Stay away from Letang and his horrible contract, that guy is 1 solid hit away from never playing again and has 4-5 more years left on his deal. No way on Letang.

The Trumps and the Kardashians have both gotten very very rich selling make believe stories.

Guys I think are playing at the level their contract justifies, off the top of my head
(Production commensurate with cap hit)
-Eichel, has really amped up his game at both ends of the rink...next year the expectations go up considerably
-Kane, the best thing is that he has more assists than goals in a high goal production year so far
-Pouloit, low cap hit but would like to see more consistency
-ROR, is on the edge so he needs to up his offensive output
-ERod, small sample size and low contract value combine to make his production thus far acceptable...however that could change very quickly since the sample size is so small...better rating would be inconclusive
-Antipin, relatively low cap hit, transition year, trending up
-McCabe, nice contract with some offensive production, trending up

I’m also ok with
-Marco Scandella, playing better after slow start, hoping for continued improved play (needed adjustment time after=injury?)
-Lehner, but needs to continue producing at current rate, and transfer that play to road games not just home games

Point is, they need a sh!t load of help...Botts should be making several trades today to get out in front of it, lol!

They were spending daddy’s money at that point, and started making their own money after she gobbled.

Why are we having him play in the NHL now? let him pay in Rochester and work on his game even more, no need for him to play here.
- SABRES 89



Middlestat will be in buffalo next year.
No reason to have guys like eichel, matthews, mcdavid play in the minors.

I went there. Casey is a stud.
Hope is on its way.

I hope he signs this year, gets a couple games in Buffalo in April and then go be the #1C in Roch for the playoffs. If he does well there, it'll be a springboard to him making the big club next year

I agree, dangle the 3 or 4 games in buffalo, rochester will be a force with him in the playoffs.

If silent sam can play in his second year, casey can play in the nhl next year.

Not trying to rush him,
Trying to build continuity with eichel
Trying to sell tickets
Trying to pick in the top 5-10
Trying to open up the offense
Trying to keep guys that need rochester seasoning in the ahl

It really wasn’t that much of a consensus, at all.

A poster here had a list he recently posted, of who everyone thought we would take from 2014.

There was a mixture of all 3. I picked Leon. In fact, more picked Leon than Bennett

- sbroads24


I don't really recall you picking Leon, I remember you picking Bennett but if you want to go back to the archives and prove me wrong go for it.

It would be fun to watch, that's for sure

They shouldn't be worried about that imo. Rushing a guy is playing Grigorenko on the first/second line while trying to make the playoffs even though he sucked, and it was clear he should have been sent back to junior after 5 games. There will be no pressure in 2 or 3 April games. Then next year, if he's good enough to make the team, he should, and if he's not ready 2 or 3 games in, just send him down.

He has the "it' factor (along with dynamic hands, skating) I said Reinhart didn't have.

Sounds about right
However, I agree with the Clown, let’s slow our roll just a bit.
While he played great and had some very nice skills in tight spaces, it was also Denmark. I loved what I saw, but in reality, that game last night was a power play for 57 minutes...let’s make further evaluations after he plays against Finlan’s D, Sweden’s deep team and Canada’s relatively no name club
