you completely disagree yet you have 5 of the same 6 guys in our line up, just Talinder for McNabb.

I dont want Tallinder here. Now he plays and McNabb doesnt and we still dont know what we have in him. I dont get it, at all.
- Homer

Not a great comparison but that is why I want to see Myers consistently on the PP this year. Either he shows us he has it or he fails and we can let some other team give it a go with him. Don't expect offence from him if you don't put him on the #1 PP.

I'm one of those. I can't believe I re-upped but I love the game and my Sabres
- Stripes77

whats wrong with....

Myers Ehrhoff
Pysky McNabb
McBain Weber

I dont want Sulzer or Hank taking time away from any of them. The idea is to let the kids play and if we stink we stink. Sulzer and Tallinder makes no sense nor serves any purpose, IMO.
- Homer

100% agree
That's the defense lineup I had projected as well
Ugh...
Something better happen soon

McBain out. Please put McNabb in
- hafgod

Paul Hamilton seems to think McBain will be in Rochester at the start of the season. He has potential but considering how crappy he was last year, it seems likely Paul is probably right.

I disagree in the sense that your going to have 2 young guys in the top 4

I love the game. Its starting to get hard when they are trying to run the organization in the ground

No!

paul hamilton does not know the difference between a buffet and a la cart

I would not put any stock into what he says until the season starts

It's pointless. I respect your opinion on here I'm not gonna get into a typical d!ck measuring contest. Respectful posters get my respect not gonna argue with them. Pain in the butt posters that troll can kiss my butt

if mcbain is going to be in rochester because of how crappy he played then hank is going to be in the echl based on his play

no chance any player is removed from this team until after training camp

the team sucked that much

No!
- Cheeseballin

McBain is headed for rochester, he aint good.

Playing Sulzer and Tallinder is not rebuilding. Have hank retire and let him be a coach

- CaptPantalones

It doesnt have to be top 4, I would give them as many minutes as Weber/McBain....or close to it.

getting killed is fine...if you arent going to win the Cup why strive for 10th agian? I'd rather they finish last than 10th in the conference again.

I'm ok with them stinking next year, but stink with kids, not the Tallinders and Sulzers of the world.

Darcy himself just said the league is getting tougher and more physical. Then what does he do? Signs/Trades for 2 dmen that wont hurt a fly.
- Homer

I agree 100 percent

Vanek/Stafford/2014 2nd to Stl for Allen/Oshie (???)/1st......Miller/Ennis/Hoff/2014 1st (from Stl) for Mackinnon +!

Agreed. As it stands right now, Ehrhoff, Myers and Weber are in the lineup opening day. The other 3 spots and 7th D are up for grabs.

- hafgod

McNabb is worse i'm telling ya.

- BuffaloHardHat

Hey buddy. How are things treating ya

McNabb is worse i'm telling ya.
- Cheeseballin

We dont know that yet.

Disagree completely. They needed 1 more vet d-man. Pysyk or McNabb arent ready for top 4 minutes right away. Id rather they work them in gradually during the season.

start out:

Ehrhoff-Weber
Myers-Tallinder
Pysyk-McBain

Sulzer is your 7 if healthy, McNabb your 8 or 1st one up from farm. Unless he beats out Pysyk, which I could see
- CaptPantalones

U have two LH guys on your top pair,
And two RH guys on the 3rd

Darcy has talked numerous times about pairing a LH-RH guy together
Don't want Pysyk & McNabb in top4, ok

Ehrhoff-Myers
Weber-McBain
McNabb-Pysyk
Tallinder & Sulzer as depth guys... I hope

Ther u go... Leftie w righties, most talent on top pair, weber & McBain get their chance to prove they're top4 guys, and McNabb & Pysyk eased into their eventual roles on defense

This is nothing more then an insurance policy. Mcnaab regressed last year, Ruhwendel will be in the AHL, Pysyk has a chance to make the team but is probably better served by playing top 2 minutes with the Amerks. And who knows what you have with Rostilinon.

Yes they want to go with a youth movement but our young guys wont learn anything to improve their game if the puck is always going the other way and in your own net.

We dont know that yet.
- Homer

As i said he gets burned by AHL'ers. You will find out soon enough.
