Teravinen, Hertl, Wilson are just 3 names that went in the next 5 or so picks after Girgensons too.

This organization has never been able to get out of its own way

And dumb dumbs want to give Kevyn Adams the keys to trade Eichel

We still somehow lost the Gaustad (and a 4th) for a first trade.

The first became Girgensons and the 4th became Juuse Saros

Well a bunch of ppl from here thought Girgs would be our “future captain”
Meanwhile, i got blasted for saying we should trade him bc he’d top out as a defensive 3C

I don't get the Gillis love, the guy is so dumb he tampered with 2 players on talk radio. What's worse is he filed a grievance about Burke doing the same thing to one of his players like 5 years before that.

According to Krueger he speaks with the Pegulas and comes out of every meeting feeling great and a renewed sense of winning.

Just learning what a “set play” is off a face off

Rob Ray says Okposo is playing well though. Doing all the little things right, even if he isn’t scoring.

Cozens gets in a fight and suddenly he's Mike Peca? Cmon, he hasn't even played center yet. You all are getting blue collar fever

Watching Bos vs Wsh tonight is a prime example of being tough to play against.

Those who don't think the Sabres (most if them) play soft, I suggest turning that game on.
Checks finished, net fronts cleared very physically, open ice hits, pucks taken to the slot constantly, puck movement side to side to get goalies moving.

It has everything the Sabres are poor at.

I think the rangers overpay.

If the Sabres really are considering trading eichel, maybe he is the problem? Or a big part of the soft culture non team conforming problem.

GM3 ' zabanjat, laferierre or kappo and unprotected 1st.

We take a bury tony d's stupid face in a strictly paperwork, still make the franchise look bad way.

Maybe add okposo after the counter of Tony d.

I was one of those people. He has had a weird career - he looked like the next Peca early on until he didn't.

So when is the appropriate time to start talking about Jack Quinn doing next to nothing in the AHL apart from scoring a nice shootout goal in his first game ?

To be fair, I never said they weren't soft. I said that I wouldn't know if they were soft or not in this current system where we spend most of the game in our own end. The ice is tilted every night.

So is Vegas soft? Colorado? They don't check like some other teams do. They just score lots of goals and are a ton of fun to watch. I suppose their GMs should trade for more heart and sandpaper and pucks to the net.

he isn't even supposed to be there so it really shouldn't be looked at too closely. That said... few were happy with the pick and I see no reason to feel differently as of today.

Do we know how they're utilizing him?

Is he getting 4th line minutes or more? PP time?
