Will Andrew Ladd "lead" them to score 2x as much as they do now?
Leadership is over rated. It's what teams with no talent talk about.

He led his current teammates into getting a coach fired . Not so sold on leadership skills at this point as well.

I sure as hell hope so!!!!
I really think they will resign Miller, and possibly Moulson as well.
Ott could be traded.

- Sabresfan88



If Moulson is really looking for $6 mill per yr (which, like Pommer, is what 30g scorers seem to get)... I think he could be traded at the deadline.

LoL... Coming from the guy who think Myers is still the second coming of Chris Pronger???

My vote is the former.

A number of us are quite impressed with the progression of Myer's play as of late. I think that includes Ted Nolan and Tim Murray from statements they have made.

Tell us then... In your opinion, who is the best "captain/leader" in the NHL?

Jonathon Toews would be my first choice.

Who cares about leadership? We have no talent up front.
If the Sabres are going to move Myers+ Grigorenko who are literally he 2 most talented players with the biggest upsides in the organization, it better be for Alex Ovechkin

Progression as compared to what? When he had the worst +/- in the league early in the year? Hard to play much worse.


How has he progressed from his rookie yr?

Now Put Towes on the Sabres. Do you think he would lead us to the playoffs?

This and maybe not even this. Myers is making plays . Like that assist to MFE the other night. Not just any defense men makes that play. And I love OVI ! And I still think Grigorenko is going to be a stud with the right coaching.

The way I see it, if we are going to attract other free agents, we have to retain some decent players.
If we get rid of Miller, Ott and Moulson, this rebuild is going to take 3-5 years!!

Well, by the same logic your using with Ladd, Towes must not be much of a leader then huh?


Hockey is a team sport. One guy can't do it all by himself.

Now you are being silly ! Winnipeg has a lot more talent on that roster than Buffalo has.

Bottom line is that this roster has to be improved!
However that action needs to be done, let's do it.

It's pro sports man. Coaches get fired all the time (unless Darcy Regire is the GM).



Aside form Ladd, E. Kane, Byflugien, and Enstrom... Wpg has nothing.


It can easily be argued that (last years Sabre core) of Miller, Vanek, Pominville, & Erhoff is more talented.

(You can even put Myers into that mix if you believe he is the trade equivilant to Ladd.)
