    ...your 2021-22 Buffalo Sabres?

     

    When I read this I was thinking Calder Cup contenders for sure, maybe favorites.

     

    then I read your last line.

    My deep dark fear is that he turns out to be Tim Connolly redux — not with a similar game, but rather a guy whose game you love to watch but just can’t stay healthy.

    He’s already been injured a couple of times since becoming a Sabre/Amerk IIRC (concussion — speaking of Connolly — and broken thumb I think), and as I mentioned in the Bills thread, I saw him and a bunch of the other Sabres at the Bills opener and I was surprised and how skinny he was.

    Hopefully I’m just paranoid and out to lunch on this.  It wouldn’t be the first time.  If he stays healthy I think he’s going to be a great Sabre.  

    Strange take and for many years now, most skill players look like like bicycle racers without their pads.

  3. Without that contract, most would like him as a role player. I think health is the bigger issue than whether he can still play. I would expect him in the bottom 6, where he probably belongs at this point of his career. But there may not be room in the bottom 6 and there might not be enough talent in the top 6 to exclude him.

  4. I would never recommend fusion to repair a herniated disc on a young person. It pretty much haunts me everyday, between the loss of movement turning your head to the increased strain on the other discs which causes other troubles and pain. And it only gets worse with age, less motion and more pain.

     

    So for Jack as a person, I have a really hard time going there.
