Makar is quite the comparable. Where did you see this comparison?

Reilly and Liljegren...everyone else acquired. remember when they drafted Sandin and Dermott? Sandin traded away this season for a UFA in Gustafsson and Dermott for a 3rd round pick This is why I am hesitant for the Sabres to trade away their 1st round pick #13. That player should be hugely valuable in 2 or 3 years , playing on an Entry Level Contract. Wait until you truly are one of the top 4 or 5 teams in the league before selling off picks.

a lot more regular season wins sure, but they are only up by 1 in playoff series won and I don't think people said that about them for years. Maybe Leafs should have stayed the course and built with draft picks and younger players.?. They gave it 2 seasons, then decided to blow their wad on an aging John Taveres. Who they knew wouldnt be worth his contract 2 or 3 years into it. How many Leaf draft picks in round 1 and 2 that are currently on their roster from the 2017 to 2022 drafts? Matthew Knies and Timothy Liljegren. And no, they aren't always drafting at the end of round 1 I sure bet they could use some younger / faster players available at the moment D is already avg at best and here is their predicament Starting D from last night McCabe 30 in October Brodie 33 in June Rielly 29 Schenn UFA Giodano 40 in Oct Holl UFA Gustafsson UFA ------- reserves: Liijegren 24 Timmins 24 IR: Muzzin 34 Mete 24 Cap Space going into 23/24 $7.5Million.....Good Luck to them honestly, how much better off are Leaf fans over Sabres fans over the last 10+ Seasons?

I don’t see a role for him on the Sabres. Not going to play on the PP, not a guy you pair with Power

What network ? The coverage on Sportsnet is pathetically geared towards the leafs.

ROR is spent. Actually the age and the lack of pace throughout the leafs line up is really showing up

Samson!!! What a play

I like that he has only 1 Dman in the top 12. 3 now that I’m really interested in Reinbacher (probably going in top 10) Willander and Simashev

I’d rather Towes Even if he played 35-40 games thann Kane really not interested in either

For us in Canada it’s also the media. it used to be the players back in the day…Domi, Tucker Can’t say I hate any of there current leafs I hate. - maybe Matthews and the moustache

Why would you want Tage back to the wing?

Thank you for saying this. Absolutely right! You haven’t experienced their obnoxious fans that come to Buffalo?

I was glad to be wrong

Nope. Didn’t you watch the Sportsnet post game? the way the leafs played in the third you should they will be very confident going to Florida according to the panel

Leafs will get a controversial power play here

Would love to have him on the Sabres

Yes. 3-0 in this game

Would love to know what it’s like to cheer for a team where you knew ahead of time you would get all the calls

8-1

No penalty there I bet. Not against a leaf so far 7 vs panthers. 1 vs leafs in a game and a half.

Wow ROR and Tavares showing their age Soooooooooooo slow

I’m not sure about that. Pretty sure Risto has a lot of detractors. If the Sabres are interested in Zadorov, I’m sure they will do their due diligence. I believe what I’m hearing about his game and think he would be a great pick up for the bottom pair

Exactly. Win the puck battles. Be strong. Take the hit when it’s there but don’t go running around looking for it

I’m just wondering if you have any evidence of this over the last 2 years ? all I hear / read from flames fans and commentators is how is game has matured You wouldn’t consider the flames D deep? and yes I want him on the bottom pair

Who are the sandpaper on the Devils and the Hurricane? How about the Oilers? I find it interesting that not one of the top 10 teams in hits per game are still alive. but 5 of the bottom 10 in hits are Do A LOT ( and I mean a lot) of posters here over estimate the importance of hitting and grit?
