All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

So who should we keep for the 2011-12 Sabres roster?
Re: So who should we keep for the 2011-12 Sabres roster?
I'm excited about this off season. It's the first one I can remember ever looking forward too. Team Pegula is going to do some great things for this organization. As bad as the offseason 2007 was, this is going to be great and get this team deeper into the playoffs.

Not sure if Goose is a must have player. His face-offs are great but he was a huge liability with his play in the playoffs.
Yeah, he was probably my most questionable choice. In fact, him losing that faceoff last night to Briere with 22 seconds left in the 1st was very costly, as it resulted in that goal at the end of the 1st period. Seemed like that was kind of a backbreaker.

Here's a quick list of players I'd try to keep for 2011-12
Vanek
Ennis
Pominville
Enroth
Stafford
Boyes
Gerbe
Gaustad
Kaleta
Gragnani
Weber
Sekera
Should anyone else be on the "Must Have" list? Or should any above get cut?
Add: Miller, Myers and Roy.
Subtract: Kaleta and Enroth.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I disagree on Enroth. They need a back-up. Maybe Miller can be better if he can take off 15-20 games.
Kaleta has one year left on his deal and is a cheap depth player. Keep him around for the last year of his deal.
Roy I generally agree with, except if the right deal comes along move him. But if he is going to be a point a game player then he is a good deal at 4 million per.
Re: So who should we keep for the 2011-12 Sabres roster?
I'd like to see us get a good, veteran backup goalie in Free Agency and give Enroth another full year in Portland.
I'm not a big Kaleta fan, but he's OK as a 4th line winger. Not sure he's a "Must Have," however. I think Mancari's a better hockey player.
I'd keep Roy as a very good second line center, and try to get true first line center.
Plus a couple of good defensive defensemen (in the Lydman/Talinder mold).

Re: So who should we keep for the 2011-12 Sabres roster?
i think enroth has gotten all he needs out of portland. the guy there now is tearing it up too. so goalie seems to be fine as long as we ditch lalime!
kaleta is too injury prone and unreliable. i like his game, but his body seems to hate it. i wouldnt have him on the untouchable list, but that doesn't mean i'd cut him.
pominville still needs to go. buy him out. He's decent, but he's expensive. he's also got a serious 4-6 month injury. So no one is taking him off our hands, and he's not a lock to go at the start of the season anyways.
Stafford i'm torn on. i hate him and love him. i have no idea what his position with the team should be.

Enroth can't go to Portland next year w/o clearing waivers.

Buying him out would be a huge cap hit. Probably around 7 million or so. That is a horrible idea. Just terrible.
He is also the team's best all around forward and is key on the PK and PP.
Is he overpaid somewhat? Probably. But not by as much as people think.
