According to someone, the Sabres had 2 top 20 centers.
- IonSabres

They did... Last year

Sorry, accidental flag.

They did it backwards, get the offense going, and then do the defense. At least with a good offense that'll win you a bunch of games on that alone and at least keep you in games while the defense gets up to speed.
- Wetbandit1

I think you can do it both ways
Build the defense to keep pressure off your young QB while he develops

Allen is still gonna need more time to develop whether he had good WRs here now or not

They did... Last year

Alright... 20-ish

By analytics experts, i believe he was 22nd
Something close to that
Ranked as the 16th center right now by Corsica

And the big knock against him...
scoring 5v5...
Well he’s proving he can do that this year when he’s not put in such an overwhelmingly defensive role

Maybe his peers across the league knew something when they voted him as the most underrated player last year...

But what do they know, right?
They’re only the ones that play against him all season long

23rd in points among centers this year...
and plays defensively better than at least half of them

These are all the groups of ppl who recognize how good ROR actually is:
1) Coaches/GMs around the league
2) Analytics guys
3) Media experts
4) His own peers
5)Team Canada

And here’s the list of ppl who think he’s overrated...
1) a few jacka$$es on here
2) nope... it’s just that 1 group

Where did I say anything bad about him?
check the tape
I DIDN’T say a damn thing about him

Again, you take every opportunity possible
To enlighten everyone about how GREAT he is

I’m starting to wonder
Who the REAL troll here is
It’s getting pretty OBVIOUS

Are you kidding me?

Find me a time when I ever talked poop about him.
I’ll wait.

I was responding to your post tonight sir
I never said u talked sh!t

But u certainly spurred on this back and forth with your initial reply to my post

Of course i was gonna defend it after you said,
“Bull (frank)ing poop)

What did u expect I’d do?
U should’ve known by now what u were starting

You made an unprovoked false statement, I called you on it.

I was wrong...
you aren’t grumpy
You’re full of Christmas cheer

It’s kinda sad to be so bitter all the time
Good luck with that sir

Bitter like still moaning and groaning about a trade that happened 6 months ago every god damned day?

No, bitter like...

“Bull (frank)ing poop”
“...and go (frank) yourself”

You’re a class act Hank

Especially if he pockets two straight 70+ point seasons.
- kingcong39

Maybe JBotts signinb him to an underwhelming bridge contract sent the right message to Sam...causing him to produce like he is capable of.

U sure waste A LOT of time HATING on someone u describe as a “solid, smart player”

That makes TONS of sense

He's so good that he is leading a team that some had winning the cup this offseason to a 14-16-4 record. 2 years from now when hes as useful as Okposo we are going to be looking back and laughing at the return we got in that trade. It was never about this year, the deal was made with the future in mind and needing the future cap space.

I think you meant 14-16-4 record.

THANK YOU.
Having Sobotka for only 2 seasons enables them to clear $3m in Cap much more quickly than waiting on ROR's contract to expire...and now with Berglund gone...holy crap that is like hitting 2 homeruns with one swing of the bat.
2018-2019 = Season of Transition
-Working in a couple of high-end kids in Dahlin, Mitts and Ulmark
-Finding and developing chemistry, especially for Jack to maximize his effectiveness
-Reconstituting the D corps
-Exploring ways to jettison a couple of underperforming Vets with relatively high contract values
-Developing the next tier of kids properly by letting them bake more in the AHL
and a big one here,
-Identifying where the holes are after bringing in so many new faces...
* this one is going to take time for a full and proper evaluation based on seeing how the young prospects in Roch develop

Trust the process, have faith in JBotts.

we need to remove some bodies from the roster still


I would like to give bailey one last shot and get nylander up for an extended look before the season ends

Not a bad record so far this year for a team that still needs to purge and some didn't think we would be in the playoff hunt. I remember some on here were wondering when we got to .500 if we could at least maintain that.


Bailey was benched in the 3rd the other night and imo CJ and Olofsson will get their shot before Nylander.
