Well, he really doesn't have to make a Kovalchuk like signing, I would be content with a forward that can produce decent numbers. A 50 point guy would be fine. Hell, even a 40 point guy.

And I'm not saying he is done. I'm saying, if he CHOOSES to be done with these results or similar, it's not going to work out.

Would it shock you if Regier were done?

It wouldn't shock me a year after his "big" moves were adding Montador & Grier and he's already added Leopold & Niedermayer.

I'd love it if Regier made a sizable move or two. But, I'm not expecting it to happen given Regier's approach to building a team the past few off seasons.

Sabres Hockey: Commitment to Mediocrity

B&Y -
Sabres won the division last season on the tweaks of jettisoning some flotsam (Paetsch, Paille), letting a rookie defenseman run wild, and acquiring two savvy vets (Montador, Grier). The plan last season was to make the playoffs. It was a success.

This year he adds a savvy vet and replaces two departing FA defensemen with a cheap, statistically-comparable stay-at-home d-man and a cheap (as compared to Tallinder) offensive d-man with less giveaways. Everything else remains the same, except for the increase in competitiveness among the top six and the increase in ass-kicking ability on the fourth line. The plan this year will be to get further in the playoffs than the first round and with the increase in leadership, competitiveness, general health, and cohesion, so I'd say that so far this off-season is a success.

Why? Without Ennis and Kennedy, we already had 6 40-point producers at the end of last season, 5 of the 6 being forwards. With the addition of Kennedy and Ennis to the top six, we potentially have two more. I don't think signing anybody was Darcy's top priority for this reason.

Niedermayer is a 60 point guy...

If you add up his last 3 seasons, sure.

Lol, it was a joke. Are there any 40-50 point guys out there that aren't a fucking horrible idea cost-wise?

What if he's waiting to see what the kiddies can do at the prospect camp before he makes a drastic signing of a top 6 forward. Maybe one of the prospects can be that guy for us instead of having to sign an outsider. We all know Darcy likes to build from within.

We truly are not worthy of Miller!

I put in 4 hours of work overnight, my sarcasm detector is too tired to function.

Well, you would think, but there's that whole work away from the puck issue that nobody seems to understand.

Miller makes up a good part of this team, but it's not like we have absolutely nothing.

You think your opinion is the end all be all, and it just isn't. Like I said sarcastically in another thread, you're not good enough. You're just not.

(I'm still saying it sarcastically, by the way.)

For me, I'm done with this topic. If I even try and post here people drop the topic and get pissed because they like to express anger over the internet.

Come on Darcy, pick up a forward.
