My argument is that Eichel is better, and shouldn't be compared to ROR.

Your argument is the offensive zone starts, mine is that Eichel faces the ROR's of the world on most shifts
- sbroads24

Except he only has 1 more point than ROR

He should be better, he should be facing other teams shut down lines, he should have more than 1 more point than ROR but he doesn't

Not my goal song! What's wrong with it?

an obvious attempt at trying to be hip when the franchise, and a majority of it's in-house, family-oriented fan base is anything but

Niether has O'Reilly this season

O'Reilly gets tough minutes, no doubt, but interesting fact, he gets more Offensive zone starts per 60 than.....Auston Matthews

Players with less O zone starts than ROR

Auston Matthews
William Nylander
Niklas Backstrom
Richard Rackell
Brandon Dubinsky
Tyler Johnson
Ales Barkov
Nazem Kadri
Jordan Staal
Eric Staal

Enlighten me....What are "O zone stats"?

I do know this, ROR have averaged less than 20 goals and 50 points a season during his eight plus year career. Decent stats. But not at 7.5M a year. That's the problem

I think possession stats do have some use. Some. But then again Martin Marincin's was an analytics darling. Unfortunately he can't actually play

O Zone starts are being on the ice when the faceoff is in the other teams end aka their offensive zone.

apparently the flu bug is hitting the Oilers...backup Laurent Brossoit to get the start and klefbom is a game-time decision

When I say "Ugh" you say "Ah", is lyrical genius though...

that would be about right...although, gotta like that risto's back...nothing against falk but Scandella really needs him, and it gives buffalo five of six defensemen worthy of starting

Right, so Eichel hasn’t been great. I’d agree

Keep with the theme if you're going to change it. I'd suggest Skee-Lo's "I Wish". Very fitting given the current state of the union.

since the sabres are gonna suck next year as well

who are players we can target as part of returns for current trades that can be moved for a rental next year

I would like to keep the kids far away from buffalo next year as well

antipin has looked decent lately

i wonder if girgensons will ever do anything worthy of being a first round pick

after his first season we were talking about him developing into a drury like player and he just hasnt done anything

you could use the theme from fresh prince too if that's where you want to go...

buffalo's a classic rock town, not a hip-hop city...the only thing most know about cutting edge comes from the knife they use to carve the turkey

Really like what I've seen from him. His skating isn't elite, but his acceleration is, he has the ability to get separation on dump ins. We need more speed like that from the back end, I hope his climb continues.

Brooks Laich hits the waivers.

- homiedclown

he looks real good, albeit with rookie mistakes...loved the way McCabe almost always gave him an out when Antipin was in trouble

I have friends who tell me Gus has become fascinated by SURF CULTURE and was so anxious to get started that - notwithstanding the weather - he bundled up this weekend and gave it a try on the choppy shores of Lake Erie.
