Nah I don't think so, he's running the PK for sure, but this kind of defensive scheme has been something in Buffalo even when Ruff was coaching. Never apply pressure at the blue line, they just let forwards walk in and do whatever the hell they want. It's disgusting to watch.
Yeah, Weber is not playing well this year, just way too inconsistent, hopefully by the end of the tank, we're going to have some kind of D pairings consisting of Myers, Risto, Pysyk, Zadorov, McCabe and someone else. Definitely need some top end forwards for sure though.
I spend a lot of time in buffalo so a lot people I know are Sabres fans, and while this next season or two will be really ugly, I really like the young core you've put together if you can just add a top forward or two to the whole thing. And with Sacco ready to pounce you're well positioned to tank for those forwards this year and next. Then things will look a lot better with your good set of secondary forwards and wonderful cadre of young defencemen.
Just gotta let tank commander Sacco work his magic for the next season or two.
Especially if you guys pick up some first round picks for Vanek, erhoff and miller. Try and trade up to get a couple high end forwards out this draft and the pieces may be in place as soon as next season.
