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?

Grier   -    Kennedy (c)   -    Kaleta

Ennis   -    Roy (c)     -     Pominville

Vanek    -    Connolly (C*)   -    Mancari

Ellis     -     Gaustad (c)    -     Kassian

Leaves Stafford and McCormick in the cold

D-Men

Myers(A)   -    Butler

Montador   -    Weber

Sekera/Pysyk     -    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?
