teams with NHL caliber goalie assets in their organizations.

  2. That avatar.......... 

     

    You're welcome!  :flirt:

     

    I've said it before. The only way he's coming out of that booth is in a body bag.

     

    At this point if RJ and his lovely wife are healthy, and the Sabres are competitive, I think this is the case.  RJ seems like he truly enjoys the game, and he has a great seat to one of the best sports in the world for a team he loves.  When they aren't a good team, he says it.  When they are a good team, the man gets excited. 

  3. Whoa.  How you been, man?

     

    I've been great, but the Sabre's haven't  :flirt:  There isn't much to talk about during rebuilding years besides draft picks and who you hope they don't trade when the team's good again; so instead I've just been laying low.   

     

    But now I'm definitely excited about watching the Sabs score some goals this season.  Sabre's have 4 solid top six forwards (Kane, Moulson, Ennis, O'Reilly), 3 elite prospects that could produce (Girgs, Reinhart, Eichel), and some great role players in Foligno, Gionta, Deslauriers, and Legwand that will give you a consistent effort every night.  I'm hoping Gorges is 100% healthy on the blue line, and they make one more move to get a #3-4 defensemen.  

  4. He is a exceptional playmaker and does a great job of moving the puck up and around the ice to get his team into scoring position. For me, that is where most of his potential lies.

     

    Hopefully he gets to play with on a line with a sniper or two so he can showcase his game and we can get a good read on his improvement (against NHL'rs) from last year.

  5. He is not the goalie that most people thought/think/will think. My point, which I note was not directed towards you, is that many would be irritated that Biron let in 4, but if Miller lets in the same 4, there's no problem.

    If Biron is such a great goalie then why isn't Darcy's phone ringing off the hook? Miller is obviously the #1 guy all the way and Mika should be #2 instead of sitting idle. Biron would be long gone if teams thought he could be a top 10 goalie.
