What part of Adam is BARELY still in the NHL is not understood here?? He has been horrible in the last 25 games.. He doesn't below in the top 2 lines right now with how well Ennis is playing Pivot..

Leino - Roy - Pominville
Vanek - Ennis - Gerbe
Boyes - Gaustad - Stafford
Adam - McCormick - Kaleta

Atleast with Vanek back it will allow Ellis to be a scratch..

He's been terrible obv. But he also produced and played well before this season. Once you do that once, you know the player is capable.

Adam does not have a single point in 21 straight games.. and in 25 games he has 1 goal 1 assist..

Send him to AHL to get some main time on the ice like they did with McNabb..

Let Kassian play the wing instead of Adam.. atleast Kassian wouldn't have punked out with Thornton taunting him all game

Lol.

gerbe can play center too , So him and ennis could switch if needed

Go for Quatro!!

I think gerbe and Ennis are little firecrackers that would have d-man and forwards chasing after them opening up lanes for Vanek to get down low and put in some rebounds or deflections..

The only problem with this line is size and physicality.. but its hard to hit a moving target.. if they keep moving they will be good

Is Zack Kassian related to Matt Kassian from the Minnesota Wild?

dont believe so

I don't think so... one is from Edmonton.. and one is from Kingsville

I can see Ennis & Gerbs speed opening up the ice for Vanek. Add in Ennis's silky mitts & that could be a dangerous line.

I think Vanek may be starting as a 4th liner when he gets back...with #1 pp time

but he wont be a scratch, Adam will.

Now granted I don't watch Ellis that closely... does he do the things that are not in the stat columns??

he is knocking down pucks.. is he hustling all over the place.. ?

I don't get Ruff's love affair with him..

I like the Buffalo Bill stuff on the new one (and fun fact: I'm a descendent of his), and also like the sword-hilt 'B' a lot. The colors are also much sharper to me.

So yeah, think i like the new one more personally.

Butt has Adam's lack of production becuase he was taken off the top six or vice versa. Our lack of scoring coincided with him being taken of the Vanek Pommer line.

i could produce on that line...take him off and he's usless, tells me more about the player than who he playing with

Has anyone else seen that Miller had changed colors on his mask and redesigned the Buffalo head in some ways...

OLD


NEW




This is actually from last night


Wherever there was yellow... is now orange..
The nose has been redesigned in the top corners..
The eye has less color surrounding it..
It says "buffalo" instead of the swords on his chin...

Improvement.

And it's not so much orange as "gold" matches the unis better.

I would agree if the whole lines production didn't fall off as well.

Vanek - Adam - Pominville did produce for the first 5-8 games of the year and the sabres were what 4-1??

But then the sabres lost like 8 of their next 12 and Adam became the scapegoat..

Insert Roy..

keep gerbe on the top line

Agreed much better
