Yeah yeah, draft in Buffalo, Free agency, Stamkos, World Cup, SUMMER. I guess I should pace myself a bit.

He's a third-pairing guy to buy some time for Risto and co. to come back on the ice. He usually does well at it, except when paired with Mike Weber.

I'm not ready to hate on him just yet.

- CaptainRivet

Weber actually had the best underlying numbers of his career playing with Franson and Pysyk, two guys who also excel at puck possession (IMO, in a limited role)

You could make the case that 3 and 46 helped us get that 3rd rounder from WSH

In no way would I ever consider him to be a top notch guy, but no team is full of top end d-men, so I just don't get the hate on Pysyk when this team's issues are on the offensive end.

He was drafted 23rd overall in 2010 and only has 125 NHL games under his belt. Only 8 d-men in his draft have played more games, 2 drafted higher than him and 6 drafted lower

Pretty sure (hope) that most of us realize why he didn't play in Buffalo much in 14/15...I'm pretty certain it wasn't a concern with the player.

Ristolainen flat-out stunk in his own zone this year(for the most part, anyway). Gorges was meh. Bogo and Franson were trainwrecks.

But nope. It falls on the bottom-pairing guy making 1/70th of the cap because I'm sick of hearing the words "sneaky good" and "great outlet pass".

Did anyone else find it odd that Franson produced very well on the PP for about 2 weeks and then vanished offensively?

Wasn't sure what the deal was there.

This is moronic.

Reinhart and Ristolainen are going nowhere.

He insisted last time that the Sabres were going full boat on Stamkos. At this point I'm like whatever. I feel like the guy on the way to the car dealership about to sign his life away for some overpriced SUV and I'm like 'screw it let's go'.

Regardless, I think the first 20-30 games of the season can be written off as Bylsma seeing what he had with the roster. Realistically people probably only had about 50 games of playing with linemates/pairings with a good bit of confidence that they would remain together.

I know a bunch of people were pissed at the "meaningless wins" late in the season, but I was happy to see the growth throughout the year and the improvements made with time spent together. I think it bodes well going forward.
