3c 55-60 points to be successful
4c 25-40 points to be successful

Point wise anyways.

Wouldn't the 3rd or 4th line Center most likely be getting virtually no power play time?

PK time, yes, but power play time seems unlikely for players in those roles.

So far, after roughly 20% of the season, Casey has 1 goal and 1 assist at even strength and penalty kill combined.

That seems woeful for a hopeful 40 to 50 point 3C or 4C, no?

Think you're getting a little carried away on those point totals.

Sabres had 2 60 points players last year.

Sabres are getting virtually no production from the Eichel trade right now and Eichel is trending towards an MVP caliber player.

Here we go. I knew someone wanted to say it.

I think we need to trade the leafs a early 6th for a late 6th and then trade that 6th and left over synergy for Eichel. The good ol days

Seems like Granato is finally settling on lines, hopefully that helps Mitts. Had a glorious opportunity last night.

The way it sounds its like people want to go back to the eichel era. Man he was exciting. We also sucked ass with the worst culture in the league. Yup I said culture.

We just kept up or played better than the best teams in the league. Nope we didnt win. But we will. This team is mentally strong.

But there always needs to be something to complain about

- ZiggyBuff


Couldn't agree more

Same people were "why cant we be at least competitive "

Sabres are very competitive

Good post, cant really argue.

Tweener 2c/3c guy that plays on the #2 pp and #1pk
55 - 60 point guy

3c was too definitive 🤝

It’s not my fault we couldn’t get a stud in that deal like we did the ROR trade

I dont see that narrative anywhere.

The narrative has been steady: use the treasure horde of picks and prospects to make a playoff roster, and fix the goaltending problem.

A competent front office could have done so. They don't get moral victories and the benefit of the doubt anymore from me because they're proving beyond a shadow of a doubt this month that winning hockey games is not an organizational priority. 2.25 years into a build and winning games still means Richard.

2 years of embarrassing goaltending and the response this offseason was to lie to the fans and pretend they targeted poopty old Eric Comrie rather than just being left with him. How do you actually target a guy who's been waived from three nhl teams?

Kevin Adams is an amateur.

I honestly think at least 8 people on this board could have used the Sabres organizational assests and built a decent playoff team over the past offseason.

Meanwhile, Adams, Karamanos and Ventura are having their weekly circle jerk over college goalies one of whom will 100% never be a Sabre and another who would rather be at North Eastern.
