bunomatic Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Like Miller's doing? Actually I wasn't talking about Miller. I was talking about trade partners being more interested in Enroth because of his play and the fact there's a larger sample size to draw from than Neuverth. But now that you mentioned Miller he's not doing too bad at all in Vancouver. He's had a few stinkers but for the most part he's been good.

LastPommerFan Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Backup goalies will be the death of us the backup goalie is not the reason we are outshooting them 10-5. He has nothing to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) A win tonight puts us 7 points out of 30th and only 6 points out of 8th in the East. People thinking this is just a lucky streak are in denial. We're playing way too well to finish last. Edited December 14, 2014 by Drunkard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see the first one, but that Foligno goal should have been saved. If out shooting someone 2-1 won you a game, we would still be wniless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the season, many of us said this didn't look like a 30th place team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastPommerFan Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 But he is the reason we got two weak goals. Right, I'm not concerned with the score, I'm concerned with the possession. That is the sustainable way to finish 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Panthers. They've been universally dominated in possession stats. The Panthers are improved but still not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 In the real life standings the Sabres have moved to sixth to last. Not even looking at a better than normal prospect at this point. Good group of guys but after the first 3/4 it's just guys you hope turn into stars but likely turn into 2nd/3rd liners... Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'm asking if it will be possible to trade up to #4/5. I think 3 firsts and a midlevel prospect gets it done. but would it be worth it? or would it be better to roll the dice 3 times.

I've seen a few people on this board say this but I've never seen it written anywhere else. I think this draft is special because of McDavid and Eichel. And after that it's an ordinary draft.

Like Deluca wrote, this team has strong young defense, good penalty kill, and great goaltending. Getting a top 2 pick would obviously be ideal, but we can build from there if we have to. 3 more 1st round prospects in the system will only make us better in the long run than we are now. If you have 13 first round picks over 7 years, at least 9 of which will make your roster NEXT YEAR... By shear volume we should be awesome in a couple years.

You could cut the top two and make it a decent draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button? http://sports.nationalpost.com/2014/10/21/top-prospects-connor-mcdavid-jack-eichel-making-this-a-good-year-to-be-bad-for-nhl-teams/ According to Button, the 2015 NHL Entry Draft this is the closest thing to 2003, where the first two rounds were a who’s who list of full of future Hall of Famers. In fact, had McDavid, Eichel and Hanifin been draft eligible this year, chances are all three would have been chosen ahead of last summer’s No. 1 overall pick Aaron Ekblad. “I keep going back to the ’03 draft,” said Button. “Ryan Getzlaf was the 19th pick, Corey Perry is the 28th pick, Ryan Kesler and Zach Parise were picked in the late teens. It’s unbelievable that playoff teams got these players.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
