I think Fasching is on the Sabres starting lineup at latest by Saturday. I'd put him with O'Reilly and move Kane back to the Eichel line while Girgs and Fasching play with ROR. I'd try Fasching with R & E near the end like the final couple games.

BUF 3 OTT 1 and a good game by the boys and geezers

Probably the biggest jump I've ever seen in a PK; going from inept to legit in about a month.

I honestly doubt that, they may blow up their team again according to TSN with only McDavid and Drasital not on the list. Maybe? Taylor Hall seems fed up, and I could see McDavid being angry if he continues his 1+ ppg with a team that can't make the playoffs. I could see him signing an offer sheet at least. If McDavid = Crosby, then I'd worry for his ability to win Cups. Pittsburgh's downfall has been their incompetence in filling out their roster and expecting Crosby to carry that team. Edmonton has shown no difference in terms of just throwing trash around their stars and expecting it to work. Buffalo has brought in players around Eichel to insulate his early years and support him afterwards, Edmonton doesn't have a ROR and their closest thing to Kane is Kassian. Not to mention they have drafted the same player every year with varying skill aside from Nurse and Draisital. McDavid > Hall > RNH > Eberle > Yakopov, and not one of them plays any differently in style. McDavid's a wonder child and Hall is elite, RNH is a mixed bag due to injury history but does play D some and the other two don't know what backchecking is.

He needs to go to the dentist more often, what ever he was on afterward made him sound very good on WGR. Maybe he's nervous and the laughing gas made him not feel those nerves? Glad to see his life seems good, he comes off as a teddy bear deep down. Maybe his son will be a skilled NHLER like Domi's kid

Nash's contract would come up concurrent with Eichel and Reinhart's ELCs. As long as the price to acquire him is smaller I'd like the pick up. Likely a better investment than Stamkos in terms of the long term protection of our home grown studs. Not to mention if he's still ok in 2 years, we may be able to resign him at a cheaper rate.

Eichel, mainly because O'Reilly is coming off an injury and will take some time to get his groove back most likely.

If I had money I'd jump on it, but I'm a poor just out of college student

C O'Reilly/Girgs have sorta both filled the 2nd line role

Will someone tell Brendan Woods to turn around?

The end is nigh

2-1 Boston :censored:

I'd guess Tachuck would be about equal to Landeskog in theory. But I understand your point, however trading a captain tends to create a shake up. Another thought is they would use 5 to grab Cyckryen they'd be acquiring their other high end Dman and Ennis is 15pts less than Landeskog. So maybe.... :) Landeskog for Lindholm? Not Buffalo related but curious

I would disagree, and here's why. Supposedly the Avs ownership doesn't want to pay a lot of money in contracts. They are also supposedly going to retool if they miss the playoffs. If we retain 600k on Ennis he becomes a 4 x 4mil 45pt + guy while the 6 spots move up is important because the 5th overall may very well be able to play in the NHL next year while a 11th overall is highly unlikely too. So I guess it'd be more even at 5 + Ennis(about 13%) for Landeskog + 11 Avs would save 1.5mil and get a better prospect. Though it only makes sense if the Avs owners are truly really frugal.

If we end up with 5th overall, and Colorado has 11th overall and they offer Buffalo 5 & Ennis for Landeskog, 11, and their 3rd would you take it?

If they get Laine with #2 overall their line could be known as "The Terrible Twos!"

1. Maturity and I think he actually has been humbled a bit by both of their skill and ability. Remember anyone who was better than him in Winnipeg was at least 5 years older than him. Not to mention they are his first, aside from ROR, legitimate centers who are not only his equal but likely better. He no longer has to do everything by himself. Think Ennis from the few games he played this year and how he was struggling to find the median of possession and passing due to his need to personally possess the puck ultimately the last two years. Kane had to break out of about 5 or 6 years of that. 2. If we finish the season with this momentum and skill being shown by the youngsters, I don't care where we finish.

The Mythbuster line lol :P Woohoo, we win! Eichel has more goals this year than years he's been alive! Reinhart with another silky pass and dusted off Vanek's old around the world deke #### You Toronto!

Eichel- impression of MJ C. O'Reilly- God I'm tired Risto- Whaaaaaaaaat? While observing the replay. Reinhart-I'm conflicted, I just helped Jack get ahead of me in goals.

My thoughts as well, I'm all for critical thinking and cynical opinions when "a team" calls for it. But when you go after the paying customers, then you really are crossing the line of journalism into self-righteous BS.

My prediction was close in its final :) Just really happy with the win, just wish the Sabres of the 2nd/3rd would show up more often than the Sabres of the 1st. Gionta seems to like playing more after the All Star break, like last year he's racking up points.

8-2 Buffalo, Eichel plays like a man possessed and racks up 6 points 3g3a Risto and Reinhart light it up with 2g2a each and Girgs gets 1g2a

Oh how I wish Lehner would of just ran out there and decked McDavid as he came in, send him home in a set of casts. Such a Buffalo way to lose, the more we change the more we stay the same. No matter what we do or try we always are doomed to play second fiddle.

Makes sense

I'd try to get Risto to sign a 6 to 8 year deal at 6.5mil. I'm not risking a bridge deal. From there lets guess we end up with any of the players in the Top 4 (Matthews, Laine, Puja, Tachuck) and Fasching is a Sabre DraftPick-Eichel-Girgs Kane-ROR-Reinhart Foligno-Larsson-Fasching Deslauries-Schaller-Gionta Moulson Defensively we need to acquire Cam Fowler, we have Ennis, "Moulson", 2017's 1st a bunch of other picks Fowler-Risto McCabe-Bogo Gorges-Pysyk Franson? I'd really rather not tie up money in Yandle who is very one dimensional.
