Girgensons hasn't scored since Nov 5th, and has 1 assist in that time. Are PK has been atrocious and he has had a plethora a chances to score, half the time he misses the net.

Last night that line had SJ hemmed in their own zone for a solid minute and christ was it ugly. Big whifferoo from Zemgus and prior to that he wiped out.

It’s not the 70s anymore dude
You don’t need to “put fear into anyone” to win hockey games now-a-days

I’d u dislike Krebs so much, u shouldn’t care if he gets hurt anyways 🤣🤣🤣

- jdfitz77


I don't dislike Krebs. I dislike the fact he's not ready as a 21-year old and is taking a roster spot that could be utilized a differnt, better way.

Peyton krebs does not, has not, will not make the Sabres better in 2022-23. Peyton cannot protect himself let alone anoyone else. He is, as they say, a net negative for us this season.

Pretending Reaves wouldn't add something to the team while taking away nothing (since we get nothing from Krebs) just shows what I've said before: some people would rather be "right" than correct. I'm sure you're right in your mind. I'm sure the Sabres have been wheeling four lines at will in your head.

rossi literally almost died? missed an entire year with a serious illness? how can you compare the development of him vs quinn lmao
- robz228


I'm not a gloom and doom guy, and I hope rossi recovers and has a splendid career.

But, JACK QUINN was the correct pick.

Especially now, considering the health issues.

Watching Cozens the last couple of games if he can play like that he will enter superstar territory

Seriously, the play he made in the defensive zone on the Quinn goal and the pass on the Paterka goal was fantastic.

Cozens name 2nd superSTAR of the week after McDavid.

Would Lundell be an incorrect pick? He was ranked higher, was a great fit, and is off to a better start than Quinn. The draft class in general is off to a nice start.

Didn't Rossi get sent down? 1 assist in 18 games. Perfetti looks like a player but Quinn is better imo

I thought Cozens was a mistake pick. I wanted Zegras, the last 3-4 games is changing my mind.

Yep, lundell would be a good pick as well.

Just cant remember pegsville or 24 slobbering all over lundell?

The amount of KA bashing for the quinn pick was ridiculous.

KA bashing in general is ridiculous......

My thing for me is he does things well you dont look for.
for example in the 3rd instead of chipping up the wall and turning the puck over he held the puck and started a transition out of the zone. Hes improving

Skinner on track for around 40 goals and 90 points. Still not worth it but not the albatross that he was with Krueger

I can stomach 30 goals 60+ points on it. Pay the premium on goals

I agree, if he can put in 30-40 goals he won't be the problem on this team when it comes to losing.

We are missing 2 NHL defensemen from our roster and an above average goalie would be nice.

100% agree Fitz and Bryson is an ahl pairing.

Its frustrating, I can't be that hard to replace Fitz or Bryson we have some B+ prospects and 2nd rounders usually that can get you something better than Fitz, Pilut or Bryson.

Myers that passed through waivers would have been better than either of them.

I would think there has to be a list of 5-10 guys we could land with a 3rd round pick

Still think LA and the Sabres could make decent prospect swap partners, they have a lot of RD. Maybe Minnesota with Faber there, him and Johnson could make a pair for them for a decade.
