Why would you go barefoot?? That seems dangerous unless you could see through the water fine, but typically in situations like that it's not really all that clear.

Good, he should.

It still boggled my mind how many people wrote him off as in the AHL when he outperformed Eichel, who everyone (rightfully) had penciled in the opening night roster, both times the two had played head to head.

he STINKS

However...hope this means Eichel gets added to HBSL now.

I had doubts about his skating before pre season.

I know have a good reason to doubt those doubts.

Yerdon is NHL.com's reporter on the Sabres beat. His tweet seems pretty authoritative.

Sam makes the cut!

I just want Eichel to play on Thursday and then the NHL 16 patch to come out so that he is in the game. Good grief it is completely different.

I'm not a huge fan of my goalies for this week. Limited guys with 3 games and the cost is on the high side.

I currently have Anderson as one of my two. Not sure that I like that very much.

Yeah, I'm waiting for a roster update to my hockey sim game I play so I can have this team to manage. I imagine it'll be out tomorrow as it's hockey freaks doing it for the community.

And I agree with Sabres 89 Gilmore needs to shut the (frank) up I mean really poop talking Odell Beckham jr. Saying he's not Sammy Watkins what the (frank) does that mean

Kinda feel like Foligno and Larsson should be switched though.

I went with Elliott and Price - 9M total between them and only 2 games for Elliott, but against Edmonton and Minnesota, so here's hoping...

Beckham isn't Watkins. He's actually capable of not missing time due to injury it seems.

Mine are Price and Anderson. I was looking at the guys with only 2 games and a salary of 4.5 or less and didn't really see any other options that I liked any better.

I'll re-evaluate it later at home though. May make some changes overall.

McDavid is a 82.

I read online that they are goign to make Eichel an 81.


I'm kinda mad that Reinhart is only a 74 though. That seems ridiculous to me. I mean Legwand is an f'n 83 which is just as good as Girgensons, Moulson, and Ennis I think.

That's what I don't know... Maybe he is not ready.

I knew someone was missing.

Didn't OBJ miss the first 6 games last season?

I also don't remember seeing Watkins throw a punch at someone.

Or that OBJ has had his worst statistical games of his career against Gilmore...

lol was thinking the same thing. I'm sure McDavid's rating will be 97 and Eichel's will be 71.

Beckham did miss first 4 games of his career, but I do wish Watkins was injured less.

Point is Gilmore needs to shut the (frank) up saying Odell Beckham is not that great it's just stupid
he probably the second best wide receiver in the game behind Julio Jones
