JohnC Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I know that I sound like a broken record but even when the Sabres lose you have to be encouraged. Even against the good teams they lose to you can't say that the Sabres are outclassed, even when they are not playing with a full complement of their players. Next year it is reasonable to believe that with their healthy cap situation the GM should be in a good position to bring in another 2 to 3 good players. When you see a young player such as Reinhart dramatically improve over one offseason then the prospects for such in-house improvement is another factor for the team making a step up. Next year Ennis should be healthy and hopefully he can recapture his scoring touch. As I have stated in prior posts I would prefer that the GM use the cap space to bring in a few good players than break the vault for Stamkos. I recognize how good he is but I would rather bolster the overall roster so when injuries do happen there will be more depth to absorb the player losses.

When I think of the 40 goals we were banking on between Ennis and Moulson this year, I think those goals would have been the difference in a bunch of these one-goal games going our way and we would actually be up there with the teams contending for a wild card spot this year, even with 19 and 20 year old FWs in our top 6. I think GMTM is gonna go hard after a guy like Fowler to finally acquire a top pair LHD that can move. GO SABRES!!!

JohnC Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 This is the right outlook on the team. What makes the Sabres a compelling local team to follow is that they have a GM who is transparent as to his strategy to rebuild the team and you can see him following the script. He's not passive and he is ready to deal. The flip side is that he is not so desperate to make a deal that doesn't make sense for what he wants to accomplish. Most GMs in all the major sports speak in cliches and offer little as to what they are thinking and what they are willing to do. Not him. He was on WGR talking about Moulson. He wasn't afraid to be specific in criticizing Moulson for his off and on season preparation. Most coaches/GMs don't publicly offer their stinging thoughts to the media. Not him.

plenzmd1 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Myself , son , and two nephews took the week to follow the Sabres and do a nice road trip. 4Th Sabre game this week, along with a Leaf game and the Bandits game last night. Montreal was awesome, Bandits game last night was a ton of fun. This 1 pm start has the arena dead again... Hate these afternoon games
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 These picture-in-picture shots of Rick Jenneret calling the game are really intrusive and detract greatly from the game. Please stop it MSG.
