They will roll 4 lines but the top 3 are gonna get the bulk of the icetime, Ruff himself has said so, the 4th line will serve its normal purpose.
- sabresfandan

then Ruff has lost touch with the modern NHL

what are your thoughts on Miller then
- homiedclown

I think this is a big year for Miller, I'd personally rather put his kinda money into a stud forward but I think Miller has to play well this year, I think its make or break here for Ryan.

I didn't say that I said Scott can help this team by having that type of enforcers presense, other teams notice that.
- sabresfandan

"Nah McCormick is a waste he loses all his fights"


Cause you have to win your fights to not be a waste.

Cody can play the game of hockey.

Scott is a waste of cap and roster space.

I said that from day one.

Not me, Scott is there to protect his teammates they don't need his hockey talent. People whine and complain that the team isn't tough enough and then we sign one of the toughest players in the NHL when it comes to fighting and your saying you'd rather have Matt Ellis in the lineup
- sabresfandan

Exactly Dan.

No Darcy wasted 600k so Scott can just do nothing for this team.

I really wonder sometimes.

Well we disagree buddy, I think McCormick is a joke, Tropp is a better player than Cody is.

It's not just bad today. It's pretty much unbearable. I don't know that I've ever seen it this bad for this long.


I'm certainly glad that I'm not paying for this crap though.

Scott is a goon plain and simple and in today's NHL there is no place for goons. He will hurt this team more than help it. Far to many fans have a boner for a guy that has no business being in the NHL. Ott is tough, can score goals, play the pp, and on th pk. Those type of players are what wins games, not John Scott. If he plays more than 10 games not do to injuries I question Lindy's desire to win a cup.
- dadeadhead

Yea you keep believeing what you just typed.

Scott WILL dress for certain opponets and I cant believe anyone here is that naive to think otherwise.

Exactly Dan.

- BuffaloHardHat

So do I man some people make ya wonder don't they? LOL

do the Falcons choke soon?

Well we disagree buddy, I think McCormick is a joke, Tropp is a better player than Cody is.
- sabresfandan

Dan you and I agree a ton of poop.

I think Cody is the waste of spot as well.

And I also cant wait for Tropp to come back.

Tropp is a better player than Cody is.
- sabresfandan

that had nothing to do with the conversation though

Again from what I seen during practices, the man skated fairly well and I wouldnt say he has 0 hockey talent. Yeesh .
- BuffaloHardHat

He's slow, always out of position, will always go for the big hit which will result in the puck in the back of the net, takes stupid penalties, has zero hockey knowledge, and is a goon.

In the modern NHL there is no room for players like him.

John Scott is there for exact instances like what happened in Boston I disagree with you again yes you do need players like Scott it doesn't hurt to have him on the 4th line and the top 3 lines are going to get more ice time in a shortened season also.
- sabresfandan

This.

Are you some type of hockey guru?

Scott was brought here for a reason.

Deal with it.

Yea you keep believeing what you just typed.

- BuffaloHardHat

In a perfect world the 4th line is tropp, mcmuscle, kaleta

reality is the line will be scott, hecht, kaleta

once hecht and kaleta get their concussions by week 3 the line will be scott, adam and mancari and the team will be 7 points out of the playoffs

Yea you keep believeing what you just typed.

I love these conversation.

Let the name calling begin.

- sabresfandan

i would rather have a guy that can hit, score and fight etc ..

like a brenden morrow


not a fan of goons

This.
- BuffaloHardHat

Couldn't agree more, how does John Scott hurt your team playing on the 4th line lol, I'll take Scott in his role and knowing my teammates are protected over a guy like Ellis anyday! Also love the element Ott will bring to this team too!

McCormick is way overpaid at 1.2, we already have players that can do what he does for less.
- sabresfandan

Agreed again. I want Mccormick gone in the worst way.

Talk about the waste of a roster spot.

Losing all his fights and cant score. Wonderful, lets fill our teams with Mccormicks.

my perfect 4th line


Drew Miller, Zenon Konopka and Tropp

Are you some type of hockey guru?

Scott was brought here for a reason.

Deal with it.
- BuffaloHardHat

I sleep 3hrs a night and watch more hockey in one season than most do in 10. I pride myself in having a scouting report on most players in the NHL for the sole reason that you never know when a player will be on the team you root for.

So to answer your question and many on here would agree, yes.

Deal with it.

my perfect 4th line


Drew Miller, Zenon Konopka and Tropp
- homiedclown

Agree there Homie I like Drew Miller a lot as a role player.

Are you that ignorant to believe that Lucic would have run Miller if a man like Scott was on the team?

I dont think you are.

Just the thought of having to answer to Scott is worth the 600k but you just dont get it.

I love these conversation.

Let the name calling begin.
- dadeadhead

Nah not calling names .

Clearly we are both passionate with our stance which makes for good conversation

DD does always think he's right that is very annoying but other people eat,sleep,breathe hockey also! I grew up playing and have been around it my whole life! There's more than just you DD that's all I'm saying.
