Now, Sabres are the ones facing tough offseason questions
One or the other would be fine…
The lines we have it seems they need the following…
Playmaker, Goal Scorer, Grit in the corners
Briere, Pominville, Hecht
Connolly, Drury, Zubrus
Afinagenov, Vanek, Roy
Exception 4th line
Mair, Gaustad, kotalik
Losing Briere could result in lines like
Stafford may not be a direct replacement but i still feel next season he is a 30 goal, 40 assist guy.
Preditcted stats next year. with the predicted lines just losing briere 
Vanek 45-50 goals 40-45 assists - 85-95 pts
Maxim 35 goals 55-60 assists - 90 - 95pts
Roy 25 Goals 35-40 assists - 60-65 pts
Drury 35 Goals, 40 assists - 75 pts
Kotalik 25 goals, 35 assists - 60pts
Zubrus 25 goals, 45 assists - 70pts
Connolly 20 goals 50-55 assist - 70-75pts
Pominville 30-35 goals 30-35 assists - 60-70pts
Hecht 27-35 goals 25-30 assists 58-65pts
267 goals on the low end to 285 goals on just the first three lines. being that 80% of the sabres scoring was the first three lines…
they could be a 333 to 350 goal scoring team… They are just gonna get better. And be much better defensively too.
Tallinder and lydman found their groove
Campbell and spacek
Kalinin and Paetsch
And no briere to suck ass in the corners.
I think another broken Record next year 55 - 57 WINS!! thats 110 -114 pts already. Lets just hope for no injuries!!!
Yes 5 30 goal scorers… and every player on the 3 lines would have 20+ goals… I don’t see briere being that missed…
Sry im a dreamer… But i think we’ll be much much better
