7+6=13

IMO, we give up the puck when no one is trying to take it, way too much.

Agree. Which is why I have a hard time with the idea of Risto leaving. He gives enough physicality on defense and has consistently contributed on offense. Why can't he just stop the bonehead giveaways etc?

Interesting thought

We need answers and I hope Monty becomes one.

He's only costing us 232K per point. Haha

Saying he could win against Toews isn't saying he's tough. Why don't you stop telling posters what to think and post? I'm tired of you and your snarky comments.

Who wants to be right about that. I know what you mean but I just don't think we have enough talent to do anything about what's happening. Since this isn't our roster going forward, my next best option is improving it.

Like the fighter Toews?

If it was just get it together I could get on board with that. I think it's more that we just don't have the roster.

Unfortunately I think I want that.

He would drop Toews.

According to Yost, someone will for a 5th

Oh lord, we need a goalie to add to the list

Hutton over commits like an amateur

So looking forward to Sobotka being traded in the off season

Embarrassing defense

And one of the leagues worst defenses, acts accordingly.

And one of the leagues best penalty kill teams, comes through again.

2 blown calls

IMO, we have 4 contracts between our offense and defense that we're getting more production than what we're paying. That is an alarming thing.

When Darcy made that speech Hodgson lead our team in points with 44. 44. For an entire year. That team had to be gutted. I don't see any parallels to the speech Darcy gave and JBots message.

A prefab house goes up quicker but doesn't last as long, less quality and no customization. So it's get into the playoffs even though we'll never contend for a cup. Or wait on the playoffs, so we can have a multi year run at the cup. Pick what you want I suppose.

You'd have to take that up with Yost. I'm just merely pointing out what he said. His belief is that there's tradeable contracts that the Sabres should get out of. Sobotka, Hunwick and Scandella were mentioned with Sobotka being the "slam dunk" and that he'd trade him for sure. He said we should be looking for opportunities to displace these perennial under performing players in order to sign others that aren't.

I know Yost mainly used Sobotka but if I remember right he was talking about 5-6 guys under contract. They are trade-able contracts to just get out of them. I think Scandella is one of those that I'm not sure can be packaged to just get out of paying him next year.

I will never understand these type of comments. There's new people making the decisions, so they're not responsible for how long its been and all the other promises. So a portion of the fanbase (not necessarily you) that wants JBot to do what we want, or we won't go to games. Then we're just as fragile as the team itself. They are a reflection of us and then we get upset. He's not going to pander to the fans just to get them to come to games and he shouldn't. Build the team how you want JBot and those knuckleheads will come back when we're winning.
