In a lot of ways, since '06, Sabres and Oilers have a lot in common. Also since then, 2 teams have won the cup a total of 6 times, so really, 90% of the league has failed since then

We failed when we lost to the Canes and they won the cup that year, good ol Darcy and not getting any D help at the deadline.

Not saying I disagree
Just that basing projections of one player off of how another developed is usually not an accurate way to assess the situation

- jdfitz77

Not entirely true.

Top draft choices develope on a pretty similar curve

By 21 they are in their prime

I think that's why they eventually agree on 1 year, or he ends up traded.

I certainly wouldn't bet against it.

25 man.

Who would you play, pick 2 of the 3

Dede Westbrook
Evan Engram
Hunter Henry

Obviously it’s 1 TE and 1 flex

Vomit emoji.

Henry is wildly inconsistent, but he's on a roll, well the Chargers as a team are.

So Henry and flip a coin.

Edit: Actually, Westbrook and Henry.

Holy hell lol ..
There's no one on the waiver wire?

Engram I would have picked because of volume cuz that's basically who they throw to but he's been such garbage lately

Hunter Henry I just can't trust that dude some days he'll get you 13 points some days he'll get you 0

To be fair, the rest of my team includes

Bell
Julio
Hopkins
Alex Collins

So it’s not that bad

Kinda
U still see differences from guy to guy
And you’re talking about a very small subset

The overwhelming majority of players develop at different rates

Yeah Dynasty. Lost ODB and Chris Thompson.

My keepers next year are

Bell
Thielen (traded him for Engram and Collins)
Thompson
Dez

Awful keepers now that I have to give back Beckham and Hopkins
