Will Borgen revenge game. He’s played every game for them averaging around 15 minutes a game. Still wish he was a Sabre. He’s exactly what they need.
Borgen Is a healthy Samuelson?😜

In 2016, Drew Doughty won the Norris, despite having 31 less points than Erik Karlsson

Yes because Fantilli is being compared to them .
Read up
I wasn’t saying he was. I was reacting your point that implied Franchise wingers = Franchise centers, and I was disagreeing. I did not declare that Fantilli was going to be a franchise center. If you don’t think he will be, why not just refute that, instead of making a completely separate point.

Hopefully he doesn't that award lost its meaning and how special it was .
all you have to do is score a ton of points
If that was the case, why didn’t Roman Jodi win last year when he had 10 more points than Makar?
or in 2021 with Tyson Barrie leading defenseman in points?
Or in 2019 with Brent Burns leading defenseman by 9 points and still losing
or in 2018 when Hedman was 5th in scoring but won.
Leading defenseman in points is special anyways, even though it doesn’t gurantee the Norris.
Something interesting to note: what was a better predictor of Norris winning was points+ +\-, which I tested for the past 5 years and each year was correct except 2020, in which Fox was 2nd.

Something not being mentioned in the above discussions: say we signed Dahlin for 8 years after his ELC. He ends up 29 when his contract ends. It would have been cheaper contract, but when it’s up we either re-sign with term or likely lose him. Now if we sign him for 8 after his contract ends, he will be 32 and a good age to move on from, or signed to a more reasonable deal.

So there was that rumour about a week ago that the Sabres were looking at Josh Anderson. I wonder if it had legs.
Maybe they are looking for another Tuch like winger with size that can bring wheels and can go retrieve pucks. Would allow Tuch to drive a second line.
I hope not. He’s overpaid.

The disrespect, Game 3 and the Sabres are already getting the backup goalie
Skinner has been the better goalie so far, Campbell on Saturday allowed 4 goals on 11 shots, after which he was pulled and Skinner was 31/31 for saves.

Ok can someone sum up the first for me? I know the score; did I miss anything important?
Sabres played overall fairly well, but gave up too many odd man rushes overall. We got our chances, but they had a few more quality ones. Sabres haven’t been afraid of confrontation so far.

You are all acting like this is normal hes 41 years old he looked like Top 10 NHL Goalie last night .
We all could be witnessing the tom brady of the NHL this year
Did you also watch Carter Hutton’s start to his first 2 seasons here and think he was a top 10 goalie? Hutton had more impressive games and tanked the rest of the season. 1 game is a horrible sample size for a goalie.

Dude!!
What's up ??
You usually rip into everybody.
Considering he wanted to raise up the pitchforks before the game about Anderson starting, maybe this is his way of saying he’s eating crow?

Anyone else a bit upset re: Peterka over Hinnostroza and Bryson over Pilut? IMO both Peterka and Bryson looked terrible in preseason (though to be fair I wasn't really watching training camp practices or keeping up with info on twitter). I'll trust Donny Meatballs for now though, even though I think Hinnostroza and Pilut make the team better, at least in the short term.
I think Bryson demonstrated that he belongs in the NHL last year even if his roll should be as a 6/7. I’d pick him over Fitzgerald and Pilut despite not a great pre-season.
JJP over Hiney is a more debatable call, as JJP has not proven himself in the NHL. Last year, JJP started slow in the AHL last year, and once he adjusted to the league he dominated. Granato definitely believes in development through exposure, and it seems that he values the growth JJP will have over the struggles we may see early on. It wouldn’t surprise me if Granato saw JJP as a borderline NHLer now but could be a strong 2nd liner by season end.
Of course, he also could think JJP is ready for that third line roll now, more so than Hiney.

The Norris Deal is an interesting comparison, and if he has outperformed Noriss it is only by a small margin:
-Over the past 2 years, Norris has 52 goals in 125 games. Robertson has 58 goals in 128 games. Robertson has more assists, but both last year scored more goals than had assists.
-Josh Norris is playing Center. Like it or not, teams tend to value a guy who is a potential first line center a bit more than a potential first line winger with similar production.
-The dollars per year are almost the same, the Norris deal might actually be cheaper long term as it is longer and will be less of a cap hit in later years in terms of percentage of cap.
-They are both the same age
-The only other difference is 'pedigree'. Norris was a mid 1st round pick, Robertson was an early 2nd.
When you compare those 2 guys...their age....their production....the deal Robertson got is probably right where it should be based on Norris.
I would definitely say it’s more than a small margin: over the last 2 years, Robertson had had 124 points in 125 games with 58 goals, compared to Norris’ 90 points in 122 games and 52 goals. Robertson was averaging .25 more points per game than Norris, that’s not particularly close. (Pretty much the difference ppg wise of Tage Thompson and Okposo last year)

I take this loss with a grain of salt, Columbus was playing with a lot more proven NHL talent than we were.
