I used to be sad because of how vile the targeted comments around here got, directed towards JE. Now what makes me a little sad is the total lack of self awareness Exactly Ya, I had stopped doing this all year. I really thought it was over. That’s ok im thinking I’m back

You are completely proving my point. A ham handed, one sided skew that takes so little context into the equation as to render your opinion truly meaningless. Rampant bias. I suppose I thought “radio silence” because I’ve been staying out of the jack discussions on here during the year, I only assumed since he was having such a good season, best player on the best team in the west (this is where so much bias comes in - you’ll do anything other than admit he’s been the best player on a very good team - that he WAS capable of being that all along. That we didn’t construct that scenario here is a Sabres problem, not a Jack problem), that we WOULD be getting radio silence as you folks have been objectively proven so definitively wrong. I suppose I underestimated your ability to fib to yourself The fact we had so many guys with POINTZ and they did not, yet they are in first, and we are not, shows how lacking your analysis is of what you need to construct both a winning team and successfully bind players to that formula You are totally blind if you haven’t noticed the fact that Vegas missing the playoffs last season was met with “coach killer, cancer”. Yet the knights solidly making it this year was met with “meh, just along for the ride.” It makes me disappointed for your posting quality

“Run it back”

Dahlin will definitely come in at a shade below 10 per. Over 8 years, of course

Dude winnipeg has been ass in the playoffs all but one season. I see them a lot. I’ll continue rooting on their downfall as my most hated team the Jack doesn’t elevate in playoffs after 1 game is just more painfully evident bias he also wasn’t good enough to be the best player on a playoff team and Buffalo was going to make it first. It’s just endless goal post moving.

2/3 3/3 woulda had us in oh well, hopefully next season

I’m not sure fairness ever applies but it would feel ridiculously unfair to get poached already when we are just finding our way, after searching for so long. That’s the world of business I guess. Hope they can shuffle to avoid it, owner’s money could be key here

And, yes, I understand the playbook. All the good stuff was “team effort”, all the bad stuff is “a cancer inflicting the whole team”. So, the good is only correlation and the bad is only causation. It’s a position that’s impossible to logically square, ie, it’s simply rampant bias, but, I do get it. At the very least it’s convenient

I think you are probably projecting because 9/10 of your posts involve some long diatribe evaluating other posters/fans

Radio silence all year while jack, as their best player, guided them to 1st overall in the west and you folks crawl outa the woodwork after 1 playoff game lol rent free. and, it’s winnipeg. They’ll blow this

Dungeons and Dragons was really fun. Second rated film so far this year after JW4 A couple legit lol moments

We’re really still doing the Comrie thing? The goaltending might be looking better going forward but the only way we can say goaltending has been addressed adequately is if it being adequately assessed in either of the last 2 seasons didn’t matter. The results between the pipes have been bad so far. Is it okay to say that? Actually asking

Yea. It’s jumping the shark at this point

Bruins. No Bergeron, no problem. Too much depth.

He posted a list that the Sabres adhered to, to a T?

Bruins coming down with the flu could be disastrous

I think I’m just a proponent of filling in a deep Centre spine as much as possible. Loading up lines leads to a maximization of pointz, for those involved, I think spreading out your C talent leads to mismatches, and wins

I’m sure we’d be fine if Tage played wing. But, being pretty old fashioned, if Tage and Cozens are our 2 best offensive (all around) players next season, as was mentioned as possibly being the case, id much prefer each locking down a centre role in the top 6. I’m still of the belief that a prime luxury of having your most adept all around forwards at C is the allowance for them to elevate their line mates. The wingers are already pretty good - I wouldn’t cut into the value Cozens provides in the middle to load up 1 line, I think the most overall value is achieved through spreading the wealth a bit.

Heaping helping of positive outlook, with a small side of caution re:ability to replicate

I’m still unclear as to whether you think KA will bring in a goalie next year..can you expand on this?

I honestly don’t see KA bringing in a vet goalie to the tune of anyone suggesting the guy will be a 1A/1B with Levi. Doesn’t seem KA’s MO, I think he’ll want Levi to be thinking the crease is clearly his. I think he brings in a NEW backup, but clearly a backup in projection. The criteria KA will be looking for in this addition is the ability to play a back-up’s load and not a split-starter’s load.

His best ever season, yes?

You’ve suggested more than 1 trade proposal with him headed to the Jets. I remember.

Vibes/atmosphere/culture obviously matter to KA To not throw them a bone and give either the start in a meaningless game, when they haven’t played in a while, really to me doesn’t seem to be the actions of a GM very concerned with keeping their morale up It could be confirmation bias on my part because they’ve been so poor... but then again, they’ve been so poor
