Yeah, they're adding muscle, but they're also adding a bunch of guys who aren't very good and can't play hockey. Typical Sabres...see the problem, but don't address it the right way.

Whether we agree with them or not, it seems like the Sabres' FO is happy with the skill players we have like Roy, Pominville, Vanek, maybe Gerbe, etc, and they're trying to get some size to give them room to operate.

Maybe the plan is to use all these big guys as blockers and implement the Flying V from the Mighty Ducks with Vanek and Roy in the back.
