Hello, Scott Arneil!!!!
I'm going to google the name and number now to see if I am correct and check his stats!!!
He was a good all around player, but lets hope Benson is better!
Go Sabres!
Leave Mitts at center and have Greenway play with Cozens and Peterka, one winger is on his off wing no big deal, and that line would be better defensively to start the year.
Why does everyone keep lumping Mitts and V.O. together. One was on our top line and the other has never really done anything meaningful even when given every opportunity. IMO Mitts only scores goals in garbage time after the game is long decided and will not be a playoff performer. Time to try something else as the Sabres are playing well enough to try and win now, while still developing the younger guys. Kerbs currently is Mitts 2.0 so why not go with him and add someone else into the lineup.
Go Sabres!
It seems he is fit to be the Sabres 2C or 3C with defensive responsibilities. He will need to chip in with around 20 goals, and 50 points for the Sabres to be legit playoff contenders.
Also what is a top 6 Centre? Top 6 forward on our team or Top 6 Centre across the league?
IMO, Give him the "C" and sign him to a one-year extension now, during camp. If we are not close to making the playoffs and he is not in the top 9ish offensive players you move him at the deadline. Having another year of control and being our captain only increases his value. Trying to get him to sign a one year deal after the season when he is a URFA and team captain only seems more difficult.
ps but lets hope we are competing for a playoff spot!!!
pps "Playoffs you are talking about the playoffs?" Jim mora 🙂
All non-playoff teams play a toilet bowl tournament with draft order determined by who wins is the first pick and so on...so bad teams make moves to win the non playoff draft race and stay competitive all year instead of tanking.
problem solved
go Sabres
But why sell low, keep him and hope he does well then move him as younger players take his place...as in force him out of the line-up...until then play to win!
The only trades I would like to see are trades that bring back better players from teams who need cap relief. Don't sell low on our players who still have room to grow.
p.s. Go Adams!!!
p.p.s. Go Sabres!!!
IMO none, Hopefully they sign a legit top D-man with their cap space and bring in a couple of legit wingers with toughness, grit, and skill to create competition. We can just sit back and watch this team develop into a winner!!!
Go Sabres!!!!
