Right now the centers they have are Roy, Gaustad. and McCormick? Connolly is an unrestricted free agent and I can't see them signing him again.

Actually, isn't McCormick an UFA also?

Wait until he gets at least 3 million a year to play on the Rangers, Red Wings or someone decent next year.

3 million?? Quite the bar you set there!

Name of the game is good players. If you look at the good teams, they have several really good players at several positions.

Sabres are young and have some potential very good players in the making in Ennis and Myers. Add a top line center and strong, tough defenseman and we can make a run.

Re: The Name of the Game is Center.

Anybody want to make a cold analysis and say that every one of those centers I listed is better than the Sabres #1 center? He (assuming it is Roy) may not be in the top 20 in the Eastern Conference. Great players? Fine. You must have better at center than the #20 in the conference. That is what is killing this team.

Re: The Name of the Game is Center.

Cup champs almost always have a great center.
Oilers: Gretzky, Messier
Penguins: Lemieux, Crosby
Avalanche: Sakic, Forsberg
Red Wings: Yzerman, Datsyuk
Lightning: Lecavalier
Hurricanes: Staal
If you don't, you better have a HOF goalie like Brodeur or Roy
