You hated Schoenfeld? The guy came to our church and played guitar with our priest to support a big fundraiser. He was kind and generous with his time while in Buffalo. I met him three times and he was a gentleman all the way. What do he do to you?
He was not overrated either. He was a hard worker that laid it on the line.
The other 'Punch' said he should have traded him years before. Once he found god, he stopped fighting and being the tough guy that made him effective.
Constantly out of position, lived off a reputation from his first couple years.
It's great that he was nice to you and did stuff for his church, I was referring to his on ice performance, not his off ice. But you make part of my point of him being overrated, your first reaction is how nice a guy he is, which is why all the old ladies loved him back then. But that has nothing to do with hockey.
And this is just one play, but when Kelley scored the cup winner in 1975, right off the faceoff, Schoenfeld is a center ice for some stupid reason and the front of our net is wide open , right where he should have been. Very typical of him. But people don't care, they love him anyway.

While I hated Schoenfeld, the most overrated player in Sabres history, it's pretty funny that 2 of the 3 here lamenting his trade spelled his name incorrectly.

I might have the same sources that you do because I have heard the same thing.
That team may never get close (in Buffalo, anyway) if Quinn did not push for the Chris Drury trade.
Wouldn't have got close with Nolan instead of Ruff.

I can just imagine if we still had Eichel he'd be mouthing "blah blah blah" behind Johnson as he said it.
Oh, and rolling his eyes of course.
and what's Eichel doing instead? Celebrating his name on the Cup.

If we don't trade him before the season, he needs to get quality minutes and produce or else his trade value disappears. If he plays well, should we even trade him?

Karlsson wins because of his scoring.
Dahlin out scores Lindholm by 20 points and finishes 4 spots behind him.
Voters probably thought he played a big role in Boston winning 65 games.

Power really should have won--he is better than Beniers and Wrong Skinner--but let's also keep in mind that Myers won the thing.
OK. So reruns of Law and Order it is!
I'm pretty confident in saying that if Levi puts up Skinner numbers, 50 games, 29 wins..., not only will Sabre fans expect ROY, but MVP consideration as well. Skinner had a tremendous season for a rookie goalie. No shame in Power finishing 3rd, and he got better every game he played as the season wore on.

I’ve said it before, I fully expect him to be in Buffalo next year.
besides you, why aren't we talking more about him?

Here's my question, can Tuch be what Eichel was in the playoffs? I think it's a real possibility.
Tuch seems like one of those players that would rise to the occasion. I hope we get a chance to see it.
He has 33 points in 66 games with Vegas and he was 20 years old when they went to the finals, pretty young kid.

I don't care enough about John John either way.
Happy for him and his teammates to have won the cup. The hardest trophy to win in pro sport.
My problem is that their team is based in Vegas. I don't like when these non-hockey market teams win it.
If Vegas stinks next season the arena will be empty.
Seems like a hockey market to me. They have a hockey team, they fill the arena, they support the team...
The arena will be empty? Like that hockey market of Buffalo recently?

You're right with the sentiment of your post, but I think Vancouver might be an outdated example. Unless of course access to Fentanyl is high on your list of quality of life.
You don't have to take Fentanyl if you don't want to. I doubt this is a big issue in players deciding wear to play.

Awesome…
Will help recruit and retain the type of player Adams prefers… Focused on family, community, and team.
No place for Showboats and AllAboutMe types.
and how many players are concerned about the cost of rent, groceries, restaurants... we are giving multi-million dollar contracts to kids 20 years old.
I would think a ranking based on players considerations would be more accurate.

Whoever trades for Olofsson, put down $20 on them winning the cup next season.

Still not sure how management turning a 37-point team into a 91-point team, armed with one of the best groups of U25 talent and cap situations in the league in 2 years is "not trying to win", but OK.
I said they do want to win, but they're not in a big hurry. Vegas, while certainly in a different situation, tried to win the cup from day 1.
They would have tried to fix their goaltending if they tried to win this past season.

I think Jack's point is that the Sabres didn't surround him with the talent needed to win while he was here.
I don't think he was giving one second of thought to what the Sabres have done since he was traded in that answer.
Yeah, you're correct. But his comment still can apply to the current squad.

Meh. The Sabres' goal is to win. They have been inept, not misguided.
It's to win in a few years, Adams didn't make significant moves at the deadline or to get a playoff caliber goalie yet.
Yeah, I think they want to win, but they're in no hurry.
I think that's Jack's point. And he's spot on.

Fun fact, Alex Tuch and Rasmus Dahlin are only Buffalo Sabres because of Eichel if you think about it. Honestly, I'm grateful for him.
Now if we can only make the playoffs someday, we'll have the last laugh.

Ok. Sure. Who is Buffalo over 53 years? Just want to know who to blame ?
The city... it's the only consistent factor in the 53 years. It's just cursed.

The strange nature of sports. Vegas in almost no time in its existence wins a cup and other cities like us languish indefinitely and can only dream.
Strong management. It all starts at the top.

maybe not like crap, but all the criticism that goes along with a 12 year drought while trading away future cup winners, conn smyth winner(s)... ,
Sabres traded that made you sad to see them go

No, it's not on the coach or the ref(lol). It was stupid play at the worst moment. Watch the video.

Geez, just watched the Clement goal for the first time probably since 1975, Schoenfeld was even further out of position on that goal.
