    I'd like to see a poll on who's 1st PP unit and 2nd PP unit. Could be some interesting ideas especially along the blueline.

    I think this could also reflect on the roster....does Olofsson make it because of his shot? Is Mitts on 1st or 2nd? Who's in front of the net on 1st unit....Sam has performed well but,would it be Tage's big body? Dahlin and another D or a forward? does Pilut and Dahlin work together?

    Some questions and answers could be very interesting.

    Do it. Dog days need that type of discussion starter.

    Sorry guys.....I started to do this but the list kept getting too long. I wanted to make a list with boxes to the right for 1st and 2nd units (kind of like yes or no on a questionaire) but don't seem to be able to.

    This Poll here has 15 choices with 7 other names left off and that's just forwards....now throw in some D-men and the list could get to 30 easy. Some can obviously be left off but ....

    Another well-thought-out poll from dudacek.

    I legitimately would like to see Pominville playing the Jochen Hecht role all season.  It's good to have a guy who can settle down the game.

    What’s the appeal of Danny O’Regan? What role do people see him claiming.

    Nothing stood out to me about his game in my brief viewings.

    Supposedly has some good skills and the comparison I saw was to Tyler Johnson. Size might be an issue (or excuse).

    Anyway, he played at BU with Jack and Erod....maybe they hope some chemistry ignites some day.

    Nice user name by the by.

    As for stats ... I'm not a stat kind of guy, especially the 'fancy' ones.

    Thanks again!

    Neither am I and I'm not real computer savvy....in fact, why does thing keep logging me out when I submit a post?

    Welcome!!

    Very good effort on your first post, so keep them coming.

    And ... I hope you are right.

    Thank you!!

    I think way too many times  stats are used in an argument  to PROVE one side or the other. Stats will never PROVE anything and should be used to only SUPPORT your opinion which is only your opinion.

    FOW% is as misleading as any other stat....for example: Carolina was #1 in team % and every one of their C's are above 54% but where are they in the standings? Sabres were #7 and where were they? Alternatively, Caps were 13th and Golden Knights were 22nd. Pitt was 28th when winning a cup and Tampa has been 27th for a couple years.

    One stat will not win a cup and one player will not either, and that's why I think we'll be ok with Ryan gone. The big things are playing as much in the offensive zone as possible and the players stepping up and giving their all EVERY nite and EVERY shift. We in Sabreland remember a team that over acheived (and the foot in the crease) much like the Knights this year. These are the things that don't show up on the stat sheets.

    I don’t remember so many people caring about losing a top 5 face-off man when we traded Ott. 

    Or Gaustad.

    Hello everyone....newbie here. I've been behind the scenes reading allot of posts and decided to take the risk of commenting (dip the toes in the pool so to speak).

    Personally I think we'll be alright without O'Reilly and here's why...we depended on him too much. We had him @ 60%FOW and Larsson @ 54.5%FOW....now we have lost Ryan but added Berglund @ 55.1% and Sobotka @ 54.3 giving us 3 FO guys. Combined points Berg/Sobotka are close to O'Reilly so anything Tage brings is a plus (and then the draft picks eventually) so I can't see how we could lose this trade. We haven't done anything with Ryan here except go backwards (and I'm not in anyway blaming that on him)and his year end comments were taken by most more like a glass of hemlock instead of Kool-aid.

    The place I see that we might miss a beat is on the PP where Berg/Sobotka won't be helping out, however Tage might come in handy at least on the 2nd unit (big body in front) and Dahlin will certainly help.

    I have to agree with those who believe that we have added depth and we may have also added a different kind of leadership. I liked O'Reilly and wish him the best but, with all the moves St Louis made if he doesn't help push them to another level then we may already know who won this trade and not have to wait for the picks to find out.
