I think the Sabres don’t have a problem on the wing, especially if Johansson is moved back there a true 2C and I think they become a legit playoff team

Right now, the question should be “who’s next behind McDavid - Eichel or MacKinnon?” Matthews has fallen fairly substantially behind

Actually I wanted to watch an elite player playing for the Sabres. Did you get just upset when anti tankers took their shots over the last couple of years?

It has everything to do with old arguements. the only reason the Sabres have an Elite Center is because of the tank

Are we all now in agreement that the tank was worth it? Even the staunchest of anti tankers must admit that watching him play now was worth the pain And really, 6 years of being terrible has sucked but how much worse is being terrible than being mediocre? Now we get to see a true super star play for the Sabres One of top 5 must watch players in the entire league. Wait till Dahlin, claims his spot as one of the top 3 dmen in the world! and UPL claims one of the top 5 ... ok now I’m getting carried away thank you Tim Murray for pulling off the “tank”!

Imagine Sabres twitter rage if that was McCabe, Bogo or Risto with that turnover and not Scandella and his Gx% ?

I would assume Florida over Toronto. Leafs are a top heavy team that rely too much on their Goaltender playing out of his mind.. If they don't find a back up, i can see Andersen getting hurt or fading down the stretch.

this might have been discussed up thread but wouldn't Eichel be in top 3 for Hart at the moment?

I thought JB said that UPL just needed a few starts in Cincinnati before going to Rochester? Thought it was sometime around Christmas

I would waive Hutton. Maybe someone picks him up but with his contract probably not. Hammond can back up until UPL is ready. UPL will be on the Sabres next season. Not sure how many starts but I believe he will be NHL ready to pair with Ullmark.

Thinking the same.

Why is skinner still on PP1?

The first one was pretty stinky

Time to make a statement. waive Hutton and bring up Hammond.

Embarrassing

Decline

I might be wrong but I do think they are 1 for 1 playing Risto in front of the net on the PP. why they Haven’t gone back to that is beyond me!

I agree that I think Johansson isn't the long term answer at 2C. I'm hoping Cozens can fit into that role but as we are learning with Mitts, playing C in the NHL is a tough task for a young player. I think, we still have to hope that Mitts can eventually find his way OR they trade for one...though, i have no idea who that would be.

I think a 2C is the pressing need at this time - Moves Johansson back to wing or 3C. Though, Im liking Asplund / Larsson combo as 3C /4C at the moment though. In boston was Johansson playing RW?

If you see a list ranking the top centres in NHL and they have Matthews ranked higher than Eichel. Rip up the list and throw it in the trash

He needs to find a 2nd line Center don’t know who, don’t know how but has to happen

That’s like saying adding Matthews to Eichel isn’t going to help of course it’s going to help. But it’s sooo unlikely, not worth worrying about

If they win lottery and land Byfield. Things will change quickly.

Firing is just not going to help. They’ve fired 3 head coaches, on their 2nd GM.

I’ve watched every single Sabres game live or via PVR since I can remember - well before the tank today is the last time I will arrange my schedule around the Sabres. Just not worth it. I’ll PVR, check the score and maybe watch if win. Gotta hope the ping pong balls bounce our way once again. need that 2nd line Center and only place you get one of those is at top of the draft. Unless you get a team dumb enough to trade one. (Insert eye-roll)
