The Sabres will trade Jack Eichel, Ryan O’Reilly, Sam Reinhart and Rasmus Dahlin all before saying good bye to Zemgus Girgensons.

But hey, there’s posters here (I won’t call them idiots) that like Girgensons and Eakin while trashing Eichel, Dahlin, Reinhart etc

Ugly give away last night, but he’s also second all time for points by a teenage d-man so I think he gets the benefit of the doubt.

I don’t think Joker is the right partner for him, but let’s see how things play out when the games matter.

- Pegullaville

Yeah, I agree. Plus, with a decent PP squad, he is one of the best PP point men in the game.
He needs a more stable, defensive minded partner so he can confidently carry the puck through the neutral zone and jump into plays without fear of coverage behind him

They are so inept. Everyday proves it more and more

I absolutely think they are quietly trying to sell.

I dont know how you are going to do it.

Blogging for this team has to be so painful.

My blogs would be.

Sabres still suck but i had to make a new blog.

it really is, they tanked for Eichel and ruined him in 5 years, tanked for Rhino, Traded him because they treated him like shat and he was nothing but a solid player for this team and more importantly kept his mouth SHUT. Now they are tanking again, why? unless they fix the organization first its just going to be the same thing all over again.

They really need a President, one that knows how to run an organization and can help mentor GMKA

What a mess.....

Nail on the head here and I'm surprised it isn't talked about more. You don't pair two young, offensively minded D that struggle defensively. Dahlin needs a shut down D partner IMO or at least someone who excels defensively, allowing him to really run wild.

It's the little stuff like broadcasting the away feed for the first two games that bothers me. First chance fans get to see the team and they're listening to the BJs announcers take a huge steaming dump on the team.

The Pegulas should be ashamed, but they've shown nothing close to remorse or apology for what they've done. And make no mistake, they did it, directly or indirectly.

The big stuff is worse. The little stuff is just unnecessary

I didn't know, so right on time for me. Had to assume these guys were going down, but I am a little surprised with Malone given we have a lack of centers.

After Granato took over Dahlin was the only player who perform at a + 50% Xgf and was on a + 50 point pace per 82

That’s better than any stretch Ristolainen has had

- sbroads24

he had 12 points in 28 games after ralph was fired

11 points in 28 games before ralph was fired


but he looked better under granato

I agree, Dahlin needs a solid stay-at-home D just as the Sabres do but the combo will help the tank but hurt Dahlin's defensive confidence.
