Goalie is one of the most important positions on a team. It's ok for them to add to a team lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By saying it's not on the goalie? I'm just responding to simplistic takes looking at the end result. The Sabres need to be blown up. They need a new regime. But I'm not in favor of a sale unless it's guaranteed that it's a local group as committed to Buffalo as the Pegulas. (Which is a lot to ask for.) Oh, how's my Bills homerism looking now? I don't disagree entirely (see my last post), and I certainly don't want to fight. Sorry if that came across as an attack. We're all cranky & flustered at this point. We all deserve better and we wouldn't be here if we didn't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting to the point now of saying give Dylan Cozens the 2C role. Staal has not been the answer and neither is Lazar or Eakin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far in Buffalo, that's been merely a concept from a league gone by. Doesn't look great on KA when that was used as reasoning for why he didn't upgrade elsewhere. Staal looks terrible and that was his "most important" move. KA had a poor offseason. Edited March 6, 2021 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst players at their job on the team this and last year are Hutton and Skinner.

Hall was fine as a 1 year gamble, but no way do I re-sign him to a big multi-year deal. 14 career playoff games over 10+ NHL seasons, almost always a minus player, and soon to be on the wrong side of thirty. Thanks, but a big NO THANKS. He is exactly what this teams needs LESS of, not MORE of. Edited March 6, 2021 by LabattBlue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Bryson is pretty fun to watch. In the same vein as my Hutton post, Skinner always seems to play a game that would be "ok" if you knew he just scored 2 last night, and assume that he'll score another sometime soon. But when you remember he hasn't scored in 5 years, his game suddenly looks pathetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
