and on the contrary, you've got a guy like Jost, where the same community is sitting there with their "why" and "k" face, all the sudden surprised because the team that claimed him had a role that actually fit him, and what do you know, he's doing his job.

This isn't about rubbing anything in anyone's faces. It IS about, how much do we actually know?

So jost is better than asplund

Lots of words, good post

I'm going to play your game because I want you to know that the way you feel about Asplund is the way everyone else felt about Ristolainen.

Jost has been better with Kyle and Zemgus. Asplund has been better with Krebs.

Mitts and VO has sucked Jost, Krebs, Vinnie and Asplund into the depths of hell.

- TheSabresTaco


Asplund is the better player. Jost is a better C. Think it's that simple.

Regardless of your jumbo mumbling, risto had stats to back up his play.

4 time 40 point defenseman.

Teams were lined up to give away their 1st round picks.

Asplund is an ahl player that blows donkey d!ck

It’s funny how much flack Eichel and Reinhart get for the lack of success the Sabres had during their tenure here.

But everyone defended Risto playing like the worst d-man in hockey for 25 minutes a night and wondered why we lost games.

Seeing some Okposo talk. 1 goal in 25 games. He’s clearly a step or 2 slower than he was last year when he was somewhat affective. I’d rotate him out for Asplund

100% this. I agree. But since we slapped the C on his chest. They won’t do that out of respect

Most likely no OBJ.

Cowboys leaked reports he won’t be ready till basically the superbowl if obj is lucky.

Trey took a year, and this is OBJ's 2nd left knee tear. Not a surprise he likely wouldn't play this year

Yes, I agree. Makes for an impossible situation. If he does not wear the C, he sits a lot I bet

He started the year on 1st line then second line correct? Then dropped to 4th due to I’m guessing lack of production

Duffer has thought.

Switch Okposo and Olofsson. Try and spark a couple goals from Okposo who only has one this season, and split up Vic and Mitts.

One hot week from Olofsson and his trade value can skyrocket.

- lacaprup


the only way Okie is getting points is dishing the puck to Tage and Tuch. I said it before the season and I will say it now, he is old and slow. looks even older and slower this season. He should be traded if anyone shows interest in him come Trade deadline time.

I still for the life of me I don't understand why the slapped the C on his chest, an "A" would of been perfectly fine, Many PPL want to extend Okie still... I have wanted him off this team for 4 years.

Just glad they didn't extend him when they named him C. It felt likely at the time.
