80% of what Dahlin is supposed to be would be the Sabres best Defenseman in years by a country mile.

I think we can all agree that he's going to fine.

Like I said I am not advocating a trade, but 1 player does not make a team.
- Buff36

They don't but I'll take one star vs 2 roll players (I know you aren't advocating for that, I'm just saying) all day, every day, and twice on Sundays.

Boesner would be part of the package to. You guys are funny, everybody wants a quick fix, there is none out there right know. Dahlin is gonna be good, might take how many years before he gets there.

"4th Line"

Larry - 1g 1a -2, 14 minutes a night - No points in last 8 games

Girgensons - 1g 3a -4, 13 minutes a night - No points in last 8 games

Okposo - 1g 4a even, 11 minutes a night - No points in last 6 games

I think all of these points came in like 2 games. Die by the Blade is so incredibly impressed with them too.
- jcragcrumple

if botts had let girgens and larsson walk
bury okposo in rochester

and had a 4th line of smith, oglevie and lazar


at least we would have something different to complain about and actually have an energy 4th line instead of an overplayed castaways

You don’t trade away generational talent ......no matter how long he takes to develop

Andy Delmore was never "fine".

It's hysterical and sad that people are ready to bury this kid or compare him to Andy (frank)ing Delmore after a bad stretch during his sophomore season.

Maybe it isn't sad. It's typical.

I think you're taking my comments wrong.

Not even if that trade pushes your team over the top and makes you competitive for the next 7 to 10 years and brings a cup or 2.

Show me the trade.

Show me the trade.
- Powerslave

I don't have that trade, that's why I write on a message board and am not a GM. Just saying not 1 player on this team should feel safe, especially if said player COULD get you a package that puts your team over the top.

- Buff36

At this stage, we're not even a playoff team.

It would take a ton to put us over the top (into a Cup contender), and I don't see how one organization can provide us the Sabres with all of that for one, Rasmus Dahlin.

Glad they are paying Skinner 9mil to play with Erod and Sheary.

What a joke.

MoJo to miss 3 games

Never ever ....... you can offer my Crosby malkin ovie for Dahlin. I said 1000% no.

Maybe not now, but if Crosby and Malkin were 4 or 5 years younger, I would do it in a heartbeat.

2019-20 season

eichel 19 points
ror 19 points
- homiedclown

Same ppl screaming that Botts needs to “make it happen” and get a 2C, are the same ones who said bullsh!t like:

ROR is overrated
Can’t win with ROR
Look at StL record (a month+ in)
He ruined that locker room

Tage will score 25goals
Sobotka gives us good depth

And my all time favorite:
“Berglund is FAST”


And I’m sure some will try to blame what’s happening in San Jose on Kane...
even though he’s on pace for 56goals

Jack on track for 39/51/90
Sam on track for 39/33/72
VO on track for 34/24/58
Skins on tract for 34/14/48
Mojo on track for 19/29/48
Dahlin on track for 5/53/58
Mitts on track for 14/20/34
Risto on track for 0/34/34
Joker on track for 5/24/24
Montour should give something along the lines of Risto's 34 pts

For their assigned role, most are producing adequately.
Some more adequately than others

The Defensive results are very reasonable, especially given the sh!show of last year.

The issue is no production from Sheary, Vesey, Sobotka for their assigned role in the top 9.
For this season, upgrading 2 of those positions would also provide an uplift to their linemates of Skins, Mojo, Mitts.

The required action is very clear.

Not necessarily. Skinner has shown the ability to score 5 on 5 where he is at.

Now recalculate these stats from the rangers game and on. They would look very different.
