X. Benedict Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 BUY - #72 with his reach and hands posting up in the slot. What's that kids name? Luke Adamreychuk? SELL - Whoever let Kopitar get behind the D. How's that happen? West coast games must end too late to know who Kopitar is. He is a member of the Marcels Anonymous- it's a twelve stepper for nameless superstars. HOlD- Didn't see you Ville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 HOLD- On Lieno centering that line. BUY- Erhoff pair on the ice with "Adam" line. It enhances their lethality and ability to enter the zone cleanly. HOLD-Sabres ability to handle an above average forecheck and defense the middle(Philly and Boston will tell us a lot) HOLD- Sabres PP when denied the zone and there is pressure on the puck in the o zone . BUY-Regehr's physical play and the speed of his outlet pass decision making when under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 BUY THESE LINE COMBO's: Vanek Adam Pominville (Adam is your #1 center for $6 mil less than trading for Spezza). Ennis Leino Stafford (clicked in preseason) Hecht Roy Boyes (all three are trade bait) Gerbe Goose Kaleta (this group really clicked in preseason) McCormick (keeper, next man up) Ellis (should be captain in Rochester) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Buy -- Pommer. Gotta give it to him -- very strong start as the C. Buy -- Vanek. Great chemistry with Adam and Pommer so far. Great maturity. Good work on the PK. Buy -- Ennis and Gerbe. The smurfs have picked up where they left off last year. Ennis is a force and Gerbe is relentless. How about that play in the opener when one of the Ducks (I think it was Ryan or Perry) took a shot at Miller even though he knew that it wouldn't count because of a delayed penalty and Gerbe gave him an immediate slash and a shove? Outstanding. Buy -- Gragnani staying in the lineup. Very poised and a strong addition to the PP. And as long as he plays this well, the Sabres are going to want to play him enough times to keep his rights. Buy -- Regehr. An experienced, physical defenseman who plays all the tough minutes. He's the best DR trade acquisition in quite some time. Buy -- Miller. Very strong play although not tested yet in crunch time. Sell -- Boyes. Sloppy with the puck and generally ineffective. Sell -- forward line combinations other than Adam-Pommer-Vanek. I think we're in for more tinkering. I'd like to see Leino with Ennis and Stafford, and Roy with Gerbe and Boyes (or Roy-Gerbe-Hecht when Hecht returns). Hold -- Myers. He's been good but not great IMHO. With great power comes great responsibility. Hold -- Roy. He looks fast, so I think the leg has recovered, but he hasn't found the groove yet.

LastPommerFan Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Buying- A Pominville Jersey with the "C". Seriously, My jersey is a slug (Sadly, no slug appreciation day in southwest Ohio) and my 3-year-old graciously made a construction paper Captain's C. It's sweet, but it is an abomination. As the self appointed captain of The Captain's fan club, I should have proper threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With great power comes great responsibility. Hold -- Roy. He looks fast, so I think the leg has recovered, but he hasn't found the groove yet. Sounds pretty spot on. Buy -- Vanek without Roy. For years I thought Roy's puckhandling and shoot first tendency overshadowed Vanek. Now with better complimentary players in Pommers and Adam, Vanek seems to be shining. Hold -- Third line D of MAG and Sekera, great start to the season but do they have the consistency to play out of the inevitable slump? Sell -- RW pairs for the Leino and Roy lines. They just don't seem to be clicking. Maybe give it some time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Buy- Shooting the puck at the net. Sounded so simple last year but no one wanted to do it. The last two games, one guy shoots, the others go to the net, all but one goal has been scored below the faceoff dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 BUY - the team unity, they look like they're really playing for each other HOLD - expecting more from Leino SELL - still having some issues clearing the puck out of the zone convincingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Sell -- waiting a whole GD week for another Sabres game, especially after how good they looked the first weekend. Sell -- that "Miller is overpaid" thread. I hate myself for reading it. Buy -- the Sabres coming out sky-high on Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 BUY...The play of Adam continues to be a surprise. Not tentative like last year & his skating seems to be better. HOLD...The best defense in hockey(or one of the best)? I'll continue to take a wait and see approach on this one. SELL SELL SELL SELL...Boyes. Just not impressed. Floats a lot. Except for a few tap-in wide open net goals last year, he hasn't done squat. Another deadline acquisition that just hasn't worked out(Moore & Torres).
