But we aren’t taking about someone with tons of upside here. What if the trade doesn’t work out for whatever reason, and Buffalo doesn’t get the better of it? Does that mean it’s high risk too? All for acquiring him, by the way, and I honestly think that’s the style of player they are moving towards.

Low risk/low reward, medium reward at most.

Yes, but even off air. Seriously, does no one tell him that he is repeatedly calling Miller by the wrong name? It’s honestly embarrassing for him.

If RJ is going to keep calling games, he needs someone sitting next to him who is smart enough to give him corrections.

The Sabres just discovered this new concept of blocking the goalies view. Someone wanted to call it a “screen” but was reminded that you can in fact see through a screen. They are still workshopping the name.

TF is this, lol

Colin Smith is/was an NHL player, but never for Buffalo. RJ is not very good at this anymore.

@inkman

What did he say??? I like Duff.

Worse. They are fixed.

I would not be interested in bringing him into my organization. Divisive personality.

Off ice stuff? I haven’t heard anything specific recently, but I get the strong impression that he is a real piece of work.

I didn’t say he is a good coach. I have never said that. But if you are going criticize the coach, come with something real (there is plenty) instead of some made up trash.

Not even. President. It’s a business management role. Like what Kim Pegula is to the Sabres.

Oh, ok. You are just full of it.

Who TF is a soccer coach?! Does it not even matter if the things that we say are true??? Do you know that Krueger wasn’t a soccer coach, or are you uninformed?

I’ve been saying repeatedly that with them both being so complete offensively, it’s going to more a 50/50 thing with them, not a Eichel feeds Hall thing. They would both be playmaking and both be finishing. They BOTH need to start scoring! But if you want to get annoyed and think I’m saying that Hall is not a goal scorer or whatever, that’s fine.

Hutton. Guess what. It’s not all better now that his eyes are “fixed”.

Cool that he said that, but he shoots the puck way more than anyone on the team, including Hall. Hall and Eichel. It’s not going to be one guy feeding the other all the time. They are both so dynamic that its going to be more fluid/creative than that. Honesty, I couldn’t care less as long as they find a way to make it work. That is, if they end up back together often.

Jack really isn’t that though. Few players in the league shoot the puck more than Jack does. He is top 10 in the league every year. Jack is of course a very good playmaking C, but he shoots the puck A LOT. Honestly, both Hall and Eichel play very complete offensive games. They can both do it all on that end of the ice and I’m wondering if they are trying not to step on each other’s toes when they are out there together. That’s why I, and others think it’s likely they would do better separated.

While, I don’t think that Hall has been great this season, your phrasing here is misleading. Over his career, Hall is as good a puck carrier and playmaker as he is a goal scorer.

Breakaways and shootouts are not the same thing.

So, wasn’t able to watch yesterday, but I caught the highlights this morning. Thoughts........ I don’t think Ullmark has been very good lately, and he didn’t look very good in this game. He is pretty consistently letting in at least 1 bad goal per game. Sabres scored a PP goal with Dahlin, Hall, Olofsson, Lazar and Risto out there. Weird. Was that after Eichel got hit in the face? At one point I would have considered myself a Risto hater, but he has definitely been his best self this season. What does everyone think the difference is for him? How did Dahlin look? Staal looks like he is rounding into form nicely the past couple games. He is slow, but he has a big body, good hands, good shot, and just knows what to do/where to be out there. I don’t expect the scoring pace to continue, but Reider has been better than I thought he would be. He really does bring something that last year’s team lacked. More speed and aggressiveness from the bottom 6. I can’t believe that Reinhart actually missed a game! Did anyone check the obits?

Those unis are terrible. They don’t look appealing, but even from a practical standpoint, they are so dark that from distance it’s difficult to make out the numbers during play. It probably looked better up close in a boardroom than it does on tv, but navy blue numbers, on a navy blue jersey, with gray trim is just a dumb idea. All they had to do was use white (or a cream color like you said) instead of gray to improve these significantly. Also, McDavid’s goal in that game was awesome. He made it look pretty easy though.

Being realistic, it’s just not going to happen. By so far, do you mean 3 games? I think we should give it a few more games. The alternative is paying him $6M with a cap hit of $4.9M to not be on the roster.
