  1. Not sure where it came from but ive always felt you need 4 years to evaluate skaters and 6 years to evaluate goalies. Seems like our former top goaltending prospect is starting to realize his potential.
  2. I hear that a lot but intuitively it doesn’t make sense. There’s not that many players who have experience at 23. This website has no real standing, but it says average debut age isn’t even until 24. https://icehockeycentral.com/how-old-are-professional-hockey-players-learn-the-age-range-of-elite-hockey-athletes/
  3. I think the answer is sign Casey and see what happens when push comes to shove with Cozens and the cap. To the bold, I’d say our best draft and developments are already elsewhere. I think a lot of people around here look at a 23-25 year old with 5+ years of NHL experience as a finished product because they have 5+ years of experience. That might be true of the average player coming in at 23, but not with guys coming in at 18-19. Look at almost any player who was in the league in their teens. They end up being a completely different player by the time they are 28 and usually just starting to peak. Because to play in the league at that age, you usually are already pretty exceptional. It’s unusual to have a team so consistently filled with youth like we have. We’ve lost touch with reality.
  4. I’m so excited to swap out my Sabres jersey for my Flutie jersey. It would really be magical to be this excited for the Sabres again.
  5. Hit it hard for me. It’s shaping up to be two straight seasons without skiing.
  6. “Corporations are people too, my friend.”
  7. The plan is there in the byline. Just took four gms for someone to implement it.
  8. Why doesn’t he have his own plan? Any of the vets on this board can tell you flying military isn’t reliable whether it’s for a jump or across the pond.
  9. Some call up Lindros to speed that up
  10. I’m of the belief that if any team in the NHL thought Zemgus had value he’d be elsewhere. It’s not quite the concept of Johan Larsson, who we were told we would deeply regret not signing and then promptly washed out of the league, but he’s pretty close to being there.
