    Works for me... let Torres watch, clear his head... let Staff come in and see if he can get something going.

    The message to all players should be, and may be: if you aren't playing your a$$ off, I'm putting you in the box and bringing in the other guy.

        Torres is injured, not a healthy scratch.

        Get a clue.

            That was not directed towards you.

            You did not put the info out there and do not mislead this forum on a consistent basis.

                  Torres should be benched for this:

                    1 thing about Kennedy he was a center all threw college and high school he is making that transition to winger. Thats 1 reason Lindy changed the lines up a bit....

                    The thing about Torres he is still trying to get into SABRES shape. Coming to B-LO he was use to a different style of play in Columbus so he was not ready for the style Buffalo plays. This will take a bit of time thats why his shifts are a bit shorter....

                      With all due respect, I think this is BS. You don't need a system to score goals or at least make some sort of contribution. Hopefully he is a gamer come playoff time.

                        Im just telling you what I KNOW right from the Sabres organization themselves...
                        The only reason Clarke was moved is because there is no room for him here anymore. They have a TON of yoyung forwards in MAINE but just not NHL ready for a whole season. They like Torres I do know that but he is a bit out of shape coming from a whole different system.
                        By the way Torres is getting shots just not getting in the net.....
