So who should we keep for the 2011-12 Sabres roster?

[PTI]

i'd think a safer and easier way of building the forward lines is

line 1 Vanek, FA C, Stafford
line 2. Gerbe, Roy, Pominville (small but fiesty)
line 3. Ennis, Gaustad, mccormick
line 4. Mancari, Adam, kaleta/kassian/ellis etc

I could go for that. I would live to get a FA Dman better than what we got though. I think Ennis is a 2nd line player though and can score 30 goals. 4th line Center could maybe he Hecht is they kept him, or he could play wing. Is he under contract next year?

Gerbe on your 2nd line over Ennis?

on a small second line, i liked have gerbe's ability to go get a puck over ennis' finesse.

Three finesse players is a huge no no. have we learned nothing from nintendo's ice hockey? you can't survive with 3 skinny's.

Hello to another first round exit.

perhaps, but having three new wingers as top line is unrealistic.

and i forgot boyes in there...who in an ideal world would be in place for pominville, which probably gives ennis his number 2 spot back

The team needs crease clearing defensemen. badly.
