Ellis will be in Rochester. Can't keep on burying these kids for mediocrity. Tropp, Girgs or Larsson will make the Sabres.

If Vanek or Stafford are moved, Larsson is the first call up. If both are moved, Larsson and Girgensons both make it. No way Flynn OR Tropp don't make the team. Our depth on the right side is too weak.

Girgensons

Sulzer?

Which sabres are playing in the Olympics?

USA: Ryan Miller, G
Sweden: Jhonas Enroth, G (however, I think Lehner and Fasth have good chances)

Alexander Sulzer, D
Austria: Thomas Vanek, LW

Just saw that

If Ristolainen plays in the NHL and plays half way decent, he might be able to make Finlands team. Their D is weak.

Leino shouldn't be on the fourth line. If anything I wouldn't mind swapping him and Flynn as Porter and Flynn played well together last year.

Is their seriously a gloating Avs fan here? Does he not see his defense or goaltending? He should ask EDM where that gets you

There's a few of us and we all know our defense sucks but our forwards are awesome and we are in a better spot than the sabres

It was really pathetic...

Tropp, Flynn and Porter are much better than MattEllis and goofballs like Luke Adam. Tropp I hope gets signed.

The Aves will be much better than sabres, at least free agents would sign for Sakic and Roy...all we have in buff if Darcy who is a nobody Mr Rogers.

Will be maybe. We're on opposite ends. They have young top end forward talent and pathetic defense. We have top end defensive talent and mediocre offensive prospects. They aren't that much better off than us

I would swap him with Stafford. What do we have to lose?

Yeah, sure thing there buddy.

Those are your top 13. Tropp might beat out Flynn, but I think Ellis is a lock for this team. Not because of talent, but because management loves his attitude, and this season is about building a culture for the future.
- truthbluth

It's going to be really hard to watch this team if Ellis makes the squad. Besides, isn't he captain in Rochester?

Is there a particular reason you're here?
- nfph

Because he's an Av's fan living in Buffalo....Trolling Buffalo fans. which might be one of the most pitiful existences in the world....on the same level as Gollum.
Oh, and GO KEVIN!!!! Eff-Barf!

Im not trolling. I've lived in buffalo long enough to know that some sabres fans are just so ignorant thinking that the Avs are not going to be good. It's fine if they don't know much about western conference teams but when they talk without knowing much its pretty ridiculous. A lot of sabres fans also have no clue what a high end prospect is because they haven't had one in a decade.

Yeah, sure thing there buddy.

Id rather have duchene, landeskog, o'reily, and Mackinnon than any player and the sabres and that's not because I'm biased towards my team so I don't see how you can think the sabres are in a good spot.

I never said a good spot. I'd take Crosby, Malkin, Neal and Kunitz over your 4 listed guys, But they goaltending was crap and you see how far that got them.

Vanek is the only forward on the sabres I would want. As for their defense I would take almost any of them over our dmen...

Colorado. Following Edmonton's path to nowhere.

COL was stockpiling high picks before EDM. See Duchense. Stewert

Colorado has picked in the top 5 or top 10 a combined 3 times since the lockout and top 15 four times.


Edmonton has picked in the top 10 six times over the same time frame.


Stewart was taken 18th overall in 2006. Not exactly a high 1st round pick.

They might be better, they might be, lets wait until the season starts or a couple of injuries, stocking up on talented young forwards doesn't always mean success, i.e EDMONTON
