Eichel, Skinner, Sam, Olofsson, Mitts & Cozens looks like a pretty nice top6 to me should the kids work out
And i think that could be as soon as next year
That should be 2 good scoring lines

The Girgs-Larsson-Okposo line is a good defensive unit
And then you’ve got the other bottom6 line made up of Asplund, Ruotsalainen & Tage,
all young with skill & potential
Plus Lazar if we bring him back

And that doesn’t include if we make a move to bring in any more forward help

Nope, don't need anyone with experience guiding, challenging, reviewing the Roster Plans. Nope, it is all working perfectly! Look, we are 9-2-2!

Even better, what’s the Sabres record since pegs took over and put this successful structure together?

Again, the sharks, two crappy season, adjust the front office structure... pegs, 8-9 crappy seasons, keep the structure in place, it’s working ... just... fine....

You should have some mighty taco delivered to Cali... talk about a clean out, my last mighty pack, I wasn’t right for a week! Now I drive by a mighty taco and my but hole puckers... I hear celery is good juiced for cleaning, might not stink as bad.

You should see a dr before your feet rot off.

Not true, Mitts has been doing quite well after a slow start down there

LOG line has been good, inarguably so actually

Your statements are showing your true lack of knowledge about the team this season dude

Yup, 1 point more than NHL Great Remi Ellie, and 4 points less than Top 10 scorer Curtis Lazar...all in roughly same number of games. He best turn it on soon, he's enter Nylander territory.

8 pts in the last 11 games, I guess he hasn't improved since he first went down there.

It really is getting bad.

At one point, during the drought, I had said that I officially considered every decision the Bills made as the wrong one until proven otherwise.

The Sabres are at that point with me now.

Let's see where he lands.
To come back up he needs to dominate the AHL, I'd say something like 1.25 pts per game over a full seasons length. If he achieves that by next TDL, bring the boy back up.

I said that before, he is starting to improve, but still has things to work on.

In 3 months he will be with us as long as Nylander was and we are glad we finally dumped him. This offseason we should be dumping Mitts on the first sucker worse than Botts that wants him

No he’s Tyler Ennis, remember? The guy who averages 30 goals per 82 games is Tyler Ennis

I dont understand.

Skinner is having a disastrous season, and you cannot deny that.


"He needs people to play with" is the argument.

Making 9 mil a year he needs to be driving play and making those around him better, not hoping for someone to come along and he can ride along.

Well actually he is starting off worse.

I do think his season is simply mirroring that of the entire team, and I do think as the team gets better, so will he, but you're right. There is no excusing the results of this year. At $9 million per, you need to make a much better impact.

I know I can be a Richard about this stuff, but I am just giving my honest opinion. Mittelstadt doesn’t have the work ethic in place to make it in the NHL. When he couldn’t do pull-ups at the combine I knew he was lazy.

Think about it. You’re a 16/17 year old kid with the most testosterone pumping through your veins that you’ll ever have, who is a highly touted prospect as a professional athlete. You stand to make tens of millions of dollars. You can’t get motivated to get in the best shape possible? How about just decent shape?

I understand it’s a sport about endurance and lower body and core strength, but give me a break.

The kid has got a high level of natural skill and has never had to work hard to excel at hockey. Now that he is in the best league he can no longer dominate and has to work hard and doesn’t seem to have it in him.

I saw a picture of Mitts and Dahlin while in Sweden for the two games in November. They were wearing tshirts and looked weak and small in their chests and arms. This is professional athletics! They look like an average high schooler’s physique.

Eichel, Reinhart, Ristolainen, Tyler Myers, etc. etc. all came back after their rookie seasons in great shape. They added muscle and were noticeably better developed physically. Drury and guys on our team at that time were in the weight room after the games.

Why do we have so many people in this organization with whom this is an issue? Tage is in his like third NHL season and the thing with him is he still needs to add muscle? I know he is tall, but this isn’t an issue with 99.9% of NBA players his height and age. Dahlin looks like a 13 year old girl in a T-shirt and Mitts can’t do a single pull-up nor bench 160 pounds more than one time?

We need these kids to take it seriously and be in the best shape possible.
