JohnC Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 @BuffNewsVogl Sabres will begin talks with Hudson Fasching as soon as today, and he could be wearing a Buffalo uniform this week. Sabres, Fasching to begin contract talks as soon as Sunday When Justin Bailey was brought up he didn't look out of place. Ruhwedel has recently been given playing time and he looks like an NHL caliber of player. With our favorable cap situation the GM should be able to bring in two to three good players who not only would help to bolster the roster but give it enough depth to absorb the predictable injuries. Let's not forget a healthy Ennis. With the expected internal improvement of our young players I will be very disappointed if this team does not make the playoffs next year. The pieces are being added and the plan is being executed. How can one not be excited about this team?

Bailey I like quite a bit for the future while Ruwedel looks like a career AHL defenseman who can fill in as a recall. I agree with your overall assessment that the future is bright for the Sabres.

JohnC Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 What's that? Ennis has had concussion issues that have plagued him all season. The type of head injury he sustained can happen to any player, including bigger players. Is he a Tim Connolly type player who seemingly always has a string of injuries to deal with? I'm not going to jump to that conclusion. What I do know about him as a player is that he has offensive skills that this team can certainly use. I'm not giving up on him as a future contributor. My perspective on him is that if he plays up to his potential when healthy then it is a bonus.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 @BuffNewsVogl Jack Eichel and Robin Lehner absent as Sabres return to practice.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 @pham1717 Jack had food poisoning and saw the doctor today and will be on the trip. Coach said 46 is in a holding pattern. (Cody Franson) @BuffaloSabres Coach Bylsma says Eichel is feeling a lot better, will be going on the trip to Carolina. Ennis is doing better, worked out and skated on his own this morning.
eball Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Damn, this Eichel food poisoning thing is interfering with my decision whether or not to get tickets for tomorrow's game.

4merper4mer Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Hmmmm...where have I heard this before? I don't know but it sounds like they're fully pregnant.
plenzmd1 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Damn, this Eichel food poisoning thing is interfering with my decision whether or not to get tickets for tomorrow's game. i am guessing great seats are $25 ? Beer is going to be more than seats no? Do they tailgate on weekdays?

eball Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) i am guessing great seats are $25 ? Beer is going to be more than seats no? Do they tailgate on weekdays? I'm sure they are cheap, but I think I'm going to pass this time. Tuesday night game that has no significance with a weakened Eichel... Edited March 22, 2016 by eball
