I really don't understand why we wouldn't upgrade Power's partner. It would be easy to do and we have the money to do it. To the bold, yea, because that is the only RHD we have to play with Power.

come on draft pick

im confused why we would move any of the young players, doesnt make sense

Power w/ Joker = 97:04toi, 48.28cf%, 48.96xgf% Power w/ Bryson = 7:01toi, 61.54cf%, 86.54 xgf% Power w/ Fitzgerald = 3:46toi, 60cf%, 71.24 xgf% Power w/ Dahlin = 11:25toi, 62.96cf%, 46.22xgf% Power w/ Samuelsson = 13:13toi, 26.67cf%, 5.43xgf% That is at all strengths so the Samuelsson numbers are a reflection of the time they spend on the PK probably (just over 4 of those minutes together or almost 1/3 of the toi.)

Happy birthday

I'm sorry but Krebs has done next to nothing to make me confident he's an nhl center.

The guy had shoulder surgery, how's that quitting?

He dragged Dahlin's numbers down and in limited time away from Joker, we see Power's numbers improve. Jokiharju has not worked well being the B player and needs to be upgraded. Samuelsson- Dahlin is set by Power needs someone better.

The MAF trade told us everything we needed to know about Vegas.

We have no idea what this team really is because up until February half of it was broken. On top of that we're absurdly young so what growth do we find there. And on top of that goaltending.

No they do not. This is such a loser mindset. The Sabres need to get better, not rely on someone else getting worse.

I don't see Levi as an AHL starter, you don't drop best all time numbers at 20 in the ncaa and then suddenly stink.

We do not need a team to fall back. Loser thinking. We need to overtake them regardless. Stop hoping someone else gets worse and instead hope the Sabres get better and better until they simply are better.

Wasn't a combine in 2020

Thxs for the post, what does this last part mean?

One of the most important sentences ever written on this board.

I feel bad for Mike Weber. He clearly taught the talented defenders well otherwise Fitz, Muel, and Bryson would be worse off in Buffalo but how's he supposed to get talent from ahl lifer defenders.

True but it gets easier for Vegas with a Dallas win. Without it, game over.

I think that is why Adams works as GM. He let's Terry have his opinion but keeps him at arms length so ppl under him can do their jobs.

Days of coaches being kings running their team are gone. Didn't say kids have less critical thinking. I said you have to develop it and tech can help. You let them question things and you teach them why that question was right or wrong. Maybe Ruff should keep the ipads with assistants and have players request to review plays on the bench if it bothers him. That way the player isn't just watching a replay but watching it with a coach looking at something specific. Depends on the mistake and the player. Some will learn in real time and they can still reflect later on in film study.

Keep in mind the Dallas and Vegas numbers will probably flip if Vegas beats Dallas on Tuesday and SJ today. It all comes down to the Dallas Vegas game.

This line of thinking is so common and then I hear from ppl, "why don't these kids have critical thinking skills!?" Well they can't develop those if you don't let them question stuff and learn where they are right or wrong.

I'm not either. If a "kid" looks at the iPad and says hey it wasn't me, the coach needs to show them how they contributed to whatever happened and how they can improve because that's what most of these "kids" are looking for. Any of them that are truly using the replay to divert blame, you talk to them after the game. If they still won't see their role in it, you talk to the gm. Technology is a tool and Ruff doesn't sound like he understands how the players want to use it. The days of a coach being the team tyrant with unquestionable power are over. You better be able to explain on the iPad why that player made a mistake.
