    What is up with Neuvirth tho? The guy is always injured it seems. I say play Enroth until his arms fall off. Then go with a combination of Hackett, Makarov and Lieuwen down the stretch as a tryout for next season. At some point we need to find out if any of those prospects should be part of the long term plan.

    $5.75 million annual salary cap hit for the next six seasons..... OUCH!

    He's only 19, probably just an innocent mistake, but I like GMTM is sending a message... sucks for Zadorov, but he needs to be made an example of.

    Huge week for the Sabres. CAL, VAN, and a premiere matchup vs a CHL powerhouse in the Edmonton Oilers. My crystal ball tells me February might a tough month for Buffalo so its important they pile on the points while they can on the road. IMO, any less than 6 points this week will be a disappointment.

    Gone will be Stafford, Stewart and one or both of Enroth and Neuvirth. That's a certainty. What they get in return is any bodies guess but it's likely to include picks and perhaps a prospect or two... But there is no chance they bring any vets unless its somebody they can flip at the draft or have one year left.

    2015-16 roster

    pi2000 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club

    The thing is... this team can improve considerably next season and still finish 30th. That is reality. They'll be loaded with top end prospects, but they will need a couple of seasons to mature. Gone will be vets like Stafford, Stewart, Enroth/Neuvirth, perhaps Myers, Gionta, etc.. It's also a distinct possibility that they'll be even worse next year. That said, the top end of the 2016 draft (top 3 selection assigned by lottery) are absolute studs... Matthews, Chychrun, and Day. I don't believe Buffalo starts climbing the standing until 2016-17 at the earliest.

    My kids train a couple days a week with Anaheim Ducks skating coach Larry Barron. He uses a skating treadmill to fine tune their stride, arm position, hand rotation, knee bend, head and back position, etc... very very technical, Larry can talk for hours about proper skating technique it's actually very interesting. Then they spend about 30min on the ice applying everything. It's not a physically grueling skate, but it demands a high level of focus on the technical aspects of every part of the skating motion focusing on efficiency and maintaining speed. He also spends a lot of time with the Ducks draft picks every summer and part of the season with their AHL team putting them through the same type of drills.

    G Daniel Vladar The 2nd ranked international goalie prospect stands over 6'5 with a 0.931 SV% in the Czech league and he won't turn 18 until August.

    For a full season? Or through 45 games? I'm assuming the former.

    meanwhile, the Oilers are willing to trade their 1st round pick. http://www.thescore.com/news/684392 ..what would it take?

    Pierre Turgeon deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. 1300 career games, better than a point a game player over his career. 31st all-time in career scoring. More career points that Gilbert Perreault.

    Disagree. Eichel is playing against men in the NCAA where the vast majority of players are 20-23 year olds and is leading the country in scoring as an 18yo. McDavid is playing against teenagers. I know, I know.... World Juniors. However, you put Eichel on the Canadian team, and he's leading the tournament in scoring. Watching the WJC I was more impressed with Eichel's skills than McDavid's. When Eichel is on the ice he controls the game entirely. He has better puck possession skills, partly due to his incredible reach and extra long stick. He reminds me more of a Jagr type vs McDavid who is more like a Matt Duchene.

    The deadline is March 2nd. Buffalo has only 4 home games in March... 9 on the road. EDM has a 6 game homestand against TOR, CBJ, PHI, WIN, COL, DAL. ARI has a whopping 10 home games in March, they also play BUF twice near the end of the month. If BUF enters the deadline in the #1 spot, they'll walk away with this thing.

    The outdoor game thing is worn out. Winter Classic, Stadium Series... it's getting old. Maybe 1 game a year at most... but it's mostly just a dog and pony show at this point.

    Sabres: Lowest Goals for per game Highest Goals against per game Lowest shots for per game Highest shots against per game Good luck rest of the NHL. If it wasn't for that little winning streak in Nov, Buffalo would be somewhere around 24-25 points.

    Even if they blow it up, there is no chance they can catch Buffalo. Can they slid into a top 5 pick? Maybe.
  20. pi2000
    Comeback complete! What a great win, 11 in a row... how much longer can they sustain this level of play? Hopefully they don't cool off over the break.
  21. pi2000
    Sabres storming back to within a goal after being down 3-0 in the first! Plenty of time left in this game.
  22. pi2000
    Yes! Back on top of the CHL where we belong. Analytics and goal diff are proving their worth. Can't wait for them to get so far ahead we can actually cheer for them to lose again. They can't possibly lose in DET tomorrow? Next 5 on the road heading out West. This might just be the beginning of an historical winning streak. @DET @CGY @EDM @VAN @MTL
  23. pi2000
    In a good way? A regulation win tonight heading to DET tomorrow would be a nice way to enter the All-star break on an absolute tear. I don't understand how PHI is so bad with Giroux and Simmonds and Cotourier. Any of those players would instantly be the #1 guy in BUF. A BUF win and EDM loss at FLA would put BUF in 1st.
  24. pi2000
    Did GMTM screw up by not dealing Enroth when he was hot? I don't see them getting much more than maybe a 3rd round pick at this point... maybe could've fetched a 2nd in early Dec. The league seems to have him figured out. How many goals went in high last night? At least 5 of the 7? He covers the bottom of the net well, but he's too short.
  25. pi2000
    The Oilers are playing better, they'll get some wins eventually, but might not be for a while as they're currently on a tough stretch. March is when the magic will happen. Buffalo has only 4 home games and Edmonton has a 6 game homestand against some CHL contenders. Post trade deadline (March 2nd), BUF will be gutted of veterans, playing on the road virtually the entire month. And I just don't see the Oilers unloading any of their young talent, so they're not going to get any worse this season.
