Boasting about drinking an American beer?

Old joke, I know:

Why is American beer like making love in a canoe?

They're both fuking close to water

I have talked to a few people that don't think that this is a complete beer yet.

It's either a combination of two players like Girgensons and Pysyk, or it is somebody like Reinhart.
- kingcong39


no way those 2 or a Reinhart get dealt for Drouin.

Why on earth would any GM trade a highly drafter player, who has decent pts, and is working hard and improving quickly (Reinhart) for another highly drafted player that has done none of those things?...........that will never happen, and especially not now, if anything Drouin's value has decreased to a straight-up Girgensons type player swap.

Again people are way overstating that Drouin has bust value.

Girgensons PPG - .35
Reinhart PPG - .375
Drouin PPG - .45

I understand that people dont like him, but lets not act like he has very little chance to make it.

- ImThatGuy


Reinhart has played almost half as many games as Drouin, and you can't deny that during the past few months, Reinhart has only gotten better (2015 PPG=0.43).......meaning that by the time he hits around 90 NHL games (about as many as Drouin), he should easily have eclipsed Drouin's PPG.

You're also discounting the fact that Drouin has been surrounded by legitimate NHL talent on a team challenging for the cup while earning that PPG while Girgs and Reinhart were on by far the worst team in the league during that same time.

be careful...armia has done that in the past--play well for spurts then totally disappear
- Michael Pachla


yeah, he has a combined 11 pts between AHL/NHL this year.

I didn't like losing him at the time............but I'm over it, hasn't done much

He has, but it also has been since he played primarily with our best player in O'Reilly as well.

The truth is Reinhart and Drouin aren't far apart at all.

Correct one is supposed to be the all around good player and one is supposed to be a speedy sniper...

If the price was just Ennis and a pick he would be here. Let's face it there is almost zero percent he is a Sabre.

Unfortunately I agree. We won't get him.

Screw Drouin.
Report to the AHL, suck it up,and embarrass the team into having no choice but to call you up.
Entitled freakin brats are ruining this world. You got a job, go to work.

Now, we need Ennis to get back, perform so we can trade him (and "+") to get the LhD...then draft a gifted forward in the draft.

2-7-1 in their last 10 at home. Not a good record. Missing Girgs and skunk tonight, tough task against motown. 2-1 winged wheels. Let's hope for another good game out of Lenner.

- IonSabres


If he was bad at his job, that'd be one thing. But Imagine if you were passed over for promotion in favour of an employee who clearly wasn't performing up to standards considering his pay.

Probably also worth mentioning that his agent told him to do most of this

I just don't see any big trades other than selling off the UFA's at the deadline. Ennis can't hold much value at this point being injured and having an off year. I think the bigger question will be what they do with Moulson in the off season.

Go Sabres!!!

This is Moulson's chance to break the slump. With Reinhart out he should skate on a top line and get some more minutes. Good luck Moulson!

Thanks Ion. Lots of back pain, got a herniated and bulging disk and working with a chiropractor to get better. I'm of the opinion they should not move McGinn and make every effort to re-sign him. He is such an important part of this team.

The only thing that concerns me with McGinn is his injury history. Chronic back problems aren't good. See Horton, Nathan. Still love him though and wouldn't mind keeping him around at a friendly price!

I don't know the extent of his back surgery last year but he claimed he was 100% at camp. I do understand your thinking here. I don't think he'll get more than 3.5 per on a new contract and I would do 4 years.

Gerbe? Is that you? Did you hit your head? Do you smell eggs?
