Damn I forgot lighting up the AHL translates to NHL success. Thats probably why the league is lighting up the lines trying to pry this stud out of rochester.

Cody is slow send him down. Tank for McDavid because the draft is literally structured to allow teams to lose out and guarantee themselves a number one pick..oh wait no? Thats not how it works.

Screw this season and any rebuilding. Connor McDavid is the be all end all for this team.

No Connor McJesus=no cup for Tyler Myers to drink out of in his new mc-mansion in North Buffalo so he can show up to camp out of shape again. But its ok he's getting better. After he learns how to show up prepared Rolston is going to show him how to use the new velcro straps the team got for his skates.

"Best skating defensemen since Coffey and Orr"....yea take that in

Yea he was. I don't think his talent dissapeared though. Not saying he for sure will be a good NHL'er or anything but his career isnt over like I thought it was last year
- sbroads24

No I don't think he has lost talent. He had lost confidence (thanks to ruff and his situation). I just don't think his talent will ever transfer over well to the NHL. For his same I hope I am wrong

If Darcy was smart, he'd bring him up. have RR put him on the first line wing, hope he puts up some numbers and fleece a desperate GM for him in trade...

Yea I thought he was done last season. He was mad that they wanted him to play wing after starting so well in the NHL at center I bet. He seems different this season even in Rochester.

Why not? He should see some games. So should McNabb

Well, we obviously don't want to win, so we would have to trade him away before he "saves the team."



....and of course, McNabb traded loyalty to the Sabres to work on the farm this summer, so Darcy pouts at him in the hallway when he sees him.

Do we have to suck for that long? He's not eligible until 2016. I was hoping that would be our comeback season.

Nobody is saving us this season. Not even Crosby. I hope for our sake we get to see some of Armia, McNabb, and Adam before years end

I'm just saying that Connor McDavid is not the end all be all of this teams success. The team that drafted Crosby has won the cup once since he was drafted so obviously you can tank and draft high in other years and still build a successful team.

Bet those two get the call sooner or later. I'm guessing Armia stays the full year.

Being sarcastic. If I were a betting man, I think we'll see more of the kids once the tanked season is in the bag....we may even see actual coaching too!

I went to the last game he played at St Catherines , November 2 . That kid is impressive . They smoked the Ice Dogs 6 - 0 . He had two assists

- Sabresfan-365

I said before the season that I thought Armia could use 1 season in Roch to get used to North America. After that, I think he'll be ready to be a top-6 within 2 years.

Yep. just top level talent. As much of it as you can get. You're bound to really hit on one

Would anyone be against trading Luke Adam to the Laffs.....

@DarrenDreger 15m
Surprise to know one, the Maple Leafs are in the market for a forward, preferably a centre. Not a lot available right now.
- evatnorth

I'd like to see him get a shot up here
Leino should be hurt again soon
McCormick & Scott are fairly useless IMO

Only way we see that is if RR takes a vacation mid season. Anyone have ties with a travel agency ?

Good chance Scott gets waived too. Bettman has Darcy's ball under his thumb.

Chad Ruhwedel and Brayden McNabb are both RFAs this year. Assuming we don't trade one of them, we qualify both of them, and they are competing for 1 roster spot, who gets it?

I think 2015 is when we start to challenge for playoffs again, and then 2016 I think we'll really start to contend...
Assuming Enroty or another goalie pans out

I say Mcnabb. weedle seems just average. Mcnabb seems to have more upside.

Agreed Jd. this isn't gonna be a long Leafs or Oil rebuild.

as with any team. Miller has sucked pucks like every other goalie.Who cares if you GAA is high if you can't win games.
