    Connor McDavid Watch

    This watch would be more interesting if
    1) Whoever finishes in last place had a 30% to 50% chance of getting the 1st overall pick instead of 20%
    2) Tim Murray didn't resign Matt Moulson and bring aboard Gorges and Mezaros..( I know it is not Tims fault he had no choice) The Sabres might have done enough in FA to be good enough to finish 28th instead of 30th

    McDavid has been talked about and hyped out for so long I expect scouts and draft experts to look for tiny little flaws in his game and I expect him to be criticized more than he has in the last 2 years.. One thing that is unfair to Connor is to compare his point totals from years past OHL greats (ex John tavares) The OHL is a different league compared to even 5 years ago.. There is less scoring now compared to past.. My expectations are Connor should be able to average 2PPG this year in the OHL at least even though Erie has lost a few good players from last years team

    So far Connor is off to a great start.. He has grown 2 inches o=since last year and it is being said he has put on 20 pounds..

    In 3 preseasongames he absolutely tore it up with 13 points in 3 games.. After only getting 1 point in the season opener he had a goal and 2 assists against Windsor and 2 goals and 2 assists tonight against plymouth..8 pts in 3 games currently is 2nd in OHL scoring..

    drool.... hes so good.

    if you think the sabres are better this year, just remember the area they didnt improve: goaltending. miller was having a good season for buffalo last year and it didnt make a difference. the sabres goaltending is alot worse this year (not that enroth and neuvirth are bad, just not close to miller)

    Offense fixes a lot of things. instead of losing 1-0, or 2-1, maybe we win 5-4 lol.

    Yeah i kinda overlooked Miller not being here anymore.. I also forgot the Sabres signed Brian gionta

    Connor seems well spoken.. One thing to like about Connor is he has not shown at all the same level of entitlement that Eric Lindros had when Eric was 18... And of course Erics parents had the same level of entitlement that Eric had

    We still have the Islanders in play as well. I figure between the 2 teams, things will go to pot for one if not both.

    2 goals and 2 assists for MCDavid vs Sarnia Oct 4th.. There was a huge contingent from WGR at that game.. 12 points in 4 games for McDavid

    The Leafs will be in play for a lottery pick.

    i fully expect a meltdown because they have the same core of questionable characters "leading" this team.

    Enroth looked great in the pre-season. The backup position is the worry.

    Re: Connor McDavid Watch

    Listening to WGR everyday and some of the things I hear I don't think the Sabres will finish last.. The attitude and vibe surrounding the team is much better than it was last year.. some of it is because Ted Nolan is respected and Ron Roulston was not.. And the players had long lost respect for Regier..And I expect Drew Stafford to play much better this season because it is his contract year

    I doubt it.. They would have to get to 85 points at least 52 to 85 is one heck of a leap

    It was all Columbus. They hit 3 posts early with Enroth getting little help.

    He's a good goalie, making many good saves... but the team in front of him coughed up the puck in their own end way too many times. Sloppy.

    Re: Connor McDavid Watch

    Ho Hum.. Another 4 point night for McDavid 2 goals and 2 assists against Kitchener in a 8-3 win.. The announcers are right on McDavids 2nd goal he makes it look too easy and simple his skating is unreal..His draft stock is definitely not going down after 5 games he is at a 3.2 pts per game pace which arguably he is bettering expectations

    The thought that we could go in the toilet for two years+ and still miss this kid makes me so nervous.

    Eichel will be the best No.2 overall since Malkin... Doughty..Seguin..and Barkov are great No.2s Eichel is slightly better than those 3 as a prospect.. And IMO Eichel is better than every No.1 since Tavares except for Nathan MacKinnon.. Eichel and MacKinnon are even in IMO

    Re: Connor McDavid Watch

    I think Islanders may of done enough to make playoffs and a first round exit.
    The odds of McDavid are not in Sabres favor so I am trying not to get too hyped up for landing him. I am more interested in Eichel at this point since landing him is more realistic.
