  1. I thought that goes without saying. However, I still think he can break 30 goals I agree
  2. I wasn't saying 7th would be shaming. Below that, I thought, would
  3. This would seem believable if he didn't lead our team in goals. So...
  4. What I'm saying is, if we don't want him to play, that is our only option. It is our responsibility to deal with the (unfortunate) situation honorably, as opposed to shaming a veteran who did nothing wrong.
  5. Exactly what I was saying. If we don't want him on the ice, the honorable thing to do is buy him out.
  6. absolutely sick shot at 1'24" by Pommer: https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video/sabres-now-91517/t-277437090/c-52665003
  7. Was there anything conclusive re:rumors of him being, like, 23 at the time of the draft? Would explain a lot...
  8. I think he'll find his niche this year. I do agree he does lack some vision, but I think he could have more 30 goal seasons on the right line with the right system. I think this system will bode well for him
  9. I forgot about that thing. Well, makes the decision for Wowie easier Lost on me... born '85 ;)
  10. I wouldn't use the same reasoning, but I can definitely see Jack not getting the C until he has a real season beyond what he considers "mediocre." (Basically, the season that would validate his contract asking price) If O'Reilly gets it this year, and Jack has 80pts at the end of the year, no one (incl ROR) would be upset for Eichel to get the C the following year.
  11. I - obviously - do not fear the slug. Only wish I had an "away" version, I thought those looked better...
  12. I was also wondering about Gionta's (and also heard about Gorges's) reputation in the locker room. Was it their tone that wasn't resonating with the younger players? Curious about any inside info...
  13. This x1000 I read over this quickly, didn't see the "R," and thought I read "Leino," and almost had a heart attack. Especially if Kane, Eichel, and D-men are the primary impetus of the rush/zone entry. Ok, we get it, you don't like Zemgus's play when he was playing with borderline NHL'ers. I still have memories of Zemgus's dangle vs. Detroit late in Nolan's last season. He has talent. This x1000
  14. I agree- I also think Samson at center supported by wingers with speed would be a win-win. But doesn't change the fact that I think there are multiple scenarios in which Samson's lack of speed could, indeed, be a liability.
  15. I think it was a liability last season. Consider our zone entry problems. When people like Reinhart or Foligno were on the ice, opposing d-men knew they weren't going to get beat and could play more aggressively in the neutral zone, etc. I think it affected our zone entries in a big way. Also, that's assuming the team really needs something like that. I think, if our current d corps has success, there is no need to consider letting someone like Kane go. Ideally, Kane also puts up good numbers, establishes chemistry, and signs an extension during the season :flirt:
  16. Wow, you're just really misunderstood around here. The whole bringing-up-Kane-out-of-nowhere on this thread, followed by unsubstantiated rumors, accusations, and again questioned his work ethic.... I don't know. I'm not going to label whatever it is you have against him, but it seems pretty deep-seated.
  17. Off ice issues, if anything, are old news. Get over it. Many people on the Sabres complained (publicly and reportedly) about things last year... none of whom were named "Kane."
  18. No, it wouldn't surprise me. And from now on, it won't surprise me when you present unsubstantiated rumors and speculation on certain players, particularly Kane.
