Its still another "thing" in a list of events that have happened since his departure.




Anyhow everyone rank you're confindence in EJ Manuel on a scale of 1-10. 10 being highest. GO.

What if we let Zadarov play up all year?

It might be unfair to Risto and Pysyk but it's an idea that keeps coming to me. But I guess we really don't need to rush Zadarov or any of the youngsters for that matter.

nope. Won't happen.

Not only will Zadorov not be up here this year...
He'll be in the ahl next year as well, at least to start
He was a guy from the start that was gonna need a lot of development
Loads of talent and potential, but still pretty raw

Nope to this too. Not eligible.

I'm watching vintage games. Man can't believe how much better hockey is now. Most of the guys are soo badly out of position that they have to clutch and grab just to not get completely burned. Worst part is the ref allows it.

I think it was a 10yr deal and only 3yrs into it.
Edit: MSG and Sabres agreed to a 10yr contract in 2006.

8-8

Losing Kiko hurts, and who knows what happens with Dareus.

Defense will not be the sack machines they were last year. Would be
hard to match, anyway.

Offense, even though they averaged over 20 pts. game last year, will be better with
additions, especially Watkins. Manuel takes baby steps.

- grand-magus



I'm going with 7-9 or 6-10 again. I'd love to see 9-7 or 10-6.. but with EJ, I don't see that happening. I bet he gets hurt by the 4th week and then we get the backups.

hahahah, the headline on PHT:

Tallon loves Ekblad’s hands

"Florida Panthers GM Dale Tallon is a big fan of his first-round pick, Aaron Ekblad. He’s a very big fan of his hands. Silky mitts, you guys."

No, he can't start in the AHL. He can finish though.

NEXT year I said, which is what Fitz said originally. I believe as long as you're 20 that calendar year, you are eligible to be out of the CHL when the season starts.

Here ya go, Goose.

"There's definitely a higher level this year," said Girgensons, taken 14th in 2012. "Personally I have more of a leadership role as we have a couple guys that have been around and I have a full year [in the NHL] under my belt. It's been more about trying to lead the guys and be more of a role model."

Girgensons is someone the Sabres want to see other young players emulate. He had eight goals and 22 points in 70 games last season playing in a physical, checking role. Finding other players to be a complementary fit with the scorers is important, and that's where a couple of players acquired from other teams fit into the equation, Jordan Samuels-Thomas and Hudson Fasching.

I think 8-8 is realistic this year.... lB is a huge concern on defense.....and QB is still a question....but all an all aside from losing Byrd I think the talent level on this team is improved.... Still prolly not a playoff team....15years and counting but trending up

He has to turn 20 prior to December 31st or have 4 years of Jr under his belt. So obviously this year is out, which we all knew. So in order for him to play in the AHL next year, he's fine. He'll be 20 in April and this will be his 4th year in Jr.

I just want to make sure Cleveland doesn't get a top 5 1st round pick next year. Hell even top 10.

, Don't blame you. I'm so pissed at myself. I'm splitting seasons with a guy at work because they are 40 yard line 12 rows up. I figured its an opportunity I'll never get. I am not any bit excited to go to the games. Like zero.

As a dad who can't get out much and hates most regular tv, I would love that. The channels emblem would be burned in to my tv set. However teams like the Bandits and Bisons needs to sell tickets far more than they need to sell ads to Northtown and Geico for what would be an average audience of 2,500 people.
