Crusader1969 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Moulson is someone I expect to come back because we'll need a warm body. Please no. I think the Sabres becoming at least competitive correlates to him not being around. Even though Bogo has 0 points in his 14 games, I think he has helped stabilize the D and he should get some credit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Apology accepted. Just don’t let it happen again. Roster turnover this year is going to be dictated by what happens over the next 20-25 games. Every game is a tryout for next season. Guys like Nolan, Larsson, Girgensons, Pouliot, Wilson and Erod can all solidify a place next season by playing well for the next month or two and finding a way to contribute. The converse is also true. Other guys are gone regardless. Falk, Gorges, and Johnson come to mind. I agree there is going to be a fair bit of turnover. Botterill is going to want to mould the team to his liking, and he wouldn't have had the time, or have completed his evaluation, last summer.

DarthEbriate Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Good start to trimming that goal differential against the Wild tonight. That's another -4 in the ledger. C'mon, Sabres. Show a little backbone, will ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruppstahl Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think we should have 2 major goals: Trade almost everyone, and lose out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Goals? what are "goals"? This team plays like there's no point in doing anything. That's coaching. Phil is failing miserably. Unless they suddenly feel like competing again, then they'll be looking for a new head coach.... again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvelo Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Scoring goals, consistently competing for 60 minutes, learning how to win, eliminating mistakes from and getting clean break-outs out of the d-zone. Also send out the losers and bring on the winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade Evander and get some help in goal or defense Fire Phi, hire an experienced coach I’m pretty much here. I would give Phil one more year to figure it out. That could change if someone suddenly became available that is a significant upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Goals for the 2nd half of the season: Team goal - 41 points in last 41 games, finishing season in 2nd last place (0 points in 1 game played) but Reinhart find his game and put up 25 points in last 41 games. Back to career avg of .6pts per game. (0 points in 1 game played) Sign Mittelstadt, Borgen and Fitzgerald when college seasons ends Trade Kane for a high end prospect who will play in NHL next year and high draft pick Nylander find his place on Amerks and become a point per game producer.
