Buffalo Portland Sabre Pirates 2010
Since the Sab's are obviously not going to go after any decent free agents heres whats left to work with...
Heres some lines I would try for 2010-2011
Wanted to hear what you guys thought?
Grierย ย -ย ย ย Kennedy (c)ย ย -ย ย ย Kaleta
Ennisย ย -ย ย ย Roy (c)ย ย ย ย -ย ย ย ย Pominville
Vanekย ย ย -ย ย ย Connolly (C*)ย ย -ย ย ย Mancari
Ellisย ย ย ย -ย ย ย ย Gaustad (c) ย ย -ย ย ย ย Kassian
Leaves Stafford and McCormick in the cold
D-Men
Myers(A) ย -ย ย ย Butler
Montadorย ย -ย ย ย Weber
Sekera/Pysyk ย ย ย -ย ย ย Leopold
Out - Rivet
Miller / Enroth
Offensive Notes - I know Kennedy plays wing but lets try this, Also Stafford is very talented I just dont think he fits with any of the players on this team. Mancari is the likely debate but I was impressed with his work with Vanek and seemed to be the best fuel for Vanek that I seen all year. Ellis is just a best of the worst case scenario and I want Kassian as some aggressive depth. I sure everyone would agree the Sabres need some grit.
D- Notes
Can Butler play the game he once played? Would Montador and Weber be tough to play against? Can Leopold play enough d to cover Sekeras or Pysyks butt?
So how much frustration did reading this build up? Any comments -
P.S. I did not like watching other teams suck up great players on free-agency day while the Sabs sat on their hands whistling Dixie... But did anyone expect anything different?
