Do we make playoffs with this roster? If so, top 3 or wild card?

Thread: Time to fire Babcock

Besides the Gold Medals that any coach could have gotten with those teams he has accomplished nothing for a very long time. He is old school coach he thinks good players need to learn by playing with plugs. He values veteran players and grinders way too much and plays them far too often. His GM had to trade all of those players away like Billy Bean did in Moneyball.

If he still plays Matthews 18 mins a night in key games than he should be fired after this season. I would have axed him this off season as I think he hasn't evolved as a coach. Especially with how to handle the young guys.

Thread: GMJB needed a good Summer and didnt have one

If Botts could bring in a 2C, scoring wings and a top Goalie he would have. It's not as easy as sending Scandella away for a 4th round pick a la all of these Armchair GM moves. Teams aren't lining up for our castaways.

It's a process and Botts made headway this summer.

Thread: Hockey Buzz is trash and you should ignore it

Still waiting on that Mantha/Risto 5 player trade....hahahaahhaha

Eklund is smarter than us. He writes fantasy stories that people buy into and go to his site everyday to hear. Even the people that hate him visit to read real hockey bloggers.

Thread: Ha dur dur dur

This really allows the Leafs a lot of cap flexibility for future years...I think the Montreal trade needs a 3rd rounder coming back to the Leafs to make it even. Leafs D solid for years to come

Thread: Are The Sabres A Playoff Team

They don't have the goaltending to get them there. Unless Ullmark finds another level.

Okposo is a cap killer. 4 more years of his 30 points doesn't help. Sheary is another 30 point guy.

They need a 2C, another top 6 winger and a real goalie.

Thread: Split them up pls

If Edmonton didn't trade anyone they would have solid scoring 3 scoring lines:
Anyone McD Yaks
Anyone Draisatl Eberle
Hall Nuge Anyone

I know Yakupov wasn't amazing but he had high end skill and would have done great wit McD

Thread: Poo Poo Power

I just tossed this out for fun. Sabres need a 2C until Middlestadt is ready. Stepan is a solid C for 2 years. Is Middlestadt takes the next step then Stepan slides to 3C. I know Risto is much younger but not many teams looking to move a 2C. Plus we are up against cap and people aren't lining up for Bogo and Scandella
