John from Riverside Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015  And that's why the Bills traded this year's first away for Watkins last year. Because Pegula can't have the first pick in the NHL draft if he already has a first-round pick in the NFL...right?

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 some idiot was on WGR yesterday saying that McEichel isn't going to turn this around, and one guy can't do it all bla bla bla ...

But with our prospects that we already have, plus Kane, it'll start the turn around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Nobody said they will. But with our prospects that we already have, plus Kane, it'll start the turn around. That and it never hurts to have someone who has the potential to be not only a superstar, but the best player in the entire league. We had it in net, but we've never had that with a skater. Perreault was close, but there was too much talent during those years, specifically an in his prime Bobby Orr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, even in '99 it was Hasek and a bunch of guys who could score the 1-2 goals a game needed. And the '07-'08 teams were just really good overall teams.

Â It's not just Kane or McEichel; it's a combination of factors that includes both a new coach and the very likely signing of another top-6 forward (i.e. Beleskey or Justin Williams). Â With a top 3 lines consisting of a FA signing, McEichel, Kane, Moulson, Girgensons, Ennis, Foligno, Reinhart, and Gionta, plus a defensive unit of (at worst) Risto, Zadorov, Bogosian, Gorges, Pysyk, and McCabe, this team is looking upwards in a big way.

And I don't think anybody has ever said we're gonna be instant cup contenders in '15-'16. It'll be another year or two before we're sure bets for the playoffs. This rebuild is for the long term.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I think a lot of people are completely forgetting about Sam Reinhart, as well as overlooking the other young talent we have on this team (Grigorenko, Girgensons). We'll be adding way more than just "one guy" next year. The majority of the roster will be different than it was for that last game against the Penguins. Â edit: Dang, gotta be quick around here! Bandit snuck that post in while I was making sure I had the names spelled right! :thumbsup: Edited April 15, 2015 by DrDareustein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compher, Nick Baptiste, and Vaclav Karabacek--that's a ton of 1st/2nd round talent. Â Â What, no Weber? Â Hah! You didn't see Hodgson on there either, did you?

bbb Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Perrault was great. I loved him.............But, am I the only one who thought he could have been even greater. I think he had the most talent in the league at center, but I don't think he ever made first team all star. Â Maybe as a kid, I was looking for more goals from him. Â But, I think he could have been in the Orr, Gretzky, Lemieux etc. category. Â I know he smoked cigarettes (as did Lafleur and others) between periods, etc. And, not sure what else he could have done. But, I always felt he was going to burst onto that top level, but he never did. I think a lot of people are completely forgetting about Sam Reinhart, as well as overlooking the other young talent we have on this team (Grigorenko, Girgensons). We'll be adding way more than just "one guy" next year. The majority of the roster will be different than it was for that last game against the Penguins. Â edit: Dang, gotta be quick around here!

Pete Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Gilbert Perrault #11 and Graig Nettles #9 were my two favorites growing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 As entertaining as this season was, rooting for the #1 pick and overall future of the team...damn I miss playoff hockey. Next to football playoffs, there's nothing better. I can sit and watch the entire game with 2 teams i couldn't care less about and still be entertained. It's just a totally different game and feel in the playoffs and I really miss it. I would be so jacked up right now if the Sabres began their Stanley Cup quest tonight, but hopefully soon....At least Saturday will be exciting...
