👊 I thought you were going to nail the Wyatt Davis pick. Was rooting for him. Just missed it.

So the Bills get a 5th year option on Rousseau, but only 4 years with Boogie? Bruce said he is going to help mentor the young bucks. I remember him crediting the stair master being a big part of his training. Bills have a lot of good players on defense, but need another premier one if you ask me. Love the D ends, but started to seem quirky going strictly for bigger than normal guys with the next 2 OLine pics. Hope they weren’t taking bigger over better.

I love the " numbers " game. Just keep picking guys that are going to attack QB's. Especially pat m and the new Patriots qb. Oliver /espenza. Just keep picking em'.

Good chess move against good, but young qbs in the division. There's gonna be some heat to throw the ball.

The whole 4/5 year contract thing went out the window when we picked ej in the first, to make sure he couldn't go anywhere after investing in his development.

I still make fun of my buddy that has a camouflage manual Jersey 😀😀😀

Of course not

Blake Coleman is usually around a 30 point guy

He’s better or more valuable IMO than guys like Palmieri, Domi, Dadonov, Killorn and some other ls who are usually around 45-50

Blake coleman and nick foligno would be 2 good free agent targets.

Hamilton isnt practical. Too much $ and the buffalo thing, why come here?

LOL! I was certain Manuel was going to be a superstar after hitting Stevie Johnson for wide open TD vs. Panthers.

There’s definitely lots.

Bjorkstrand is another ive mentioned before.

Jarnkrok, Copp, Fast.

All 30-ish point guys that I’d take over a lot of 45-50 point players.

My point is just simply saying “This guy has 50 points, he’s obviously better than this guy who has 30” is lazy analysis for the information we have

- sbroads24


It’s still GENERALLY true though

And Bjorkstrand & Copp are playing at 50point + paces this season btw


U seem (to me) to be talking more about talented guys that just haven’t gotten an opportunity in the top6 yet

Doogie playing again tonight. Not sure if Stefanos Lekkas is backing him up again or if Ullmark is healthy enough.

An honest look. Certainly more than what Perry Fewell got.

He was given a pretty dogpoop situation and has made the best of it. I don't think anyone could have done much better.

It's an easy out for the Pegulas to save money, but they also love flashy names. I'm thinking 60/40 he gets the job

Funny how he said after the game he wasn't in game shape, guy might be hurting this morning. Hell give Lekkas a shot, maybe will play another solid game and get another goalie his first NHL win.

At the very least he's a head coach of an AHL or NHL team, or perhaps an associate coach here. Sabres do like their associates.

I wonder if Karmanos walked in on day 1 and was like 'wtf is this' while looking at his 4 total scouts.

Man why could we not make the playoff at least once in the last 6 years with this core to see what they can do when somethings on the line.

Reinfart is good. Will he be good in the playoffs? Why is he a second half season player? Shows up big when nothing is on the line and we are 10 games out of a playoff spot each year. Disappears in longs spurts 1st half of season.

I think these are the questions the front office should be asking when building a team. But we have no record of meaningful games for the last 10 years so its a guessing game

We usually guess wrong too 🤦‍♂️

Samson's lead the team in points most of the year. There was about 6 weeks where he was 2nd to him Olo, mostly because Olo had that string of PP goals early. Not sure this all checks out.

I mean, the kid usually gets going even more once the year gets going, but there's plenty of players like that. Sorry to jump on you, the old addage that Reinhart was dependant on Eichel seems to have been laid to rest, now it's that he's inconsistent. Not sure this one fits is all.
