Who wants him to be second line player? Teams have more than 2 lines?Perfect third line player.
- Maximum Signal

then why was he on the 4th line a lot?


serious question

if the blues go 1 and done, I would go after steen

vlasic if the sharks are one and done
- homiedclown

dont love steen but sure, Vlassic would be sweet and would make our back end the dill....................

Since pitt is better without Malkin maybe we should go grab him as well

they always do better when only one of those two are on their roster..

as much as i dont like Kessel That line has been fun to watch

then why was he on the 4th line a lot?


serious question
- homiedclown

he has played well as of late.. i just don't think he has ever done it for more than about a 20 game stretch at a time

sometimes buffalo fans fall in love with their own players and can't see the big picture!!

Reinhart has the best hockey sense on this team . Watch him without the puck . He is a rookie everything else will develop with his work ethic. Again People expecting Too much Too soon!. Has nothing to do with overvaluing . His development in one year makes me very excited for his future.

That was earlier in the year, he is still developing . We were talking how great teams develop players 3 or 4 years . Probably came up too soon. The coaching carousel here sure has not helped his development.

that's my realistic expectation


I think they need 2 guys on d, let mccabe ease into it more with 3rd pair duty and second team pp
- homiedclown

Not sure they need 2 on D, 1 will suffice. Anyway, if you do get 2, you'd be losing one to expansion next summer, which may explain actually why you need 2??

Remember when "they" said he needed time in Roch
Have a feeling he will do everything right and never get the credit

Oh Yes . Sometimes the negativity of Buffalo fans is overwhelming . It has led to me to avoid the boards and posting on said boards as much. . When you do get a scoop on inside info they all want to ridicule and doubt you as well. The views of a few here seem to be more important than anyone else at times.

if you want a cup d

vlassic, lindholm
bogo, risto
mccabe, gorges


that is a cup D


what we have with adding 1 d is a 6-8 place team in the east that may win a round

I agree


but we are at the point where we have lots of bottom half players to ice, and depth in rochester for that roll


we need high end talent now

Sure...
But do we have what it takes to trade for them?

And please don't say a combo of players with diminished trade value like Ennis, Girgs & Pysyk

What would Lindholm take? A 1st this year to start, Ennis maybe if we keep half of his salary, Guhle, and even then that's throwing scraps for a pretty good piece. Our big problem is we don't have that trade piece that we're ready to get rid of. Ennis is the best trade piece we have along with the 1st and those only get you a middle guy, not a top 2 D.

All just my opinion of course

Feel like you have to find a guy who is getting to expensive for their current team. Thats also just my opinion if we want to get these guys who are in their prime will take an awful lot to snag them
