Sabres injury news.

Re: Sabres injury news.

Middle six winger, sure. Top line, oh hell no. I hoped he would be, but his streaky production shows he's not. If the sabres had the depth to put him on the third line, I'd like that alot.

And Nylander will probably need another year in the AHL next year...

For sure. He's so young, but the talent is there. Asplund is apparently making huge strides as well. I listed some UFAs for next season that the sabres could use. I want wingers and a D

Re: Sabres injury news.

I like the idea of Vanek on Eichel's wing. He's so offensively smart... he can maximize Eichel's production. Plus... he's bound to teach the kid a thing or two a long he way.

kane is a banger that could balance things out for them... just not sure because of the consistency issue.

i really like the idea of Brian Boyle being brought in to be our third center... pushing Larson to the 4th line.

Or going big and going after hanzal for the third. Depth scoring a big boy. Could be had for discount

Re: Sabres injury news.

Do you think Kane is a long term answer for one of those spots?

Well, he has 8 goals in 11 games. When Kane is engaged, he's a top line winger. Remember this post when we see him rattle off 2 goals in 19 games before getting hot again.

Re: Sabres injury news.

I haven't been one of those people calling for Kane to be run out of town. He's at that point where he's either going to grow up or melt down.

He steikes me me a relatively intelligent kid... on the cusp of making that choice.

I'm rooting for him.

Assuming he makes the right choice, he's got the makings of a very difficult matchup for other teams.

The other one one that has some growing to do... Jack. He's a few years from realizing the kind of hockey player he can be IMO.

Re: Sabres injury news.

Tyler Ennis says he had surgery because he just didn't have explosiveness and skating ability needed to play his style of game.

Sabres' Ennis takes the ice: "I know that once I get my body healed up 100 percent, I’m going to be a better player” https://t.co/AdeiA6Ib2F

Re: Sabres injury news.

once ennis shows he's healthy, hopefuly he scores a goal or two and someone wants him.

I'd rather have ennis over a few guys at this point

Re: Sabres injury news.

I want some sort of meaningful trade. ennis has been off this team essentially for 2 years, if there is any value, we don't give up much to get something that might push others. get grant off the team. but to me, it seems like the team is ok losing this year and blame injuries. last night angered me greatly, but if they lose this season to make some key trades at the deadline for some desperate teams to pull in a dman or some more scoring, it might be the thing that gives bylsma his put up or shut up season next year.

Re: Sabres injury news.

Out for the rest of the year. Major bummer, I really liked how his offensive game was coming along.
