That’s probably the most untrue thing ever posted on here

Name ONE, just ONE, player from last years roster who wasn’t crapped on?

*apologize in advance for singling certain ppl out,
it’s just to emphasize the point

Homie with Eichel...
“Needs to grow up, be a better leader”

J crag with skinner... “don’t pay him 9mil, not worth it”

Sbroads FINALLY came around on Sam,
but can he truly carry his own line?

Dahlin didn’t perform to Boss’ expectations

89 has “never had faith in either of our goalies”

Do i need to go on???
Ok... i will (you all knew i would anyways)
How about me with Berglund, Sobatka & Tage?

Mitts underperformed, “better trade for a 2C”

Okposo should retire

Pommer can’t produce if he isn’t with Jack...
No, we don’t want him back (sorry Boss)

Girgs & Larsson can’t score and suck at life

Bogo has been better, BUT... hurt again! Shocker
Is there a way to dump him?

Scandella... would we reverse that trade if we could? Wtf is he doing in the lineup over Pilut?!

Risto is barely a “4” and we should’ve traded him 2yrs ago

Maybe Montour wasn’t here long enough to get sh!t talked?
Oh wait... “we got WORSE once he arrived”


THE PLAYERS DON’T GET BLAMED???
What a terrible, terrible post dude
Players get ripped on here CONSTANTLY,
every... single... day

What is happening here?

I said they basically had to pay him whatever he wanted after what transpired last year. It would have been a poop show if he walked.

Please revise to reflect the fact that I don't like girgs and larry

Pegulaville is the "skinner is overpaid" guy

And unless he comes out and scores 40+ again and puts up 75+ points he will be.

I respect everyone's right serve up some delicious hot takes. I just want them to be attributed correctly

This might be way late, but the NFL has already streamed games on Prime. They streamed like 8 or so last year. They were the poopty Thursday night games, but still. Also Yahoo and Twitter get a few games a year too. It's only a matter of time.

I wonder if the NHL would get demonetized for having violent content, or get a copyright claim because you can overhear the songs played in the arena.

I meant that if they get a full rights deal, they would start putting games in 4K.

Also, yes, Youtube's copyright claiming is the worst.

i tend to agree that he needs to score close to or over 40 goals in a season to maintain a nonoverpaid tag.. not sure on the point total though he has never been an assist guy.

Either way, we had to pay him.. and he knew it

Sabres suck. Jack is a fraud. Risto is gone. Skinner will revert to being injury prone. The coach. And Dahlin is overrated and overhyped
- SMS4016

Phew, good thing we still have Reinhart as a positive. It's the little things in life.

For $9M a year he better develop some playmaking ability or he’ll be our new Okposo by year 3 of the deal.

Lmao!!!! Oh yeah Sam blows

https://www.diebytheblade...t-and-how-they-can-fix-it

Really good read, data

I actually do think Skinner will get another 40 this year. His knack for being in the right place when Jack is working will continue to pay off.

Im thinking :

Skinner : 42g 35 A 77 pts
Jack 30g 60A 90 pts

He's a mid-3rd round talent at best

That’s fine and all. But $9M is better spent on a 2C that can drive his own line rather then on a Jacks wing where I’d wager a guy like Sheary, Vesey, or Olofsson would pot 25 anyways.

There wasn’t much to drive last year outside of Jacks line. Let’s see how this shapes up before we take Skinner out behind the woodshed

- lulags

Exactly. The first couple years of Jacks career showed us all about centers that can drive lines that contain wingers that cant finish.

Take Skinner away and replace him with Duchene and who exactly is scoring goals??

Outside of a few whipping boys, people hate blaming players for anything. Poor coaching, improper utilization, poor development...there's always a convenient excuse when you want one.
- Lunaion

Human nature?

The biggest problem we have, right now, as I see it...is goaltending...They both stink.

Not the ONLY problem....just the biggest as I see it
- RippedFuel

1. Biggest problem- goaltending
2. Skinner hasnt scored since April
3. not the ONLY problem

Goaltending agreed. Much better core in front now. Biggest problem after goaltending IMO
Are
Svotbota, Scandella, Okposo, Bogo

Three of which are not an issue after this year

That attached die by the blade article is great.

Sobotka. scandella and tage really got called out.

Bogo may miss the whole season on ltir.
Probably why the Sabres have 11 nhl type defenseman

While the goaltending isn’t elite..... goaltending was not the problem.

Our defense and defensive zone coverage was a mess last year. So many odd man rushes and tap in back door goals killed is last year.

Improve the defense .... the goaltending looks way better.

A blame the players who deserve the blame take always gets my vote

- Swedish_Jesus

Get a ducking clue, dude. Skinner was a regular 30 goal scorer and never had a playmaking or number 1 center, is underrated as a 2-way forward and draws penalties like a madman.

Okposo had a few above average seasons playing with Tavares, everyone knew he was a crap player with inflated numbers and no one wanted him except Tim Murrays drunk ass.

That’s fine and all. But $9M is better spent on a 2C that can drive his own line rather then on a Jacks wing where I’d wager a guy like Sheary, Vesey, or Olofsson would pot 25 anyways.
- Swedish_Jesus

Well that’s gonna be Mitts
And we are in a good spot with him contractually
He’s an RFA after this year,
so even if he blows up...
1) gets a bridge deal
2) or we give him a long term deal, but with him only having 1 good year to show, the AAV won’t break the bank for us
