Top 5 Point leaders on the Sabres this season as of 4/2/2021 Reinhart 23 Olofsson 21 Hall 18 Eichel 18 Montour/Dahlin 12 At 36 games Hall has played, he’s producing at a .5 per game clip. Just not good enough. Even on a bad team like the Sabres.

@john wawrow Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a story you were working on? You mentioned something “big” was gonna happen. I think you said that AFTER RK was fired. Did you ever share what it was you were working on/writing about? Sorry if I missed it.

You, I, and a handful of others can do that. Others needed this to happen 3 days ago. Their nerves are shot. 😂

Back to reality ... Rags ... 4 Sabres ... 2 Skinner, Hall, or Risto with a goal

It allllll depends on the ask. For me and me only ... If Ullmark demands north of 5 mil. Per ... I let him go... I’m just there yet, that he’s worth more than that. Plus I’m inherently allergic to dumping a lot of money into a goalie.

Flyers ... 4 Sabres ... 2 Hall, Olofsson, or Risto with a goal

And if the cap goes up ... the 11% drops. So it won’t always be 11% most likely. But still a boat anchor nonetheless ...

Looks around for people who take pi’s opinion on anything Reinhart related seriously ...

A lot of valid concerns why many feel Ullmark isn’t quite #1 material yet. And yet some supporters of throwing a truck of money at him is a risk worth taking, have good points too. I’d like to see him have one, just one full 82 game season where he plays 55-60 games. IF he has even league average numbers then ... ok, throw him a multi year contract in the 5-6 mil. A year range. Until then, I’d prefer the Sabres look elsewhere for a legit, #1. Or at the very least, a major upgrade over Hutton.

Hey let’s bring back ...

New? Not quite.

Or… Because he is a very good straw that stirs the drink on any top six and makes his teammates better. And because he’s one of the best if not the best passer on the team. And because almost every year he’s been in the league he’s increased his point totals.... you throw six years at $6.5 million at him and see what his camp says. there’s not a doubt in my mind that if he goes to another team he’ll get very close to that number. Give or take $500K. And it wouldn’t be an overpayment.

I don’t fume over losses I don’t get pissed over losses I have more important things in my life to worry about, and get mad about or upset about or be overly passionate about. The Sabres in 2021 is not one of them. I was slightly aggravated, or frustrated for about five minutes after the game. then I just let it roll off my back like all the other losses this season. I find the emotion of pure anger over the Sabres this season is a waste of my energy. The most I can muster up is aggravated or frustrated ... briefly 😂

It looked like a shoulder or arm injury. Not 100% on that.

I still think GM’s around the league, will look at the fact that the entire team was terrible all season… Not just Hall. They will also take into account Covid. it’s a safe bet that most GM’ will think he will return to be a pretty good player on the next team. I think the Sabres will get a 1st for Hall, or a pretty close equivalent with a player and a pick. nostalgia talking ... I mean if Paul Gaustad can return a 1st ... 😂

Now ... can Sabres S natch defeat from the jaws of victory? Everyone’s thinking it ...

😂

Yea I understand all that. And he makes an intriguing case for himself. I have my views on the man. I hope he improves. I just have this nagging feeling that if he had the lions share (55-60 games) of an 82 game season, he wouldn’t improve. He would get worse. But like so many things on a team sport, a lot of factors go into him being meh, good, or great. Just my O.

I don’t think Ullmark today, right now, is #1 status on almost every NHL team. He’s a very capable #2 on a deeper team. I’d want a goalie of better talent/ability to be considered the #1. Ullmark isn’t that. However if we had a better coached team and a couple Dman upgrades, Ullmark all of a sudden could look much better in net. But, that’s a big IF and wishful thinking.

Most likely this… Plain and simple… or all the reports and rumors floating around were 100% wrong… It could be that too .. 😂

Ah ok. Now I know where to file it in my brain 😂 thanks
