For what?

I guess I just don’t get it.

Kane was really good
O’Reilly is really good
Eichel is great (he is)
Ristolainen is reallly good
Lehner is good


How can this be true of the guys who play a majority of every game, yet we’re the 2nd worst team in hockey?

- sbroads24


I don't get into the adv. stats stuff as much. But weren't the Sabres pretty decent in terms of scoring in their top6, but literally below the bottom of the barrel in bottom6/depth scoring?

I don't know if I have a point yet or not.

I have it... But a 43 year old man snapchatting to a mentally unfit kid is probably not a good idea.

Why is it hard to believe that we have 7 good players on this team and everyone else sucks?

Maybe because there are 13 other mother(frank)ers who can't pull their weight?
- Wetbandit1

Who all play significantly less than the “core”??

Sure, it’s all Larsson and Girgensons faults?

I could buy that being a reason we are a fringe team and not a playoff team, but not the reason we are 30th.

They are in terms of overall point totals, but they aren’t in terms of efficiency.

- jcragcrumple

Because teams that have 7 good players aren’t the worst in the league.

Especially when 1 of the 7 is as good as Jack Eichel

Isn't it possible that they play so much because most players sucks, and that if we had more good players, the good players we have would be better, play less and have more gas in the tank?

No but isn’t O’Reilly? “One of the best two way forwards in the game”

Plus we were talking about offense

Eichel plays 20 minutes
O’Reilly plays 20 minutes
Kane played 18 minutes

Who do you think Ristolainen primarily is on the ice with?

So either the above aren’t very good, or Ristolainen isn’t, or both.

- sbroads24


Risto might not up fancy stats and he makes some glaring mistakes from time to time.

But:

He's tough
He's tough to play against
Fun to watch
Logs tons of ice time
Adds some offense
Signed for a reasonable contract

He's the least of the problems on d

Most good teams have balanced scoring. We have a cliff about a 3rd of the way down the roster

- jcragcrumple

How does that explain O’Reilly being god awful the first 7-10 games when he had “gas in the tank”?

Don’t get me wrong, we need better depth, and it’s a reason we suck. I just think an equal reason for the suckiness is a heavy case of players just not being as good as their reputations

Hmmm interesting.

In December I saw someone post goal totals for top6s around the league and I was surprised we weren't last or even bottom 10 from what I remember.

Like most things it's probably multi-factorial. Our best players (RoR/Risto/Okposo looking at you) aren't being the "best". Jack is, but he's the only one. Reinhart bad start, Scandella bad start...but also we lack any depth at forward or defense to makeup for those shortcomings perhaps???

It has to be everything one way or another.

I agree with you: we have 7 or 8 good guys.

Yeah, no doubt IMO. We need better depth badly. I don’t disagree at all.

I just think that if this core was actually good, we’d be higher than 30th
