Thread: The Sabres - Constant Season/Projections/Chat/Thoughts Thread

I think 2-2. Wins against Anaheim and LA. Loses to Dallas and Sharks, even though those teams are currently struggling.
I don't think the Sabres are as good as their record. They rely heavily on the power play.
I like Kreuger; he's getting a lot more out of the same players than anyone else had.

This list shows all NHL players under contract (I think).
I don't know that I'd use the term "allowed". You're certainly able to discuss whoever you'd like here.

Thread: Time to Reconnect the Dots Between Buf and Edm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Copenhagen</b></div><div>If I was manager of Oilers I would never do this, they have lots of D, no wingers! They have Bouchard, Jones and Lagesson that can all play in the NHL</div></div>

Sheary is a winger; and he's probably on the first line in Edmonton.
Edmonton has a lot of good young defenseman, but I'm not as sure they're ready for the NHL. You could start out with the D-corp below and replace Russell with Bouchard when he's ready.

Nurse - Larsson
Klefbom - Ristolainen
Russell - Benning

It could mean the most accomplished player currently playing in the NHL.

Thread: Leafs Cap trouble worse next year, much worse

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buxvet</b></div><div>The trouble next year is even worse than one might expect
Which no one really seems to be talking about
What happens when the fake 11m in cap space disappears
With the expiration of the ltir from Horton + Clarkson because their contracts are up

With just 12 players signed for next year and a cap hit of 67.271
This only leaves 14.2M in cap space to sign 11 players
Even if your really bullish of the cap going up, lets say it jumps to 85M
That still only about 17.5M for 11 guys or about 1.6M per signing on avg

I just can't see how Nylander can stay</div></div>

They won't lose $11m in cap space when Horton's and Clarkson's contracts are up. They just simply wouldn't need to put them on LTIR. It's (roughly) the same outcome.
Yes, they're going to have to be frugal next year (probably only room for about one big UFA signing) but it's not related to Horton/Clarkson.

Sure, it's about how the coaching staff decides to build the roster.
But "Stone could easily replace W, X, Y, and Z"?

Mark Stone had his most productive season last year...

Stone: 33g, 40a, 73p
Stamkos: 45g, 53a, 98p
Huberdeau: 30g, 62a, 92p
Scheifele: 38g, 46a, 84p
O'Reilly: 28g, 49a, 77p (and that's not even his strong suit)

Thread: (SJS/COL) - Bibeau for Meloche

Both teams got pieces in positions for which they have extremely shallow depth. Not that either of these guys are going to have a big (or any) impact in the NHL, but both teams just needed bodies in those roles at this point.

Well...yeah. That's how fame works. The more people who are aware of your existence the more opportunity you're going to have to be criticized. People having a reaction is not an inherent overreaction just because there's a bigger pool of people who could react.
