I watched some highlights this morning. His skating doesn't look great from what I've watched. What's his deal? I mean what kind of a player is he?
- jcragcrumple

He’s like that backbone seabrook use to be

Sign JVR and boom:

JVR Eichel Reinhart
Sheary Mittelstadt Okposo
CJ Smith Erod Baptiste ----This is a speed line
Wilson Girgensons Pomminville

Dahlin Parayko
Scandella Risto
Nelson Bogo
McCabe Hunwich

Hutton
Ullmark


Hope Tavares signs with Tampa, trade McCabe and San Jose's 1st for Tyler Johnson move E-Rod down a line and Girgensons to the booth
- Stripes77

This pick cant be traded, IIRC.

It still has conditions on it.

A good all around #2/3 D man.

Great point shot, looks awkward sometimes because of his size.
- sbroads24

Yeah, I watched him break glass and almost kill Crawford with a slapper to the head.

Idk. Doesn't really move the needle for me. Bring me wingers

Add something to bring Fabbri with him. Who I like.

I don’t know, a future top 4 of

Dahlin/Parayko
Guhle/Risto

Looks very promising

Sobotka, Steen, Jaskin, Thomas, first round pick for ROR and Nylander.

not your best
- Hatboro_Swords

what exactly is my best?

I can't take anything that's Sabres-associated seriously until I see an actual product on the ice. Not horribly contrasted and damp looking uniforms and a bunch of undisciplined idiots, but a well-dressed and entertaining game and an atmosphere that doesn't drag with paper fans and drunk morons who don't know how to root for a team whether it's losing or not. Obviously the losing has a lot to do with it but I don't like how a miserable on-ice attitude has been allowed to drag on this entire time.

Ted Nolan wouldn't have been such a bad last few years and we still would have finished last. For a guy who loves his "Sabres Alumni", Terry Pegula sure has run through quite a few of them since he's bought the team.

It's no excuse for lazy management this last several years, in any case. The marketing is stale, the presentation is old, the tone is flat and the environment is empty of any kind of emotion. It's all just a ho-hum attitude from the top down, and the fanbase isn't free of this criticism, either. The players live like the populace does in Buffalo.

Criticize Jack and Sam for supposedly being drinkers who stay up until the sun comes up on game days and still show up to work, yeah, how dare they. They aren't Jim-Kellying around town or driving into buildings and literally every single player ever does that when they're young and grinding the schedule.

I do see them go through the motions but I do NOT see them mope. I have seen a few players mope and be invisible leaders in a confused locker-room that's clearly hostile because they don't have a healthy work environment.

It's still a (frank)ing poop-show and until it actually appears as a consistent and entertaining on-ice product, then there's no point in repeating the same things Ad nauseam and taking blog discussion so seriously that it interferes with your everyday life.

Suck it, beady.

- homiedclown

I'm good on that particular conversation. I said it last time it came up, Botts is specifically looking for speed on the wings, there's a 0% chance Lucic is coming here, so I don't want to expend the time to lay out why Lucic sucks

okposo played with ror and eichel and sucked

And that’s why I’m a little confused why Thomas will be part of the ROR package he’s a little faster then ROR he just doesn’t seem like a botts type but maybe he wants him because he the number 1 center prospect
