it would be really poopty and unexpected of Botts not to bring in wing help. Trade or FA.

We need so much help but he really needs to Focus on bringing in wingers that are fast and are goal scores

wasnt baptiste's best games (pointwise) when he was playing with Eichel
- IndianaSabresFan


He never played with Eichel this year for some unknown reason. Even with 10 games left, Pommer was still there. He played well with Eichel in the spring of '17 for like 5 games

I loved watching us run and gun back in the day I’m happy we’re getting back to that

That LA style was boring as (frank)

that post lockout team was fun to watch.. you couldn't turn it off. they could be down 3 going into the third and you knew they still had a chance. this past season once the team went down 1 goal you knew it was over

Well, I certainly have questioned his heart...and have wondered which Sam is the real Sam.

Sign him to a bridge deal, hope he plays lights out...trade him.
But when he plays lights out, no one will want to trade him.

Ion..I hope he plays lights out. I don't see that happening, when it matters.

TV on wgr

I would love to have TV but with our team heading in a direction of speed I can't see it happening

But he's tried coming back here two times already

Maybe third time's a charm

I’m generally with you, as I don’t think his game will translate well to the playoff style hockey either.
Trade him to Ottawa and graft Brady Tkachuk

That would be a great trade.

Maybe take on some salary to offset the market.
Ottawa and their budget
Sam can be a non playoff player on a non playoff team.

Sounded like vanek likes tutoring the young talent.
I could see jbotts bringing the band back together.
Position of need
Wouldn't cost picks

Vanek- erod- pommer

Vanek is on the cusp of 1,000 games.

Erod is neither slow or old.

Vanek had sam #'s last year.
Plug that in over the couple goals Larson or girgs had last season.

Upgrade.

Like Michael has stated, is complete team speed important?

Goals are. And he gets them in a complimentary role. Of course he's a one or two year bandaid. But he'd be helpful over whatever the (frank) is there right now.

I think overall team speed is becoming more and more important to have any success.

More speed makes break outs easier and improves the transition game (we have absolutely no transition game right now)

Besides being incredibly talented, there is a reason that Eichel and Kane were legitimately the only good 5 on 5 goal scorers. A lot had to do with speed in transition

I was never a vanek fan, but he would be an upgrade over most of our left wings. (If not all of them)

Speed is lacking, but if you are basically adding vanek into nolan's spot. How is that not an upgrade?

I agree, but 24 goals 32 assists and 56 points.
Slow goals count the same as fast goals.

I really think vanek would come back to buffalo too.
How many ufas will sign here?

I also think we are going to be getting rid of some of the non speed guys. Should have room for a slower forth line for the next year or 2.

Requirement #1 to play with Eichel: play better defense than Eichel
