I'm moving Mitts in this scenario to help Cozens. Mitts is a facilitator of the puck, it's what he does best. Kulich/Rosen are fast with great shots where Quinn is a hybrid of Mitts and Kulich. I think we're all forgetting how good Quinn was. It's more I trust Mitts with Rosen more than I trust Rosen with Cozens.

Well, Tage Thompson is better than ROR. Honestly can't believe that myself. Ryan Johnson is looking really good and that's part of that trade too. We were never going to win the Eichel trade, he's good. We did okay though. Tuch is solid, Östlund is trending towards a middle 6 player, Krebs needs to be better and I forgot what the other part was. Reinhart got you Levi who needs Rochester and I think Kulich is a potential first line guy. Montour trade, we lost it. Couldn't even say what that pick became. Ristolainen... I'll take Rosen and pucks over Ristolainen every day of the week. Well, I guess you win. You got me to list trades you kept getting wrong and wouldn't look up.

If you don't know who we traded those players for, I can't help you. Also you forgot ROR in your list there. Also also, we didn't trade Ullmark, he was an UFA

Flyers finished below Sabres last year so, no they literally were not. Flyers 75pts Sabres 91pts Again, my issue isn't that you hate Pegula, it's that your full of crap and ignoring facts.

No one is doing that, we just think using risto "toss blindly up the boards" lainen to make your point rings hollow. You're another vendetta poster here to bitch about Pegula and then post this crap when anyone tries to discuss the nuances of some of the moves. Fine go for it. Don't think anyone here particular thinks highly of Pegs ownership.

Sabres current ga is 15th last ftr. Ristolainen wasn't good.

Flyers were 11th last year. Guess Ristolainen really was the greatest... I mean, neither Johnson or Clifton were here and Power was a rookie but context is irrelevant apparently. Not that he's playing but the Flyers have allowed 58ga compared to Buffalo at 63. Not exactly like they are a defensive stalwart.

Fun fact, Ristolainen hasn't even played this season due to injury.

My concern with upl is he goes 2-3 games where he's good then he'll have 2-3 stinkers. Hope that pattern ends.

Yes. Like, what are we even doing here? Ryan Johnson and Mattias Samuelsson are 1,000000000000% better than Ristolainen. Clifton and Johnson are about 50% better. Which is still a lot. You'll have to remind we what the Flyers won with Risto. Also, isn't the 1st we got for him making his Debut tonight? Wasn't that Rosen?

I think you're viewing lines far to traditional for what the Sabres should be able to roll for 3-4 years. Peterka - Cozens - Benson Skinner - Tage - Tuch Rosen/Kulich - Mitts - Quinn Which line are we calling the "3rd" line? Also you can rotate all the wingers in just about any order. The right side in particular seems like it's a matter of taste once Quinn returns. We could argue that Rosen or Kulich isn't up to 100% and whatever line they are on is the 3rd. Personally once Quinn returns, I don't see a path to a top 6 on the right side for Cozens. And I didn't even mention Savoie

Lmfao.

Again, you are weaving half truths and straight bs together. You don't like Pegula, that's fine. A lot of this though is not accurate and I'm not dealing with posters like you anymore.

There's so much factually wrong here. I'm not listing those trades. You have Google, look it up. You also have Google and can read about why those trades were made. Honestly I'm confused if you're a Sabres fan if you don't know why at the very least Eichel was traded.

Ik nothing about hockey. I give up.

Meanwhile for the 8th game in a row the offense is...

Another lazy failed clear. Who was that?

They have enough forward depth, they simply refuse to use it. The PP is bad because of strategy. It's been bad for well over a year and they are somehow still trying to do the same crap.

I wouldn't worry about Benson. He'll be good.

The die is cast

Until they get serious about icing the best team and stop with this making everyone their buddy shtick, idk where this team will go. Waive Bryson, send Levi down, callup Kulich or Rosen or both, bench E Johnson and give R Johnson more minutes, trade for a middle 6 guy and get olofsson off the team.

ROr, Eichel, Reinhart, Risto were not allowed to walk, they were traded.

Yes... the fans who haven't seen the playoffs in a league record 12 years and counting have a bit of a shorter timeline than... maybe sometime or not
