Tondas

If players had to earn their ice time, the Sabres would be playing shorthanded the entire game. Play the kid. I'm concerned that he's not more noticeable out there. Even at 18.

I think it all depends on when we give up on the season. As long as we're still trying to win, Hecht needs to play. When we're out of contention, he's taking up a spot on the roster where we could see what the kids in Rochester have to offer.

I'd like to see Rick Dudley come in here (prior to the deadline). He takes no crap, is beholden to no one, and knows what it takes to win in the league now. See the Habs, and the Leafs for that matter. Not that he is the GM, but success seems to follow him. He likes size and character as well. No more Stafford and Hecht. I think that would spell the end of Ennis (who I like), Gerbe (who I used to like) and Leopold (who I never liked). I think we'd see a Sabres team that was 50% different by September of 2013 with Dudley.
