Doohickie Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) ERod puts in an honest day's work, but I wish we had a real 2C and Mojo was our "Swiss Army Knife" player instead of Rodrigues. The Sabres are still lacking in forward depth. Edited November 13, 2019 by Doohickie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably need to move at least two players if they want to carry Gilmour as a 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Honestly. Was this scenario not mapped out on their boards over the summer? Was Botterill hoping RK could increase the cache of one or two of our D to make a trade irresistible by the rest of the league? Even by adding one good forward, this team still can't afford to hover just below .500 through January. It'll be tenuous all the way through April.

That's a lotta defensemen... You'd have to imagine Bogosian eventually gets a rehab stint. Short of a trade, Gilmour's a virtual guarantee to be waived shortly. It doesn't sound like Johansson is an IR situation, so they don't have any roster spots for all of these bodies. If Scandella is in fact active, they're maxed out with the 2 spare D and Johansson up front. They needs as much time as they can from Bogosian to sort this out.

Doohickie Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I wonder if this could actually hurt JBot's trade prospects: If other GMs feel like his hand is getting forced, they might reduce their offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure doesn't look like Bogo is going to give them any time if he's subbing in on regular D pairings in practice on day one. I don't think they want to expose Gilmour to waivers. So you gotta think Scandella is trade bait if he's healthy, and then one of either Risto or McCabe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 When I look at how ungodly terrible that forward group looks when it's missing just one player, a player that's probably only the 4th best forward, and the list of defensemen who have to SIT when we take only six of them... What the actual ***** are you doing Jason make a trade for the love of god 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Bold prediction: Mountour will play RW tomorrow in place of Lazar. D pairs will be McCabe-Ristolainen Dahlin-Miller Scandella-Jokiharju Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who sits now? Jokiharju, Risto, Montour, Miller are all healthy. This garbage line I hear from WGR and from the National guys about Buffalo waiting to trade because of defensive depth is absurd. We don't have room now for everyone let alone when we have 5 NHL RHD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freester Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Bogo and Scandella will be traded soon for draft picks. Hopefully 2nd round pick for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure Scandella gets traded. When he went out the PK seemed to be giving up a lot of goals. Interesting that it seems Scandella is back in with Miller the odd man out.

Probably, but I can't help but notice how quickly things have gone south without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
