Crusader1969 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) My 2016 / 17 Buffalo Sabres LW Centre RW XX Reinhart xx Moulson Girgensons Ennis Foligno Grigorenko Armia / Baptiste / Bailey Lemieux Compher Fasching Defence Risto Zadorov Myers Gorges Pysyk McCabe * Hodgson and Gionta still under contract for this season. 1) If Hanifin is drafted - He slots in for Myers who would then be traded for #1 line winger 2) If Strome, Crouse or Zacha get drafted - They move into the #1 LW spot beside Reinhart. Armia / Baptiste / Bailey battle out for #1 and #3 line wingers 4) If Marner is drafted - he slots into the #1 line RW. #1 LW must be found through trade or FA. The line-up is extremely deep and talanted but will lack experience. Edited December 29, 2014 by Crusader1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robviously Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 My 2016 / 17 Buffalo Sabres LW Centre RW XX Reinhart xx Moulson Girgensons Ennis Foligno Grigorenko Armia / Baptiste / Bailey Lemieux Compher Fasching Defence Risto Zadorov Myers Gorges Pysyk McCabe * Hodgson and Gionta still under contract for this season. 1) If Hanifin is drafted - He slots in for Myers who would then be traded for #1 line winger 2) If Strome, Crouse or Zacha get drafted - They move into the #1 LW spot beside Reinhart. Armia / Baptiste / Bailey battle out for #1 and #3 line wingers 4) If Marner is drafted - he slots into the #1 line RW. #1 LW must be found through trade or FA. The line-up is extremely deep and talanted but will lack experience. I'd put Moulson at LW with Reinhart because I'm confident he'll shoot it when Reinhart gets him the puck. Not sure who their RW would be. I'd keep Ennis with Girgensons and put Armia as their RW (if he can ever stay healthy). He seems like a nice compliment for them, especially Girgensons. I'd like to keep Deslauriers on the 3rd/Checking line. The other two guys can be any combination of Compher, Fasching, Baptiste, Bailey, Grigorenko, Lemiuex (assume a couple of these guys completely fall off the map and maybe 1 elevates his game to top 6?). If the hockey gods could do us a favor and get us another stud top 6 prospect at center (don't even need McEichel -- I'd be thrilled with Strome or even Larkin via trade), our top 3 centers would be Reinhart, ?????, and Girgensons, and we'd probably be set for the next 10 years. That'd be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Not to mention being about $20 million under the salary floor. Looked at that too: Girgensons and Risto are both RFAs due a big raise in 2016. Foligno is also a 2016 RFA Grigerenko, Psysyk are RFAs at end of this season. Will have to spend some money on a goalie and probably get a top line winger out of FA or trade for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be disappointed if that's all he became. You can move everybody up one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think Reinhart - Baptiste are currently our top prospects , followed by grigoreno, armia and larsson. Zemgus is already at the big club so he is no longer a prospect to me, allthough if all these kids meet their potential, zemgus will make one hell of a 3C or 2LW.

I would be disappointed if that's all he became. You can move everybody up one. This is why I am extremely optimistic about the Sabres - on most teams he is a 3rd line winger. In Buffalo, He could very well be 4th on the depth chart by the time all the Sabres develope. As goal scorers I think he would rank below each of Armia, Bailey and Baptiste and there is no way any of them are 4th liners (none are physical players). So if 2 of the 3 develop into NHLers and Ennis is on the team - Fasching could be part of one of the better 4th lines in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 So, when we win the lottery and get McDavid, what do people think about moving him to left wing for his rookie year and playing him with Reinhart and Gionta on a shielded second-line role? Completely different scenario: What are you thoughts about next year looking at an unconventional 3rd/4th line featuring Armia and Grigorenko with either Deslauriers or Foligno, playing them against the other team's lower lines and giving them regular minutes on the PP? I'm really struggling to come up with workable rosters that fit all our youngsters. I do think we will need to move Girgs off the first line and find him some wingers that we can utilize in a traditional shutdown role.

I'd bet on 1 of 3, but I won't go as far as picking which.

Just assume only 1/3 or 1/2 become real players, and that should make it easier. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Something like this: Moulson O'Reilly Ennis McDavid Reinhart Gionta Foligno Girgensons Hecht-type vet Deslauriers Girgorenko Armia Flynn McCormick Obviously playing fantasy hockey here, but it's Murray's job to make something that might work. Fitting them in? Just assume only 1/3 or 1/2 become real players, and that should make it easier. :) Grigorenko virtually has to be in the NHL because of waivers. mcDavid will be because McDavid. REinhart and Armia can be hidden in Rochester, but I think Murray expects Reinhart to be there and Armia looks like he's ready to make the jump, if not right away, at least by season's end.

Hoss Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 There is absolutely no reason or need to shield McDavid. He's an incredible talent. You let him play his game at center.

Please don't ###### around with him, too. Yes but I'm putting Deslauries on his wing. Nobody ###### with the franchise. I'm also signing 2 more guys to fill that role in case of injury or suspension.

Please don't ###### around with him, too. So you slide him to the number one slot and build the rest of the roster around that? Do you go with Mcdavid, Girgs, Grigs and Samson as our four centres? if not, who do you move to the wing? I'd say McDavid's skill set works better on the wing than Grigs or Samson and the other two are probably better defensively. Zemgus can play wing, but then we are left with a soft group of rookies in the middle. I'm basically thinking of Connor in the WJC Domi role. Pretty sure Stamkos and Crosby have each seen some time on the wing. Didn't hurt them much. Edited January 22, 2015 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 If we draft McDavid I would put him on a line with someone who eats puppies for fun and craps .50 cal rounds. So Nick Deslauriers I think could thrive with McDavid, and protect him from Lucic who will eagerly try to ruin our shiny new toy if Marchand doesn't beat him to it.

Pretty sure Stamkos and Crosby have each seen some time on the wing. Didn't hurt them much. I put Samson at C1 and McDavid at C2 with Grigorenko and Zemgus, 1 on each wing. I am more likely to put Zemgus with McDavid and Grigorenko with Reinhart because I think those styles will mesh together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
