As someone that is in the West and watches the West a lot this would be the last player I would try to acquire. He is damaged goods and he should have been moved instead of JT Miller. Pettersson is way too soft. That’s the last thing the Sabres need!
If I’m McDavid I test the market after next season. He’s not gonna win in Edmonton. Their bottom six isn’t that good and they have Darnel Nurse making way too much money. Shaky goaltending in Skinner. They were a better team last year.
Buffalo should have let Eichel just get the procedure he wanted, not what the team wanted. His move to Vegas made him a much better player. We have great coaching in Vegas with Bruce Cassidy, John Stevens, and Dominique Ducharme, basically 3 head coaches.
I get why all the hatred for Vegas but this is the way organization’s need to be run.
They have drafted well and their rebuild happened quickly, still not sold on them though!
It will be an interesting offseason because they need to get a lot better in their own end and need some players that our smart in defending.
They need to start drafting guys that have some sandpaper in their game. No more small players unless they are like Benson.
