    Hey Bomm, your thoughts on the goalie situation now? Clear starter or tandem? Thanks.

    Tandem with an edge to Enroth in getting the bulk of the starts. Nolan's a big loyalty guy, so as long as he is here I think Enroth gets the bulk. Remember, Enroth - despite his poor record -continued to receive more starts than he ever had, prior to Miller being moved.

    Why?

    Cuz losing translates to higher first rounders, and that plays in Murray's overall strategy for this and next season. this off season and next year the Sabres will continue to sell and compile as many picks and prospects. From 2015-16, and 2016-17 once their core is established, then they'll be buyers - looking for key vets to put them over the top.

    Ideally.

    Any guesses to how much longer it takes Buffalo to turn the situation around to competing on a nightly basis ?

    Not giving 100% because we all know that is why Nolan is behind the bench, but rather the talent and ability to challenge for say ... 80 points

    A season or three ?
    Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.

    2016 is my guess. A ten point swing from year-to-year would be considered huge. Oddly a ten point increase in 2014-15 could still land them in last overall - just to lend some perspective.

    Until the Sabres draft/trade for scorers, it will be some time before they sniff 80pts as a team. Unless Hasek makes a comeback...

    Lebrun reporting Murray still shopping for another first, to no avail. I definitely foresee Murray swinging at least one deal tonight. I think Sabres go Reinhart.Murray a big fan of hockey IQ, and Reinhart's got it.

    That said, I still think he wants Ekblad. Maybe that's me projecting...could be. But the thought of Ekblad, Zadorov, and Risto would be absolutely boner-ific.

    So...yeah...

    Love the Gorges trade. A solid d-man who actually plays defense. Solid team guy, great role model for the youngin's, and at a great price (2016 second). Plus the cap $$ is needed.

    Gionta next?

    I know he's after Moulson and Ott too. Be friggin funny if the sign Ott over, and then trade him again to a contender at the deadline. Rinse/Repeat.

    w/the Moulson signing at 5/$5, I believe this puts the Sabres @ ~6 mil to hit the floor.

    EDIT: which would be perfect for Ott's 1yr $6 mil deal.
