Yep. You can’t each that shot and playing with Eichel has fit like a glove in the few games to end last season and now picking up right where it left off in, albeit preseason. Give him pp1 ice time (I think sabres power play will be top half of the league) and he’s going to score a lot of goals.

VO is going to score 30 goals and win ROY. I’m being serious.

This is where all the problems come in. The cap implications. Buffalo is right up against the cap, along with 80 percent plus of the league. Buffalo can’t take salary back to sweeten any deal.

I had this thought last night too. Is he rookie eligible I take it? If he plays top line with Sam and jack and first line power play I could (knock on wood) see him scoring close to 30 and having a real look.

Oh for sure. Injuries are so random. As are slumps, hot goaltenders and just plain puck luck. All of those factors have a major influence on the final result but the goal is to be one of those top 5 or 6 too teams and hope it plays out right.

That may be true but he is going to kill this team if hes playing second line minutes.

I think this is where I'm at. I would be very surprised if this team wasn't better than last year baring injury (didn't really lose anyone and added Olofsson who I think is going to be very good, MJ, Miller, Joker and Vesey. Any coaching we get this year should also be an upgrade. At the same time there's a huge disappointment waiting because JBott didn't do enough. I don't want 85 points, we need 95 and make the damn playoffs. Been too long and it would be shocking if our forward group and potentially goal tending are good enough for that.

Wow just imagine a Risto trade for a legit top 6 right winger. That knocks okposo to the fourth line and our forward group doesn’t look so bad.

Now that Faulk is out of the way does chatter start to heat up on Risto?

No. The clubs came the same time as the thumbs up down and I believe gif features. SDS can correct me if I’m wrong but those all came as part of the platform upgrade and not as a result of this thread.

This. Personally I never look at the club feature. I will if need be but by extension I assume others are like me in that regard.

Hey I got my first win!!

Indeed you did. I don’t know if it’s the NFL who issues the correction later or Yahoo. I suspect it’s the NFL as I believe yahoo uses the official stats for their scoring. Nor do I know which day it usually comes out.

Yes that is the answer. You actually have two guys on the correction list. Henry got a plus .10 but micheal got a minus .20. With the net of minus .10 it was enough to give you the loss. Talk about a game of inches. You lost by less than a single rushing yard.

Yes it had to have been a stat correction. Here is the link to the players that were impacted. Do you or Pi have any of them? https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/788501/statcorrections?week=2

Looks like you lost last week by 0.06 to Pi.

The way nylander ‘developed’ in the A, I have no problem where he’s playing. Let him rip up the chl and stay healthy this year young man. He’s a couple of years away but for a 94th pick from a couple of years ago I’m fine with where he’s at and where’s he’s playing.

What do you mean bumped down? Bumped to roch? Or centring the third line? I would love to see Mitts centring the third line (even if Johonsson isn’t the answer at 2c).

Well I think the sabres plan was montour until his injury. I’m still leery of pairing Dahlin with someone else so inexperienced

Ya no kidding..... https://www.nhl.com/news/jack-eichel-of-sabres-sidelined-weeks-with-injury/c-282615994

Man, if there was anyway to pry him out of Tampa......

I thought Joker played the right side? He on his off-hand? Anyone know if he has any experience with this or is this just a result of our glut at RHD? Also, it looks like that Scandella - Miller pairing is something they like. I believe they were also paired in Phase 1 of camp?

If a decent upgrade is on the table today you take it. If not, I'm fine with the bolded approach. I'm not trading Risto for a third line forward unless there is already something worked out with another team to utilize the $6 mil cap space for something else.
