Buffalo's Forward Group, as a whole, A Poll   

18 members have voted

  1. 1. How Do You Feel About Sabre’s Forward Group as Currently Comprised?

    • I love them, not only do they score lots of goals but they have toughness, block shots and most importantly have room to still really grow
      0
    • They are really good, very good actually, but I question their commitment to team defense but I hope that will change
      3
    • Talented group yes, but they rely on youth too much and lack mental toughness
      3
    • Bunch of individualists with no commitment to team defense. Only play hard when they feel like it
      2
    • They are just not the material you build a winning hockey program around. Their talent is overrated and commitment to winning is a joke
      2
    • I hate to be that guy, but it depends. If Norris stays healthy then I think this group can be great, but if he is hurt all the time that will leave a big hole
      4
    • They need to add another big time player
      2
    • *Consult your physician before engaging with this poll, side effects include bleeding under the finger nails and out your eye balls, periods of intense homicidal rage, followed by equally intense episodes of euphoric rapture, swelling of testicles , loss of vision and a slow horribly painful death

Outside of Tage, Tuch and JJP everyone is a big time question mark. I'd like to add another top 6 guy as Norris when healthy a good 2nd line C but still need another winger.

I’ve said it a bunch of times.  Every player in this lineup is capable of being a good, contributing player on a good playoff team.  But the roster sucks as built.  I can speculate as to what I think it might be, but honestly, I am not sure.  I just know that there is something significantly not right with this collection of good enough to be better than what they are players.

Too young?

Some good players at forward.  Very still young overall.  A lot of similar style players and most of them lack a two-way game.   They need another top 6 veteran, not sold on Norris due to health reasons but a good and healthy season from him would be a pleasant surprise.   

They need better play from the bottom 6 in the line up.   Some true shut down players.   Last off-seasons the 4th line remake was not a success.  Get a guy that will punch the lights out of people and can play 4th line minutes.

I think they are a bit overrated. Our top line is a descent scoring second. We lack a versatile top line that can adequately score and play two way hockey. 

From my perspective, minutes deserved, we have a second line, 2 third lines and a mediocre fourth line. 

This team is far from being competitive.
