sicknfla Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Since we are in a rebuild I look at our current lineup and ask myself who is part of the future and who is not. Looking at it this way makes you understand a little bit easier how far we have to go. Players still here: Myers ?? Erhoff Pysk Risto Weber ?? Hodgson Foligno Grigs Girgs Larsson Enroth Not here: Vanek Miller Ott ?? I think he decides to go to contender Leino Stafford Porter Flynn Kaleta Scott McCormick McBain Sulzer Tallinder In the system: Zadarov McCabe Armia The rest I could classify as possibilities but no sure things. I may have forgotten a couple. Either way that is 10 here and 13 gone. Do we really think that in 2-3 years we will have 13 prospects/picks fill out a competitive team? Not a chance. We have to be open to FA and acquiring proven talent in trades. If you are the GM what is your plan?
LGR4GM Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 My plan would have been to trade up and take Monahan or Lindholm... which we could have done. I am not baggin on Risto but we had the shot at elite level offensive talent and we passed it up. unf##kinbeleivable
waldo Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Players still here: Pysk Risto Weber ? Hodgson Foligno Girgs Larsson Enroth Zadarov McCabe Armia McBain Hackett and then ask yourself how many teams you are going to beat with the aformentioned roster over the next eight years.. lol
Taro T Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 My plan would have been to trade up and take Monahan or Lindholm... which we could have done. I am not baggin on Risto but we had the shot at elite level offensive talent and we passed it up. unf##kinbeleivable That's not what the op asked. He asked what pieces of this roster will still be here in 2 years; not how the Sabres could have drafted differently to get here. That said, assuming Regier is still here in 2 years, I expect to see the following still in b&g: Ehrhoff Psysk Myers Ristoleinen Weber Hodgson Foligno Girgensons Grigorenko Larsson Armia Ott Tropp Leino Enroth With Zadorov also on the roster and either McNabb or McCabe in the mix. Hackett probably is the starter. Not sure where/if Flynn will fit in. I expect Ennis traded by then. No data on what he, Miller, Vanek, and Stafford bring, but a couple of those pieces and/or next year's top pick will be 2 of the missing forwards. The last 2 hopefully will be good FA signings. Hopefully the kids develop. (I'm getting tired of hope.) I'm also proabably underestimating the turnover as that's only 4 new guys and a goalie into the lineup. (Counting injured guys on that list as being on the big club today.)
Peppy22 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Every time someone writes "Erhoff", a kitten dies.
MattPie Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Every time someone writes "Erhoff", a kitten dies. And two die every time someone asks why Grigorenko isn't playing in the AHL.

pi2000 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 not here? Darcy. That's the only one that matters.
SabresBillsFan Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 not here? Darcy. That's the only one that matters. What do u mean according to Terry he's doing such a fine job. Are we ready to be like the pirates from awhile ago with all this losing. I don't see it getting better when you have no one to put the puck in the net. Knowing Buffalo's luck they will finish last these next two years and lose both lotteries and miss out on Reinhart and McDavid.

Some of you can't spell anything OTHER than the players name. Do I dare even mention run on sentences, no commas, etc.
Hoss Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 These are players currently on the team that I don't think will be here in two years. Vanek Miller Ott Leino Stafford Porter Kaleta Scott McCormick McBain Sulzer Tallinder (Everybody here but McBain and Kaleta are safe bets to be off the team after this year). Lineup in two years: (Acquired player)-Hodgson-Armia Ennis-Grigorenko-Girgensons Catenacci-Larsson-(Acquired player) Tropp-(Acquired player)-Flynn Ehrhoff-Pysyk Risto-Zadorov McCabe-Weber Pysyk, Risto, Girgs, Grigs, Larsson, Enroth, Hackett, Zadorov, Catenacci, Ehrhoff, Weber, McCabe, Hodgson, Ennis, Tropp, Armia, Flynn and a few acquired players.

Somewhere in the next two years we have to find a true #1 center. If that is our top line in 2 years we are still bottom 5.

deluca67 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 Two years from now we'll be discussing the two #1 overall draft picks the Sabres have added to the franchise.

Two years from now we'll be discussing the two #1 overall draft picks the Sabres have added to the franchise. And how [insert coach] has ruined them by [keeping them up / sending them to CHL] way [too early / too late], thereby [hindering / enhancing] their [development / descent into substance abuse].

Eleven Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 They had to give me that one???? It's the default for all newbs Yep. It's the default. It's supposed to encourage you to pick something else. I suggest you go full brony and get a Rolston head on a purple horse. But that's just an idea.
