Sabres = Patriots

I like the approach the Sabres are taking and I can't help but draw the comparison to the NE Patriots. I think it is more about the "system" and the coach then about individual players. All you need to do is keep your "core" intact like NE did with Brady, Branch, (the beloved...not) Bruschi. And the rest are just interchangeable parts. They key for Darcy is to truly identify the core. If he does this... we should have the potential for more long playoff runs that may even bring us a CUP or 2.

Getting a little ahead of ourselves I think................. B-)

That's how the Devils do it. They're always competitive and they rarely overpay for a player. They keep the core together and keep plugging in no-names from Albany who step up and play.

Rarely overpay? What about Mogilny and Malakov? There will definitely be some trades coming out of NJ. They're almost over the cap and haven't resigned RFAs Gionta and Gomez.

 

I'll give sweet Lou credit for locking down Elias.

Identifying the core is only one half of the equation. The much more difficult part is signing these "core" players to 3 year contracts.
