Eichel 75-80 points.
Reinhart 60.
Dahlin - 40 (+/- 5).

Those are my guesses.

- ImThatGuy


I think your guesses are fair enough for Rhino and Dahlin.

That said, I expect a whole lot more from Jack. I think he needs to get to be on the +side of PPG...therefore, I think the goal for him should be 85 min to 90...and stretch goal of 95.
I expect Sheary and a resurgent Okposo to help get him there.
-Jack 30/60
-Sheary 30/25
-Okposo 25/30
Something along those lines.

I wish JBotts could get another LW sniper to take some weight off Sheary and give teams someone else to focus on.

Soup is not chowder, and chowder is not soup.

But bisque is just a bs French word for chowder before you add the veggies and meat/fish

sabres trying to make a last minute splash

multi bodies going out, 1 coming back

from a standings point we literally can't get worse...

we should be better i just don't know how much better. I think a lot is going to factor on the three new additions in Stats, Dahlin and Hutton

- IndianaSabresFan


Exactly. We have no idea what this team is with those additions. New goaltending, new 2C, new top defender...we could have just as bad of a season next year...but to pretend that it's headed that way is pessimistic, for numerous reasons, the big 3 additions only being one of them.

I think you are underrating Florida. They finished 25-8-2 last year and missed the playoffs by 1 point. If it weren’t for their injuries and taking half a season to wake up they would of been in the talk for a top 3 spot in the Atlantic. We are the 5th best team in the Atlantic. I think Boston has a 1-2 year window before they are a rebuilding club and then we supplant them in the top 4, possibly top 3 depending on how Florida turns out. Toronto and Tampa are built to win now and in the future. The Atlantic will be a dog fight for years to come.

Florida is like Carolina to me
Keep waiting for them to step up & be a perennial playoff team,
but it just hasn’t happened
Don’t know how much Luongo has left in the tank either, but I like their talent

The Josh Rosen comeback against Texas A&M is on the Pac12-LA channel if anyone wants to watch the QB we should’ve picked

I heard about it when it came out. I wanted to see it, but it was on some weird platform. I can't remember which. I found it on one of the "free", read: malware central, sites. I might watch it later.
- Wetbandit1

It wasn't tied to Hulu or anything like that. It's basically just a DTV movie that got a standard VOD release. You could rent it from Google and iTunes and the like. It was supposed to get a theatrical release, but it just ended up playing at some festivals and nothing else.

If you have Amazon Prime, it's available for free with Prime Instant Video.

If you put your ear to the Hockeybuzz message board, you can still hear Winnipeg fans talking about how good he is.

Yea you’re not wrong. I think out of the past 5 years though I think this is the most talent they’ve had going into a season. Who knows though, there are always teams that exceed expectations and some that don’t quite reach their projections like Florida has the past couple of years.

To put up those numbers, sheary and okposo would both need pp1 time. Can't see them both getting that.

I think Sheary is a 23/22 guy

45 points is about right for him playing in the top 6

Also for Homie:

You would think there is at least one more move to be made before camp starts.

Botts has to address the lack of LWer talent, the crazy number of LHD and LWers right?

Right?

Please tell me I am right haha
