Is there a particular reason you're here?

He is a garth secret agent here to troll and kill this thread. The lengths garth will go to. Kevin can't get a break.

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

Are we boycotting Garth again?

Been doing it for over a year.

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's like a public service. If these fans of other teams didn't drop in to let us know how bad we suck, we would be predicting a stanley trophy or a President's cup.

If Tropp reaches his potential, to me is a prototypical 3rd line forward.

Can pot 10-15 goals a year and will hit, fight, and just wear a guy down throughout the game, while playing a good defensive game.

Hopefully he is on the team this year.

A Tropp-Girgensons-Ott 3rd line would be a hell of a line to play against.

That would be one heck of a line.

So Girgs ceiling is third line? What a waste of a pick if that is the case.

You're suggesting his first year lineup spot is his ceiling?

Or are you just arguing for the sake of it at this point.

I wasn't suggesting anything, I was just asking the question.

I will add, that if Grigs is starting on the third line his ceiling is the 2nd. Lets celebrate.

Didn't Grigorenko start out on the third line this year? I don't remember Vanek playing in the top-6 his rookie year either. You bring them along at the pace they're ready for.
