I take the over unless he's been told to only make a few moves nothing serious because he may not be here going forward.
- sabresfandan

I think 4 or more players easily are going to be moved.
Between the Sabres roster and Rochester etc. I would say over 4 for sure will be moved at or prior to 3pm Wednesday.

With the new alignment and how difficult it will be I'll be happy if they make the playoffs in 5 years.

New playoff format is bogus

It won't be easy thats for sure.

You haven't rebuilt once in the past 10 years
- Gunner Staal

correct when have we rebuilt? never

really .. what would you call it.. Rebuilding does not have to mean blowing it up and starting over.
- JoeSabre

I would call rebuilding making changes to key personnel and giving it a few seasons to see if those changes pan out.

We lost some key players through free agency. We have dabbled in prospects and changing role players. Every year they have expected to be a playoff team, and either were one, or contended for a spot. We haven't rebuilt in a while. Darcy has only "tweaked"

I'm really hoping for that
6 would be a good start.

Rebuild means you have a new core group of players. Is that the case in Buffalo?
- Gunner Staal

gee i seem to remember ....Briere, Drury....then Roy, Gastand,

who are you worried of?

07-08 .915
06-07 .928
05-06 .919

don't forget, he's only looking at 5-on-5
- keptupl8

I'm going thru it now.

Using total avg sv% (above the avg number given per year) vs 5 on 5 sv%.

I've gotten through the last 3 season thus far, there is an avg of 18 goalies per year that do it(only goalies that have 41 or more gp).

Let me know what you want posted from the list. keep in mind guys like Niemi have done it every year he has been a starter but has only been a full time starter for 3 years.

- JoeSabre

Who did they add when Briere and Drury left? Next man up is not rebuilding.

Spin it whichever way you want, results speak for themselves and will continue to unless significant changes are made.

That change should start with the guy responsible for making these important roster decisions.

I'm good if you save yourself the time and leave it alone (I couldn't do that, just saying). Instead of save % lets measure success in wins and cups... Definitely not above average anymore, right?

We replaced those players with youngsters from the AHL and figured they MIGHT work. the next season they hoped again , and the next and the next.

that we agree on... rebuild the front office first and let someone else make these decisions .. you cannot trust Darcy....

Kid must have had a great 3 days of practice leading up to tonights game. He has been skating in general for a while from what I heard.
