TrueBlueGED Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'd like Vermette here as a depth addition. Hope we're one of the teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'd like Vermette here as a depth addition. Hope we're one of the teams. We have good enough third and fourth centers. No need to spend a penny on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 We have good enough third and fourth centers. No need to spend a penny on him.Agreed, I don't want to go near him. We have enough vets for the whole character aspect, leave that roster spot open for one of the youngins so we don't end up like TB and have every single ElC burn out in the same year Who is our 4th center?Larsson if Vesey signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Who is our 4th center? Are you kidding? The Sabs have three starting-caliber centers under the age of 25, FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabs have three starting-caliber centers under the age of 25, FFS. Reinhart is a RW. *ducks* (He will be, whether you like it or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Buffalo Sabres centers... ROR, Eichel, Reinhart Larsson, Girgensons, Cal O'Reilly... I am feel confident one of them can play 4th line center in the NHL. If not sign Legwand to 1 more year. Don't go chasing Vermette for more money than he's worth.

LGR4GM Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Vermette is better than either of Legwand/COR. And how much does he cost for how many years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 And how much does he cost for how many years? 1 year $3 mil? I think he'll be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 For the foreseeable future or for next year? A roster spot that should go to someone else Not sure. I think a lot depends on how Bailey/Fasching develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Not sure. I think a lot depends on how Bailey/Fasching develop. Don't forget Nylander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Don't forget Nylander. He could play LW too. We're not exactly stacked there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Not sure. I think a lot depends on how Bailey/Fasching develop.Really? I would think it more depends on if he ends up better than ROR.He could play LW too. We're not exactly stacked there either.Don't worry, we'll be getting better this week ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 He could play LW too. We're not exactly stacked there either. That is exactly why moving Reinhart to center at some point makes sense. ROR - Reinhart - Okposo LW (Nylander, Kane, Ennis, Zemgus, Vesey) - Eichel - Bailey/Baptiste/Fasching/Nylander Foligno - Larsson - Bailey/Baptiste/Fasching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Really? I would think it more depends on if he ends up better than ROR. Thing is, how will we ever know? Can you envision a scenario where (sans ROR injury), he gets any real time at center to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen how DB does lines? I am surprised Lehner hasn't played Center at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Have you seen how DB does lines? I am surprised Lehner hasn't played Center at this point. And through all of it, there were two stalwarts: ROR and Eichel in the middle. Even during ROR's injury, Reinhart got what, two games in the middle?

LGR4GM Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 And Samson was what 25 games into his NHL career at that point. I think this year the go to backup for ROR will be Reinhart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
