I was lukewarm to it at best. My posts from the Samuelsson contract thread.

This isn't accurate. Skinner has 3 years left and Tuch I think only 2.

Read something the other the day that teams were not giving Diggs most of their attention aka double teams but found their top corner was enough to take him away most of the time. Be interesting if a writer wrote a story on it.

They shouldn't have signed power or Samuelsson to those long deals. It was based on nothing but feelings.

Imagine a Sabre doing this

Glad we're winning

Amazing how using timeouts is better if done early

Think it was Beane telling Terry what was happening not the other way around.

He's a Time Lord

13 years of piss and we've run out of f's to give. Nsfw

Man, if I were the coach I'd take every Sabres logo off their jerseys and the logo out of the room too. Tell them their lazy garbage season was why. Logo on the front means a hell of a lot more than the name on the back.

Far cry from how Nashville reacted to a crap home stand. All the locker room quotes of "winning the fans support" are fluffy nonsense that none of them believe.

Think you have a typo. Should say "season" not game.

Idk, play casual

No he won't. NHL gms almost never use offer sheets, like ever.

Guys an RFA and has played like one of the best goaltenders in the NHL since Jan 1. Levi exists and Adams clearly likes him so what do they do here? I don't think you go longer term (over 5 years) with any goalie but I am good in the 4yr 4milaav range.

Saw this all over Twitter. Guy who said it is a freaking clown. 🤡 Imagine thinking Daniel Jones is an asset in a trade for Josh Allen... lol what a 🤡 can't believe that dude has a show anyone listens too. Also, Allen isn't available and it's 2024, I'm sure Hailee Steinfield can use the internet or get on a plane if she feels the itch to shop in NYC or Paris or LA.

TBH, as a fan I absolutely hate this. Why should I lose my draft picks to sign a guy that wasn't worthy of a draft picks 3 years ago?

These guys are all basically to be viewed as at best, late 2nd round picks. Most of them should be considered in the value range of 3-5th round picks, meaning they won't make it for the most part. Just another talent pool and lottery ticket.

7 of 8 captains are no longer on the team from what WGR was saying. Allen is the only returning captain.

If I were the Sabres, I would give Jax Dubois a look this summer. Physical 6'4" center that is AHL eligible and has the defensive game to become a 4th line center down the road. Would give the prospect pool another physical guy with size who could slot right into Rochester next year. Would be a bit of a project but all the guys are in this realm.

Mattias Samuelsson has absolutely no offense to his game. He is next to useless once you get into the neutral zone and certainly an afterthought in the offensive zone. He may shutdown plays at a good clip, although I do have some questions based on that model, but without showing us the average and then telling us what standard deviation away from that Samuelsson is, idk how to take the stats other than he might be good defensively but not leaps and bounds better than the league. That would be what my eye test says, he is solid defensively, above average, and can be trusted to deal with opposing top lines. I want him no where near the offensive zone though, all he can do is pass the puck to his partner or send it down low, there is almost no other skill or manipulation to that side of his game. I actually think quite a bit of Muel's defensive game, but the rest I don't. It is that duality that has me down on the guy overall, coupled with his complete inability to ever be healthy for more than 60% of a season.

wins and losses do not quantify future success or current performance 100%. I have seen total garbage teams beat the best teams in the league. Wins/Losses don't quantify current performance of individual players that's for sure and they certainly don't tell you about future success of a player. That is why NO ONE uses them to quantify if a player is good or bad except sometimes with goalies.
