SABRES 0311

Well we have a second and third round pick. 6 goals and 6 assists in 44 games. 23 years old. Is this a third/fourth line LW acquisition?

TOR will beat WSH. Kadri with a hat trick.

Nylander, TOR, one goal in 20 games. Good thing they held out for him.

WSH and TOR is on. Good game so far. Ovi ran into Oshi which was funny.

Yes! No idea what it is for the cap but would be awesome. Who would be captain?

We should dump every forward except Jack and Skinner. Replace them with true AHL guys then get McDavid. Skinner-McDavid-Eichel Bunch If worthless guys Defense Goalie ?

The whole thing with EDM is strange. Rotating door of coaches and inability to prosper with number one picks. McDavid seems to be loyal to a fault.

Not even looking into stats and financials, how do any of those Chiarelli trades make sense? Was there some idea behind them as far as team identity goes or were they done just to do something?

Or until someone loses their love of the game. Seriously though I get excited the closer we get to the deadline. Sam for a real 2C as I said somewhere else.

Which is doable.

Sam’s place on this version of the Sabres is relative like any other player/team. Moving him for a real 2C wouldn’t exactly kill an Eichel/Skinner line.

I’ve pondered the secondary scoring issue as it relates to a JBott trade. I still don’t have a firm answer but with the time off I would like to see Sam take a shot at 2C and move ERod to Jack’s wing, Mitts on Sam’s wing. Barring an attempt to shake the roster up to this degree I am in favor of a trade for a 2C. This includes moving Sam to get it done if necessary.

If it’s going to happen they have to get the power play going. Seems like quite a few games this year were decided by one goal.

Too bad you didn’t go 2 for 2.

Wow. This thread went from buy KO out to “yaaaaaay!”. Humans, amiright?

A lot of skinny jean men in that bloodline I imagine.

With a 3.91 GAA and .867 SV%, Sabres need to embrace the shooting mentality. Pepper Demko with everything. This is a home game for him which should add to the nerves hopefully resulting in juicy rebounds. Crash the net on shot follow ups. Get in his face. Do not get too fancy out there. One or two passes in a north-south game. Possession is important but the kid has to be pressured. PP must move the puck. Sticking to the left side has not been working. This is where you can get fancy with player movement, puck movement simple.

I’d be curious to see ERod on Jack’s RW. Sam center FL2. Mitts center FL3. If so it would have to be against a lesser team during our home stand following the break.

I didn’t see the below posted among the arguments on stats. Skinner-Eichel-ReinhartSheary-Mittelstadt-ThompsonSobotka-Rodrigues-PominvilleGirgensons-Larsson-OkposoPilut-RistolainenDahlin-BogosianScandella-McCabeUllmark

I hate to give a BS answer but depends on the team. Also any sweetener we could spare. Some teams are heavy on good forwards, sacrificing their defense. Right team might get us something useful. Then again JBott pretty much made Carolina a member of the #METOO movement in the Skinner trade.

Was 50 here in Okinawa this morning but warmed up a bit. Summers are mild compared to hell.

Anyone know of a list by team of who is on the trading block?

Third of a three game trip. A win tonight may be the sign the Sabres are turning things around after hitting rock bottom in EDM. NS will take us to the promise land tonight. Edit: Must win!! Dahlin Dahlin Dahlin Dahliiiiiiiiin

With the player requesting a trade is it safe to say the return could be lower? The team won’t attract players to come to Buffalo if they just make him sit and at this point the right thing would be to trade him. So it’s a situation where they sort of have to which reduces their leverage on a return. Unless his improved play has teams calling then disregard this post.

Well we wanted JBott to do something.
