Hughes has elite speed and jumps up more but a D liability. People are enamoured by his speed, Me I like Bouchard, more size offensive skater but without the D liability.
Sam defers too much to Jack and feels like he has to play in his shadow, at least my sense, Keep Sam with ROR and tell to foget about his tandem partner. I think both Middi and Alex need to be up next year with CJ. Add Dahlin if possible and keep developing D from later rounds. If no on Dahlin draft best scorer and stay away from reaching on trades. I know we are all butt hurt by this season... but keep away from older vets in trades. Let the younguns grow up.
Agree and I think the Sabres need to find a way during the off season to come together as a team once changes are determined. More off season hockey things around Buffalo wether it be off season work outs/ training - team activites, passing drills, especially under pressure. Structure stuff, drill drill drill till they get it right. Wish team stuff could happen earlier. Dont care if theses guys like each other only that they compete together. Want to see some leadership and be sick of playing against each other by the time season starts.
Passing still sucks and they have no idea how to swallw the puck when under pressure or help each other out. Sens pressure young Sabres all night long and Sabres in corners playing to not get hurt. One team played shinny the other hockey
most improvement: Sam 2nd half of year, Erod.
Need a most underwhelming: Girgenson, Larry, Gorges, Falk, Nolan, Antipin with an excuse to KO but hoped for more...
Most surprising Nelson’s development and Ghule gives me hope
Yup Yotes won 69 points, Canadians picked up a point last nite to 69. Only Ottowa only team left with 67 points 3 games left. Tonite for carrion league championship.
Montreal picked up a point giving them 69, Yotes picked up 2 points... leaving only Ottowa in contention for the carrion league championship. Sabres have clinched 30th... 3 games left and a 3 point lead.
