  1. Is Bryson in the Top 6? Is the D set?

    in The Aud Club

    Posted · Edited by JoeSchmoe

    Jacob Bryson is playing really good hockey. In my books he's in our top 6. Last I heard, our record with him in the lineup is well into the plus side. Advanced stats have him up there. Here's are my D pairings for next year, emphasizing competition to stay in the lineup.

    Byram-Dahlin

    Samuelson-Power

    Bryson-Joki

    Johnson-Clifton

    The 5 to 8 D should be a competition all year. If you're good, you play, if not you don't. But right now, Bryson plays.

    Edit: inserted 5 on 5 relative ExGf%

    It's just the opposite with me. Every time I watch he looks shaky.

    Haven't watched at all, but .924 doesn't sound shaky, especially on a 5th place team in the division.

  6. Sabres Trade Erik Johnson to Philadelphia for a 2024 4th Round Pick

    Dahlin has a lot of heart and talent.  It's not going so well at this point in his career.  Blame the rest of the roster and the GM and Coach?  Ok.
    Leadership and IQ matter as well.  EJ, from my ~70 game view, had both.  I'm not saying Dahlin can't continue to grow. And I think Power has the brain, he's just not well coached.  On to next season.

    If we had a team full of Dahlin's we'd be planning the parade now. We suck because he's the only one we got with both heart and talent. 

    You'll be hard pressed to find anyone that agrees with you about EJ.  He was terrible through and through. Eye test. Old fashioned stats. Advanced stats. He was a drag on CO when they didn't resign him, he was a drag on us, now he's Philly's problem.

  10. Byram realized buffalo has zero coaching

    Granted I had the sound down, but I only noticed him direct traffic once.

    I also see him skate into traffic (without the puck) where we already had two guys.

    I agree that being more mobile is what the PP needs, but I think the twitter clip is greatly exaggerating all the good Byram is doing.

  11. GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ Nashville Predators 3-7-2024 8pm MSG Radio 55

    I'm not buying anymore tix to games until the Sabres are sitting in a playoff spot more than 10 games into the season. 

    I thought about starting a new thread on this but I'm too lazy.

    The only way I see us making the playoffs is if we trade some of our pint sized prospects for actual good NHL players. These players would then replace Okposo, Girgensons, Robinson, and the rest of the scrubs we're trot out year after year.

  15. Casey Mittelstadt traded for Bowen Byram

    Here are the Sabres top 9 for 2024/25 after this trade

    Skinner TNT Tuch

    JJP Cozens Quinn

    Benson Krebs Greenway

    Is that a play caliber forward group?  I guess it could be if Krebs, JPP, Quinn, and Benson are all better next year and TNT Cozens rebound from their terrible 23/24 seasons.

    Apparently great minds think alike.

    We are worse next year. Byram was a net negative on a very good team. Unless he improves greatly, he's going to suck on the Sabres. But because he's the shiny new toy, we're going to play the crap out of him. Meanwhile, we're missing Casey's production.

    Because our GM is incompetent.  

    The biggest tragedy of this deal is Krebs, who is not good, is now our 3rd line center and will be next year.

     

    Agreed. And none of our countless tiny forward prospects are looking anywhere near ready for next year. Kulich has dropped back greatly. Savoie is too small to be NHL ready. The other guys are at least 2 years away.

  19. Suspect Moneypuck Expected Goal Model

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    I'll admit I use the Moneypuck stats quite a bit. Tonight it says we had 2.645 expected goals for. That is ridiculously low IMO. We had sooooo many golden chances... That's how we got 7 GF.  I'd say we should have at least been 4 xGF. 

    I get that not all our shot attempts got through and/or we missed the net, but we were buzzing all night.  

    Stats nerds... Any thoughts?

    Dunleavy is getting worse and worse. Was that the most boring OT winner call in the history of this organization?

    They have to get someone new for next year, absolutely have to do that. I would rather listen to the espn plus guys by a mile. 

    I'm not sure if you saw my comment a bit back. On the radio, I had absolutely no idea what was going on for the 3 on 3. TV, maybe you can let the picture do the talking, but on radio it was so disappointing to not be able to follow the play.
