Zamboni

Huh? Hutton has been noticeably (to not all apparently) better most games since Ullmark went down.

So is the blinded by hate myth that Reinhart avoids contact too. Avoids getting smoked? Sure. Every player does that to a more or less degree. not being a Pat Kaleta, doesn’t mean a player avoids contact… In a contact sport.

Yea it was mentioned on Monday. He liked the fact that he’ll be “closer to home”. Probably the main reason.

Unless a hockey miracle happens, I don’t see Cozens in any shape way or form being an effective 2C next season. I just don’t. He’ll be a developing young player who doesn’t look good some games, Looks good in others, and plays a 3rd line wing with a few games among the top six to see what he looks like. And that’s being very very optimistic. In 21-22 or 22-23, yea hopefully if all his stars align just right.... Cozens will be an effective 2C. But there is no way I’m expecting it next season. JB needs to get a seasoned effective 2C. For at the least, two full seasons while Cozens develops in the NHL.

To me, he looks like a inconsistent developing young player. Nothing too alarming IMO. If he’s making the same frequency of mistakes next season AND the following season, then I’ll start to have a little concern. My prediction is next season he’ll still make those mistakes, just less of them. And that’s due to developing and experience. At 21 ... there’s almost no chance he doesn’t develop and improve. Who the heck honestly thinks a 21 year old player won’t.

guess which one will be the Sabres tonight.

Meh. Liked Vanek for about 5 years, then started to slowly want him off the team. By the time he was moved I was rather pleased.

That buyout absolutely won’t happen. And it would be stupid of JB to do so.

”JB really didn’t give Florida a good offer” or let’s see ... “JB made a big mistake by not trying to get and/or getting Trochek” That garbage just rings hollow to me. It reeks of ... wanting so hard to believe any negative (and raging against it) and not having the ability to give JB an ounce of credit or looking positively about anything regarding anything Sabres related. And it’s not just this particular example at this moment in time. Again, it just rings hollow to me. Non issue where I sit.

Too many things need to fall into place ... Perfectly. So no, no realistic chance they sneak into the playoffs.

I’d like to say a lot more about this ... but I’ll just say .... that’s nice for Ayers ??

Who is BS?

I still think our center spine looks like: Eichel Johansson Lazar Larsson

More importantly JB didn’t get taken to the woodshed like a certain trade we don’t need to rehash and debate for the 1,595th time. ?

Agreed upon and paperwork started (NHL notified of such) before 3:00. Paperwork can be completed and approved by the league after 3:00.

Willl the Sabres put more talent around Simmonds than New Jersey did? that may help or hurt the end result of what he can do for this team.

Well, if the opposing team keeps playing a Zamboni driver goalie… stranger things have happened. ?

Exactly my thoughts. So it’s really a good thing the Sabres (or 30 other teams) didn’t get them. They are both spent. I know some want to have a feel good moment with those two, but it’s best we avoid those two slugs.

Why hasn’t any team picked up Poms or Vanek this whole season? Any logical ideas?

He produces way way more than your “typical” 4th liner. He is still a solid 3rd liner who can get in on a PP in front. I get you don’t like him, but there is noooo way he signs with any team for 1 mil.

For 2.5 -3.0 for three years.... sure extend Simmonds. Any more .... hard pass.

Call Dave and Adams store. Pick their brains. Also Sabres Store.
