Bills land Mitch Trubisky in latest Draft Wire 2017 NFL mock draft


I doubt it but it sounds good.

Lynn now may be back as OC for the Bills under McDermott, McCoy may be offered OC in Denver which is obviously a much better situation.

McDermott hasn't even been hired yet. Any OC or DC candidate is just pure speculation until he is.

Kulikov -10 in only 20gp
Franson +3 in 37gp

- Sabres1523


it's a small sample size to judge a player on a new team, but I think Kulikov and Bogo are similar enough that one of them won't be back next year.

Despite his shortcomings, Fedun is more valuable on this particular team because with the exception of the top pair, we don't have enough puck moving D men. I hope we address this in FA in addition to bringing in Guhle

Kane is a tough call for two reasons: he has a $5Mill cap hit, and he has this aura of expectation.

I really like what he has done this season, in terms of his play on the ice, and in terms of staying out of the news unrelated to hockey. But it isn't "sniper" quality play, and we get about 2/3 that production from Foligno for half the money.

- Der Kaiser



Agreed. Best case scenario is that Kane's trade value goes up.

He is most likely going first overall

But damn he's probably the most accurate quarterback I have ever seen in college crazy

Grant needed to produce anything. 6 points in his career that includes 75 games.
He's just not good enough

- ImThatGuy


Offensively producing, yes, but Nashville, who loved Gaustad, disagrees. The Sabres won't miss him until they have injuries and need to win a faceoff, lose a PKer or two so not a huge deal but the flack he received on here was, I think, over the top and Nashville claiming him might show we can all keep our day jobs and not become scouts or NHL GMS.

Are you a little surprised that he's going to take the job how dysfunctional this organization is?

Rob Ray needs to stop saying "acrosst". Discuss:

p.s. maybe a few hundred less "opportunities" too...

The PK was 30th with him. girgs is fine on faceoffs. It's simply unacceptable in this day and age to waste a roster spot on a guy who cannot score a goal. I for one will never miss him and his inspired, Matt Ellis type performance. May we never have such a bland player on the team again

I would hope so.

It also leaves the door open to trading for a D man that needs to be protected. If that opportunity arises

- sbroads24


You have to think the Wild would be the main target for that, along with the Ducks and Predators as well?

Wild have said they would rather contend for the cup with this D-corps (and lose one to expansion draft) then break them up just for the sake of expansion protection.

there are only 32 jobs as a head coach in the nfl


I think the panthers can their coach next season and he would have stepped in, but given his age it's probably worth the gamble on his end

usually they get 2 chances to make it as a head coach, unless your a bills coach that quits

10 goals in 17 games. Not sure it will be any higher than it is now.

How many times did Jack miss a no-brainer from reinhart last night?

Outscoring, yes. Outplaying, no.

From Sabres.com-Nilsson improved his record at home this season to 5-1-1 with a .947 save percentage and a 1.84 goals-against average. He improved to 7-3-4 on the season with the win, and now ranks fifth in the NHL with a .930 save percentage.
Not looking so bad as back up now...

- Sabres1523


I swear that last night during the game they said he was 5-0-1 with a .953 save % so I assumed he's now 6-0-1 with an even higher sp. Of course I could be wrong.
