I am not a “Kane is irreplaceable guy.” I am a “we need a sniper guy”. I am not advocating that we keep Bogo or Moulson. We all know Gorges is gone at the end of the year.

There are contracts that need to be, and I believe will be, replaced with players who will inevitably make greater contributions to the team’s success.

We have close to $6M in cap space now, and the guys who haven’t been difference makers are already out of the lineup. Now we just need to get the contracts gone.

I’m not an armchair GM, don’t ask me how I propose to do that. I’m a busy executive and don’t know or care how the GM rules work.

Their impact should be negligible(relatively), if your core is doing its job.

Risto can't shut down poop or score 5v5
Reinhart can only deflect pucks on the powerplay
O'Reilly plays when it's convenient for him

That's the bigger issue imo

Other than Bogo, who I already Identified, not one of those guys paid to be a difference maker. ZERO. And you named nine.

1/9. That’s a bad, dumb post.

Agreed, but where does the idea that they are close come in. they lack a true #1 pair. thats, at the minimum, 2 very good defenders.

I wouldn't put that in the "close" category

- Sabresfan-365


You just go to NHL2018 and change the settings.
Presto! You the get
two top end D men
Two snipers
and a contributing bottom 6

It really is quite easy

That’s for a Dream team - a great lineup. With this group we are losing one goal games. We don’t need a perfect roster to win games. I don’t know if there is a single perfect roster in the league.

And I still think with more limited play Risto is a top pair guy.

because that's what they are striving for. Damage control for 60 minutes. No real attack, no real sustained pressure or risk

It's like Mr. Nice guy beating around the bush with his crush. Too afraid of rejection so we'll just play it safe for 60 minutes. If this team actually opened things up it'd be like the beginning of the year, where the defense was exposed for the pile of heaping trash that it is.

this

IMO it's more the top 9, minus jack and the top 4 d


that is why we suck


even the players with talent on those roles, are not even preforming average

- homiedclown


Sure.
But last month it was secondary scoring is killing them

It is funny here.
The point is, the whole friggin team sucks
Difference makers are not, except Jack
Bottom 6 can’t contribute
And 6 D men who are 3’s on down

But yup, they are close.

I'm a snitch and 50 year old men regress to child mentality.

I'd rather be the snitch. I do have Irish ancestry, so I guess it's in my blood.

Isn’t this unreal, considering how much of a “leader” he is supposedly.

The Sabres were conned by him
