Analytics used are junk because the coach/system has too much influence on them than the player itself, and so are the people who use them as argument mic drops.

Would they actually take him? Immediate star

Scandella was one of the most egregious examples

Yes it was. He was overpaid to be a leader and he crashed into Tim Hortons before ever starting and set all the wrong examples

I wish we get to see a healthy Eichel under Granato. He always seemed held back by our systems to me. One of the fastest players in the league never had a breakaway because of the dogma.

You make your own luck when you play certain ways. Their shackles were loosened and we saw the players raw. And ‘busts’ turned into possibles again and all the ‘luck’ stats improved across the board. Sometimes players are better when they’re happier.

Islanders did just fine without Tavares

Crappy core is crappy

No he didn’t. He threw stuff at the wall and pretended anything that didn’t stick didn’t happen

People underestimate coaching impact but all your vet players being tainted by a decade of bad coaching isn’t fixable. Better to blow it up Our other GMs just moved the ancillary pieces. Risto/Reino/Eichel core has persisted

Oh my goodness end his bloodline this cannot stand

Beasley was Allen’s reliable 20 yard check down. We lost because the guy was playing with a broken leg. You don’t cut him.

We’re getting Power Need forwards on Eichel/Reinhart returns

I don’t understand how any Buffalo fan doesn’t understand that hot goaltending 100% dictates playoff performance. Every year.

Jack was also awful under Krueger. Coaching can destroy any player

Y’all talk about analytics like people are going to start color coding arbitrary models and using colored bar charts to assemble their teams without regard for anything else

He’s a future hall of famer. Has all the tools, is growing into his still very young body, and has an abysmal team around him being fixed

What do you want them to do? They went and signed a league MVP and went backwards then fired all involved. Now they’re going to trade away the entire core. Let them do it

This is what happens when you cater to every fee fee. It’s a slippery slope into this nonsense

They were impossible to watch until Granato took over

Bylsma was inexperienced? Nolan was inexperienced? Guess Jack Adam’s awards go to everybody Murray was inexperienced? Botterill was inexperienced? Terry meddled with Murray’s trades draft picks and coaching changes? Only time that happened was with the pink slip because Murray wouldn’t fire Bylsma This narrative about the Pegulas is exhausting

It’s fans thinking they know better than the owner. Don’t pretend people think adding layers and layers of management solves anything. Just like anything, everyone is wasting space until the right person comes along and we should be happy we aren’t running every guy out though the end of their contracts despite proving to be failures for money reasons. These reactionary fans weren’t alive for the Rigas and Golisano eras where we knew every season was our magical last chance because we all knew we couldn’t afford the pay raises anyone who shows competence in Buffalo deserves

Leader of losers

Bye felicia Dude shot a completely unsustainable 20%. Don’t touch his extension with a ten foot pole, Skinner 2.0

Jack believes his kook of a doctor just like Brady believes his kook of a trainer. It’s a rich Boston suburb thing. Wouldn’t look much further than this.
