I am trying to imagine how you projects the Flyers defense to be better than the Sabres defense and I can't but the Athletic did it.

Idk what you are picking on me for exactly. I explained in detail that Tage shot 49% of all the NHL shots he has taken last year so it is more likely that the averages of years past is not correct.

Yes

The other flaw with using 3 years of data is 3 years ago was covids start basically. So a chunk of your data is flawed by a known variable you can't account for. I get why you would use 3 years of data because it probably helps find a mean level but between Krueger, covid, and unpredictability of the young guns, that's a hard ask for a model. Intriguing read but if your model doesn't match the eye test you gotta question both. We know that in the last 28 games when finally healthy the eye test and stats align. Final thought the article implies Anderson is in line to be the starter but we know he's not. Comrie is the starter and depending on how he does, really tells us what our season will be. We won't be worse than the flyers, that's laughable.

I will still never forget that when the Titans were already down 10-7, they punted away and the announcers talked about the field position game the Titans were playing and how it was effective and smart and etc... only for Allen and Diggs to put up another 24 points like it was nothing and then sit the entire 4th quarter. Any announcer looking at the Bills offense and talking about field position is a moron.

in 2020/21 he had 5pp points from what I am seeing. In 2021/22 he had 25 of his 69pts on the pp

I firmly believe that if Kulich played in the a different league last year he would have been drafted well before 28.

Cam Allen and Hunter Brzustewicz are the first round guys from the article.

It's too early. I say we draft Will Smith, cuz his name and nothing else.

Zdeno Chara PK Subban Keith Yandle Have all retired officially.

Not gonna lie, I was surprised that Kisakov, Kulich, and Rosen were all going to join the Amerks this season.

If Stankoven, Johnson, and Bourque all hit I think Dallas can still improve but I would be extremely protective of any 2023 1st round pick.

With our top 2 corners out, I am not looking forward to dealing with Waddle and Hill. We will need Allen to be on and probably a bit better run game to burn more clock.

Allen just bailed out McDermotts dumb timeout

Good thing the Titans played the field position game like they wanted. Glad the announcers pointed that out just before Allen went... straight down the field on 4 throws.

Dallas isn't smart. They're the islanders of the west.

It's top 10 protected

The Bills are going to level the Patriots. Miami I could see them splitting with, sweep seems unlikely.

Oh, I thought he had to go back into the draft. So we can sign him and send him back to the OHL which would be good for his dev. He's got 2 more OHL eligible years.

Spencer Sova will be back in the draft and I hope Buffalo takes a shot at him. He is pretty solid on the backend and why not get that? Here is his scouting report from EP Rinkside (which again, if you love hockey I highly recommend them) Sova has work to do this year but I think at the very least he is good enough to continue to work with him as a prospect.

Butcher and Hagg have been replaced by Boosh (idk enough about him) and Power.

Or is this just fantasy?

I expect Buffalo to make the playoffs. Not joking, I think they have what it takes and that JJP, Power, and Quinn push them over the edge because they will be better than Eakin, Hayden, and Hagg. I also think we can expect better from Krebs and Cozens to add to the list. Comrie will be better than whatever lasts year mess was.
