All we need to do is wait another 3-4 years and we’ll be fine.

Well, Johnson next year should compete for a job. But maybe trade bait for some of the others?

I have more hope for every single other dman in the Sabres org.  RyJo has been as unimpressive as a player can be without getting scratched for every game.  Not sure what’s happened with him this season but he’s been invisible.

Full disclosure: I've only watched him a handful of times this year.

But isn't invisible kinda the point? You're not expecting hits and you're not expecting offence.

If he succeeds, it will be as a Bill Hajt kinda player: calmly break up a play and move out the puck.

Leone seems happy with him on that level and that's kinda what he showed the first 2 playoff games.

You say this but if Buffalo hadn't been stupid in 2014-2017 drafting, we'd have made the playoffs.

2016 in particular makes me want to throw up.  Nylander & Asplund (trade up) were a complete waste of draft capital.  Add to that the fact we drafted Hagel and then never signed hm rubs more salt into the wound.

McAvoy/Sergachev and Kyrou/DeBrincat would've given this team a very different look in 2018-19 and 2019-2020 (COVID tourney year).

kind of disappointed about this.  He has had two good seasons in liiga and I thought we might see him on the amerks next year. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite them.  Or maybe hopefully it does for the players sake?

I think he read the room and realized the Sabres are full of this kind of prospect already. And I wouldn’t doubt it if the Sabres offered him that type of advice as well.
