I don't know anyone here who thinks Power should get the Calder. Ramus Dahlin is the best defender the Sabres have and should be in the Norris conversation. He shouldn't be blamed for not being able to carry the husk of Clague and Bryson on his back while injured.

Jiri Kulich will not turn 19 until April 14th. This matters because he has basically played his entire AHL season as an 18yr old which is exceedingly uncommon. During that time the 6' 180lb C/W (I think he is going to end up at wing) has managed to get 19g, 18a, in 52games. He is rolling at a 0.712ppg pace this season which is his first in NA but his 2nd playing in a men's pro league as he was in the Czech Men's league (Extraliga is the common name) in his draft year. Now the question is how do you handle Mr. Kulich going into 2023. I think he needs to stay in the AHL. For as good as his individual skills are, there is refinement needed in his game that would be easier to do in the AHL. He can get a callup or 2 next year but I would make sure he stays below the 10 game threshold and allow him to round out his game a bit more. In my perfect world, he is the replacement of Olofsson as I think his shot is very good but he has more in his game than VO. Also, he still needs what most 18yr olds need, strength. I think this recap from Elite Prospects before the draft is very important because you see and hear some of the issues that I still think exist. He needs to improve his overall game and playmaking as well as his deception. I timestamped it to start on the Kulich bit but if that does not work, check the video description. Anyways, how are we feeling about Jiri Kulich, 28th overall draft pick from 2022?

Didn't say you know nothing about statistics. There I hope that clears it up for you Weave. Wouldn't want you to think I am being condescending when your post was just straight up dismissive. You have less interest in the metric. Fine, that is because you don't understand or have no desire to incorporate what they are telling you into your thought process. If that is condescending than yes, I am 100% condescending to someone who refuses to use all the available information. Oh and your explanation up top is only partially right. Have a wonderful afternoon.

What a truly ignorant way of looking at this. Idk how else to even word it. That's not what this shows but you don't care anymore than Weeve cares in trying to understand it.

I have no desire to watch UPL ever play another NHL game. I know what he is. Big tender who overreacts to shots, has mediocre puck tracking, and bad rebound control.

You are delusional. How is it Don Granato's fault that Greenway isn't up to the Sabres standard of fitness? I mean, you want to blame him for keeping in Olofsson and benching Jost, sure I am here for that but omg is this a special level of "I don't like him so everything that isn't perfect is his fault"

It has been apparent? What that you don't like Granato, yes it has been apparent. We have a major goaltending problem. Idk how you fix that with coaching.

I reached the stage of calling Nashville on Saros, asking the price, paying, moving on.

This. We've been conditioned now by atrocious, echl level goaltending, to view any defensive breakdowns as this major super issue of death when in reality, all teams see chances against in games but our goalies couldn't stop a motorcycle with the great wall of China.

The Radio Active Wastelands put up 8 goals against the Sabres.

It's why I'm not worried about Levi. Or Quinn, or Cozens.

Lol 😆

Here's the thing, you will expect an nhl goalie to stop some chances. Our goalies couldn't stop a beach ball with a Gatlin gun

Going to a meat raffle instead

Our goaltending is a train wreck

No

Wait... he quit? @Taro Tyo get in here.

Some guy named Bedard... he's only 5'10" though

Well at least that got called back
