I also wouldn't mind E. Staal or Versteeg on the cheap.

I would just prefer we sign stamkos, vesey, soupy and trade for landeskog. We will be pretty damn good then. Right?

It's per 60 minutes. It actually helps identify players who maybe should get more minutes but do not.

Evander Kane's 20 goals and 35 points in 68 games or whatever doesn't look horrible, but considering he played 20 minutes a night, he scored like a lower level 3rd liner.

Same with O'Reilly, at even strength he was not anything spectacular this year

I get that. I said it twice.

All I'm saying is not all minutes are equal. You have to look at the entire body of work. Not just one little slice.

And what about Risto? Is he a tweener 2nd/3rd pairing guy? That's what "the numbers" say.

Edit: To me when a player plays is more important than how much.

So is landeskog actually available or is this all made up? If he is available I would definitely kick the tires on that one.

Gotta think it's bogus. But I've been wrong before.

Another signing that points in the direction of 17-18 being the year to go for it


Eichel, Reinhart, Nylander, McCabe, potentially Vesey and some key bottom 6 players all making very little on the cap...

Helm
Bartkowski
Montoya

A few under the radar guys we could get on the cheap.

- mhp


Montoya/ Hutton both guys that had similar numbers to Johnson last year. Works for me

I can't see them trading him. But Edmonton traded hAll. So all bets are off

I wonder who is going to give me crap over the stamkos comment

3 year 4.8 mil total.
- SabresFaninIndiana


That will look real good in three years, not so sure about figuring out the next contract. I think he's going to be a stud.

I would prefer the Sabres don't jump into the FA frenzy. But if they're dead set on blowing money I would rather have it be Okposo, than Backes, Ladd, Lucic, Staal, Eriksson, etc

See, you and I and some others can look at stats and realize context is needed.

Some cannot. Risto is a 1 or 2. He was way too heavily relied on last year on a bad team.

It's the same argument I had for #57 when he was here. He was a lot better than his corsi indicated.

That's all I'm trying to say. You can get so bogged down in the numbers that you can't see the forest for the trees. I don't mean you personally, I just hate using "one". It sounds so pretentious I want to punch myself in the face.
