Risto 6th all time defenseman scoring in team history.

245 points and in the prime of his career.

You could see why some people would think he doesnt suck and isnt 5th on this current team. Right?

Myers 14th - 100+ points behind sucko55

So you’re FINALLY admitting you were wrong about Myers then?

You’re right that neither one of these guys panned out to be the “#1” defenseman they were drafted to be
But that doesn’t mean they’re “3rd pair guys who suck”

You’re just exaggerating again bc of your disappointment


We ALL know u don’t like Risto dude
Fine
Just let it go ffs
He’ll be gone soon enough & u can find someone else on our team to hate on

You brought up a post from yesterday, randomly today

Disagree

If u can acquire a good YOUNG player,
then go for it
He fit our timeline just fine


- jdfitz77

we got dahlin after his third/final year year


timeline clearly was not right going after ror

pick 8
pick 8
pick 1


still think they needed 1 more year, grab a Dubois or Tkachuk and then made the moves


but the owner was having no part of that at the time

Myers is a bottom pairing D man who always gets top 4 minutes

Coaches love him = good too 4 D man.

It’s flawed logic.

They both suck

Jim Benning screwed up one of the easiest GM jobs in the league.

Their amateur scouting staff hits home runs or at the very least doubles, and he butchers it with stupid moves at the professional level.

If Green takes the axe because of it I hope Buffalo can get him

U talk sh!t about Risto ALL THE TIME

No one here is saying he’s a “#1”
Not even Boss

Is there anyone on the Sabres that you actually like?
Let’s talk about that instead
Assuming we are rebuilding again....
who do u see as part of our next core?

[quote=Boss34]

Risto has also played here for 8 years.......

He should be leading in every category

But they painted the ice for an entire year!

The failure,
was that gmtm put together an absolutely awful defense overall
Not being able to get the puck out of our zone & up ice absolutely killed us

Timeline was just fine
GMTMs execution is what was off
He built a bad defense that killed the team’s froward growth

ROR and Kane were both 24 in their 1st season with us
That’s young enough to be part of a team that grows into a good one
Gmtm (and others) just killed us with mistakes compounded by additional mistakes

And if we’d waited a year or 2 to try & get them,
we’d have missed out
Maybe we could’ve gotten different good players later on? But maybe not?
Impossible to say

That's your opinion

What’s the blog title again?
U guys were all talking about him

I’ll try again though....
who do u see here as part of the “new core” in a rebuild???

Peters: "if you're Kevyn Adams, do you hang up the phone if Byfield and Turcotte aren't available?"

Craig Button: "Absolutely you do"
- jcragcrumple

Button is 100% correct

The rebuild could make us a Juggernaut if done right draft Beniers

- The assets we get from jack

- kings 1st 21 or ducks 21 (top 10 ten )

- Byfield or Zegras

- we get a top 3 in 22 draft

- wright
- savoie
-lambert

Center depth
savoie
Byfield or Zegras
Beniers
Cozens
Casey





- gerbe75pts

Eklund >> Berniers

Guenther better than both?

Eklund >> Berniers

Buffalo is probably locked in on matty with him playing at worlds

Guenther better than both?
- kingcong39

Wouldn't mind it Probably be the 1st overall pick if not for covid

Buffalo is probably locked in on matty with him playing at worlds
- gerbe75pts

If we could get the Kings or Ana pick, I want them to take Berniers and Eklund.

But if we only have one, I want Eklund. imo, far and away the best pure offensive prospect in this years draft

No kidding

Wow, your like a hemorrhoid that won't go away.

Ror was 24 when the Sabres traded for him...jack eichel is 24

*shrugs*

He sure looks good

Wow, your like a hemorrhoid that won't go away.
- Buff36

Appreciate your maturity
Nice job

Ror was 24 when the Sabres traded for him...jack eichel is 24

*shrugs*
- Michael Pachla

And Eichel is also still young enough that he can be part of a “core” to build around

Just doesn’t look like it’ll be here
