shrader Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 My point was trying to see if Darcy is actively perusing guys who were leaders either in juniors or whatever other league the previously played in. He may not be but I found it interesting how many guys we suddenly seem to have with captain experience. Not only that most of these guys are talked about as true leaders. I don't know if I am explaining this properly, sorry. It's nothing new though. He's had a ton of them over the years. But if you want to add to that list, Schaller was a captain at Providence as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hackett and Enroth will be the Goalie duo with Miller traded after the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastPommerFan Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Vanek-Hodgson-Armia Ennis-Grigorenko-Leino Foligno-Larsson-Ott Kaleta-Porter-Gerbe This lineup will lose a lot of games, but I like the mix of older Vet(Vanek/Leino) Expirience Youth (Ennis/Hodgson) and Talented Rookie (Grig/Armia) on the top two lines. This is how you'll develop these guys. I think this is an important consideration when looking at how to play the Vanek situation. Taking vanek out of the lineup before the season causes a lot of problems. In this scenario I paid Drew Stafford to take a long walk off a short pier. Tropp will hopefully come back strong an push Gerbe into the press box. Zemgus gets a chance to make Porter sit as well. Ehrhoff/Myers Sekera/Weber McCabe/McNabb That's how I'd roll the D, with the top line getting 28-30 minutes. Myers gets extra special conditioning attention all summer. I'd make offers to Pardy and Sulzer as extra defensemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Our High #1 2013 pick (Jones/MacKinnon/Drouin) makes the team too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd trade Vanek and get another vet either from a trade or FA to play top 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pysyk? I'd trade Vanek and get another vet either from a trade or FA to play top 6 Pysykxtcvq can rotate in as well. The keys are developing myers as a 30 minute guy and giving the kids a chance to play 12-15 per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more beneficial for him to go back for his junior year than to come to the NHL too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppy22 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Afair I read that McCabe will not join the Sabres... Kevin Oklobzija @kevinoDandC Wisconsin's season ended. UMass-Lowell thumped Badgers 6-1. BUT don't look for D-man Jake McCabe to be signing with #Sabres. Staying at UW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chileanseabass Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Afair I read that McCabe will not join the Sabres... Yeah, I'll see if i can find it, but after the Badgers lost in the tourney he confirmed that he'd be back. Can't remember if he said it or if it was Eaves, but it was in the local/school media.

LastPommerFan Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Where does the top 5 pick slot in? I don't think we're getting a top five pick 11 games left 8 at home. Only 2 games left against the SE, Sabres have winning records against the NE and Atlantic. I think we're going to win 7 and finish in 20th place overall.

We're not better at home than on the road and we're worse than the teams we play in the NE and Atlantic, so I'm assuming that winning record is going to regress severely ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Vanek out for the rest of the season in your world? Well no. But with everything so tight, even another game or two might make the difference in drafting 4th or 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I just saw a book cover in my thoughts. The title was "Road to the Cup" with a Sabres logo in the background. I opened it to look at the first page and first line. It read "It started on April 3, 2013". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
