I still think the Sabres end up buying out Skinner after next season. And like Carolina, they don't really take off until he's replaced. But this really feels like Roenick is looking at career stats paces and... if Skinner stays healthy another 6-7 seasons (no reason he shouldn't, he avoids contact), he'll quite possibly pass Roenick's career goals total. Quit your bellyaching, Roenick. Go play NHL94 or whatever it was on an emulator.

He's their next Radko Gudas. He's a LHD, but ideal for a 3rd pair and paid accordingly. The Sabres' matching move was Connor Clifton (admittedly a need at RHD). Brind'Amour will re-sign with the Canes. An experienced hockey-minded POHO is the key. Vancouver brought in Rutherford in 2020-21 when they were floundering (after getting into the covid-playoff lottery and winning a round thanks to Demko). He's been slowly remaking the team and taking all the talent and turning it into a real roster. The last 365 days since the 2023 trade deadline and offseason have been the focal point, but it's been ongoing since he took over. Darth Pegulas (edit: the Wise) will not be following the same path. He prefers the Cap Side of the Force, not the Cup Side. Torts is a very good coach. Sadly, his hockey isn't fun to watch unless he's got a great roster that can make it fun. But you've got to balance that with the fun of winning. Detroit didn't get anywhere last season (Copp, etc.), but a second season of filling their notable gaps with playoff-savvy vets (Compher, etc.) and it's starting to come together. As a single-year attempt it backfired. Layered, it's worked. It's EEE! Cut out the middle-bowl and all its associated costs while still getting your Pebbles.

The Panthers have a gear (maybe two) that this year's Sabres cannot achieve. When they want to, the Panthers can just take over with their aggressive defense. They're also going to have to go all-in at the deadline this season because they have a bunch of very good contributing UFAs who are underpaid (Reinhart, Forsling, Montour, Cousins).

They're currently tied with Boston for the President's Trophy pace. This trade can be discussed at the 2024 Draft. -
I ran the exact same numbers this morning to get to Docking Bay 94. Ninety-four. But it was too depressing to post, so I looked up RaKru's October numbers instead. Because sometimes it's better to have a laugh than to dwell too much on this team.
