Risto, Hutton, Mitts, Thompson for Kane

Blackhawks retain 1.5M of Kane’s salary.

Sabres use that $1.5M in extra cap space as a buffer to absorb Kuemper’s cap hit when we trade Jonas Johansen and a 2nd rounder for him.

You have a lot more cap work to do than that.

Montour for a depth RHD to compete with Borgen for 3rd pairing minutes

Sure, and the 40 goals against he’s on the ice for at 5v5 makes the fact that he scores 18 goals moot.

He’s an asset on the man advantage and a liability at even strength.

His on ice goals against on another team don’t necessarily translate to us though
Especially if he’s on Eichel’s line

It was a rumor started by EK, I can't see it.

He’s played 3 seasons. This 5/9 thing doesn’t hold up for you or Fitz.

Year 2 was better than year 1. Year three has been a giant leap from year 2.

I already posted what his last 16 games has been.

4,024 passing yards, 29 passing TD’s, and 10 rushing TD’s with 7 or 8 picks (forgot which one)

It’s now been at least 16 games he’s been an above average starter with the last 9 being......elite

Good point

Special teams literally blowing the game for the Titans tonight.

Hate to see it.

3000 even strength minutes in both Ottawa and Florida say otherwise.

so wrong in every level Proof that one can't have an intelligent conversation with the unintelligent. Check any NFL ranking stat or any of the things Allen is doing that hasn't been done in the Superbowl era. I should expect this dribble from someone who sh*ts on Dahlin all hockey season. complain about the best player on the team to draw attention to oneself. What are you, a 14 year old?

Stop being bias about Allen. The games I named he was not good. Teams that play zone defense he’s struggled with big time. That’s a fact FYI Look those stats up. I brought that before anyone else.

The Seahawks defense is literally on pace for the worst pass def in nfl history. Pump the breaks a bit

And again. I’ve never once said anything bad or negative about dahlin. 😂😂. You seriously made that up.

I am not Bias other then being a Bill's fan, and still think he needs to grow. But please tell me how he was bad against the Jets and NE. Tennessee was a rough game and KC wasn't the best, but the defense didn't help much.

Surely not even close to all those goals scored while he was on the ice were his fault though

When John Brown was hurt you could tell it affected Josh Allen's game and the Bills offense. I am agnostic as to whether Josh Allen is elite especially after he ripped up the worst D in the NFL. I think he has grown by leaps and bounds since last year where he had stats that were in the bottom of the league. I am really glad he is the Bills QB and he is very good.

Jets game - Allen couldn’t finish and rack up tds and put away a terrible team. He even admitted he wasn’t good. (Go look at his press conference)

Patriots game - a god awful int that almost cost us the game. I get it was windy but overall not good. Over threw diggs by 20 ft. He faced literally 4th stringers and a backup defense and made them look elite. He struggled. (Yes I know the run game worked but this isn’t about the run game)

Good post Gil, not having Brown definitely hurt, and rumors are that he had a cracked clavicle, the bones didn't separate but that's why he was wearing the harness. Seattle was the first game since the 2nd half of the Raiders game that he didn't wear it.

He always takes the blame when he thinks he played bad, even when he's good he says he has stuff to clean up. They drove up and down the field on the Jets, they finished with 426 total yards and Allen accounted for 368 of those yards. Had a TD throw called back on a penalty, and a TE fall who could have scored and penalties killed 2 other drives. NE he only threw the ball 18 times and had a TD dropped in the end zone. Yes he threw a pick, but it happens. He did have 1 rushing TD. He needs to keep growing, but the kid is having a damn good season without a very reliable running game.

One of his drives they got to the Jets 20, they ran a reverse for -11 yards and then took a false start penalty. 2nd and 26. Allen’s fault?

Wide receiver lines up wrong, gets TD called back. Allen’s fault?

Tyler Kroft catches a 30 yard pass all alone, falls running. Allen’s fault?

He was absolutely good in the Jets game after the first two drives

Josh Allen is not Mahomes or Rodgers

He's having a very good year, has improved so much. Great thing is he still has more room to grow.

Goroppolo might not even be the best QB on his own team yet if Shanahan decided to keep running the football in the 4th quarter like he did the previous 3 he’d have a Super Bowl Ring.

It doesn’t matter if Allen is a top 5 QB or not. All that matters is that he isn’t a bottom 10 QB.

As long as he doesn’t turn the ball over the Bills will be fine as long they are able to get Singletary/Moss going and the defence keeps improving and look more and more like last years version.

I get what you mean, and agree to an extent, however he’s the sole reason they are 7-2.

They’re run DVOA is bad
They’re defensive DVOA is bad

They’re passing DVOA is top 5.

And if they improve those 2 things they will be scary good. And we might get that with the run game, because it looks like we will finally have the Oline at full strength for the first time this year.

Even if they don’t they’ve proved they can pass to win games.

It’s just weird. Like of course good he’s gonna tear up bad D’s.

All good QB’s do. It’s not new

And that’s unfortunately why all three of Allen, Wilson, and Rodgers will be watching the Super Bowl from their couch unless their respective teams can figure it out defensively.

Possibly yes.

But don’t you see the contradiction?

The defense isn’t good so they will get beat by....a good offense?

Bills just need to outscore their opponents
