It's good to have an open discussion and I am super negative on sam. He fits in great with eichel. Want to like him moving forward :

My understanding is:
He can be a complete dueshebag off the ice at times. Self centered and entitled.
He really didn't fit or stand out on the 3rd line
He/his agent were looking/ comparing him to ryan johansen. 8 years 8 per. Ryan plays center and was the 4th pick a few years back.
His agent projected sam to be 60 point guy moving forward

The sabres basically said we aren't even going there. Let's see: how you do at center, On your own.
Jbotts knows that he can produce with Jack.
Sabres want him long term, but he needs to be realistic about his contract. Pretty sure Homie relayed the same information.
He got a little spanking and hopefully an ego/reality check, playing with out our generational talent and bikemate/housemate

That is very informative, thanks.

I like that he *produces* but it does seem to be at his leisure. There is no denying that he has some pretty solid numbers for his third pro year, but if that's true, which I believed I agreed with homie on as well, that is cause for concern.

According to @CraigCustance, the #Sabres are one of the teams that has shown interest in KHL defenseman, Bogdan Kiselevich. The 27 year old has 7 assists in 25 games for CSKA Moscow.

It's already over for the Buffalo Bills

Good on them for throwing away the towel

- GERBE!!!75PTS



I'm pretty sure it's "throwing IN the towel" in reference to boxing and the trainer protecting his boxer when his guy is getting beat down. Lol

Good move by the bills. I liked tyrod, but he was terrible vs. The saints. You could see guys wide open from the stands, he just didn't see them.

Nate might be the future: let's see what he can do
Nate might not be the future : let's see if we need to draft a qb early or later

from someone who watches the KHL "really good two way guy"

He apparently got offers last year too and a quick google search brought up an interview with a jackets prospect where he gives him some credit for being able to handle top competition

Is Bogdan's puck. Nobody touch Bogdan's puck but Bogdan. You play in corner with детская игрушка and Bogdan score goal

Jordan was my favorite player of alltime... But my shot was like Pippens.
The bank was always open.

They have great chemistry together. I think sam needed a reality check.
Sam makes eichel better, pippin made Jordan better too. No one ever mentioned it. It's a 2 way street

I would still take Dak on this team.

I'm just looking for a competent QB.

You have to take chances on a QB, and if there isn't a DEAD LOCK QB, take a chance where ever you are.

Never played football growing up, so i may be way off on this, but don't Qb's throw to guys based on a route sometimes? As in they'll see a matchup at the line of scrimmage and then throw the ball on time at a specified place without necessarily looking?

It feels to me like Tyrod never trusted where his guys should be. He had to stare at a guy and know he was open

Watched the replay of last night's game and it does seem Lehner trusts Gorges out there on 2 on 1s more than the others. He seems like the only guy that knows how to cut off the pass. If you look at the Sabres opportunities, the Pens looked like how the Sabres Dmen have been on those opportunities this season.
