If Buffalo would have drafted Leech or Dampousse in the 86 draft instead of Shawn Anderson with the 5th overall, we would have at least 9 cups

Is it that an abomination to state that the Sabres top 3 forwards currently aren't good enough to go deep into the playoffs?

They are fine if spread out into other teams and not being the focus but to lead a team to the Cup, in my opinion, is not the cocktail for sustained, deep success.

Jack can

Sam would be fine if he didn't expect 7 million + and be one of the top wingers and instead be a 5.5 million and maybe fit him on the 3rd line or use him and something else to try to upgrade a first or 2nd line winger.

They are stuck with Skinner and he could play on the 2nd line with a good center and another strong winger and be part of a winner but 10 mil, 9 mil, and Sam is going to want 7.5 mil and that trio is not good enough in my opinion for that amount of money against the cap with Dahlin coming up wanting big bucks if he gets out of his funk. Olofsson is going to get a nice paycheck if he keeps this up.

Another thing, fans aren't filling the arena during the week against the Stanley Cup Champion and other teams. Maybe more dynamic, exciting players than Sam Reinhart and many other forwards besides Jack would help as well and dealing Reinhart + and maybe + would help in this regard.

Better and exciting is my thesis.

I don't even think they are playoff team right now, very close though. Do I think they need another high end player (perhaps better than Reinhart) to be a legit cup contender? Yeah. But as for right now, to get in the playoffs (the short term goal) the core is fine, its the middle that will kill their chances.

I am enjoying watching professional hockey in Buffalo this year. Am I strange? Should I argue over and over about things I cannot control, just so I can fit in on HB?

Think I'll finish work, shop for presents, and bake some cookies tonight with the fam. Maybe have a beer or 2.

Would you pay sam 7.5 x 8 years?

That’s a good plan, but take the MVP off any team and it’s a serious hit.

You don’t have too many Malkin/Crosby Matthews/Tavares situations.

And it isn’t reasonable to expect that to be the case here.

If Eichel is out, we’re (frank)ed.

We were (frank)ed when he went out and ROR was the #1 center

Eichel's better.

Team totals. I also included a damaged Dahlin for the Sabres. Blues have been winning without Tarasenko so it shouldn't really make a difference.

In a perfect world we draft 12 all stars with our 12 first round picks

doesn't work out that way


also in a perfect world, fedex delivers me the $600 worth of fish tank lights they have had since 1 am Saturday, 20 miles from my house

instead I have to wait until tomorrow because 150 hours is not enough time to get them from the warehouse to the delivery truck

Last year's collapse plus a much better Bills team.

People forget that this is how it's been when both teams were at least playoff contenders or even pretenders because it's been so long. Until the Bills are over, Sabres' attendance takes a hit.

- buffalofan19



19 agreed with the Bill's taking he spotlight
Also tuesday close to Christmas.

1st time ever , I couldn't give away or sell a ticket.
Had to eat 1.

Stanley cup champs
Sabres playing well and scoring
Ror returned
Eichel hotter than dogs breath

Very thin crowd.

Question to ponder :

Was the team better without Dahlin ?

Scandella and Bogo are skating together, which undoubtedly means at least one will sit. CM is the extra.

disagree

reinhart had a goal and an assist last night and he sucks a$$

- homiedclown


He did not have a great game last night all goals are not created equal as people are; the puck went off his stick.

The assist was secondary and if we go by brauds logic, which we don't tend to do (special teams don't matter, faceoffs don't matter, Kreugler sucks, get Olofsoon off the first line, etc, etc, etc) it is not as important.

Anyway, Reinhart hasn't been that great and didn't have a noteworthy game last night and which has been his trend, tips be damned!
