Not having a real 2nd line or 3rd line is what sunk them

As of a week ago, there were only 5 goalies who had played as many or more games than Ullmark who had a better save percentage

Theres just no way to pin their results with him in the net on him. He did his part.

This roster is fundamentally flawed

Huh? Hutton was horrible
It’s extensively obvious

Nylander wouldn't be good here after how we treated his brother

It absolutely is. Go find the receipts

your first statement

"special team's don't matter much"


I dont have to look it up

I would never have gotten into a 6 month pissing contest if you had said that

during that entire pissing contest you never said that once



shame on you

SHAME SHAME SHAME

Nylander wouldn't be good here because his father is insane.

Some of the possible signs and symptoms of CTE can occur in many other conditions, but in the few people with proven CTE , symptoms have included:
Difficulty thinking (cognitive impairment)
Impulsive behavior.
Depression or apathy.
Short-term memory loss.
Difficulty planning and carrying out tasks (executive function)

Keep calling me crazy. But Botts should have never been hired with his history of head trauma.

The poor guy has brain damage and obviously can’t perform the tasks of his job.

It really affected him during Skinner trade talks
Probably could’ve gotten him for a 5th round pick if he wasn’t brain damaged

While I’ll admit I’d like them to be better. Goaltending is in last in terms of what I want this team to Target.

Hopefully putting a more competent team in front of them will help them, hopefully.

I’m sure we can do both

wow 87 pages! I'll try to have part 2 up Asap


On the PK discussion, it is worth going back to the old saying that your goalie needs to be your best penalty killer. Not that the Sabres have done them any favours, but relative to the quality of chances they've faced, both Ullmark and Hutton have performed poorly on the PK.

Botts is the worst GM in the league

The guy is a clown.

This team is closer to a playoff team than we think. If we got Just average goaltending this year we’d be either contending for a playoff spot or comfortably in one. Goaltending has been hideous. Now, we’re not close to a Stanley cup contend team - we Need a top 10 goalie, a 2C and another top 6 winger for that
- turbo044

Yep. Pretty much what I’ve been saying over the course of past hour and for much of the last month and a half.

Goaltending has this team in the playoffs.

Adding a 2C (to get Skinner going) and top 9 winger will have teams take us seriously as a perennial contender moving forward. ( Assuming Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Joker take another step forward and Cozens becoming a factor on the big club)

I'm starting to get the impression that you don't like getting lumped in with Botts.

I observe the subtext you've put forth.

Well Brian Burke on Sportsnet just told a story on how he was in talks with Buffalo about Risto while he was with the Flames and his analytics guys told him he was an absolute disaster and that made him back away.

Gotta love it.
