St Louis was passed up at this age

Bills haven’t drafted that well. They went character first, talent second, and changed the team around Krueger went system first, subordinancy second, culture as a catchphrase

We played better when the youngins had greater roles

And after his honeymoon year that had more to do with fresh coaching than anything else he is having all of the same issues on his new team surface

Definitely one of those players whose draft perception got destroyed by the COVID world He has the attributes KA has been looking for, will be interesting

No, it’s your take on stats that completely ignores personality, motivation, and how he works as a teammate that is the awful take. the guy is beta as hell and now he’s a leader. That’s a problem his stats will likely get better if he is a younger second line center for some other team. And they won’t pay him 8 million for it without suffering somehow

Reinhart needs to go. Too slow and too passive. He really needs a strong environment to succeed and we don’t have that

Borgen so overrated

Borgen McCabe or Miller. Glad we have all those defenseman in the system now don’t we

Reinhart is a mental midget and is a disappointment for a season purposefully tanked to acquire

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
