I think he falls somewhere between option 1 & 2. 20-25 point fourth line guy with way more skill than a Rob Ray, and also someone who can fill in on 3rd line and maybe even 2nd line on a short term basis without looking completely out of place.

I like the coaching hires! :thumbsup:
-
The Sabres have offered Grigs a two way deal? He would never pass through waivers, so what would be the point? Trying to force him to take KHL offer? A situation that started with a prospect falling on draft day continues to spiral downward.

I don't expect them to make the playoffs next season, but I do want them to win their fair share of games and be competitive in games they lose. That's not happening with current goaltender situation. Not to nitpick but goaltending needs to be addressed this summer as a priority
-
When Chad Johnson is your only goalie under contract(not counting AHL guys Hackett, Liewen & Makarov) it most certainly is a priority come 7/1.
-
Going to Minnesota twice in the preseason is really odd.

????

To make it even worse, 49 years of the SB, and nothing to show for that either. :censored:
-
The face of the franchise for the first 17 years of their existence, and arguably the greatest and most popular Sabre of all time...the one and only Gilbert Perreault. /thread

Please! :cry:
-
I won't speak for Liger, but my reference was obviously a joke. ...and the way to make you milestone posts seem more important...start a new thread proclaiming it! :P
-
I feel bad that your town is losing their AHL franchise especially coming off a championship season. As far as seeing Sabres prospects come to town next year and beyond at the ECHL level, the problem is that most will likely never going to succeed at the AHL level let alone the NHL level. i.e. Jacobs, Sundher, etc... I don't think more than a few of them were even signed to Sabres two-way contracts.

I know there is little to nothing the NHL can do about it(defense first strategy), but it drives me crazy when there is one offensive player crossing the opponents blue line, and is surrounded by 4 defenders. YES!!!!!!! DId you see that 1 on 4 defensive play? Seeing Kane, Stamkos or one of the other offensive stars smothered is much more exciting than seeing a great scoring chance. ...but the game has never been better, right Bettman? :cry:
-
I know what you are doing Hoss...trying to egg on Liger so that he forgets about his post count, and his mock draft is not released for his grand moment of 15,000 posts. :lol: I'm trying to come up with my own grand plan for my 10,000 post. An exposé on Battista and his meddling within the organization, or maybe just another post with inane ramblings while I continue to wait for a Buffalo hockey or football championship?
-
Not trying to be a dick and pile on a newbie, but unless you have NHL Center Ice what Florida city has a TV station contracted to broadcast 20-30 Av's games every year?
-
Actually these were the thoughts of a neanderthal named Lucic shared while in a beer store in Western Canada. :)

I tried before the Finals even started and I was told play will suffer without the breaks even ones that are non-travel days between games.

What time do doors open for the 2015 NHL Draft? Doors open at 4pm for Day 1 (June 26) and 8am for Day 2. Day 1 (Round 1) runs from 7 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. and Day 2 (Rounds 2-7) runs from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. We recommend arriving early as most tickets are general admission and will be first-come, first-serve for seat availability. A ticket does not guarantee entrance.

Smehlik - Ellis(no one even comes in a close 2nd) Snuggy - McCormick All-time Smehlik - Ric Seiling. Never liked him as a player and having Bossy taken with the very next pick and going on to an all-world career only made me hate Seiling more. Looking at his stats right now, he was a better scorer in his early years than I remember. Still hated him. All-time Snuggy - Matthew Barnaby. There are dozens of others who I could have named over the Sabres 45 year history.
-
Just realized that I will be at a wedding the night of the draft. Thanks for smartphones and lots of places to wander while checking for updates. :ph34r:
-
If only DR had believed in suffering back in the summer of 2007. ;)
-
Agree.
-
As he was walking away you should have run him from behind, and then said, that's for Miller!!!
-
Absolutely 100% agree. Puck bunnies in every city, and you want to settle down at the ripe old age of 20? On a related note...especially if said girlfriend/fiancee' is from Russia, who in turn gets homesick, wants to go back home, and convinces hubby that the KHL isn't all that bad. :angry:

UPDATE: Buyout — Roster review: #19 Cody Hodgson
LabattBlue replied to dudacek's topic in The Aud Club
I lost faith in Regier long before he was finally fired, but he isn't the first GM in the history of the league to hand out bad contracts. You can probably cite cases on all NHL teams where the pecking order of player salaries does not equal performance.
