I'm asking ROR to be an overall leader on and off the ice, not a tough guy. Frankly, I think Reinhart needs to get knocked on his ass a few times. From several reports he's been the first guy on the ice and last guy off. Every. Single. Day. And guys like Reinhart are also practicing with him. I don't need ROR around to jump into fights after the whistle based on a clean play by a Panthers Dman.

I have absolutely no doubt that McCabe will be a top 4 LHD within a year or two.
-
That's fair. We've already debated where we both think the cap is going and what a 7.5 mil player will be worth in 4 or 5 years so no sense rehashing it. It's not his faceoff ability I love. it's the leadership and all around gameplay.

Haven't checked this thread in a couple weeks. Great news man. After reading all the house trouble, it's nice it's finally unloaded off of your plate. Good luck in Denver!

Here I thought we finally had you converted :P I don't get how anyone can say in x years time we will have x player to supplement him. You know what winning teams all have? Depth. They have top line guys playing on 2/3 lines. The original anti-ROR discussion was we don't need ROR because we have him already in Girgs. I said it before and I'll say it again, in three years time when were in the Eastern Conference Finals and it's Game 6, your going to be dying to get as many players similar to ROR/Girgs on your team as possible.

Bookmarked. Thanks for that.

I would like to see that. Unfortunately it may take a top 6 injury for that to come into play but Reinhart impressed me last night. I'm seeing him with a bit more confidence and holding the puck a little bit longer. As liger points out, I think he will be fine and would love to see him get a few shifts with some skill.
-
I can agree with this. But that's part of the reason I don't want him playing with our Phenom who has unreal hockey IQ. I love Kane's skill, I'm not saying I want him off the team, but I don't want Jack playing with him.
-
I am coming around to TB thinking. I cannot stand Kane and Eichel playing together. Kane is the biggest puck hog I've ever seen. He's got the skills to pull it off but I'd rather he be doing it on a line sans Eichel. Something is just not clicking between those guys and it's likely because they play similar styles. Disco seems to be mixing up everybody and their grandmother on lines but has those two stapled together. Let's just give it a try there Dan!

:w00t: This is excellent.

Fair point. I'm a Jays fan so they have tied me over. My Generals won the Memorial Cup last year which also helped. Before that it was a nada for about 5 years so I understand the point. This team will be good though. Enjoy the ride my friend :beer:

Reinhart: Fewer minutes in NHL or more minutes in AHL?
Derrico replied to pi2000's topic in The Aud Club
To me, trading his hot goalie was a tank related move. Then his backup gets hot? Yep, let's trade his ass too. Loved the moves, but they were 100% tanking moves. Don't give me the trading expiring contracts excuse either, what did we end up with, a conditional 3rd round pick or two? -
Even after that collapse? Let's Go Blue Jays!!

I'm the exact opposite. We all figure this team is going to be really good in the not too distant future. Jack Eichel is a star in the making and we are just experiencing this for the first time. This season is going to be so much fun, even if we continue to win only 1 every 3 games (although I think the wins will be coming soon). I don't feel the pressure as a fan to have my team win and I can just enjoy good hockey for a change. In a years time we're really going to start wanting wins and overanalyzing losses. Especially coming off of how stressful how last season was, I'm in no hurray for the year to pass by.

I forgot he lived in Texas. You were the Rangers fan weren't you :P
-
:w00t: Forgot all about that. This is my board but I do lurk occasionally on HF and tried on a couple of occasions to recruit him back. No such luck, obviously.
-
Great post. There's some upset in the Zadorov/ROR trade thread that points out the 'redundancy' of bringing in another centre. It was an excellent move by GMTM. Jack Eichel is the future of this franchise and by insulating him with solid leadership and having the ability to shelter him where necessary, this will lead to strong development for him and all of our young guys which will still be promoted to the big club in the coming years.

That works perfectly. I appreciate you stopping in to post these wallpapers. I know I'm not alone in saying that's the desktop image on all of my computers (work and home). Thanks again man.

Ask and you shall receive. Looks like they didn't have GDT back then so this is the closest I could find. http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/3744-pominvilleeee/

Finally someone else is going to step up on their Tank Bets!

Good to hear. Thanks.

Interesting point. I'm glad management came to their senses early on about McCabe. I'm not saying he's a world beater at this point in his career but even with 10 NHL games of experience he's the second best left handed Dman in our organization today. This is his fourth season post draft and although there will be mistakes along the way this guy is ready for the show. I say keep Weber out as the 7th man until injury hits and you roll with Georges, McCabe and move someone over to LHD as your top 3 on the left side. I don't need Donovan (although I see he was waived today), Colo or even Weber in front of this guy on our depth chart.

This is excellent. And so close to becoming reality. God bless Cam Atkinson!!

Unreal post. My wife cares much less about the Sabres than I but I had her watch jacks goal and then read this post. She's starting to get the hype and my excitement to watch the games with my boys in another year or two.

Don't want to be that guy but this is what I've been calling for. Even when bogo comes back I hope he keeps a spot. Sure doesn't hurt he's a lefty either.
