So he's Girgensons with a few more fights

Yup, with a higher skill-level, but good call.

Sure looks like it goes to show that analytics can be twisted however someone wants them to be

Bc we all know Frolik isn’t good

I always think you should take a chance (buy low) on a former high pick. But I wouldn't trade montour for him. I think the sabres can do better for Montour

Maybe if we can pull off a trade for Bonino,
that would help in getting Smith?
They are linemates after all
- jdfitz77

Bad fitz

Dont fall for that one.

I lost an avatar bet, because pommer and vanek were line mates. 🙊

Hope so

It could, gonna be a lot ? that need to be answered this off-season. It's not going to be a easy challenge.

All the more reason we hopefully get Allen some help
He’s in over his head

Hmmmmmm.

This has been my problem with Analytics all along
They’re incomplete

When ppl based evaluations off of incomplete data,
you end up accepting the stats that back up what you already think, and discard the rest bc it doesn’t fit

That’s a bit different
The Sabres never wanted Vanek

I’m not saying Smith definitely would sign here if we got Bonino, but it couldn’t hurt

But it's been verified that the Sabres want smith?

In the past 2 seasons before this one, Monahan produced at a high enough level offensively at even strength and the power play that his poor defensive play could be lived with, but this season, his poor defensive play was still evident while his offense fell into a black hole.

The defensive side of the ice has always been an issue for him. If he is not driving offense at a high level, he is not a good player.

Errr, if I were you, I would try not to come across as such a bimboish putz.
- Mentalorgasm5

so a bum-hole putz doesn't wish for people to die. got it. call me a bum-hole putz then!

- Boss34

Of course not
The Sabres aren’t allowed to talk about players under contract to other teams

Obviously we are just talking about things we’d like to see happen

What’s your point here?

10 yrs 503 million Dollars WOW that's all I can say!!!

So Monahan’s numbers have all been consistent except for the points this past season?

Got any explanation for Frolik’s numbers?

Popped up on my Phone, it's on the front page of NFL.com. 10 yrs 503 mill with 477 mill guarantee mechanisms, which if not met he has opt out options. Largest contract in Sports History.

You suggested that smith would be more likely to come here because his line mate might sign in buffalo

I suggested the same thing with vanek and pommer

You disagreed and mocked it.

Now you suggested a similar situation.

You just posted something implying my senario wasnt likely, but yours was.

I asked for a source

You said were just spitballing having fun jabbering.

so was I, in regards to vanek and pommer

- Boss34

Bc Vanek wasn’t a fit for what we needed,
Smith is

And you made a bet that Vanek WOULD be back here
Not that it MIGHT be help bc Pommer was here
You went way above & beyond that

I am not

Get the (frank) off the board you complete asshat.
There is no room for you here.

You're a pathetic individual, so emblematic of ignorance amplified by a false sense of bravado hiding behind the vail of the internet.
You are scrum, a vile person.
No one here likes you, nor welcomes your idiocracy.

His offensive advanced stats also sunk like a stone this year.

On Frolik: Sure. He stinks.

Ion, no reason to waste your time Bud. It's funny with some of the poop he comes up with.

What moves will have to be made to say have a few UFA'S want to sign here. Are we that much in the dog poop that we might only be able to add players to the team via only trades.

Bc Vanek wasn’t a fit for what we needed,

Vanek = goal scorer

Sabres were the worst goal scoring team in the league.

Seemed like a need.

Highly doubt Vanek would have come back here, seemed like the only way he was gonna play was for a team with a shot.
