I think it is a good pick. Always draft BPA.
Also if your Vesey its another high end offensive talent to play with for years to come!
-
Lucic, Ott, McGinn
lets get tough to play against!!!
and protect the young guys
Go Sabres
-
I'm not sure there is a forward that I would consider a playoff specialist. My point was that referring to anyone as a "specialist" infers that he is a liability to your team in other parts of the game. Guys like Stamkos and Ovechkin bring so much more to the game. Do they excel on the power play? Of course but to state that they shouldn't play 5 on 5 is, well, laughable.
See Donald Addett (not sure about the spelling!!!) former sabres winger
-
Here's to hoping this is the start of the "Good Days!"
Go Sabres!!!
-
1st off...
Kane will be fine.
2nd off...
most or all of the sabres #s are down (stats r 4 losers!)
DB needs to play Kane with players who go to the net and throw pucks to the net...oh wait we don't have many
Kane is a force that other team fear and plan ahead for.
if or when the sabres make the playoffs Kane is the type of player that plays well when the going gets tough...See the jets fans comments from last year
ps did I mention Kane will be fine!
pps Go Sabres, keep bring in real "Hockey" players to Buffalo
-
They would be smart to resign McGinn!!!
ASAP
and
trade the captain G!!!!!!
-
I agree
the sabres seem to do better when they get the puck in deep and go after it, although they did just score some goals
they seem to try to be a puck possession type of team and not a get it deep and go bang 'em type
-
This game could show us a lot about the current sabres
a win and we are playing well
another loss and we r who everyone else thought we are
Go Sabres!!!
-
Moving Zemgus to a line with Eichel defeats the purpose of using Zemgus to spell ROR of defensive responsibilities. Z and Gionta on the 3rd line. Kane with ROR. Eichel with Moulson. Move the rest of the parts wherever you see fit.
And move McGinn up even to the 1st line with ROR and kane!
Wasn't McGinn ROR's linemate in Col.?
-
He struggled early, but I think it's mostly just different usage. He went from being the top line center with the best teammates, tons of minutes and 1st unit PP time to 3rd line center. I'd still like to see him on the wing in the top-6.
This can be said for Ennis, Girgensons and Larsson
they were all the number ones last year at some point and put up better numbers
Ennis will be fine
Girges will be fine
Kane will be fine
I for one do not like the line combos
when healthy he should put Girgenson with ROR
and
have Reinhart (Spelling?) center the third line and develop as a center
also
has he tried Kane with ROR?
-
I believe Girgenson is not the player he was before. During this last year he was actually destroying people. During that same time I felt other players hit him very hard which should have drawn penalties but did not. This went on for sometime and resulted in him getting hurt. I do not think he will ever be the same. I am still a big fan and think he will be a major contributor but he will never have the big hits he had last year.
again just my observations!
Go Sabres!
ps girgenson will fine!
-
I for one love this move, (to get ROR)...it reminds me of the Bennett move for the Bills in the early 90s...a big bold move to build a winner not just a get there kind of team!!!
by the way I did not see it coming like everyone else...I was like "WOW"
He is the real deal
Go Sabres!!!
-
Simple everyone hates Lindros
unless he is on your team!!!!
Then the question is how many Lindros jerseys do you have...well I have one more than that!!!!
ps back to the best Sabres team ever!!!!
or at least in a long time
Go Sabres!!!!
-
A 20 goal scorer who is big, fast, and finishes checks..hmmm....sounds like everything we have wanted all of these previous over paid former Sabres to be!
This roster is so much better top to bottom from the last few years
Go Sabres!!!!
-
Hope this happens. We need a veteran defenseman or two. The more competition and depth the better. He's also the best available d-man left on the market, relatively young, the contract looks like it will be short term, and we have plenty of cap space.
This and let the chips fall where they will with ice time for the D!!!!
-
Next year will be fun!!!!
Fun in a way we haven't had around here for a long time!!!
Go GMTM
Go Sabres
-
He will be a solid third line guy
last year he played with Flynn and Mitchel and was fine just think how much better he will be Grigs and Folgino
-
Solid 6th D-man that every team needs and other players love!!!!
-
Good depth signings now sign Cody F
and see wins a job and ice time on our D
Go Sabres!!!!
-
Kane will be fine...
He is just what this team needs...less passing pretty plays and more hard nosed tough hockey..."Playoff Hockey!!!"
Go Sabres!!!
-
Does anyone here want Stafford back? (For free like we resigned him)
or even Myers (Who I like) if it means giving back Kane or Zach B
I for one do not!
Go Sabres!
-
Who cares what Newbes think? Toughen up buttercups!
This site is nice because if U post something stupid or silly people call u on it.
It the bickering back and fourth that is interesting
and
I am the smartest guy in the room because I know I am not the smartest guy in the room...the trick is to take it all in and figure it out!!!
Go Sabres!!!!
-
Simple...who ever sucks the most!!!!
Lehner could become an easy target as a goalie though, but
I hope It is a bruin or senator!!!!
Go Sabres!!!
-
Does anyone else look at the Lehner deal as being something we can use to learn about GMTM in many ways? If Lehner truly ends up being elite (whatever "elite" means to you) - GMTM shows great evaluation skills. If Lehner is "good enough for 2 years, and at that point either one of our prospects becomes "elite" and GMTM lets Lehner go and accepts that, he shows that he is willing to accept change and not strictly rely on one of "his boys". If Lehner bombs from the start, and GMTM doesn't hesitate to correct the mistake, is he showing that he will own up to his decisions?
It seems everyone who had problems with Darcy were upset not just because of mistakes, but because we seem to have had to live with those mistakes for so long. I am anxious to see how GMTM does when something doesn't work (The ROR trade can be looked at the same way). I don't expect him to be perfect, I just hope he can own up to and attempt to fix things when they don't work out. And I am hoping this works out.
Well said.
For GMTM if Lehner is a legit number one Goalie he has done a masterful job of creating a solid team to make some noise in the playoffs!!! (Soon) If not he still has made moves to make the Sabres a tough team that should be hard to play against... I love it!
Go Sabres!!!
Sabres acquire Dmitry Kulikov for Mark Pysyk
in The Aud Club
Posted
I like this trade
we get a top 4 tough D-man who hits and will drop the gloves for someone who can't clear the front of the net.
Kulikov is who took out J. Benn last year
and we also get a better prospect
go GMTM
ps he is also left handed
