He s/b L2 after JJP, IF they get rid of Skinner.
- IonSabres



Then he's failed again. Can't get rid of Skinner without replacing him.

We have established 11-OA probably gets the Sabres a Middel 6 F or 4/5 Dman.

If the Sabres keep 11 and Eiserman is available, would you consider making him a boom or bust selection?

With his goal scoring prowess, the gamble is if he hits you could have a L1 Player and significantly beat the averages. Are the Sabres in a position to make that gamble, or should they take a more conservative approach and hope for a Middle 6 F, 4/5 Dman?

Trade it with prospects for actual NHL players.

There is no more patience for tiny players who this front office believes are skilled.

If they pick at 11, they'll certainly be hoping for more. That's just the way the draft works. They see potential and had him ranked higher. We hear that every year.

High risk isn't what KA does. He just wants a sustainable, decent team.

I'm fine with keeping Krebs. Can't imagine he has much trade value, anyway.

There are enough bottom 3 guys out there that hit and forecheck like demons. Go get two animals to play on your fourth line w Krebs.

I've heard they're keeping Greenway. Not a fan. If he's on your third line, they better get a helluva player to center him and Benson.

Pesce 6 years, $6M per.

Walker 5 years, $5M per.

Neither would say yes to the Sabres...?

You mean he needs to fill what LW position? L1, L2, L3? Why only LW
.
Why not RW? Or higher-end 3C.

I would submitt the exact position isn't as important as the production...55 - 70 pts and decent 2 way game.

If JJP at 1LW grew his game into 65-70 point from 50, and Benson hit 45 -55 at 2LW, while Adams got a 45pt 3C and a 55-60Pt 2RW would that not be significant upgrades in the Top 6?

IMO you are more likely to see that than him signing in a 70 - 80pt Top 6 F...unless he signs Kane, which I am 110% on board with.

I am not putting my eggs into a basket that Benson is ready for L2 minutes. That's just me.

I get what you're saying, and it makes sense, if...

Lots of "ifs" in there.

And what "if" JJP regresses?

Jesus 36, if that happens, get to church cause the end is upon us!


I would absolutely love that!
Joker, Krebs, Kulich and 11 has got to be in the ballpark.

Jeannot is perfect for 4LW and Cernak can play 1RhD or 2RhD as needed. If they want a former Allstar, Olympic Captain, fabric-type leader we can through the rights in for free!

If this is true, kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Go sign Duchene and let's roll.

Right.
That said, what if Ehlers fell on a slippery walkway and was done for the season (who was that Bills QB that did it?)

The If game can be played endlessly. JJP and Benson growing their games seems like a safer bet, but anything can happen.
Play the odds.

That QB fell down the stairs at Encore when he was going down to the coke den in the cellar. The next day he “slipped at practice.”

Also Benson is the most overrated Sabre since Girgs.

So far, he should have been taken 2-OA.

He needs to play with 2 guys who can play a high puck pressure game so that line can create turnovers in the dirty areas...very much like the Panthers play. He's good in those areas.

You'll love him here in 2 years...you will have to retire your ID, reconstitute as IGiveBensonBJ's

Cernak keeps Samuelsson down to bottom pair, doubt Adams has those balls needed
