Tyler Seguin played both his rookie and his breakout sophomore seasons on the wing. Did that stunt his growth? This meme has to die and die fast--there is nothing wrong with starting a center at wing to break him into the NHL, and it's a fairly common practice, even with high-end prospects.
Your right. I just don't like it.
-
O'Reilly was brought in to make sure Eichel and Reinhart don't have to play #1 center yet.
Things may change as the season goes on though.
I'm sure thats the case, I'm just not with it. Like they said all day yesterday at the draft there is no reason reason to shelter these kids anymore. But switching a true center like Reinhart between winger and center is a recipe for stunting the kids growth.
-
@BuffNewsVogl: Sabres coach Dan Bylsma isn't ready to form lines but says start with Ryan O'Reilly as No. 1 center and go from there.
@BillHoppeNHL: Dan Bylsma just said it's early, but Zemgus Girgensons could be moved back to wing. #Sabres
Really IMO O'Reilly and Zemgus need to be switched to wing.
-
So whats everybody thinking with the 51st pick?
-
My lines would be
O'Reilly Eichel Ennis
Kane Reinhart Moulson
Foligno Zemgus Gionta
Legwand Larsson Mcginn
Pysyk Bogo
Gorges Risto
Weber McCabe

buy a hodgson jersey dammit
No doubt!!!
-
@RealKyper: O'Reilly to #sabres close.
Sorry, I know I'm in the minority here. But please no.
-
Where is all this trade Reinhart stuff coming from? Did I miss something?
-
HOss is one of your favorites? That's the stupidest thing ever posted here. :)
Lol yeah his battles with sicknfla and the rest of the anti tankers are one of the main reasons I stopped lurking and signed up.
-
Come on guys, if the majority of us could watch every ###### Arizona Coyote game down the stretch then I'm sure some dude in Florida watching RoR a few times is plausible.
Lmao thanks dude
-
I doubt most folks would think of that, it'd be nigh-well impossible for you to get 20-30 live Avs games in FL without CI/GC, but watching replays makes sense. Everyone Keep Calm and Keep Going. :)
Lol it's my bad. Nothing gets me fired up more lately than RoR. But being questioned about how many games I actually watched got me going a little bit. In all honesty Hoss is one of my favorite posters, so no anger there. But I do tend to watch most of the replays. Especially after all the RoR talk started I started paying more attention to the Av' s.
-
I'm kinda of shocked Florida and Tampa bay only played them 2x each this year. It seemed like more. I don't know maybe I have some different kind of package, because numerous times this year I asked myself how many Av' s games are they going to play. Also I tend to watch the three next day replays on nhl network. So maybe not 30, but definitely close to 20. Really the overall point is I've seen enough of RoR to not want him on this team.
-
Well d##ks I guess in Florida we have better cable service. Here I get the nhl network, nbcsn, sun sports network, and the Florida sports network. Sun sports plays all the lightning games which I watch about 90% of. Florida sports plays the Panthers games which I watch some of. Nhl network plays the most of the games the next day so I watched them a few times there and oh yeah nbcsn must of had 10 to 15 games of theirs this year for the late night games. So yeah about 20 to 30 times I saw him play this year. Thanks for playing.
-
Actually, the only free agent I want this year is a goalie. Personally I want this team to stay young and develop together as a team. Then when this team is ready to make a playoff run we can start trading for guys like RoR. But for now stay the course and develop our prospects to see where they actually fit with this team going forward.
-
Sorry, but where I live in Florida I seem to get a lot of Av' s games. Watched RoR about 20 to 30 times this year and the guy never impressed me. I will say he plays hard every shift, but other than that and his solid defensive game there is nothing that makes me want to give up an excessive amount of picks/prospects to get him. Oh yeah and 8mill a year.
The Oshie thing is because I feel he was made to be on Samson' s wing.
-
This offer ends the conversation and makes the Rangers change their phone numbers.
Calling ROR a scrub is laughable. Saying we should focus on a 31 year old that will cost the farm versus guys like O'Reilly whose best years are ahead of them and are under 25 is questionable.
Well honestly this site's love affair with RoR is what is questionable. The guy is slightly above average at best. In all honesty how hard you fought for the tank is how hard I'm willing to fight to keep RoR off this team lol.
Now I agree Nashs age is a problem, but the guy probably has 5more years of 30 plus goals in him. Really there are other players I would much rather go after than Nash. Toffoli and Oshie are the two i want to go after this summer.

Friedman on Sabres if NYR shop Nashhttp://www.todaysslapshot.com/from-the-ice/friedman-watch-sabres-on-possible-nash-trade/
For all the posters that want to trade the world for a scrub like RoR, this is the type of trade we should focus on. But what would it take to get Nash? Does something like Larsson, the 21 pick, and Big Z get the conversation started?
-
What do you think of the PS4 relative to the PS3? It seems like the improvements are very incremental.
Am I wrong?
I can say that the difference in nhl14 on ps3 and nhl15 on ps4 is astronomical.
-
It would be nice to see some trades. We need some GM interested in Tim's offers.
There were supposedly no takers last year for a late 1st for all 3 of our 2nd rounders.
Yeah I was shocked by that.
-
MEIER!!
That's my first choice also. After that its Zacha and then everybody else.
-
I guess I'm on the opposite side of the fence than you guys. I'm on board with everything GMTM and DDB said. I think Zads has proven himself capable of top four minutes. IMO his failures last year are due in large part to Ted Nolan's lack of a system and some immaturity of youth. Honestly he needs to be in DDB' s system day one.
Once again with a defined role with the team. I see no reason Samson should be in the roc this year. His ppg average in the ahl at the end of the year should be proof enough. Really I think it would stunt his growth more than help it. While on the topic of stunting growth, can we stop with lets put Samson on the wing stuff. The only time I want him on the wing is when he is playing the Stamkos power play way, but with him feeding passes instead of one timers. Really the center I want playing wing is Zemgus.
So in that case my top two lines would look like this
Kane Eichel Ennis
Moulson Reinhart Zemgus
To me this year is about nothing but development!!!
-
Evil dead fan, eh?
Army of Darkness for me.
-
Anybody watching From Dusk Till Dawn the series? I think it's really well done.
-
Went all Governor from the walking dead, drove the tank (hehe) through the fence took out a couple of the sniper towers, most notably, me, Eleven and d4rk, treated the board like Hershel then settled in like Carol rejoining the group after Rick abandoned her.
Lol... thats quite the mental image. In all honesty I was lurking for about 2years. It was Hoss who ultimately got me to join up, with his battles with Sick about the tank. Felt like I had to get me some of that. Really there are about ten posters here that if they comment on a thread then I will read it.
Kessel and Phaunef for Reinhart, Hodgson and Gionta?

Never and I mean never would I ever do that trade.
