The Dominator Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Interesting result tonight. Housley seperated Kane and Jack 5 on 5, but left them togehter on the PP. Result: PP goal by Kane, Pouliot scores on Jack's line and KO scores. I'm really hoping he keeps these lines for a few games. They just seem to make so much sense as far as the roles each player plays and how they fit together with their linemates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separately, for what it’s worth, Bogosian has improved the top four. Edited December 13, 2017 by Mick O’Manly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I’ll give them a 4th to get Marcus back. Why? He has 3-6-9 for Minnesota this year. What do you think he would have for us? I'm guess 1-2-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I will never not be happy about that trade. Sure but I kinda feel for Marcus and Tyler. Hope they find futre success against anyone not in a Sabres uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guess 1-2-3Marcus skates well, has size and a physical game. He also was part of a capable 3rd line last year and was our 2nd leading 5 on 5 scorer. These are all things our team needs and misses now that he is gone. Add him to Wilson and ERod and pur depth takes a major step forward. Fyi: His 9 pts in 29 games puts him slightly ahead of last season’s 23 pt pace. One we trade Kane we are going to need another winger or 2.

The fact that he's being a healthy scratch in a more difficult system than he's ever had makes me believe he's not smart enough to play Housley's, and we already have a ton of guys like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is completely the point of my post. We have enough guys like Foligno who can't produce, we don't need another. You really think the gap beween Marcus and Grigensons/Larsson is that big?

You really think the gap beween Marcus and Grigensons/Larsson is that big? Yes. Marcus has statistically improved every year in the NHL and has played nearly every game every season. Larsson and Z aren’t even in the same conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 When Josefson comes back they should send both Fasching and Rodrigues down. They'll benefit more from 1st line minutes in ROCH than 3rd line in BUF. Let them continue to develop on the farm in a winning environment. Ultimately I'd like to see a line of Fasching - Rodrigues - Smith... perhaps as soon as next season. Still lots of fodder to clear out of BUF.

French Collection Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Weren't Marcus and Tyler just chirping about bring in a winning organization? If you're not producing on a good club, you lose your spot. Moulson got 4 assists in the AHL last night. If he keeps that up we may get a roll of tape for him.

I’ve said this before, but I think its time is running out. He’s an offensive winger on a good team with one goal. I’ve far from written him off, but the flags are getting redder.

Tkachuk is 20 Debrincat will be 20 in 3 days Laine, Tkachuk, and Keller were all drafted before Nylander so idk what to say there. Still I am nitpicking. You are 100% correct. It is disappointing that Nylander isn't contributing in year 2 in the AHL. We can be patient I suppose but it is disappointing. More to Pi's point, the Sabres have not drafted and developed well and it shows, time and time and time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
