  1. Zadorov kept getting penalized for his play that would have been let go at the NHL level. I get the feeling he was a little put off by the coddling the refs were doing. They basically told him he couldn't crush guys which is a huge part of his game.

     

    Maybe, but we'll see. I don't think the kid can jump to the NHL either. If murray would have thougth so he wouldn't have signed Benoit or Meszaros.

    They have to earn their spots now. All i hear is just like grigorenko, he needs to work on his foot speed.

  2. A lot of the kids would have to get awful good awful quickly for Weber not to be a regular.

     

    Don't even need the kids for that, well maybe one, but we got Pysyk, Benoit, Meszaros to take his spot.

     

    And really i got a little kid running away from a tank, Don't see anyone doing better. Any discussion is now closed.

  3. I maintain the Isles will be much I proved. I think Florida also has a chance to be less terrible. Edmonton maybe, but their goaltending defense is still so uncertain. Ironically, I think the Avs are poised to come back down to earth a bit. Still a playoff team, but my money is on a bottom-three seed.

     

    Corrected that for you :P

     

    edit: well guess you can centerdepth to that also. Their goalie situation looks fine though with scrivens and fasth.

    Don't know if it has been posted before.

     

    A former minor league hockey player has been arrested on charges he sold illegally obtained prescription painkillers to former hockey player Derek Boogaard of the Rangers and the Minnesota Wild who died of an accidental overdose. Jordan Hart was arrested Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014, on charges in a federal indictment unsealed in New York.
  5. The roster I would love

     

    Hodgson - Reinhart - Stewart

    Moulson - Grigorenko - Stafford

    Ennis - Girgensons - Gionta

    Foligno- Larson - Kaleta

     

    Myers - Gorges

    Zadorov - Ristolainen

    Pysyk - Meszaros

     

    Personally think Zadorov, grigs and reinhart will have to wait another year to become a mainstay though.

    Grigorenko might get called up after trade deadline.

     

    I think Hodgson has the ability and Hockey IQ to make a fantastic wingman for Reinhart, if stewart and stafford don't work out on that RW i'd put Zemgus there.

  6. Sure. John Henry (Boston Red Sox and Liverpool), Stan Kroenke (Colo. Avalanche and St. Louis Rams) come to mind immediately.

     

    EDIT: Also Paul Allen (Seahawks and Trail Blazers), Tom Benson (Saints and Pelicans), Comcast (Flyers and Sixers), MLSE (Leafs and Raptors).

     

    Aren't the owners of the buccaneers and Man united the same as well ? glazers ?

     

    its obvious they now need to put up a giant statue of pegula when you ride into buffalo, maybe fire can come out of his nose or something.

    Give the man some buffalo horns as well :D

  7. Bruins are in trouble with the cap, they still need to sign krug and smith, so they'll have to trade a top 6 guy most likely marchand to do so.

    Leino is already a desperate attempt to fill that void that marchand will leave but for cheap.

  8. Well the 2015 draft will be critical on our future roster make up. If we do grab another center (lets say Mcdavid) Grigorenko and Reinhart could become a 2a - 2B kind of thing.

    Or reinhart can wind up on his wing, who knows, I'm just getting excited looking at these kids. Moving Hodgson to the wing has already solidfied my believe that Grigs will be our #2.

     

    I see Girgensons more as our future #3 center though. Ideally he gets pushed back to that spot after 2015 because off all the talent down the middle.

     

    Reinhart will need to get physically stronger to play in a man's league and to be able to absorb punishing NHL hits like the one laid on him by Zemgus Girgensons at the Sabres Development Camp this July. It was a thundering, board-rattling hit that was a "welcome to the NHL" moment from a player who had the physical makeup to make the jump to the pros as an 18 yr. old.

     

    Guess im not alone in thinking this way. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Michael-Pachla/Building-the-Buffalo-Sabres-2014-15-roster--C-Zemgus-Girgensons/209/62158

  9. I can easily see Grigorenko make it and Reinhart being send back.

    Grigorenko needed some time to mature physically and it looks like he is finally there, allthough he doesn't have the hockey sense Reinhart has.

     

    The one thing that stood out from prospects camp to me was, how Reinhart looked like a kid vs Girgensons and Grigorenko wich is normal seeing he is two years behind.

    But if Reinhart isn't ready physically he needs to go back like tampa did with drouin. We really shouldn't risk him getting injured when he isn't phsyically ready for it.

    Grigorenko will most likely be send to the AHL, if he tears it up there he'll be a call up and Reinhart will get his 9 games.
