I'm not sure why we can't be very happy with many developments lately.

Team has been playing pretty well over the last 11 games...Krueger's leadership is evident and an asset going forward.
Eichel is proving to be elite, with a complete game, and showing on ice leadership
Sam has 5 points in last 5 games, 8 in last 11
Skinner is in a slump like many goal scorers do, but has managed 5 pts in 11 games, while playing with a variety of players in Mitts, Vesey, Sheary, Larsson, Mojo
Olofsson is playing great, having adjusted to the NHL and found his 5v5 game
Joker continues to play well and look like a good vet
Scandella has emerged as a steady influence playing well after foot surgery in the offseason
Risto in playing well after his minutes were reduced to manageable levels
Montour playing well
Miller looks ok
Ullmark picking his game up and getting better
Larsson has found some offensive spark
Okposo returns and playing a very good game

The above bodes well for the future as many of those guys will be here beyond this year.

Botts now needs to fill in the gaps.
He has the assets to make a couple solid acquisitions through trades which should be cheaper to acquire than going the FA route.
It's all on Botts

Ok. Cool. I don't know what to tell you.

It's not me who's bothered by Skinner's play.

He was all over the ice again last night.

Only 7.5 more years. It will go by quick

He needs to use his linemates more, you are right, he was all over the ice, but he's not a 1man show.

Part of which because he didn’t go spending like crazy last year to appease the “win now” crowd.

Dylan Cozens is just the cherry on top now.

The worst goal differential in the NHL last season belonged to the LA Kings with -61.

The Detroit Red Wings are currently -62.

It's December 11.







Thought we needed to know we weren't the worst any more.

They have the right man at the helm, though.

Cole will be the worst contract in baseball in 2 years if not sooner.

He is going to regress extremely quickly.

He is going to be the next Tim Lincecum to fall off the face of the earth.

He is getting better as he goes, nothing has dropped of with him, he is the perfect pitcher for them in there 4 or 5 year window with this young team.

Sources say #Sabres and Sam Reinhart are closing in on a deal in the neighborhood of 8 years/$60 million. Additional sources say Pegullaville is going to lose his marbles

- jcragcrumple

Wow. Botts could’ve had him at 5x5. But I guess he preferred the bridge deal route.

In a stunning move, the Buffalo Sabres have just extended Zach Bogosian for 4 more years. I am hearing the term will be roughly 5 mil per season. Details coing soon.

That’s 5 head coaches fired since the Red Wings last won a game.
