    In fairness:

    - Bryson did look better in camp than he did last year.  He’s 25.  Soupy didn’t become half-decent in the D zone until he was 26ish.

    - Like many of us, I thought Stillman earned the spot over Bryson, but IMHO it was like comparing a C to a C-plus.  I think very few of us want either of them playing much this year.

    - Bryson definitely has higher offensive upside than Stillman does.

    - I think it’s pretty likely that UPL would be claimed if waived and losing him in that manner would be lousy asset management.

    We’ll see.  

    I totally agree on UPL. If they put him on waivers he would be picked up in a heartbeat.

    I wonder what Calgary would want for Markstrom?

     

    How does Bryson keep surviving cutdown day? His ability to play both sides maybe?

    Markstrom might be an interesting pickup. 

  2. Don’t get me wrong, we have all been surprised on how well Benson has done. Yes, he needs to add more muscle but it isn’t like Bedard is a big guy as well. I think the kid has been great but I wouldn’t be shocked if they send him back. Plus we don’t know what the plan is for Savoie as well. I think the plan might be for Savoie but who knows. It’s crazy to think that Kulich was most likely get a spot on the team and then here comes Benson and Biro. I’m really liking what’s in the pipeline. These kids need time but it seems like the scouting staff has done in excellent job. Now what to do with VO and whatever goalie who doesn’t win the backup role. 

  3. Really like Benson but I just don’t see how they put him on the roster this season. I know Savoie is probably ready as well but Biro has been playing pretty damn good himself. Plus Benson can go back to juniors and play in the WJC and get much stronger. Savoie could play in Rochester and get primo ice time and heal that shoulder. If Biro has to clear waivers and is playing well then to me that’s an easy call. I thought Cedarqvist look pretty darn good to, like his size and he seems to move much better then Murray. really like a lot of this talent that this team has in the pipeline.

    He’s completely out of control and undisciplined. He’s also impulsive. He made some amazing plays doing it and now it’s showing. I think he peaked two years back. He will make amazing plays and then play completely undisciplined. It’s not changing. It’s his nature. 

    And this is why this team won’t win a Super Bowl unless they get a great defense around him. They couldn’t stop the run years ago and instead of addressing their needs it still continues. I never really get hyped up about the Bills because they always find new and creative ways to blow games.

    Josh Allen started the day 17/21 and was driving before throwing that second pick. The Bills were completely on track to win this game, 23-13 or thereabouts. Dude is missing something upstairs. 

    He’s not elite like everyone thinks he is. He’s a really good quarterback but if you take Diggs off the team I think you see a major drop off in his production. They still can’t stop the run on defense and their offensive line I don’t think it’s that great.

    Well that was fun.  Gabe Davis has no idea how to get open.  Ken Dorsey stinks.  The offensive line is offensive and Josh is regressing.  
     

     

    I said years ago they needed to fix that offensive line and they need a young stud linebacker who can lead. Plus can someone tell Allen to start sliding and stop taking unnecessary hits. My guess if Diggs gets injured this offense will be in huge trouble and I mean huge trouble.

    my old company used to outsource to russia for some of the programming work, and I was in charge of them. i really got to know a couple of them and they were amazing people. many would say how they hated the politics going on there. 

    i know no politics on this site, so i will leave it at that

    That’s how I feel, I know some Russians here in Vegas and like almost all citizens they are being forced this *****.

    I've been saying for years that the Russian hockey players should overthrow Putin!  What's he going to do?  Throw them out a window.

    If that was the case Mexico and many other countries south of the US should overthrow their government since the cartels and criminals gangs are running those countries.

    While I don’t agree with is stance on barring individual Russian athletes from competitions, I can’t blame Hasek at all for feeling the way he does about Russia. After all, his generation grew up under the yoke of Soviet suppression when Russia led other Warsaw Pact nations in the invasion of Hasek’s homeland in ‘68. The Czechs I’ve known have never forgotten or forgiven that Bloody Sunday.

    I work with a Czech guy and he’s the hardest worker I have ever worked with. He can’t stand Russians. He hates them with a passion.

    The Sabres don't need Tarasenko.  They have the goal-scorers.  A two-way forward would be nice; a goalie is more important.

    Please no Hellebuyck, I seen him enough when playing Vegas and he gets lit up. I would call him Connor Hellasuck! No, to Tatar and Tarasenko.

    I think this is an over pay for a has been, but it does address the depth problem. Veteran leadership on D? I don't love it but I don't hate it. 

    Suddenly too many righties? It will be interesting to see how the pairings end up but the depth has now been addressed adequately imo. 

    I agree with the over payment. What happened with Brett Pesce? Please no Hellabuyck in net. Seen enough of him play Vegas the last six seasons and he ain’t all that.

    Jack showed everyone he’s a good player. Not a leader but very good on a deep team.

    He’s lucky Vegas is Vegas. A group that rolls the dice and lives with it. Had Jack not had successful surgery and had to retire, Begas would’ve said whatever, who can we get next? They knew it was a risk, and took it. And good for them and Jack.

    He’s looked happy and relaxed now that they’ve won it, and showed his lighter side.

    I don’t doubt he wanted to win in Buffalo and knew he wasn’t their first choice and was surrounded by a lot of clowns at the start. 
     

    anyway, we got some great guys and we will be just fine. And good for Jack too.

    I’m in Vegas and it worked out for both teams. Now that my Knights won it, it’s time for the Sabres to do it!

    What do we think about Barbeshev? He was awesome this playoffs. Big body, gets points. We be interested?

    After watching Barbie since he arrived in Vegas. I’m hoping we don’t lose him. The guy was great!

    The Sabres should go nowhere near OEL. Major decline. He’s not what we need.

    He’s in major decline. I wouldn’t take him at all.

    Is this the 1st time Jack's been part of a team that has won something? Wait i believe he was part of the US Junior squad that took gold some 10 years ago.

    You'd think a player as great as Jack would've had more team success to speak of in his career. The fact that he hasn't is a story in itself i suppose.

    I'm sure he's ecstatic, but Vegas winning the Cup seems less to do about Jack & more to do with the rest of the Vegas squad. In fact, Vegas had they not made the trade very likely couldve won the Cup anyways with Tuch & Krebs on their roster. Did Jack really provide Vegas with more than what Tuch would've? But yes i was one of those rooting against him & Vegas. Im just glad he didn't win the Conn Smythe like ROR because that mightve been too much for me lol.

    But I dont hate that he won & i wish him no ill will. I do wonder what to do with my Eichel jerseys tho. Figured keep 1 for posterity & maybe add a letter in front of his name? F might work. No ill will i swear haha

    Head coach, Cassidy, I think was a huge influence on his game
