I have Mittlestadt in my top 4. He's committed to Univ of Minnesota next season. He's going to be a star. He sees the game like Reinhart but he's a plus skater and shooter. Him and Eichel together would be absurd.

I often find myself wondering what moves Murray would've made this off-season if he was still around. Anybody know if he's been interviewed after he was fired?

Matthews is a cancer.

Maybe. But is was pretty much a foregone conclusion Lambert was gone anyway.

The problem in Roch is lack of talent, not coaching IMO. They need more Baptiste's and Bailey's, and that can only happen if the talent in Buffalo improves.

Just curious.... anybody know how many defensemen picked in the first round are on PIT and NASH?

gotta take mittelstadt if hes there at 8. an elite level offensive talent, you don't pass on that just to fill a need on D

Trade him to Vegas as part of deal for them to take Moulson off our hands in expansion draft.

found a link to an official prototype...

I'd be ok with just getting rid of the silver piping, but royal blue would be ideal.

This is the modern NHL, look at guys like Montour, Chychrun, Hanifin, Ekblad, Provorov, Carlo, etc... this isn't 10 years ago where defensemen take years to develop. Today's game places a premium on defensemen who can skate and Guhle is right there.

Trump didn't get to buy the Bills so he conspired with Putin to derail the Sabres season getting Murray fired, hiring J-Bot and getting his friend Antipin an NHL contract. That's the universe we live in.

He should've stayed in junior (or SWE), like Reinhart.

Murray also wanted to improve Roch and stressed building a winner, which is something every single GM wants to do, it's nothing revolutionary. The issue with BUF and similar to other bottom feeders is that they're always picking near the top of the draft and those guys end up playing on the big club very early in their careers (straight out of junior/college) because they're talented enough and there isn't any competition for spots. As a result there's a significant talent void in Roch. Teams like ANA, SJ, CHI, etc... have stronger farm teams because A) they're picking near the bottom of the draft and those players need more time to develop and B) there is no room on the big club for those players when they finish their junior/college careers. To create a winner in Roch, BUF needs to improve their talent at the NHL level which means they'll be picking lower in the draft, and they won't need to rush guys up to BUF because of a lack of depth.

Haha, true! ...I find it ironic that I've made 2 or 3 posts complaining of unrelated posts in this thread, when those posts in and of themselves have nothing to do with the thread title. Consider there are infinite parallel...

Apparently she went to some kind of retreat/rehab thing which helped fix her attitude. 1 - The the discussion went completely off topic because of the content of your post... which is a minor annoyance for those of us who come here to read stuff related to the title of the thread. 2 - People were just reacting to your comment... which wouldn't have happened if you didn't make such a biased comment in the first place. 3 - I'll post what I like, and you'll post what I like :)

Well stated. I come here to discuss sports and forget about all that other stuff. Go discuss that stuff somewhere else, there are plenty of options.

let gionta walk, sign Matt Cullen

I use this site for work when trying to figure out meeting times for our offices in EMEA and APJ... https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

He answered 20 questions.... I blacked out about half-way through, not sure how it ended. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video/20-questions-with-jason-botterill/t-277437090/c-51957503

Agree 100%. He's a nice depth guy to stash in Roch, but will never be a regular at the NHL level... just not big and strong enough for the type of game he plays.

Again, Risto is still figuring out how to defend. He's physical has good offensive awareness, but needs to develop his defensive game, especially in tight around the net where his lack of quickness, agility and slow feet get him trouble. He'll figure it out as his game matures.

Reinhart, Baptiste for Letang

...i should clarify... in this universe he never called her a c#nt.
