You know who isn't high on that idea? ROR.

I kinda got that impression. Playing for the Sabres isn't = team Canada.

He'd prolly tell us to go (frank) ourselves.

I'd rather move ROR for a winger and move his salary

Paying $7.5 million for a winger that isn't a 30 goal scorer makes me cringe.

If he was a true leader he would do what the team needs him to do...

I think we know the end of this story..... See Colorado Avalanche Wikipedia for reference.

Pach, I know this didn't happen this year, but any article about McCabe needs this video:

To that end...can we all agree that we are running Botts out of town if he doesn't draft Dahlin?

I have always liked McCabe, but was hoping Housley could have extracted much more from him this past season.

Maybe it comes in year two of the Housley era...especially if McCabe was playing hurt. A bum shoulder affects a player’s ability to play the way they want.

There were similar feelings about Foligno several years ago when he was playing with an injured shoulder, as was McCabe. After Foligno had surgery, his level of play improved significantly, especially his physicality which made him more effective.

Hopefully we see that with Jake next season.

he has missed 35 games in the last 2 years

does that concern you?

- homiedclown


He played 77 and 76 games prior to this season.

No, I'm not concerned at all. He got injured and needed surgery this season.

Isn't Eichel much more of an injury concern with how long he's been out each of the past 2 years?

LHD's on the roster, or in system
Dahlin
McCabe
Guhle
Scandella
Pilut
Bryson
Stephens
Bud!ck
Chukarov
Martin

plus whoever we draft

Scandella or McCabe will be moved in the next 15 months IMO

- homiedclown


Scandella would be traded 98 times out of 100 over McCabe. The reports of McCabe's 'bad' play this past season are greatly exaggerated.

Hmmmm.
Based solely or reading a couple of scouting reports and listening to the interview of his coach on WGR...I have been thinking Dahlin seems to have the drive and temperament I value in a Captain.
That said, maybe he could be “the Messier” to Jack.
