Come to think of it, Ennis shows more speed and skill then half our roster. Any chance we can put the smurf squad back together ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 At least Montreal, Philly and Toronto all won tonight so Botts has zero reason to even think about playoffs as the deadline approaches. Once they get trounced by Pitt on Saturday, the curtain will drop shortly after.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except we play really well on Saturday mornings and Pitt could be caught looking ahead to their Sunday showdown with the Caps (backup goalie for us, etc.). We win and we're in! Wait... we win and JBot sees progress rather than necessary adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance we can put the smurf squad back together ? that's funny...remember the good old "smurfs" the Sabres were referred to years ago? Danny Briere I am sure would still be a improvement on over 3/4's of our current roster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a spear to Ovechkin's groin that we took issue with, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something here? seems like a whole lot for a 24 year old guy with 23 points. Of course Scandella got a 2nd rounder and a 4th so whatever...

bunomatic Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 More players involved than just the pick. Boston continues to improve while we tread water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff Around The Edges Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Kase is a player who is prime for a breakout, if he can stay healthy this is a great deal for the Ruins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably why Risto ends up sticking around. Until someone like Borgen or Fitzgerald is ready to come up the only other guy they have is Pilut who is just okay. They don't have to pay Dahlin or Joker yet, just Montour, so it's kinda whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I like Borgen a lot - what are the chances he can have an impact like last year's Cernak, or this year's Jokiharju, in terms of quality play? Or even just 80% of Joki's impact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless he can (or is allowed to) switch sides he's blocked until Risto/Montour/Miller moves. And probably until 2 of them move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
