The Sabres will win a cup before 2020 and Zemgus will be wearing an A when it happens. You reid it here first ladies and germs.

Man you guys should see teh sick burn the sens fan got me with.

He said "I got the joke, you're a Sabres fan"
- ImThatGuy

He must be Guy LeDeuche

Lucic or Zemgus? Playing in the USHL, that's a bit unfair to ask. He's played in three leagues in three years.

If you mean Lucic, I beg to differ.
- TheSabresTaco

Seeing as hes made it in the NHL he should have better numbers in the USHL

Seeing as hes not put up 60 at any level I ll side with him not getting 60. Trust me I want to be wrong, but unfortunetly this falls in the 10% of things I get right
- hubie

Sure I may be optimistic..but his ability to adapt and play is way ahead of his scoring ability. Once that catches up, with another couple years in the league, I'll put money on him being able to at the very least eclipse 50.

He sees 2nd line minutes. Because he was demoted.
- TheSabresTaco

His career TOI is higher than Thomas Vanek's

He's a top 6 player that scores like a "3rd liner" that's my point.

There is no set point totals you have to achieve to be a top 6 player

Lets day eh gets 60 points in 2 years is this because

A) his game has risen and he has made players around him bettter
or
B) We have put better players around him and casuse of them his number are better?

I'm of the side that he makes players around him better in the sense that they work harder and typically working hard is more often rewarded than not working as hard..in a hockey game.

Of course that's just an opinion and we'll have to derive an opinion once he has fully developed.

Also, option B better (frank)ing happen.

True statement taken in the right context, but that's a different discussion.

I think in a few years, DBrown will be a Zemgus light. As of right now, and I'm not sure if you meant for the time being or his projected full development, he's DBrown light. Sorry to get way too detailed here, just keeping up a discussion.

It will as soon as we figure out how to clone MFE.

I think we're debating the semantics of the overall point instead of just the overall point which we agree on

Not new that you need a franchise Center in order to be a very good team. At leaset our Captain is a Center, we got that 1/2 right. Cody will be the C next year once Ott is traded.

I care very little if they are effort or blue collar guys. I care about if they can score and have talent.

And I really dont care how tall they are. Some people think its very important.
