Rasmus Dahlin is this teams best player. Can't wait for him to get traded, this place to celebrate it, and then watch him drop a 100pt Stanley Cup winning season on a real team.

This roster isn't particularly small or light. It's certainly soft though but size does not equal tough.

And you need to start a thread. This isn't the place for it.

Sam Reinhart is on pace for over 50g again and is top 10 in the league in points. Jack Eichel is also top 10 in the league in points. Food for thought.

This team has no heart.

I just hope Dahlin and Benson get traded to good teams. Go my friends, be free.

I'm serious. When does he just say f it and quit?

He's to f-ing cheap for bonuses. Remember the 3 E's

There we go.

Knows it and will often critically discuss the issues he sees.

At least we scored

"Turning on the sabr... oh dear God"

Well... one said "let's see how the Sabres are doing... omg my eyes" or there abouts. Another said "check in on any Sabres fans you know"

It's gotten so bad that random national media ppl are making jokes online right now.

I've seen baby bunnies with more edge.

Terry is about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.

We? No, I was exactly right about Samson. He's fine af

Maybe, but that's asking a lot.

We should talk about Michael Misa. First, he would only have to go back to jrs for 1 more season if drafted, he would be AHL eligible after the 2025 season. This is due to seasons played not age because he was granted exceptional status and is in his 3rd OHL season. Misa is a 6'1" center with excellent skating and some Benson-esque ideas. He currently has 30g, 31a in 29games. That leads the OHL in pgp, in goals, and puts him 5th in assists. That includes all OHL players, so guys who have been drafted already like Calum Ritchie, Quinten Musty, Beckett Sennecke are behind him for scoring in the OHL. Scoring isn't everything, well not everything we should look at. Misa does something that Benson does well, plays through contact. If you watch him, he will engage to get leverage and comes up with the puck quite often. This is due to 3 things. First, his skating. He has quick feet and powerful strides allowing him to get the leverage. Second, he is smart so he isn't just going in guns blazing hoping good things happen (see Cozens), and Third, his stick skills. He has good hands which allows him to get pucks out of those situations and into good spaces. Misa in the video below gets lots of credit for "reloading" above the puck. This is something Benson does and Quinn was doing until whatever the F this season was. It allows him to use his brain to activate his skating and get pucks or breakup passes. It allows him to rotate effectively which is something our centers struggle with. Is he perfect? No. I think at times his passing could be crisper and occasionally I want him to be more selfish. He doesn't do a lot of stickhandling but uses his pace and skating to get where he wants. He has those skills but I want his hands connected to his feet more often. I am nitpicking but the short version is more flash to go with all the substance. If I were Buffalo, I would be heavily scouting Misa because the motor, physical engagement, skills, and brain are what the Sabres need more of. He's a blend of Helenius and Benson but better than both at most things (Benson has a better brain and is more physical). In an ideal world, I would trade for another top 4 pick and grab Martone. Benson - Misa - Martone would be something when they are all 22-24. Before the boo birds show up, I am not advocating Buffalo waits 4 more years to get good. This is simply about the draft.
