If he gets 40 points this season I would be blown away

He might be able to do it if he keeps getting PP time

Would be something, can they keep the pace of the game up though. It's a long year.

Max Comtois is a healthy scratch tonight. For possible trade-to-ducks relevance.

Here's the problem, the Sabres are giving 110% effort as like this is the Stanley Cup Final. Whereas, the opposition is treating these games in the schedule for what they really are. A couple years ago when they won a multiple games in a row, everyone was just like this. How about putting ZERO expectations on them other than that they work hard every night. Regardless of the outcome. The REAL test is gonna be Feb., March and April when most teams are firing on all 8 cylinders. If they look good then, THEN it's time to start showing up to watch them.

"Perhaps all of this comes off as too much doom and gloom. It’s not intended that way. It’s just a reminder that this team is still an awfully long way from truly contending for the Stanley Cup. The Sabres need to keep bringing the type of intensity that fans have lauded them for during the early portion of the schedule. The team will at least be mediocre (rather than brutal) if they can maintain their level of passion throughout the long grind of an 82-game schedule."

TB has first priority, apparently. Expected they'll take him back.

If they don't intend on keeping him on the big roster they need to throw him right back to waivers. I know the caps did it with Fabio. When they reclaimed Fabs he went straight to the minors.

I guess if you reclaim a guy you can send him right to the minors.

Hes played not great through the first four games, IIRC.

Could be something, could be just young kid needs a seat upstairs.

They're a pretty bad team, but he's been one of their better players, at least on paper. "Something else" may apply.

The only guy with relatively bad metrics with over 30 minutes of play (excludes Joker/Mitts) is Drake. Has 4 OZ starts and 16 neutral/defensive starts.

How does he compare to the entire Ducks team? He'd be 7th best.
