Ok fine, regular season too, since niether of them did anything noteworthy
- sbroads24

Hey, since 365 isn't around anymore, someone needs to pick up the mantle:

So, Artemi wants to play in either Florida, LA or New York?

Buffalo is in New York. 😉
- Powerslave

Pass
He’s obviously a really good player
But I’m not giving up the assets it’ll cost for him to say he doesn’t wanna sign & then trade him for less at the deadline
F that noise
Oh well

He'll look like the league mvp against OTT and BUF and a contest winner against everybody else
- mattmoulson

Do you think he asked his agent, "ok, so who had the most shootouts last year? Let's not visit them."

I just think we need to pump the brakes on guys that haven't been full timers yet. I'm not saying they won't be good, but until they are, maybe don't trade guys away that you might need if they don't pull through.

Need is a strong word. We will never need Ristolainen. It will be nice if he sticks around and plays a top 4 role, but he will never be necessary

What happened to him?

Absolutely. He made his own raw dea...er, bed, and he knew it.

Hahahaha

100% agree. I was just joking. Unless he's working out an extension as the deal is made, I stay far away.

Well a Ride Side depth chart of Bogosian & Nelson would disagree there sir

For sure

Lots of good players out there who MIGHT be availabile...

Not ALL are the right fit though
Something which our AsstGM was alluding to this morning in WGR

Right now, we absolutely do. By the TDL? Maybe, maybe not.

What happened to him?
- jdfitz77

Said he got a new job. Probably got sick of the poop.

I'll take 3OA for ROR sure but beyond that I want roster players in return. Now is not the time to start pushing things out to 3+ years down the road. This team needs to be a playoff contender by next season bare minimum.

I'm half way t o drunk...
But you seem to bewidely stoned.
That may be your expectation, but I believe most are a bit more conservative.

Well congrats to him on the new job

I’m sure he’ll swing back by to argue with me though
Hahaha

I rarely agree with him, but I respect his opinion. He's the HB Spock, looking at things objectively

Rust got a 4yr deal @ 3.5m per?!

Maybe Sam is gonna get over 4mil after all

Rust’s 2 seasons:
57gp 15g-23a-28pts (.49ppg)
69gp 13g-25a-38pts (.55ppg)

The must be planning on him playing with Malkin or Crosby full-time & think he’s gonna blow up

Idk about that
Him & Sbroads seem to pick & choose which Analytics stats to use,
and which they don’t care about

I think the numbers have a place too
Our eyes can be biased

But the eye test is certainly important bc not everything can be quantified by stats

So can misapplied numbers.

panthers, devils, leafs and oilers went all in on it 4 years ago


won nothing

- Wetbandit1

Obviously i agree
That’s the basis of just about every argument i have with Sbroads

Oh well

Like I’ve said again & again
I don’t take this stuff at all seriously

And all are welcome to stop in & I’ll buy them a shot

Some ppl take this board & the discussions WAY TOO SERIOUSLY

We’re all Sabres fans though

Once we start winning,
I think the “culture” in here will improve A LOT too
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
