    I don't think many are in the "all is well' camp with Risto. There's definitely areas of his game that could stand to be improved upon. But he offers something that nobody else provides on our back end. That strong physical presence that dishes out the physicality & doesn't just take it all game long.

    I think a D core needs a mix of physical players & offensive players. If Risto is taken out of the equation, our d core looks a lot more wimpy. Just my opinion of course ?

    And Risto plays almost every game each year..which is important, and Risto>>>>Scandella (who will be be gone soon enough) and For the record I like Scandella

  2. McCabe rocks, if he was the size of his father he would be an all-star!!!

    he does all the little things u need to win tough hockey games...

    I don't understand the love of these little soft players on this team that bring nothing but their stats.

    IMO if the Sabres lose Skinner for nothing at the end of the year it is a waste of assets!  If they re-sign him or move him before than I like the move, To answer the Q I picked Kane, we still need more toughness who can score!!!!  

    Just watched Skinner highlights and would like to change my vote!!!! OMG!!! this should be a fun year!

    If Botterill is serious about the nee for speed, Baptiste and Bailey are on the team come October.

    IMO put these guys with Girgensons and leave them together and have a high energy 3rd or 4th line.  Let them develop and not move them from 1st line to 4th line and back again (like last season) and kill penalties now that ROR is gone!!! 

  5. Bogo's contract is absurd given he plays 20 games per season and doesn't produce when healthy. $6 million per year for Glass Bo? Can he even be bought out? ...guess we're stuck with him until he gets hurt in November.

     

    Larsson isn't an NHLer.

     

    I actually kind of like Girgs as a defensive forward. He'd be a better 4th line center than Larsson IMHO.

    Yes I agree..Grigs would a be a solid 4th line Center and PKer!!!  Stop trying to make him a top 2 LWer already 

    He finishes his checks and is better than his stats...Larson is not as good as his stats and is a negative IMO!!!

  6. I would hate to see Casey rushed into a top 6 role he isn't ready for. If they do, they will ruin him. 

    I also think we need to reinforce a culture that says you EARN the spot, you don't just get given it cause you're the great hope. Everything I've heard from him makes me think he thinks it's all going to come easy. Same maturity issues as Eichel. We make them think they're god's gifts and then we wonder why they lack a work ethic. Unless he is absolutely brilliant in camp, I'd start him in Rochester for sure. 

    Put him between Bailey and Bastista (Spelling?)

    and leave them be as a third line... stop changing the lines every night!

  7. A trade out of desperation would most likely backfire.  The only move that he might make sense is moving Kane before you lose him for nothing.  Imagine the backlash for Jbot if he didn't get anything for Kane and the Sabres finish poorly!  All moves should be for the long term success of the team. 

  8. 2 down 80 to go. One mediocre game. I terrible game. Search parties have been sent to find ROR and KO. No confirmed sightings yet.

     

    Anyway, is it already time to try new lines? I think so.

     

    Girgensons Jack Pommers

    Kane ROR Okposo

    Larsson Reinhart Griffith

    Pouliot Josefsob Moulson

    IMO Larsson is lost in the new system, he seems to just skate round doing nothing at all, I like Nolan as a 4th line winger who can be on the PK.  The 4th line did well with him on it.

  9. IMO If E-Rod is part of this team we still stink

    a small soft forward who scores a hand full of goals does not equal a Big Z (or another player who is) scoring a hand full of goals and for-checking and killing penalties and can hit and get under the skin of the other team, especially in the playoffs

    again just IMO

     

    I like the 2-way signing he is a great Roch. guy and call-up if someone gets hurt but not much more
