Being a comic book nerd I love seeing the movies come to real life but I know they’re not exactly like the comic book but it’s still pretty nice to see

If the GM likes Guhle so much why isn’t he getting the call ?


I understand the development point of view but right now you need a defenseman that could maybe make an impact in the lineup and put a fire underneath their ass

It just seems like at this point he’s just saying just left the season ride out and will get a high draft pick

You can't have it both ways.

Botterill will bring up the success of Guentzel any time Guhle is brought up.

Guhle could be with the big club after the Christmas break.

Buffalo Sabres defense update - ****0 total goals****

Kevin Shattenkirk - 5 goals and 17 points

- sbroads24



And the worst +\- defenseman on his team...
just like he is EVERY year

Call me crazy,
But I think a defenseman should actually be able to DEFEND

I think it's odd when someone continuously throws fitz about us not drafting defense, yet doesn't want one that produces like Shattenkirk does
- sbroads24


Because he sucks at defense
And his Corsi stats are skewed bc he gets so much more offensive zone time than defensive zone time

He “produces” letting other teams SCORE at a rate higher than EVERY SINGLE other defenseman he’s played with over the past 4 years

7 goals is nice
But not if u let in 13

Why is it so hard for u to see that’s not a good thing?
Seems obvious

you're crazy if you think +/- is the best way to assess defensive abilities.

I don’t though

However,
when a guy’s +/- is ALWAYS worse than every single defenseman he plays with...
there’s a reason

Add to that his big margin of offensive zone starts compared to defensive zone starts...
and he’s CONSISTENTLY on the ice for more goals against than those scored

How does all that happen if he’s GOOD defensively?


It’s not like I’m picking out 1 random season
It’s been this way for like 4 years now

The guy doesn’t play defense well,

he's not good defensively, hes just not as terrible as you may think.

John Carlson has identical stats to him this year. on the ice for 12 goals for 5v5 and 17 against. Shattenkirk 12 and 16 with similar ice time

They’re on different teams
And I bet Carlson has more defensive zone starts
It would be one thing of Shattenkirk was getting the tough defensive assignments & playing in his own end more...
but that’s NOT the case

And this is an EVERY YEAR thing for Shattenkirk

He’s terrible at defense
