  2. Sabres Development Camp

    Completely agree with this. I think these two are going to compliment each other so well. It's going to be so much fun watching these two young men grow.

    Agreed. I think his interview showed how much he's matured since last year (lol I just want to make the team last year versus I will do whatever I can to make the team better this year). With Eichel on board he knows he's on the brink of something awesome, and that he has a role to play. I thought it was great that he said he'd play D if that's what the team needed of him.

     

    Eichel's interview is pretty funny too- he says he needs to put on weight and improve his strength. He's already a fireplug. I like that he's always looking to improve, but geez he already looks like the Hulk.

    He looks bigger than those that are even taller than him... He's an imposing figure on the ice and plays so smooth.

     

    I met Brett Hull in an airport once.  Even before I saw his face I knew he was a professional athlete.  Not a tall guy, but very BIG.  Eichel has the same kind of build.

    I think the difference here is "hopes" versus "expectations." I don't really expect to win a Stanley Cup this year, or really, that they will even make the playoffs. Still, I'm hoping for both. I do that every year, even last year. I didn't give up on them until 0-for-January.

     

    If you're going to bring in a new coach with a new system though, the current situation is ideal. The carryover players will likely, for the most part, eagerly embrace a new system in light of the vacuum that was Nolan's system, and the new players know they will need to adapt and adjust to a new team and a new level of play. With the sacking of CoHo I don't see anyone on the team that will have a problem with that.

     

    Things probably won't click right away, but then again, they might. No other team is ahead of the Sabres in the 2015-16 standings so far, so they're definitely in the hunt for now.

    Due props to Bucky. That article was readable. He had previously demolished any high ground from which he pissed on everything.

     

    I laughed when I read about the flip phone in the article, just as I laughed when I saw Terry pull it out of his pocket at the draft table. He uses a busted old flip phone that looks older than a Motorola Razr v3. It was endearing in a geriatric way.

    I'm sure "his people" have all the tech he needs just off camera.

    Jake Allen, 2yr extension

    In general, can you name the team and position even if it's an extension? Some of us may know the rosters of all the teams, but I suspect at least some of us don't.

     

    (for the record, Jake Allen is a G for St. Louis)

    I was 100 % for the teardown. It is a realistic goal now that we are into the build part of the tank. 100 % try to make the playoffs.

    So you meant going forward that should be the goal, not that every team always should try to make the playoffs.

    Remind me again, we're you cool with Dylan Strom or Noah Hanafin?

    Not sure how that's relevant. I wasn't arguing with bunomatic, just trying to clarify what he said.
