If we are trading for Derek Grant lmao such a tank move

Why?
- washedup20

it's a joke

I'm not sure how to respond to any of that. Idk what Varada and Stuuu have to do with ROR, and i fundamentally disagree with the premise of your 3rd paragraph
- jcragcrumple

so ROR has exceeded your expectations?


serious question

I'd move up on Jack's wing
- homiedclown

So you’ve got E Rod taking all our defensive zone draws then?
That seems like a bad idea to me

If he can handle it though, great!

I think they need to get ROR going


right now, assuming we lose Kane he is our second best scorer, get him scoring

I am expecting him to be the best he can be every time he steps on the ice


he is not
- homiedclown

Reasons:
1) played in a mostly defensive role
2) played too much (yeah, guys get tired)
3) mediocre linemates
4) little defenseman support

Which of those aren’t true?

No, he's matched my expectations given situational usage and linemates

Absolutely. That was a big miss and I thought it was (for once I was right) at the time. Still, in the 2014 draft, should we have skipped over Sam, Sam, and Leon to get Haydn Fleury? Not sure Fleury would have ever brought back a Drouin type player and the reason Sergachev did is because he was excelling.

You are right though in that defenders do seem to be more valuable at every stage of development. I'm torn. Hope they get a defender, just still hope they don't force it.

I don’t want us taking a defenseman just bc
There should be multiple good options for us in the top10

And if we don’t take a defenseman,
Botts better have a plan
Bc we are in some trouble otherwise

- homiedclown

For what purpose though?
I think I’d rather keep guys in the roles we want them to excel in

I do get what you’re saying...
O’Reilly AND Jack BOTH need to be better
But getting them some legit help could also make quite a difference

So if there's an opportunity to play him with potentially good wingers (Smith and Baptiste) why wouldn't you want to try that. It would probably make him better, and make them better

Jcrag-

I think your mis sing the point of the 2016-17 sabres season:

Keep players in rochester to learn, get experience and win.

Sabres are trying to get a high draft pick. Once that is locked up, they will bring in the rochester guys and take a look at them.

To keep it simple #stealthtank.

I agree, my comment was just saying if they do decide to bring up smith or baptiste, please play them with Eichel or ROR. Not bottom 6

This might sound crazy...

But I want us to win the lotto MORE this year, than I did the McEichel year

We really need Dahlin

not really we are sucking just as bad now as then
- homiedclown

By this logic, it doesn't matter that the Oilers got McDavid, because they're still not good. Of course it matters that we got Eichel instead of Strome

Apparently taking selfies is a disease haha ok We’re just Photogenic

It is, it's called narcissism.

Pedophiles love parents that overshare their kids online. They invest time into those children so when they grow up and start taking selfies, the collection is terabytes!
