  1. I like Rob Ray, but I feel comfortable pretty much ignoring anything he says

     

    No, you're right.

    Even when Kane is in a scoring slump, he's such a pain in the butt to play against. I love seeing him force quick decisions because of his forecheck, and seeing many of the forced decisions become bad decisions.

     

    He's a pretty awesome forechecker.  Even if it doesn't lead to a Sabres scoring chance, it keeps the opponent in their zone a little longer and keeps them out of our zone.

  2. Fair enough.  Lindros did the same kind of thing Drouin is kind of doing and look what happened to his career.  If the same positive results would happen to Drouin when he became a Sabre, I certainly would not be mad.  Is the gamble worth it?  Depends on all of the parts that it'll take to take said gamble, of course.

     

    But the trade sent the Cup the other way, to the Nordiques/Avs.

  3. I like Pysyk too, but lets face it, we've set the bar awfully low these past few seasons for what we consider quality defensemen.    He has good agility, but like most of the defensemen on this roster, he's slow and won't win many puck races back into the zone.    

     

    IMO Ennis, Pysyk and (I'm guessing) a 3rd... isn't enough to land Drouin if I'm Stevie Y.

     

    I think he's arguably our best defensive defenseman.

    The Avs are motivated.
