He doesn't play any D. Time to move on (along with Between the Stalls this year)... should be a trade and eat whatever salary. I love the scoring - great, but he is a liability defensively. If Sabres want to take steps..... lots of scoring on team (not this year, I know), need forwards to be defensively responsible also. Quote

Their shooting percentage has been regressing all season. They've still got a +56 goal differential and are 1 point off a President's Trophy pace. That'd be pretty nice next year. 1 1 1 Quote

How many times do we have tell ppl he has a full no movement clause? 2 Quote

I don't want to be a team that is relying on an unsustainable pdo to get anywhere. I want to be more good than lucky. Quote

Interesting. I definitely agree it was time to give this team to the Core. Now they have to respond. I agree about Bryam’s impact. Byram getting the C over Dahlin might be uncomfortable. Quote

Scottysabres Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 03-12-24, mid-day, day 1 Byram's gamble to hold Keybank Ridge has paid off. Thompson's brigades have struck heavy casualties on Larkins Division. They hold Keybank Ridge, as Cozens Division begins to arrive! Quote

You’d certainly take it and go from there you wouldn’t take their season RIGHT NOW for next year, if given a choice? 2nd overall? Considering all the most likely and reasonable outcomes? When you’ve been justifiably down on the regime of late? You wouldn’t take that sort of improvement for next year? I call bs Dollars to donuts we don’t even make the playoffs next year, you can’t turn down 2nd overall regardless of how they got it. The chances we are better by any metric at all up to and including entertainment value is almost nonexistent Edited March 13 by Thorny 1 1 Quote

OK roster construction discussion.... I understand no trade. Doesn't mean he won't allow it. Sabres have young talent that can move up lines (JJP on 1st line?), and build out some grit on 3rd/4th lines.... Quote

You've taken something way out of context and then extrapolated from there to yell at me over something that's not even part of the original discussion. You okay? Need a hug? Beer? Therapy dog? Butt implant? Crisp high five? Snickers bar? Quote
