it's him or henrique


or going lean

There no other possible options?

Their 3rd line Center in Bonino outscored him 5v5 with worse wingers against tougher competition,
with heavy Def zone starts vs RyJo’s heavy offensive starts
And it’s not just points
The guy’s effort & attitude is questioned bc he routinely disappears

Do u really wanna bring an $8mil per year guy onto this team who doesn’t try hard?
That’s the last thing we need

All the talent in the world doesn’t matter if u don’t have heart
- jdfitz77

Wow.
Common ground.

The Sabres need to get a little gritty in their forward lineup, not goons but ones who don't play on the periphery, a few Colombus type players for if/when they make the playoffs.

Domi would be that guy for me. He’d fit nicely at 2c. Even though I know it’s RyJo day... Domi has the sandpaper you want.

How am i doing that?

U claim he’ll have a good season here bc he’s with Skinner
But won’t explain his bad season this year with good linemates

There’s a very direct comparison there
- jdfitz77

Youre oscillating between either "Ryjo isn't that good" and "the predators will never accept that deal"

When you get pressed on one of the points you move to the other.

You know what you're doing.

He is RFA, so he might make 4-5 mil a year. Why did they move him to wing and supposedly are happy with their centers? I hope they called about him.

Interesting how u went to an extreme that i never even implied instead of just answering a simple question
- jdfitz77

if we don't fill that second line center, and another blah season Jack will be gone


hate to be that blunt

my biggest fear is they go lean and expect casey, cozens and tage to be the help needed up front

Have to do something

you’re taking a risk on an $8mil player with effort & attitude issues coming off a terrible season
- jdfitz77

you have brought this up several times


where is the proof of attitude issues or lack of effort?


seems if that was the case, they would have ripped the A off of his jersey

he has had that A for 3 years

I’m making 2 separate responses to your 2 separate points

It’s not 1 or the other, it’s both
He’s not that good, AND i doubt they’d take Okposo

So do u think we are at the “Hail Mary” stage then?
Bc you’ve gotta admit,
there’s multiple red flags in acquiring RyJo

No proof, but that’s the “talk”
What do u want me to do, get an affidavit from the coach?

Maybe it’s just unfounded speculation
But the guy has never achieved the height he was supposed to
It would be like giving Sam an $8mil contract
Then him having a season with serious regression
Obviously terms like effort & attitude will get thrown around
Makes more sense than it just being a fluke

Did i miss where this was somehow a funny joke?
Bjugstad (who’s name u always spell wrong- on purpose?) blows

Get a better schtick dude

There's no point in engaging him on the topic.

He doesn't like Johansen and he's going to keep moving the goalposts.

Bottom line is that caliber of player is probably the best the Sabres will do

Here's some
2:30 minutes less per game compared to last season.
23% drop in shots taken
64% Oz-starts to 53%

His shooting % went up about 35% which tells me his shots were coming from low Danger areas.

Buy low candidate for sure.
Do you buy mustard when it us on sale, or wait for a price increase?

I will say that $8m is alot of money...Adam's has to dump something...Mojo would be easier than Okposso and if Tolvanen is coming back to play say 3LW that could be smart.

They have to put out a hit on Okposo, pure and simple.

There no other possible options?

Are there any for a true 2C?

You will embrace the bjustead and you will love it.

I'm almost 100% certain Bjustead would be a Sabre if JB were still GM
