Sujet: Goaltending and Defense and Team Defence
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Unless both guys are excellent defensively (not their game as far as I know) I wouldn’t expect both to be in the lineup regularly next year. The Sabres play wide-open style, which led to them scoring a lot of goals this year. However, it’s lead to them giving up the among most scoring chances and almost the most goals in the entire league. They could use a defensive minded, third line center who wins a lot of face-offs, and can kill penalties very well. The penalty kill is pretty terrible and desperately needs improvement. Winning draws improves your possession numbers, which hopefully improves defense by default. Add in a defensively responsible veteran defenseman to play with Power, and the team could be considerably better and very much a playoff caliber team.</div></div>

The Sabres forward are maybe 20% of the defensive problems. Dahlin is the only Dman hitting his potential. Power plateaued and has had some rough games and Samuelsson has had his growing pains. The rest of the defense has been miserable at best. I don't see them not adding offensive prospects because their D is garbage. They can replace Okposo and maybe Jost and they'll have the summer to work with Greenway, other than that they need to figure out a partner for Power.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>Bro we must be watching two different teams. Greenway sucks. Biro is a career AHLer and Rousek isn’t good defensively. Their forwards don’t help their defense. That’s why losing tuch hurt so much. They’re thin on competent two way forwards</div></div>

Greenway will have an entire summer to work with Granato and had been playing well defensively before the trade. Biro is one of the best defensive forwards in the A. They couldn't score because Tuch wasn't there to play defense? Or was it because Samuelsson has been in and out, Dahlin was out and seems to be playing hurt, and their next best pair has been Stillman - Lybushkin. Tuch being out hurt, but their D core is atrocious aside from anything else. Doesn't matter if their forwards help out or not, It's the worst 6 in the league in their own end. Bryson needs to go and Jokiharju needs to show improvement this summer or be shipped out
