Always look forward to awesome competitive October baseball. This has NOT been that. Combined records of series winners / teams leading series if Texas holds on today: 22-2 that is INSANE. boring. Series scores: 2-0 2-0 2-0 2-0 3-0 3-0 3-1 3-1 2-0* Yikes *pending today’s Houston /Texas result

If this is the case, I’d probably take at least a swing at switching VO out for the best looking rookie. I’d sacrifice the guys losing a bit of camaraderie

Ok, well then my answer to the question under those parameters is that I’d keep VO on the roster as I trust KA’s evaluation skills. He sure looks right on Benson. I like the swaps he’s made, so, I don’t believe I have any issues with his skills as a negotiator. (Not to mention, the contracts). Also, more evidence of strong pro scouting. I suppose if I had a guess then, based on the results achieved thus far and subject to change at the drop of a hat based on such, I’d say I merely have a strategic difference with Adams. If we were playing chess, I think I’d be a fair bit more willing to make sacrifices to get what I want.

Because I am so short

Why do we think Adams rostered Olofsson?

True enough. But it was only temporarily closed for renos, that’s why I got Chinese

For goal scorers next game I’ve got Benson, Krebs, Power, and Cody Franson

Re: Tage Thompson Last season, Tage had 12 streaks of 2 games or more where he didn’t register a goal Tage was goal-less in 44 of 78 games played: 56%. The majority of Sabres hockey games, Thompson did not score. He finished 6th overall for goals this is sorta just how goal scorers do and how math does in a broader sense it’s why McDavid doesn’t win the cup build a great team!

Yep. If a young guy is the best option, he should play. Granato has to do the best he can with the options Adams left to him

He’s trying very hard, and his strategy has been successfully implemented, and maintained whether it’s objectively successful relative to the league remains to be seen

if you want more detail than this you’ll need to find someone much smarter

We should be aiming higher than yet another rookie under the “next man up” strategy If a rookie truly represents our best option..that’s even worse

The bold is assuredly not good, but the rest is well-said

I agree. If we are good: full credit Adams If we are bad: Adams couldn’t have done any better It’s a good point

Picked up right where he left off as the best player in the league from last year’s playoffs

This was the year we were supposed to be able to shift these guys in to provide support to an already well-oiled machine. As of now, yet again, we are asking them the carry the mail. But, only 2 games. I’d imagine our top guys start shifting the balance a bit Whatever the number is, it’s relative to the rest of the roster Legit lol’ed

Talk to the hand, dude!

We just have to start rolling with the punches a little bit

They played much better today and there are guys who almost inconceivably won’t get better so I’m sure we’ll start winning at a more reasonable clip soon. Playoff team? Remains to be seen I hate Razoring out but “not a bad game”

Better light Power’s fuse now, it’ll take a while

I just propose the thinly veiled defences I don’t back them up with analytical data

I wouldn’t say no to a few additional metapods on D to your point, I’m not sure if we have the time to fart around looking for pikachu also thanks the viridian city song is now stuck in my head

But he wasn’t going to be in the opening night roster if not for Quinn, correct? So they planned on moving him, so what you say doesn’t really fit imo
