Upl had 1 good year in 5. Bet accordingly.

A real gm could have made the playoffs. Adams is a failure and the Sabres have mediocre to bad stats across the board. Peterkas 2nd assists are a function of him playing with Tage Thompson. If you feel Tage can't score without Peterka carrying pucks in or shooting them in, then say so. Fancy stats tell us how Peterka scores. The question is what does removing that mean for everyone else.

How quickly we all forgot how good Samson Reinhart was on both sides of the puck. Truly one of the dumbest trades of Adams illustrious career.

Do you think Buffalo will score 30 less goals this season because Peterka is not here? Or even 20 less goals, let's go with that. They scored 269 last year, do you think Buffalo will score 249 goals this year?

The Sabres have to remove 17% of their goals against. There offensive output is borderline irrelevant without that change. Getting just average gt brings you down to only needing 10% goal reduction. That's how bad UPL and Levi were last year.

Sam Reinhart has only scored over 40 once, twice if we want to count the 39 he had last year. He also shoots at 15.9% on average and manages 224 shots a year on average over the last 3 years. Peterka shoots at a career of 12.7% and was at 15.6% this past year. He only averages 199 shots over the last 2years. So Peterka will have to add 25 shots on average to his total and maintain his current peak of 15.6% just to get into the realm of Reinhart. Sam has had 4 30+ goal seasons. Peterka would have to go wild to get to 50. Can Peterka be a consistent 30g scorer, maybe. He will need to develop more than just his rush game. Can he hit 40 consistently, idk, I am not sold on that at all.

She didn't bend the knee to the king and friend of Epstein, Donny Boy.

Lol what? The Sabres have had terrible analytics for, idk the last decade? That's not very exciting.

That's your key takeaway?

Why? And no.

Because from now on, only the numbers the Supreme leader wants will be published.

Seems to be the antithesis of what the Sabres have been trying to add to the forward group then.

Terry should be ashamed of what he has done to the Sabres but I personally don't think he cares.

The world is changing. All that once was is now lost, for none now live who remember.

Cool

Pegula isn't surrounded by real ppl who have any feel for the pulse of the fanbase. They put on these shows and slap themselves on the back "wow we're awesome!" because they live in an echo chamber.

I think he was just re-elected and his term runs through 2028. I don't know about term limits but he helped negotiate the Bills stadium deal which put all over-runs on Pegula instead of split with the county or state (not saying he did this himself but he helped in the process).

Removed it entirely so we don't have to worry about it. Let's just say "Kulich is important to the offense and here's what the numbers look like..." Also it might have gotten buried but I put Kulich at 23g, 20a for the 2025 season.

No, but I am saying a Majority support him.

I think that is at least a very interesting question to think over. As for who will have more points? Probably Utah, they have better GT and better coaching. Which forward group will produce more? I'd give Buffalo the adv. What roles would you say are there for the forwards. How would you categorize Buffalo's?

Not without a new coaching staff and a goalie, imo.

A vocal minority don't like Mark.

To quote Sparta, "if"

Changed the ***** title because this place can't handle the word linchpin.

It is somewhat hilarious to me you don't question Cooley or Gunther being in the NHL at their ages or games played but have gone on a literal crusade to put Zach Benson in the AHL this year. before you mention their points, you don't think Zach Benson can match their points in his age 20 season? Ok. Let's find out. And before you come back with nonsense, Gunther had 30pts his 20yr old season when you take out pp points and since Buffalo runs one of the dumbest pp, I'm only looking at even strength scoring. Amazing how incompetent this coaching staff is. Thompson - 448 games Tuch - 536 games Norris - 239 games Zucker - 770 games Benson - 146 games Kulich - 63 games
