Here’s something I have not seen posted about:

If you had to identify the most frustrated Sabres last year would any of Cozens, Lafferty. Clifton, Peterka and Jokiharju not be on the list?

I wonder how many of square pegs with Ruff are left?

Who did they miss? Quinn maybe?  Samuelsson?

Guys that were healthy scratches that are still here: Quinn, Samuelsson, Malenstyn.

For frustrated guys from last year, you missed one, Aube-Kubel.  Guy never garnered any trust from Ruff.  (Not saying he should've had it; but he absolutely didn't.)

Well that's kind of my point. They threw him in as an extra. They saw him as a replaceable bottom end player. 

Embedded implies otherwise. Adams said the trade wasn’t happening cuz Utah would include Doan in the trade, they “consider him a glue piece to the team.”

he’s may not be a top 6 forward but he’s not a throw-in either

That's debatable. Highly debatable based on what we know. 

Well he hasn't done anything noteworthy in his NHL career yet. We shall see.

Few people are categorizing him as a top line forward. He’s a lower line forward who plays a hard style of game.

Again, we shall see how "hard" he is. That was the sales pitch on Malentstyn too.

I don't believe a word "embedded" says.
