Michael Pachla: Buffalo Sabres 2014-15 Team Stats--November Don't let a great November or an end of month run fool you

time to make a few moves and figure out who is going to be around when the rebuild is complete


they do not need foligno and stewart, move one
staff is gone, no sense in waiting in case he is hurt come deadline, move him asap
start fetching calls for benoit and meszaros
lock up your goalies
figure out what they want to do with mitchell moving forward
maybe move some assets away to upgrade the quality of prospects

Unless the return is astronomical, Myers stays.

Mitchell is a quality bottom 6 player. I'd sign him on a 3 year deal.

unless the return is a legit young top 6 winger that could make the top line, with a blue chip prospect there is no reason to move him

after saying that, any sabre should be moved for the right return, except maybe girgens

speed golf.

- theblueandgold

I am fine with that, so long as they move some deadweight to free up a bottom 6 spot for the future

If I am first off, w/o playing with a chatterer, it's 50-55 minutes per 9 for me

almost played 27, till I saw the group of women heading to the first tee

I dont think any team will pay that for Myers personally which is why i think he stays a sabre. Which is probably the best case anyways - i wouldnt give up on the guy at his age.

fastest I ever played 18 was at Lancaster a few years back, just under 3 hours, walking. I thought that was pretty quick considering the difficulty of the course there.

He is one of my favorites, and I would move him in a heartbeat for a legit d prospect or a 20 year old winger with potential

they only need to keep 1 of the 2 goalies moving forward IMO, neither is special, neither is bad

create a spot for the pipeline to funnel toward the big club

this course is short, 6300 from the tips and no walking between greens and tee boxes

the key is to be first off and not stuck behind the old farts that do not know which way the hole is

I would prefer they re-sign Stewart and Mitchell. This way it could allow for some of the kids to develop. We'll need some vets for the next few years, at least. Let Baptiste, Bailey and Fasching play a few years in Rochester. Sign Stewart for 3 years and Mitchell for 2.

Gotcha. I played the tips at Lancaster. I find I play faster walking as opposed to riding, for some reason.

chances the Sabres win the next 2 games ?
