I wouldn’t trust these much this year with players who played extra short seasons. It’s a rough year to go heavy off of numbers.

Sergachev is easy. Chychrun is the name I never know how to spell. Lol

Can’t believe you spelled Chychrun right but the other two wrong.

Love Rossi. Worry a little bit about what he went through with Covid and if it will have any long term effects on him.

Couldn’t watch in slow motion, but I don’t see it. Generally if someone is getting the crap beat out of them, I can tell in regular speed.

Landeskog did not beat him up. It was kind of a draw. Also, looked like Schenn was probably the one who initiated it.

I’ve heard that while it’s true that aliens are scouting the earth, they are just looking for a 1C.

This guy gets it. How could a Sabres fan NOT know that acronym after these past 8 years?

Why do you say that he can’t score? Skinner had a NMC. That’s why he was able to choose exactly where he would go, just like Hall with his NMC. Reinhart doesn’t have a NMC.

I thought they just had all dressed potato chips and maple syrup

He is great obviously, but I worry a little that he might not stick at C. Nit picking because even at W he could be a dynamic guy who controls plays. Just would prefer a more true 2-way guy ideally.

McAdams and Granbeano???

Been considered this as well. I’m thinking that if Eichel must be traded, and a legit current top-6 C isn’t coming in the trade, then just keep Reinhart. If he is on a 1 year deal, move him at the deadline if out of contention, but I don’t want Mitts and Cozens to just get buried every night and Sabres to be DFL again.

I do think that Columbus could be a sleeper contender to go after Eichel because their GM is willing to actually take risks. Howver, Jones is not appealing to me with just one year on his contract then UFA. Also, Nick Foligno isn’t a C, so I hope that 2C thing wasn’t part of what your guy heard from his source.

Did you forget to take your meds or did you accidentally take them twice? 😉

It’s many times easier in the offseason than at the trade deadline.

I would do 7x6 or maybe even 8 yrs for Reinhart, but I really think he just wants to go elsewhere. Generally teams are not able to clear $10m in space midseason.

Karmanos said in an interview a few days ago that they weren’t pursuing the PoHO route. Brawndo made a thread about the interview.

Not awesome, but not the worst. Rossi, Boldy, Addison, Erickson-Ek, Fiala, Dumba, Greenway. I don’t know their interest level but they have some pieces.

This is a good post. While I can accept that trading Eichel, Reinhart and Risto may be something that this team needs to do. I can not accept that this team needs to be bottom 5 for a couple years.

A few questionable decisions yes, but no GM makes all great moves. They certainly aren’t ruined cap-wise. When you have a very good team for so many years, you are going to be capped out. Also, he wouldn’t be coming in to be GM.

That play actually will have a positive impact on “fancy stats”.

There are quite a few Sabres players from the past couple years out there on good playoff teams, so I actually they would play kind of like that. It’s just that the team is so rarely in a truly competitive atmosphere like that. To trade or to watch walk for nothing? That is the question.

This season is almost impossible to model I’m sure. Also, how do you model missing a whole season after catching Covid and almost dying of an inflamed heart? I’m a little concerned about Rossi going forward. What if he loses 2%? 5%? 10% of his heart function? What does that do to him as a hockey player?
