I don't know if we're going to make the playoffs but I'm betting on a much more exciting team then we've seen the past 5+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Housley - Will be watching film on all our players as we move forward through the summer. (Indicated the priority is now on getting the coaching staff set up) Sounds like Soupy Campbell will be on the instigators at 1130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Soupy come back on a 1 year deal, and would you have him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Interesting. Would Soupy come back on a 1 year deal, and would you have him? Sure. Not sure how much he has left but I think that style is a better fit then Georges. If it pushes Georges to 7th man then sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Interesting. Would Soupy come back on a 1 year deal, and would you have him?It's not like we're in a position to turn up our nose at any defensemen right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 My guess was Gionta when they were being all mysterious :lol: My guess was Vanek. No way they have Gionta on the show 2 days before FA when it doesn't sound like he's coming back this year, or rather, we've heard no indication that JBOTs wants to bring him back.

LGR4GM Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Housley on WGR550 http://www.wgr550.com/articles/news/sabres-coach-closing-his-staff Housley talks about player movement and causing confusion for the opposing team, one thing I hated about Bylsma's system was how freaking predictable it was. Easy to follow because it was very scripted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yea let's get a guy who isn't fast to slow jack down... great plan, love it.It's a misconception that fast players MUST play with other fast players. Eichel needs somebody to find the gaps in the defense and finish. That's Vanek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Guy Lafluer played with Steve Shutt, Pat Lafontaine played with Dave Andreychuk, Jack Eichel played with Sam Reinhart. You don't have to have fast feet to play with a fast centre, as long as you can read the play and have quick hands. If Moulson and Ennis weren't here taking up space, I'd be all over with Vanek and Eichel with a speedier guy on the right side. Vanek Eichel O'Reilly Okposo Kane Reinhart Foligno Larsson that's the basis for rolling four lines Edited June 29, 2017 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'd rather get Vrbata then Vanek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Which space maker would be best for a Vanek-Eichel combo, probably Zemgus?Phil would just have to make sure he utilizes them properly, ie, never in the d-zone I'd rather get Vrbata then Vanek. I can't say I'm calling for Vanek to be signed but I definitely don't want Radim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Actually, I was confusing Vrbata's production the last two years with Loui Eriksson - like, falling off a cliff. His numbers don't look bad though. Maybe I wouldn't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
