You still think Mancari is a better player then Torres?? LOL

Who said better? I stated it is my opinion for the long term viability of the franchise.
So, lets review, shall we?
We keep Torres, and don't end up winning the Cup this season. Torres walks to sign with some one else. We loose the 2nd rd pick and Mancari doesn't get precious regular season and playoff experience if the team were to decide to keep him.......hmmmmmmmm...........no, I think I'll stay with my original opinion, I would have kept Mancari in. LOL

WRONG THREAD

Mancari has had the opportunity to earn that regular season experience a couple times and hasn't taken advantage.

I don't know which is more humorous.... the fact you want to play Mancari over Torres or the fact you think Mancari will be a full-time Sabre next year?

I guess we'll see next season who is in and who is out, won't we now. But all in all, I stand by my assessment. Oh, you can scream all you want about Torres, ok, we'll see come playoff time what he's made of. Outside of tonights performance, he hasn't impressed me any at all. And even tonight, he was the 2nd feeder on 2 of 3 goals.

Remind me again what line he is playing on? What I thought.
To be quite honest, Mancari could do no worse in a blow out like this evening.

Torres should be playing with Roy and Kennedy, not Mair and Ellis.

Hopefully after tonight's showing (and Stafford's non showing) he will be. At least Raffi tries to make an effort out there, I don't know if I could say the same about Drew. He's probably more interested in playing his guitar right now.

We truly are not worthy of Miller!

When he first got here he was injured, which is probably why his play was sub par. This was his first game back, and Lindy didn't want to rush him into 1st or 2nd line minutes. Give it a couple games and I'm sure he'll be with Roy and Kennedy until Vanek gets back. I'm not saying he's going to be a star, but now that he's healthy, throughout the stretch and into the playoffs he'll produce a couple points here and there, be a presence in front of the net, and give this team some more toughness which is what we were looking for when we traded for him. That's a lot more that more than what Mancari and his "I'll play on my terms" game has to offer.

I love Torres on the 3rd line but with the right players.

The way i see it, playoff lines will be-

Hecht/Connolly/JPom
Kennedy/Roy/Vanek
Torres/Goose/Grier
Stafford/Mair/Kaleta (or Ellis)

Quite frankly, if Torres had 3 assists with Ellis and Mair, why not keep him there? If that line is producing, why not give a few more minutes?

He's better play with them tonight. Stafford just looks disinterested, like he doesn't even care. He did wake up a little bit when Timmy got crosschecked, but other than that he played horrible.

100% agree. I hope this team writes Drew off during the summer and moves him. Maybe he can get a jumpstart somewhere else, but to even say he seems disinterested appears to be almost giving him too much credit. The dude flat out needs to go.

Mancari has 1 more goal on the Sabres than Torres... Not saying he's better but... WHAT THE FUCK MAN!

He had 3 assists yesterday, he's finally fully healthy. How about we give the guy a chance? Mancari went invisible after that Dallas game in early March, too. Not only that, Torres is a beast in front of the net and in the corners and has invaluable playoff experience.

Honestly, if we could just dump him, with no return, then I would do it. He's taking up a spot that could better be used by Ennis or Gerbe (Or even Mancari).
