    Maybe we should give it another year to see what he does before anointing him the chosen one? 

    If you trade Oky-Lan Kposobi, he'll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine in the form of...  l wonder if they mean Old Ben(son)? 

     

    For the record, I'm not worried about his size or skating or shot. From ages 18-22 Reinhart filled out and became a better skater, Dahlin's shot went from middling to pretty darn solid. But, I want him to be protected by the lineup from burnout or over-reliance until he's ready to reach his full potential. He shouldn't be relied on to be on the PP and PK as a 19 year-old next season.

    Close to a 30 goal pace without having played many games in his career - impressive.

    I'll add, we're a little unlucky with his injuries. I think we would have made it had he been healthy - then how would everyone feel about our team?

    If the Sabres were in a playoff spot right now, we’d acknowledge they’re a flawed and young team dying for the playoff experience to find out what they really need to do for the future. 

    And we’d be happy. There’s lots to improve and still a good season. The foundation is there. 

    Alas…

    Noah Östlund’s SHL Season ended today, he is eligible to report to the Amerks now. 
     

    He was held out for injury from the game today though 

    Some good, some bad in that. It’d be awesome to get him acclimated in a few playoff games. But if he’s dinged up, let him rest, recuperate, and then hit the weights all summer.

    “Since the Sabres last made the playoffs, every other team in the NHL has played at least 14 playoff games, 30 teams have played at least 25 playoff games and 20 teams have played at least 50. Six franchises have played 100 or more postseason games since the Sabres played their most recent playoff game in April 2011.”

    Sure enough... the Kraken got their 14 games in in just one playoff appearance. The Kraken have more playoff wins than the Sabres do since 2008.
