Annual expectations thread 2023/24: #23 Mattias Samuelson
pi2000 replied to dudacek's topic in The Aud Club
He defends extremely well, but he needs to stay healthy. I also expect an uptick in offensive production. He has the tools to be a 30-35pt player. -
Annual expectations thread 2023/24: #27 Devon Levi
pi2000 replied to dudacek's topic in The Aud Club
I'd say he plays upwards of 60-65 games, not necessarily in the Calder discussion, but with some typical ups and downs of a rookie. Overall providing (at minimum) average NHL goaltending which will springboard this team into the playoffs. -
Some infamous photos.....

He's going to be a perennial All-Star. -

I predict an average of 15 kills, 30 Top 20s, and 5 Top 10s for Fortnite. -

Sabres Trade Ilya Lyubushkin to Anaheim for a 2025 4th Round Pick
pi2000 replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Because.nobody is willing to give up anything for him. He's destined for waivers, nbd. -
What a great human being we've lost. Grateful for the opportunity we've had to listen to him for so many years. Rest in peace Rick, thank you for all the memories.

Dahlin or Power, Who Will Have The Better Career?
pi2000 replied to bob_sauve28's topic in The Aud Club
Dahlin -13, 44 points, 21:09 toi, 20 ppp, 2:51 pp/toi Power +10, 35 points , 23:48 toi, 8 ppp, 1:58 pp/toi Dahlin soent more time on the power play his rookie year, he's the more skilled and creative offensive player. That said, Power had the better rookie season even strength... better +/-, more es points, toi... but they're very very close. -
I believe Adams fully understands the predicament in net, however he's sticking to his "want to be here" requirement. Buffalo is well known across the league as goaltender purgatory. The team gives up too many shots and scoring chances. For that reason established veteran goaltenders are avoiding Buffalo like the plague, it's career suicide. The solution most likely needs to come from within. The team needs to improve their defensive play and continue to develop their own goaltenders. That said, it would be great if a veteran waived their no-trade believing they could be the missing piece to end the longest playoff drought in pro sports, but that hasn't happened.

It's all bunk. You're telling me these supremely advanced beings can build anti-gravity craft, travel through wormholes or from other dimensions, but they crash in our atmosphere? This kinda stuff is gaining traction now for two reasons. 1. The rise of social media which promotes this type of garbage to keep the population at large distracted. 2. At no point in our history has the minority had a larger voice than they do now. That said are there skunk works type military programs testing advanced tech? Of course. In this day and age where everyone has a high res recording device in their pocket, there is still no verifiable proof.

With a month remaining in the season I tried to figure out how many more points the Sabres would have with simply league average goaltending on home ice....

The defense could be better, but both Comrie and UPL ranked bottom 10 on home ice for goals saved above expected.... that's on the tendy's.

They will both have great careers, but if we're talking complete defenseman I'd lean Power. -

Studies show that with league average goaltending on home ice, the Sabres make the playoffs last season.

Benson is one of the fiercest puck hounds I've ever seen as a prospect. I'm more excited about his ability to create turnovers than enything else he can do offensively. Just a very unique skill set.

He looked great at Worlds, time to take that next step.
