Oh man are Kincaid, Cook, and Shakir gonna blow your mind this year. Further Allen has probably a top 10 line to work behind.
-
No they don't. There's no spot for Helenius. Kulich, I suppose if a winger gets hurt maybe.

Jeff Marek and probable Secret Sabres Fan is No Longer with SportsNet
LGR4GM replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Just read this story and it is total BS why they fired him. Half a dozen NHL reporters tweet the picks before they are announced. I knew we were getting Benson almost a full minute before the announcement because of twitter. The league was worried it could be used for betting? BS, no they weren't because like all lines they close at certain times because they aren't dumb enough to leave them open until something happens in real life. Being lied to is the worst. -
The vague version. My supervisors have no understanding of what it takes to do this thing but they want it done anyways even though no one is working on said thing anymore because they disbanded the team that would handle it. I want to quit, I hate coming to work now because it is just stupid, easily avoidable problems 1 after the other. When I try to bring up issues, I am shoved to the side for the coworker who just says yes all the time and delivers subpar work. Once a place makes it clear you are not valued, it is time to consider other options.

Only if Helenius ends up in Rochester. He won't make the team straight up at center with Tage, Cozens, McLeod, and Rafferty down the spine so he will need an injury call-up. I would prefer he either spend the year in Rochester or go back to Liiga for 1 more season.

No? Laine is a Finn and Dahlin a Swede so I don't think they've ever played together.

Yup. This also what ended the Roman Republic. It was better for your opponent to appear to do nothing than it was to even pass common sense laws. Kamala has a long way to go to win the presidency. Even if she does, she has further to go to be an effective president. Still, her interviews the last week have been very good.

Donald J Trump, your thoughts on his Presidency
LGR4GM replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
Words cannot explain what a dumpster fire 🔥 this interview was. Holy *****. -
I don't see them as having unity. That is why they talked about Ziemer the way they did. He was on a tier and there was a big drop down to the next guy on the list. Kinda like how Benson was on a tier and they seemed surprised to get him but it worked out. In fact the Benson comment makes me think they were very aware of the size issue and had debates about him but Forton or whoever said "it worked out" was referring to how setting the list and following it does work out in the end. There is also a comment by Adams about Helenius being a center and they clearly bumped him above someone else due to that. My guess, it was Nygard.
-
There's clearly debates over the list. Honestly to suggest they all just agree seems bonkers.
-
It's not clear to me if that was the trade straight up. Almost sounded like part of something slightly larger but maybe not. Glad that trade didn't happen though.
-
Aube-Kubel mentioned accountability and conditioning as two things of importance. Lafferty also brought up accountability. Lindy specifically talked about bumping players. That's a good segment, he wants everyone bumping and blocking.
-
Good watch if you wanna glean some insights.
-
2012 was the last time the Pens used 7 or more picks. There's a bunch of 6 pick drafts in there. Btw, ik you were being silly in this reply.
-
Well, Skinner was primarily a shooter and passenger. Zegras is a playmaker and line driver.
-
Dylan Cozens does that better than he shoots. He shot 9% last year. I do agree with we were bad with zone entries and setting up offense but I think that is part granato being bad and part missing Jack Quinn. I think also without Skinner around, Buffalo might improve in that regard. Time will tell and am I not opposed to acquiring Zegras and think he would help regardless of his defensive issues.
-
Can I be honest? I have seen this a bunch and I do not believe it. Which guys are basically just shooters now that Skinner is gone? Tuch, Quinn, Tage all have multiple dimensions to their games. Peterka was a shooter last year so maybe him. Benson certainly is not just a shooter.
-
Jack Quinn, what is your expectation for his 2024 season?
LGR4GM replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Quinn, Tuch, and Krebs are all currently in Buffalo. I think there are other guys here as well. -
He's bad defensively. Hence a major reason I pushback so hard on any talk around here involving trading Jack Quinn for him. IMPO, Zegras has never really been a 2-way forward.
-
Ziemer had 2 goals this game.

-
Compared to rookie Power who signed a similar deal
-
Trading Jack Quinn (which was a suggestion up thread) for Zegras would not make the Sabres better this season. In fact, I confidently say such a move would make Buffalo worse. Of course I don't think it would take Quinn to get Zegras but some combo of Wahlberg, 2025 1st, and a salary going back like Greenway or Jokiharju.
