Two or less Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Sabres had Brendan Perlini at the game tonight as a guest. He got a tour of the arena and got to meet the team. Is this a common thing for eligible draft players to go to NHL arenas and meet teams? Anyone know? Quote
.55. Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Sabres had Brendan Perlini at the game tonight as a guest. He got a tour of the arena and got to meet the team. Is this a common thing for eligible draft players to go to NHL arenas and meet teams? Anyone know? Jason Woolley is Brendan's agent, so that probably unlocks a few doors. The kid has been to quite a few Sabres games this year on his own, too. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 If Buffalo drafts a defenseman with their 1st pick when they are offensively challenge I think people will be pissed. We need Reinhart or Bennett with that first pick if we have a top 3 pick. Also It all depends on what New York does with that pick they traded us. If I'm another team wanting Vanek I don't plan on giving up a lot for him since he's going to test the market. Plus watching Vanek in New York is he's been very lazy. I'm not spending big money on a player that isn't going hard all game. To me Tavares is worth every penny. I'm sure management and teammates are pissed since he turned there offer down. The message it's sends is so bad. He knows he's going to get paid bank. I still think he goes to Minny after Heatley is gone at the end of the season. Quote
Huckleberry Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) The wild will have two scary top lines next year Vanek - Granlund - Pominville Parise - Koivu - Niederreiter/Coyle Edit: why does Pommers name get changed into Pomminstein half the time ?

Because you are misspelling it half the time. Autocorrect changes PoMMinville to Pomminstein but leaves it alone when you spell it Pominville. Edited February 4, 2014 by weave Quote
North Buffalo Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Posted February 4, 2014 So the question becomes can the Sabres get another number 1 pick out of anyone in this group for either another top 4 this year or a pick next year. I say package Stafford and Molson together to a team struggling to score... say to FLA probably not, but NJ for one last push for a #1 and #2 next year? It is still hard for me to guage what might get the Sabres more decent No 1 picks this year or next. Quote

Assquatch Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 According to Sportsclubstats.com, after last night's win at Phoenix, the Sabres chance of finishing: 30th: 72% 29th: 22% 28th: 5% 27th: 1% 26th or higher: 0% (rounded to nearest whole %) Edit: I see now it used "weighted" predictions on the remainder of the season which somehow used past performance to predict future outcomes. If I change it to use coin flips for the rest of the games: 30th: 51% 29th: 30% 28th: 11% 27th: 5% 26th: 2% 25th: 1% 24th or higher: 0% The Sabres chances at finishing 30th jumped from 75% to 85% after last night's loss to Edmonton.

Hoss Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 Kris Baker @SabresProspects 1m Draft stuff: Sam Reinhart gets a goal and four helpers as Kootenay upends Saskatoon. That's 20 points (9+11) in 8gp since WJC. 41gp 25-45-70 Quote

dudacek Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 I'm sorry, but I'm all in on Reinhart. Quote
WildCard Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 I'm sorry, but I'm all in on Reinhart. I'm leaning this way more and more every day. I'm not sure about the ceiling on him, but from what I've heard he sounds a little like a better version of Drury, which I'll take any day of the week Quote
BuffaloBorn Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 It might sound weird but I read a piece on ESPN that a lot of scouts in sports are weary of players who can already grow a full beard because it often means they have completely matured physically already without anymore room for growth. Explains Grigorenko. Quote
Derrico Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 I'm sorry, but I'm all in on Reinhart. Yep, me too. Quote
Hoss Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 Explains Grigorenko. His is still patchy. Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 I'm sorry, but I'm all in on Reinhart. Yep, me too. I am just about there. Quote
Hoss Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 That regulation win for Calgary over the Isles is big. Andddd Edmonton pulls off another win. Weeeee. Quote

Hoss Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) And the loss makes it magical. Just in case anybody is wondering, the Sabres opponents after the Olympic break have a combined record of 697-533-191. 13 of the final 25 games are against teams in the bottom half of the standings (17-29). 12 of the final 25 games are against teams currently holding a playoff spot.

dudacek Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 According to today's TSN Radio interview, Tim places the most emphasis on intelligence and competitiveness. He also raved about our top four prospects on D and said we are weak down the middle. I smell a Reinhart pick :thumbsup: Quote

Taro T Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 I think we'll end up with Reinhart and one of Dal Colle/Draisaitl/Nylander/Perlini with the Islanders pick. I hope not. I want McDavid w/ that one. Quote

Ah Duh, we on this board have been saying that since Drury left and the Tin Man was obviously cephalically compromised. Just wondering why no deals before Olympic hiatus... not good enough offers, what does that mean, teams are looking for a fire sale and not offering enough?

Hoss Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 I hope not. I want McDavid w/ that one. We'll be working on McDavid/Eichel with our own pick next year. Quote
