I watched Johansson wiff on a half dozen jack eichel passes in 1 game on the pp.

Build around a 7 goal scorer, that's the ticket.

We have had a terrible year, like no other year in Sabres history, and you dont understand why people want change? That's on you.

Build around Johansson šŸ˜€

Wtf are you talking about? This year is far from the worst we've seen

I'm not saying to build around johansson. Dont spin this because you have no logical counter argument. He is the type of piece you surround your core players with. Did pretty well in washington, and Boston traded for him on route to one win from the cup

You're better than this

Dont forget the part about people wanting change.. as in change to make the team better.

Something that doesnt come with trading johansson for a pick

Guess I dont want that though

He's been OK. It's a seller's market right now. I'm listening to offers on him for sure.

You're listening on anyone not named eichel or dahlin

Trading him for picks or even a B prospect is not what anyone should be looking for and it isnt the reason people actually protested at the arena.

It isnt the change anyone should want anymore

Yeah I would rather have him next year.

Heā€™s good on the wing, and versatile

But the guy who signed him canā€™t find good forwards to save his life

It wouldn't take a ton for me to move on from him and take my 4.5m of cap space back next year. A 2nd and a prospect would do it.

I donā€™t think Hans was a thing until after dale. Hell, I donā€™t even think he was wearing a full face helmet. He was the text book definition of old school racer...

A lot of drivers wore them, they were not compulsory until after.

He found skinner, I know some like to debate that too though

A real 2c, or at least a true C of the 2/3 variety would shape the roster up big time. Keeping what little we have now with it

Some still want to tank, its laughable at this point

Seriously, as a fan name a few seasons less disappointing?

There was a revolt in the plaza .
$6 tickets . 1/2 empty building
National media in regards to the Sabres failures

He has 1 year left. If we were closer, yes keep him.

I guess it's a difference in opinion, on how close we are to needing that piece around the core.

I'm disappointed in his play. 7 goals is part of why we are 8 points out. Spin or no spin, he has disappointed.

I'm not trying to be better than you. Just having a discussion. šŸ¤

I was being sarcastic.

Johansson and Skinner were great adds.

Vesey meh, Sheary meh. Sobotka sucks and Frolik was pointless.

Iā€™d like Lazar to stay as the 12/13 forward

It's not the first time tickets have been 6 dollars. It's been this way since they started tanking

Fans essentially revolted at the end of the regier era. Chanting to fire him every game

I think we can agree that there is a lot that hasnt been good enough. Offing a solid player under contract isnt the solution though

Hah i did not catch the sarcasm

I dont mind lazar. Sheary only shows up every 15 games, have been done with him and his lack of size for quite some time now

Agreed with Okposo here for another year
Only want 2 of 3, and prefer Lazar over Larsson...so he would be odd man out.

I want 3rd line upgraded, anchored by Johansson if they keep him.
Mojo might be valuable as a trade chip, especially with Bolts getting Coleman.
Could Sabres squeeze something valuable out of say Boston?

Devils traded Johanson to Boston last season for a 2nd and I think a 4th
