Moulson is a proven goal scorer, JT or no JT.

Fun fact:

Moulson has 6 more goals than Hodgson...

I hope you don;t expect us to be good next year. Because we arn't going to be. They are too young to help but we arn't ready to be good anyways.

Me thinks we will be waaaaay better next year. Rebuild ends this summer.

In case you missed it and you have, I said it before I did say they wouldn't tank and Nolan wouldn't let them. I don't run from my comments if i'm wrong.

The correlation is, Karlsson plays/played on a team with pretty pitiful offensive stats, too. So, stop making excuses for Myers.

He doesn't need a white knight to come and defend his honor everytime someone has a different opinion of him than you. The cat is good, yes. He's no (frank)ing Ray Bourque, Erik Karlsson or even Rob Blake. Heck, on the other end of the spectrum, he's no Rod Langway, Ken Morrow or Mike Ramsey, either.

Again, he's good. He's not great. He's not an all-star. He's no Olympian. Physically he's getting better, but he's no intimidator out there.

He's a nice package of skill, size and reach. What makes him desirable is that package (6'8", skates like he's 5'8"), but he's not untouchable, nor should he be.

If Murray receives an offer for Myers that will improve this team, he should take it.

The Sens offense and Sabre offense should never be compared.

Bobby Ryan
Jason Spezza
Daniel Alfredsson

Those three there are better than any player the Sabres have had

Still 6 more, the whole team is bad and even if it wan't, Hodgson would still be lost.

Hope you are right. Realisically I don't see how that is possible. Too young, crappy vets arn't going to get you far.

I'm aware of this... The Sens have made the playoffs 3 times over the past 5 years. The Sabres have been the worst team in hockey over the last 3.

Not a great defence of Moulson there. I give you props for trying to defend him though.

Moulson shouldn't be in the same sentence as Hogson.

My post just wasn't all about offense.

And Vanek and Pominville were no slouches.

Seeing as he has only 6 more goals than Hodgson. For a proven goal scorer Moulson isn't doing to well is he?

You do have a point. Since Girgs 14, Ennis 13 are leading the team in goals.

As being a vet and a proven goal scorer and the top line winger on this team. Moulson should at least have more than 8 goals on the year and not be behind Drew freaking Stafford in points! And how can you blame hodgson if you are goig to use that excuse for Moulson.

Yes. So be fair. If you are going to use the "whole team is no good" excuse. Let it apply to everyone not just Moulson.
