Two or less

Yeah, the trip is right around the corner!

I still think they need to add to the forwards if they want to really sustain this run and avoid a repeat of last season. I don't think Scandella would get you much anything beside a pick, but you might need to do that deal to facilitate another move that brings a scoring forward to Buffalo.

If the Sabres are doing really well then it won't really matter, but trading Scandella if we're trying to join the playoff race is underwhelming. He won't fetch much more then a 3rd round draft pick.

Nice seats, broken ankles!

Should be noted, that a sellout for the Jets is considered a poor night for most of the teams, such as Buffalo. 15,276.

I don't think that's it.

what player?

I think he'll be waiting until roster spots open up, and more then just one. Unfortunately, guy has to wait til someone gets hurt.

This draft is loaded. I only skimmed this thread, so it couldv'e been already posted, but no knock on Holtz or Byfield, but i wouldn't be surprised if Lukas Raymond jumps up to 2nd by June. Another interesting player who might go in the top-12 is Kaiden Guhle, Brendon's brother. Has 8 points (2+6) in 9 games so far this season for Prince Albert.

Olofsson was a guest on NHL Tonight this evening too.

It will be very interesting to see who Krueger sits when Montour is back, but i really don't think Scandella will be the one sitting. Not only has he played good but Krueger sees him like a leader. And his pairing with Jokiharju has been very strong. I don't think they will want to split those two up.

The WGR site has a on-demand page where every show and interview is stored. So, if you miss a interview like Krueger or Friedman, it'll be on-demand. Which game? Let us know if you need any suggestions or tips on Buffalo.

Same, i use NHL.tv on a smart tv (not apple) and havnt had any issues at all.

I think this show is real entertaining. Peters and Rivet have great chemistry. I listen pretty much every day at work. They have three regular guests- Wed- Jeremy Roenick Thur- Elliott Friedman Fri- Darren Dreger Enjoy, Miles!

Schopp and the Bulldog broadcast live from 716 each home gameday and have Rob Ray as a guest at 4pm on those broadcasts. They also get Jason Botterill on once a month during the season to talk all things Sabres.

Unless something drastic happens, i think Seattle would be nuts not pick off a dmen from us. On offense, we can protect 7- Eichel, Reinhart, Skinner, Mittelstadt, Olofsson, then it becomes a bit of a wildcard after that but i'd guess Asplund and Thompson are the next two. On defense we can only protect 3 from a list of - Dahlin, Jokiharju, Miller, Montour, Borgen, Risto, Pilut, McCabe. Goalie you can protect one and since UPL is not eligible for this draft it's a easy decision to protect Ullmark.

I know it's cliche, but after last nights poor performance, a big time game tomorrow night would go a long way for me. It'll be nice to see how they play after a loss. Not saying they need to win 7-2 but a good 60 minute effort and win would really satisfy me for a while in believing that this team is different then the ones in the past several seasons.

I fail to see how you came to this conclusion so quickly? Pilut was pretty much a point a game player in the AHL and was a +22 in his first season in North America, which some players it takes some adjustment. He was okay with Buffalo considering he made his NHL debut on one of the worst teams in the league and a team that was a dumpster fire for much of the second part of last season. I don't think anyone has a good handle on how good he could still be but i think it's way too early to count him out. I would rather have him over Scandella right now though. As for the Skinner line, so much talk is about moving Sobotka away from that line and i completely agree with that, but they may need to look for a new center for that line too. Johansson has been awful at the faceoff circle this season, as many of the people on here assumed when Kreuger announced he would play center instead of wing, but Johansson is 10-38 at faceoffs this season.

briere48. I know im lame. Im gonna go back to it i think.

This is where i stand as well. I do like ERod, but i'm not going to say the guy is a game changer for us or any hockey club, but i would prefer him over Sobotka, Larsson or Okposo. Granted, Larsson and KO have played well so far this season, but i'm sure neither of those will sustain that type of play.

Should've gotten his shot regardless, but unfortunately it's because of Sheary's injury.

And they'll be rested. Havn't played since that Leafs game on Saturday night.

nope

How come the NYR have the entire week off? They played Saturday night and theyre off for a full week. That seems wacky.

Last night was super fun. Maybe the most fun ive had at a Sabres game since we had Briere and Drury on the ice. The thing that makes it so difficult to buy in right now, is how pessimistic most fans were and how down on the Sabres the media was and the two games this team has played it seems like its a brand new team. It's almost like Kreuger is a miracle worker based on how he has this team playing. Which just doesn't seem sustainable. Guys like Scandella and Larsson are looking excellent through the naked eye or the fancy stats. For example, a bad game tomorrow against a winnable opponent and then back on home ice vs. Carey Price and just like that this train could be derailed quickly. I completely bought in last season during the 10-game win streak so i'm trying to be a bit more grounded this time. And i feel like we got outplayed almost each game during that streak, while we've crushed both our opponents so far this season. Anyhow, i can't wait for tomorrow!
