It’s unfortunate.

He’s a great human being, class act but his time in the NHL has come and gone.

I would send one of Montour or Miller to the Flames for Bennett

Why would Calgary want another Dman, do they have injury problems.

Well your bet would be 100% wrong
Having a DE1 who doesn’t sack the QB all that much is very underwhelming imo
I think sacks matter
AGAIN, they aren’t the “end all be all”
But they do matter imo

Has it been 7years since we’ve had a legit pass rusher?
I can’t think of a guy who been in the double digits in recent years
And i do believe it’s a major flaw in our defense

Bc simply “putting pressure” on a guy like Mahomes often isn’t enough
This was proven when he tore us to shreads last weekend
Maybe sacking him more won’t be enough either,
but setting them back more wouldn’t hurt

- jdfitz77

That’s fine. I wish he had more sacks too. I don’t think he’s a top 10-15 DE.

My entire point is that he does his job, and he doesn’t play 95% of the snaps like a TJ Watt or Barrett who get 12+ sacks

Tage for Bennett

Apparently ARZ need a RD a couple ppl here have said, so:
RD + for Kuemper

Hutton given away to any team for nothing, or put him on the taxi squad if necessary

Pick up an LD3 somewhere reasonably cheap


That locks us into a playoff spot imo

He blows up on people that don’t vote. Then proclains that NY “was always blue anyways!” And he didn’t vote for Biden. Simply Just anti-trump. Class A citizen through and through.

Well if he’s so excellent, shouldn’t he play more?
Not like our other DEs are any good at all either

PS.
His sacks the last 6 years:
4.5, 4.5, 7.0, 4.0, 6.0, 5.0
so it’s been going on way before McD rotating guys
Averaging just over 5 per season just isn’t good enough from your DE1

"The Bills need to hold the ball for 35+ minutes to beat the Chiefs"

*Had more TOP than Kansas City this season

*Leading team averaged 32 minutes TOP

Gotta love how the same 2 guys just make crap up on here every single day and repeatedly get proven wrong and look like fools.

Someone convinced me that if Sam had passed skinner the puck, skimmers hands would have worked.

Basically, its olofsson's fault for passing and not shooting.
Should have expected jeff to not expect a pass from him.

It was 5 x 5, skimmer probably figured olofsson sucks, so I'm not a gonna be ready.

Skinner wants and should be in the top 6, he will waive to go to Seattle to get away from Krueger. Ron Francis will be a focal point along with top 6 minutes.
- SABRES 89


Absolutely. It's sad how we finally have a legitimate goal-scorer and our first since Vanek, yet Krueger gives him the Afinogenov treatment that Lindy was so well-known for.

I might as well order my Skinner Kraken jersey off dhgate right now.

Can we hold more than 50% of his salary? That’s rhetorical. They aren’t taking him. even if he and Adams were further down on their knees than fitz they still aren’t taking him.
