Thorner Posted October 15, 2021 Report Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) And it was being said Butcher was a redundant add... there are always injuries. and the sabres are always near the top of the league, they just are. we were always going to need the bodies of course the first two we get are at C and RHD...

Believe. Donnie Meatballs has my complete trust. He’s the best man for this team at this time. Butcher? Um, not so much. He did absolutely nothing to impress me in preseason and it was easy to see why Lindy didn’t wanna play him even on a poor team in Joisey. Quote

Im no Butcher fan (ok, that’s an understatement), but he was a terrible fit for a Lindy Ruff coached team, especially if NJ lacked enough D first D to balance a guy like Butcher. DG runs a different vision. He doesn’t mind putting to O first D together, like Bryson and Miller, as long as they are willing to work hard to get back. He wants to play fast, and I think his hope is 2 good skaters will move the puck up quickly. It worked in game one. 81 to go and we’ll see if 2 O first pairings will work. Honestly both Miller and Butcher’s careers are on the line this season. They better step up if they want decent contracts in the NHL next season. Edited October 16, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN 3 Quote
