Someone needs to tell the Sabres that scoring goals is the object in hockey

I am taking 10 goals off of what would have been his projections based on past performance. I think that is a pretty fair assessment. If you think it will be more than that you must also think that Stafford, Ennis and Hodgson would be 40 goal scorers on other teams with better players around them and better puck possesion. See the correlation there?

No. Actually, I don't. But thanks for trying to put words in my mouth.

If this is directed toward me, you have a few things to learn.


I think I smell a ban coming on.

Analytics is great to measure the overall succuss of a team, it doesn't really do much for determining the value of an individual player. If it did, plus minus would be important.


This isn't baseball, it's a free flowing sport.

Tonights players are pretty close to what we will see opening night. Well closer than the last game . Glad Staff got one .

As long as it doesn't mean he gets another 4 year 25 mil contract from buffalo out of it. I am happy for him.

I can't imagine he'd settle for 5 mil if he hit 50 on this team.

Reimer .. you get in the HBSL this year? I kicked ass last season. Had 2 loses. And then they adjusted the playoffs and it screwed me . Won a season ticket from it. Yay.

Could become the winger we need.
If he keeps it going .

At 50 goals he'd be the winger everyone needs, sorta my point though. You said 1 mil per year raise over three years. I have to think that at that kind of production he'd be looking at the very least what Semin got from Carolina. Could eventually turn into the worst contract in the last decade given his history.

Yes, I am doing it. I saw you had a great year and won your division. Last year was my worst year since joining the site. Did not make the playoffs.

I saw on the Fantasy thread that they messed up the playoff schedule, I think because of the Olympics, and people got screwed. At least you got something out of the season. Congrats!
