I dont care how you manipulate the #'s. Do whatever you want?

Skinner is not 4x the point producer or goal scorer, but he's making 4x + as much.

That is the argument, and you are failing to prove anything other than my point

- Boss34

skinner got 40 goals in an nhl season

girgens has 61 goals in 7 nhl seasons

There's no question about that at all. You need to apply your Sam logic to him, because it affects him even more so.
- Lunaion



Absolutely:

I think the big difference is , posters wanting to give sam 7+ max length. What a joke 😀

Olo 3.3 a year?
Sam 7 a year
Skinner 9 a year

All gift wrapped by jack eichel. No argument here.
The more pp1 with eichel the more inflated the stats.

I like the reinhart deal better than girgensons believe it or not. Giving The Sabres and agents had the ability to feel the market Between the 2 signings.

Everything is girgensons fault.

He flipped the nacho bar.
He told sam not to take pictures with fans
He told krueger that ka-boo-hoo-hun sucked
He picked luke Jack quinn over rossi
He hired the rink guard at the gm position
He stopped working on the yacht
He runs the ball and plays good defense

- Boss34

Galchenyuk for 1 year at a mil

or Girgens for 3 years at 2.2 mil


I mean Galchenyuk has more then twice as many goals or points


and is a fraction of the price

The Sabres will have that without Kahun and be just fine.

Stop being blinded by chad D and his advanced stats.

While advanced stats are nice ..... they are not all being.

- Sabretooth9

What does Chad have anything to do with this, more good players you have the better chance your hockey team is better. I would take Kahun over Girgs any day.

No way in hell Kahun cracks the top 6 with the top 7 players we have. Holy cow. People are franking brainwashed by analytics.

It’s funny. Kahun played 6 games for the Sabres and he’s anointed the next Jesus Christ.

Eakins who played a great 6 games with the jets. Sucks and is the worst player ever.

#analytics

The way things are going I bet we could sign kahun for like 900k.

There's still a chance Kahun comes back. After they get cost certainty with Olofsson they could finally offload a RHD and sign Kahun
- jcragcrumple

kahun 6 games with sabres 2 goals
girgens 12 goals in 69 games

See his last 3 weeks game stats ...... heck Ryan Fitzpatrick torched the jets while josh Allen couldn’t score a single td

Chiefs and titans game he was flat out bad. Mechanics and reads wise.

Allen’s main issue is reading zone defenses. He is flat out not good at it.

- Sabretooth9


Honest assessment:

He was fine during the titans game; Roberts causing an INT on the first series isn't easy to overcome. His rating and stats will also say this. The NFL also fcked over the Bills and Titans were in an us vs. the world mode.

In the KC game, KC ran the ball so much it limited Josh's opportunities. He absolutely reverted back to 2019 form and panicked. He was poor in this game

Jets - I actually thought he played well. The Jets played a 2 deep zone and he took what they game him, showing he learned from the previous 2 games. No punts is impressive. no td's was an anomaly, red zone drives from memory (I may be misremembering some):

1st drive - 4th and 4 from the 29 or have your inconsistent kicker try a 47 yard FG. I was screaming go for it, odds of making a 4th and 4 have to be better than kicking a 47 yard FG. Coaching mistake

Fumble, good play by LDE and Walker wiffed on the block. Josh transferred the ball to the left hand and the guy still punched the ball out. They get paid too.

Drive at the end of the half was brilliant to get that fg.

Davis TD on the pump fake was beautiful. Stupid formation penalty that analysts say they can't figure out what the penalty was for

Kroft has a 60 yard TD but stumbles. Throw honestly could have been better, but more often than not and nfl player scores on that

Inside the 10, 2nd and goal from the 6 - they hand off to singletary up the middle. stupid play call as singletary is terrible up the middle, never scores TDs and ran behind boettger. Idiot play call - do a play action pass there or an Allen sweep

2 mistakes Allen made in the redzone were on 3rd and 6 from the 6, he panicked a bit and left the pocket early, getting sacked. I don't know if anybody ended up being open but he should have been more patient. The 2nd mistake was the read ioption on 3rd and 2 on the last drive. He held onto the ball and was stopped short. If he hands off to Moss, Moss looks like he had wide open field ahead.

so in summary, bad coaching, penalties and a couple of Josh mistakes led to no td's. This week will be huge against Belacheat. Weather could be bad which could complicate things - i'm seeing a big game for Moss as he takes over for Singletary.

I would LOVE for the Bills to trade for another fast receiver (think Fuller from Houston). Losing Brown these last 3 games has hurt a lot.

I watched the highlights today again. There's a LB waiting to read either the handoff or the keeper. Im not so sure it's a 1st down if he hands it to moss. Granted the LB is flat-footed. Give it a second watch if you haven't. I know the commentators said that in-game but I'm not so sure. There is a man in position



Look at 83. Hes unblocked waiting for the handoff

I think the sabres need to move a body up front

if casey is ready, they have to give him a middle 6 spot
same for tage

if cozens is ready they have to give him a top 6 slot


and of course someone is going to get the synergy sobotka bump up between girgens, eakin, rieder and okposo

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Girgensons.

Perhaps they think he can play the “Zach Hyman” role in the top 6.

Forecheck when we are dumping it in, be the F3 when we enter with possession so that way he can cover up defensively.

It’s probably the only way he could live up to that Cap hit also.

Goalies have to make saves in the PK, Their SV% improves he is a better PKer as is the team. Linus PK SV% and high risk chances sucks. The goalie is the best PKer.
- GilPerreault11

Linus would probably tell u himself. If you are not going to block it don’t get in the way. The Sabres stats for shot blocking were bad. If there was a stat for how many were deflected towards or own net I’m sure the Sabres would be right up near the top. Better pk means more blocked shots or let the goalie see the puck. Bottom line is stats can sometimes be very misleading or not totally looking at the whole picture.
