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

42 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
      4
    • Talented group yes, but they rely on youth too much and lack mental toughness
      13
    • Bunch of individualists with no commitment to team defense. Only play hard when they feel like it
      7
    • They are just not the material you build a winning hockey program around. Their talent is overrated and commitment to winning is a joke
      5
    • 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
      5
    • They need to add another big time player
      4
    • *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

Your options here are *****. Designed to force an answer that gives you a win. 

They will be more successful if the identify which young talent to keep and which to trade. You're so wrong on all this and we have years is proof. What, if we trade Östlund and Samuelsson for a 29yr defender we're gonna lose in round 1 and won't be good for a decade? What a fake set of choices.

We traded Savoie for McLeod, guess we're losing in round 1 instead of being good for a decade. 

Agreed.

I've said it before....  IMO their best course of action is to hire a veteran POHO who can set forth a strategic plan for the franchise.   Identifying the young talent which fits in that plan and filing in with experienced veterans either via trade or free agency.       

I don't trust KA, Terry or anybody else in the current organization to come up with a strategy or execute on a plan.   

Their current plan of "We only want players who want to be here and nobody wants to be here because palm trees and taxes" is pure loser talk.    While true to some degree, as a leader of the franchise, you can't come out and say that publicly.    The message needs to be "Our goal is to win.  Wether or not you really want to be here is irrelevant to us.   We don't care about your feelings, we're in the business of winning.   We're paying you as an employee to play the game up to our standard.   Go whine about the taxes to somebody who cares."

Buffalos forward group seem to be skilled offensively but lack any defensive awareness especially in our own end of the ice. Also our situational awareness is terrible. We still lack players who go in front of the net or that battle hard along the boards, still lack players who can throw their bodies around or drop the gloves when called for and it’s been this way all throughout Adams tenure.
