Drury-Briere-Satan looks pretty dangerous to me….

I will give U that. Pyatt seems to be the real deal…We shall see about both of them in another couple of years.

Legace is an excellent back up but hardly comparable to Hasek or Cujo and a 50-50 man for starting long term. Bottom line is Detroit issues lavish deals to trya nd buy the cup every year and it’s finally come back to bite them. I would love to see them deal Joseph and then lose hasek toinjury or legal woes in his homeland. It’s called Karma and it’s a bitch.

Connolly still has a lot of untapped potential. We can thank the Islanders for screwing him up. They brought him up way to soon, messing up his development. He should have been left in the minors for at least one to two years. Hopefully he can regain some of his promise from years past, or that deal was a total bust. Pyatt looks to be maturing nicely though.

Excellent! We need more Sabres articles (although the trend here seems to be the more written about one team the less we get from it). I still say coaching is a major concern to me. I have always resented the fact that Ted Nolan got canned after winning coach of the year. I suspect that a solid team liek the one we have now could use a little tweek in the coaching area.

As for all the hasek trouble in detroit... they get what they deserve. Not to say the man isnt a great goalie but I never liked his attitude. He'd get lit up in a playoff game and then start feining injuries the next day. It would be tragic if they dealt Joseph and he got injured and went out for the season... don't you think?

Good article.

I am not sure if they are a playoff team this year with teams like The Rangers looking better and Boston probably not going to repeart the debacle of last season...

They ARE going in the right direction though and they will definitely be a handful to play against. I like what the team has quietly accomplished. It is good for the NHL.

Connolly is an overrated bum, that is why his +/- sucks.

Buffalo will be a good team, but I dont think they are ready for the playoffs yet. Give them another year at least. They just have to keep building. Not done yet.

They have the guy former first round pick by Ottawa in the Varada trade and the european they pick this year. Forgot thair names.

They will be good for sure, the Habs always had tough time with them in the past two years. This two teams will grow together in the years to come.

You are tha author of the article, just not the same name. Good job again.
