Kesler and Richards are very close to being similar. Richards with less offense.

I'd still take Toews (Reinhart) over Richards/Kesler (Bennett)
- Jammerz04

Richards has 466 pts in 657 games, Kesler has 393 in 655.

Would he have a draft school show too if hockey were still on ESPN?

No, I only meant that as a facial comparison. They both always look pissed off.

Not many players can reach 90. I think it's a pretty good chance Reinhart or Bennett never will
- Cheeseballin

Reinhart will be an 80 point guy when he is fully developed with the potential of 90+ points.

Bennett IMO won't get over 60-70

Richards has 466 pts in 657 games, Kesler has 393 in 655.

PP/G I believe his higher. His injuries is why Richards points are higher IMO. Plus Kesler get's points with no wings to help him while Richards has Carter helping him out wherever he goes..

When was the last time the Sabres had a talented, fast, fiercely comeptitive, bad ass top line center, or even forward? I can't remember one. Mike Foligno, maybe? But he wasn't the prospect that Bennett is projected to be. I don't know, I'm sick of the passive, pass first shoot when I have to forwards and I see one at the top of this draft that many Sabres fans are drooling over.

Weren't we over this about.. 4 years ago

Still recovering

Richards has played in 2 more games yet has 73 more points.

The passive stuff works just as well, particulary if he's more talented but I see your point.

Still recovering

You might be, I don't know who those two are though

Good luck with those predictions.

Honestly, the Sabres organization has still never recovered from the Drury/Briere mess! Darcy should have been fired on the spot after that misjudgment.
- Irish 14

Briere should have been resigned as he still had high level of talent left but Drury basically died when he went to the Rangers. So it was a good call on letting Drury go. Briere, not so much.

That's a hell of a 2 game stretch.

A record that'll never be broke.

- Jammerz04

Just sad the players that left under Regier!

Briere needed to stay during that time, no questions ask!

Good luck with those predictions.

Thanks Buddy!!

WTF happened to Tampa? That team was done the moment they traded St. Louis.

Goaltending for Tampa!

St. Louis wanted out. Even when they lose tonight, and Callahan signs somewhere else. They still win the deal.

Well they got half the player in return.

St. Louis was a huge loss

- Jammerz04

Drury had solid first 2 seasons (25G, 58P; 22G, 56P) in NYR before he dwindled. Certainly not worth the $$ NYR paid for him, but still solid performances worthy of a 2nd line center.

Well they got half the player in return.

- sbroads24

Half the player? Wake up!

Malone's off ice issues also play a role in the lockeroom, along with losing Bishop

Half the player? Wake up!

So what you're saying is that the nothing he's been doing the past four games is just a dream?

Richards has 466 pts in 657 games, Kesler has 393 in 655.
- theblueandgold

poop guy sorry had Brad Richards on the mind. but yes u r correct.

Buff19 & sbroads

Sometimes I wonder??

Those who want Bennett over Reinhart have bigger balls than those who don't

For Goose and the ladies those who want Bennett over Reinhart have bigger breasts. Discuss.
