After about game 10-15,
I’d say he’s played well & gotten steadily better even
- jdfitz77

Injury takes a bit more with some than others . he is coming around . You see it more withothers vanishing . (ROR)

that might change in a year or two
- Sabresfan-365

Fair, but tbd still
What makes u think he’ll drop off significantly?

- Sabresfan-365

Maybe!

But saying he's a bad contract like Leino is hyperbole to the max.

The Sabres have 20 mill tied up in 9 goals between Pominville, Moulson, Gorges and Bogo

20 mil.

9 goals.

And all of those goals belong to Pominville

Okposo doesn't even touch that level of futiliry

O’Reilly hasn’t even been that bad
He’s getting too much hate on here

Not saying i don’t want him to be better,
but he doesn’t blow like a lot say

- jdfitz77

he'll be 30 next year and assuming eichel gets his wingers that means okposo wont have those extra points.

Girls in bars ......

I sure hope i NEVER have a daughter
I’ve seen some slutty sh!t
And from girls I’d never expect to see it from

some skunk has 2 primary assists so far tonight
- homiedclown

2 assists and a face-plant diving penalty. He's been busy tonight!

but he is not passing the eye test aside from the 2 goals


and his corsi is probably blah

- homiedclown

actually outside of a bad stretch reinharts probably had the best corsi of any sabres player for like 2 years now.

I have no idea. There's nothing about it after his counterclaim on 9/20/16. But there was definitely a suit filed, 2, in fact. She said every word but rape. "'unwanted, unconsented to, violent and offensive in nature physical battery'", "causing cuts and bleeding that required multiple surgeries.", and "'serious emotional trauma' and 'serious, permanent and painful personal injuries.'" sounds an awful lot like rape to me.

Again. Not saying whether I think he did it or not. I was told my facts weren't straight. They absolutely are.
- Wetbandit1

Well you did say head injury so they weren’t completely straight. It was bad press. No denying that one bit. The case didn’t hold up in court. Nothing more we can say.

I think the oilers became the oilers cause they couldn't address the defence. Im not saying play only youngsters, im saying wait till a proper core of forwards and defensemen is established before dishing out big cash to scoring wingers.
- Sabresfan-365

They also had all their young talent in all the tough roles WAY too soon
Which caused struggles
Have some good Vets there would’ve helped A LOT imo


And let’s say we lose the lotto this year
That means we are most likely gonna “pull an Oilers” and AGAIN draft a forward...

When’s the defense gonna get better?
And how?

If we do sign Kane, (or JvR or Neal),
it just costs us Cap space

And we have plenty of room
Especially if we buyout &/or trade a couple guys

he'll be 30 next year and assuming eichel gets his wingers that means okposo wont have those extra points.
- Sabresfan-365

Actually in 4 months

Yea it is
- SABRES 89

He was horrible to start the year.

2 points in 10 games.

He now has 23 points in his last 31.

Kane is going the other way with his points in the last 10 games.

oh my

O’Reilly hasn’t even been that bad

- jdfitz77

The standards are high. For better or for worse. We gave up a lot of assets to get him and we handed him the biggest contract in Sabres history (at the time). Not saying it’s all on him.

you don't know that and yeah its going to take a while, thats why not re signing him makes sense

- jdfitz77

I have 2 they are 30 and 26 and doing well.

Grand kids ? 13 and 15 and both cute and i'm glad i'm not the parent .

They just left . had a b-day party for their 2yr old sister here. I couldn't wait till they Left . OMG I did 2 shots afterwards.

He said it would be Allen, two days ago after the NFL has been buzzing about the browns and Allen for the last couple weeks. What does Gerbe deserve credit for? Reading a report??
- Fattony1187

Did anyone else on here agree that they’d take Allen?

Or did most assume they’d still take Darnold or Rosen?
I know i did

We hear/read those kinda of reports all the time
Some come true, some don’t
It’s not like I’m saying Gerbe broke the news before Shefter or Kiper

Heck... even now i still don’t think they’ll take Allen #1

Do u?

- MCGUIZZY

There was a head injury, that's why she couldn't remember, and why she went to the hospital in the first place.

in a cap era, with the money he s getting paid

IMO he needs to be a player to make his line mates better


on the ice
off the ice
in the locker room
and on the stat sheet


how many second line centers are paid more then him?

I dont understand what you're getting at. Im just saying find the malkin/letang for this team before finding the kessel for it.
- Sabresfan-365

I’m saying the specific order doesn’t matter

For example:

What if Mittelstadt is our Malkin
And what if we win the lotto & get Dahlin as our Letang

Now if we keep Kane, then we have our Kessel too
But if we trade him,
then we still gotta go find our Kessel

I don’t think the order matter as much as us just getting all those pieces

They also had all their young talent in all the tough roles WAY too soon

.Remember I mentioned Defensman outperforming better draft picks ?. Can't pick all great players in one draft. Need to have 2nd and 3rd rounders show up good 1st rounders .

if, and a big if


they really like Allen, I bet they take the rb from penn state with the first pick and allen with their second pick

He has been invisible to the point I forgot he was on the team.
Then I thought he was on IR.

the 2 games in college, I saw the kid on the wing

in the jrs, I saw him on the wing


pretty sure he will be a winger in the NHL


which is not a bad thing
