That D and a 40 year old goalie? Heck, the rest of the team finding its way too may not give him much help. I'll wait to be surprised.

Oh I agree it doesn't look good and most nights it might not be, I just get the feeling once they set the roster things will look a tad bit better.

Too lazy to backread but where is Oloffson?
- SabreWest

That's just for the preseason game, he will be in the top 6 until he is traded.

Who gets more wins this year - LA Rams or Buffalo Sabres?

We'll see soon. He's been given a great opportunity, but obvious questions if he's ready for it.

i doubt it...it's a tall order to step into a no. 1 center role, period...and its umpteen times harder to do so on a team built for the bottom of the league

Son of B!tch, let's go Monty!

Yeah, for know. Be surprised if Girgelson is that high.

Can't read. Help

Anderson
Dell

Idea : Allow Eichel to have the surgery of his choice, but only if we're entirely off the hook (for the rest of the contract he's owed) should it go bad. He signs off on that, then it's go time. If the surgery goes well and he recovers nicely, he can then be dealt. Should (God forbid) something awful happen, he signed off on it and we're clear of his contract.

He wants out of here so bad ? Let's see if Jack has the balls to do that.

Probably in the minority, I think he will be decent when he plays.
- Buff36

The question isn't solely how good Anderson will be, but also the likelihood of him staying healthy and how many games he'll end up playing.

I'm with you. I think he's going to have an extremely difficult time with the matchups he'll see.

I have a feeling we're gonna end up terminating his contract

Fair chance something like that isn't even allowed. How could the NHLPA possibly go along?

Interesting...

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen allowed five goals on 31 shots Thursday in Detroit. The Sabres already had him penciled in as Rochester’s workhorse, and another performance like that would solidify it.

Yeah I know...but if he wants out of here SO badly, then put up or shut up. You're right though...the effing NHLPA would probably say no way to that, Jacko.

It's hard to imagine a bigger mess than this.

I agree, kinda what I meant about when he plays.

Yeah I was surprised, but it's for the best.

meatballs needs that line to do some heavy lifting...puts less pressure on the 20 yr. old cozens and allows that line to (hopefully) flourish

What the (frank)?!

Throwing it back for our thirds.

have a hunch you will need to win tomorrow to avoid play in game

Let eichel come to that conclusion on his own
If surgery works trade him
If not he breach contract
