  1. Right, if there isn't some massive deal(s) in the works, everyone knows Buffalo has way too many players they don't need. I made this point on 7/1. All of the players, then, not just Risto, are devalued.
  2. My question, upon review, wasn't worded correctly. The answer is obvious based on the way I worded it. Sorry to affect the collective IQ of the board. What I meant to ask was what is he EXPECTING to do after acquiring all of these players (especially if the Gardiner thing comes to pass)? Sure, we don't know really (do we?), but I'm not picking up a pattern or thread that indicates any strategy here other than "get the ones you can when you can and worry about it later". Sort of like he's building up a big blob of clay to eventually start carving away into some sculpture.
  3. Interesting take. And so, real question, what does he do to pare down the roster? Trade bodies for picks? That seems like the only thing he can do if he can't trade bodies for bodies.
  4. In this instance, Larsson is ideal for the role and it's worth caring that he's slotted into his ideal role. I think this call is easy to make and helps, a little, to piece together the 2 & 3 lines.
  5. Sheary got a look on the top line last year, did he not? I believe that Olofsson is Jack's choice, and what Jack wants, Jack gets. In this instance, I agree. I would do: Reinhart, 2C, Vessey Sheary, Mitts, Erod Zemgus, Larsson, Okposo
  6. Why would the Sabres want that when they already have the "better" version of...that?
  7. Maybe RK is going to completely shake up the hockey world by using 3 D and 2 F for his schemes.
  8. At least you didn't say "your not funny." That'd be upsetting.
  9. I suggest non-gender specific silhouettes and earth tones.
  10. In our modern, highly sensitive society, I propose they are renamed "The Buffalo Persons".
  11. Depends on what his Def_xG looks like. If it's not improved, it'll be like he nets one goal all season.
  12. Pulujarvi...based on what I'm reading here, if we were to try, I think trading KO for him straight up would be the only thing I'd like to do. Or, maybe, Sobotka. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/future-hold-jesse-puljujarvi-edmonton-oilers/
  13. This isn't a "highlights" video, those are all of his goals.
  14. Please, please, let it not be that Botterill is just acquiring what he can with the hope that he can put together trade packages.
  15. Two words: goal differential.
  16. The problem is, the entire galaxy knows we're stacked, so we're not quite dealing from a position of strength.
  17. At ~ $3 mil a year?
  18. Speculative. Just like I can speculate there's a glut of bottom 6 wingers and defense, so there must be a plan to deal with that instead of being "curious" how the landscape looks.
  19. Wingers don't need to identify with a side in the new NHL. That's part of why RK is here. The new model.
  20. I don't mind that he's not overpaying for anything, but the Amerks are getting "depth" as if they believe the Sabres stand a chance at a deep run and are padding themselves in lieu of injuries.
  21. If he's slated for the first line Botterill needs to be fired immediately.
  22. Big world, small window.
  23. I'm getting the Blase Thomas Golisano goosebumps!
  24. Yeah, but you said "adequate defensively".
