Could be well north of 9. Skinner holds most of the cards.

Should of moved him at the deadline then. I’d rather pay Dzingel to pot 30 with Jack and use the extra cash for someone who can play worth a s*** in the bottom 6

Just got a text from source with knowledge. Evidently Popko, Rossi and Muehlman got poop canned for recovered email exchanges calling Botts a lazy ass bum.

Picking 12th right now.

They keep on this path, they may actually pick top 5. They're only 8 points out of the top 5.

I want to be mad, I just can’t be.

We have Dahlin and Eichel and some cap space + assets.

We will be fine

Dahlin is vey good but he’s learning what it’s like to play an 80 game season.

I just wonder how long it will be until Eichel has had enough and wants out. Unless he is on the ice, there is virtually no chance of the Sabres producing a goal.

The only thing I'm mad at are all the squandered points against supposed lesser teams. These (frank)ers should have been playing playoff hockey 10 games ago.

If only I had a nacho bar...

The disappointing part is that there hasn't been more growth from the other younger players. Can't trade/UFA all the holes they have.

I guess that’s one rookie he’s not afraid to play.

Maybe housley or his " approach " has helped sam this season?

Sabres are really young. Except the lesser players.

I know it feels that way, but other than Tage, Mitts, Dahlin, they really aren't that young.

There's a long list of guys who you'd like see have strong second halves, but just haven't.

Absolutely, but he’s still unreal for being 18.

I love Eichel, but he will be this teams second best player very soon

Eichel is 22. Rhino is 23. Risto just turned 24 a few months ago. The rest of the core is young.

They are in terms of games played.

The mix is bad

Mittelstadt hasn’t had a winger outside of a small sample of Sam who can legitimately play top 6, and Thompson has primarily played with Sobotka

I don’t think anyone should expect a ton of production.

I thought Mitts would produce more PP points

Edit- never mind, I misunderstood

In response to Housley saying " I like the fight in our group"
The best twitter reply was this

"The only thing fighting is that last bit of hair he's got trying to climb to the front of his head."

I’m obviously no fan of Sobatka...
but it’s not his fault that Tage shoots wide all the damn time
