LGR4GM Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Guhle was never close to making this team last year. I really like him and I am excited for him to continue to grow but a 18yr old 2nd round underweight defender is not making an NHL roster. Preseason he looked like he could skate at an NHL level, which helped him in a lot of ways. His skating is great but he still has some developing to do. Good teams, allow players like him to play out junior seasons and to develop properly in the AHL before putting him in full time NHL action. This board is dazzled by skating for sure. Sam Reinhart will need the AHL but Brendan Guhle won't, that was the sentiment last summer. We need to step back and look at this logically. Guhle isn't at NHL speed and it is one of the reasons Phaneuf was able to eat him. Let him develop proper and we could have a really great offensive defender in a 3-4 years.

North Buffalo Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Interesting article about NE draft prospects despite my hatred of espn http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/high-school/post/_/id/41705/former-mc-star-matt-filipe-tops-locals-in-final-nhl-central-scouting-rankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Guhle was never close to making this team last year.While your use of this is correct, it reminds me about something. Can we get sports talk hosts to use proper terminology where referencing this season, last season, next season as well as this year, last year or next year? As far as I'm concerned, "year" and sports shouldn't be comingled. It's season because many of these sports transition from one year to the next during the season. Also, as soon as your season ends, it's the offseason. The next time your team plays it's next season, not next year. In the same vein, if you are talking about what happened during the 2015-2016 Buffalo Sabres on April 13th 2016, it's still this season. It doesn't become last season at least until the draft or Stanley Cup is awarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After continually watching guys like Franson, Gorges, and Weber plod around the ice, it was refreshing to see somebody with foot speed and quickness. Guhle is a very good skater, however he still needs to learn how to defend at the pro-level, as does Nelson. I see at least 1 full year of seasoning in Rochester for both of them.

Not sure that Nelson doesnt learn with the big club based what he showed last 9 games. Training camp may reveal more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresBillsFan Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I would be more than please if we can land a lottery pick in the top 3 but if we don't then the best defenseman available. I would really love Murray to go all in on Vesey and Cagguila. But in all honesty it's only fitting that Buffalo lands in the top 3 for losing the last two lotteries.

Norcal Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Haven't watched any full games but in the highlights it seems like Clayton Keller is all over the place, scoring or setting up his linemates. The guy looks legit, albeit the level of competition may be lacking even though it is an international tournament. The US has just dominated their competition so far. Where is Keller in the draft discussion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is Keller in the draft discussion? Most have him like 12-17. Somewhere in that range. He has a lot of talent for sure.

Randall Flagg Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I read that Laine is 4 goals away from having the most ever in a single Liiga playoff. 2 games to do it if Tappara wins on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruppstahl Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Will the Sabres win the lottery for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd? I just played the simulator about 30 times. Got the Sabres winning #1 overall once, second a bunch of times, but most resulted in nothing and us pushing back to 9th overall selection. I have a weird feeling we are going to win one of the top 3 spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking the top three, would be a coo, especially with how productive our season was! It would be completely hilarious if it meant winning more before we won the lottery. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
