    Sabres still have a very, very, very good core of players

    I know only a few think this is true and expect this team to be the Chicago Blackhawks for the next several seasons, but consider this:

    Forwards
    Vanek-Roy-Max
    Pom-Hecht-Connolly
    Kotalik-Goose-Stafford
    Mair-Peters-Paille
    Extra: MaCarthur
    Defensemen
    Campbell-Teppo
    Tallinder-Lydman
    Kalinin-Paestch
    Extra- Spacek.

    Yes we do have some great players in our system.....

    However without the experienced grit leading the team winning the cup in the short term became a bigger challenge.

    and if what we've seen over the past decade as soon as our youth gets to that level of experience and grit they ship off to greener pastures leaving us chasing our tails.

    but here's hoping we finally buck the trend

      As assembled they are betting that there are another CD and DB in that bunch...that is a tall bet. There is nobody on that roster that is going to get them to the semis. All we heard was how they would lose offense, become more defensive and get grittier and tougher....I don't think the last defensive, gritty part has been accomplished. Maybe that will change but not as of right now.

              Piss on Briere.

              But they will BADLY miss Drury. and you can tell by the way quinn talks about him he feels the same.

                I don't think many are disputing the strong core but we were a final 4 team the last 2 years, looking to get a bit better.

                Now we may have dropped back several spots. Good enough to make the conference playoffs but able to go deep into the post season again ? Call me skeptical.

                      A shot? I'd bet good money we are at least a 6 seed next year.

                        They do have some good players, but they don't have the right mix...as it stands right now. Not enough grit, heart, size or character. Plus, some more veterans would be ideal.

                          who says those guys can't win the presidents trophy? They already did it once.
