Kevin Freiheit: Top 5 former Sabres who could return

There should be a "none of the above" pick....

If MacArthur comes CHEAP, he could work.

briere!

MacArthur.

I wouldnt be shocked if they took a run at Lydman. I remember Pegula saying how hed have never let him go had he own the team.

I know were pretty full on the back end, but we need 1 more vet presence in the top 4. A top 4 of Weber/Ehrhoff/Myers/Lydman allows McBain and Pysyk to grow into minutes and let 2 of Risto/Ruhweidel/McNabb play in Rochester and get big minutes

Take this off Kevin. T
Those names are disgusting

Aren't they?

What about Keith Ballard? I know he didn't play in Buffalo, but he was drafted 11th overall by the Sabres.

My thought exactly, i will puke if we sign any of them. We need to end the old regime, start with the young guys.

No thanks, lot's of D depth out of the NHL. Lets say Mcbain takes sekera's spot. We have myers ehrhoff weber pysyk mcbain. Ristolainen will prolly be in the NHL. Then Zadorov, Mcnabb, Mccabe.

The question wasn't "Who do you want to be a Sabre again" it was which of those free agents has the best chance of becoming a Sabre again...

Still works

Bring Tim Connolly back to Buffalo !

The only player I hope returns is Briere. I would be greatly disappointed if ANY of those other players returned to Buffalo.

Wait - is Hasek still available?

Bring Tim Connolly back to Buffalo !

Agreed

If I had to pick, like, if you had my hands tied and a gun to my head, I'd pick Lydman. But at this point, I feel like bringing any of them back is going to just stunt the growth of the young kids and eat up valuable on-ice experience.

If we had to have Lydman back to basically captain the D then I guess that's cool. But I'd really rather someone like Erhoff step up and start earning some respect in the locker room.

How old are we? 12?
No way to any of those.

Need a reset button for this pathetic organization and its past.
No to LaFontaine, no to Perrault, no no no

Darcy, please just step down. Bring in someone who needs to win, and doesn't accept mediocrity.

Wish we brought in Patrick Roy, but would "conflict of interest"... to winning

Also wish we went for the "homerun or strikeout" w Nichushkin. At least the Bills did that w Manual....Hmmm, they brought in a GM f a organization of excellence(Steelers). Sabres should do the same! Enough homerism!
