Buffalo fans should be prepared to see his absolute laser of a shot ring off the post more than you'd think the law of averages would allow.

Sabres fans are well prepared for this thanks to Evander Kane.

Stamkos' loss is Okposo's gain.
- Garf



Lol

Stamkos loss, of signing with a perennial powerhouse Stanley cup contender.. a loss?
Vs signing in Americas version of Edmonton... hmmm, okay.

Lucic was the 2nd biggest fish. I've been to Buffalo and it's pretty much Edmonton, except we have a better rink, mall and a statue of the Great One. Food is comparable as we both have Chili's.

look you idiots i was referencing a point garth made last week. it's funny because the weather in Buffalo is a (frank)ing catastrophe and your dining highlights are butter mixed with hot sauce and whatever the (frank) beef on weck it.

and yes i do live in Montreal and yes the weather is an abomination here but at least im smart enough not to live in the most Arctic (frank)ing region of my country.

What's he suppose to say? Buffalo wasn't what I was dreaming of but they offered the most cash? He is just happy to be overpaid and he will help the Sabres but let's not get carried away. Say what you want but you all know the truth and you know deep down there is absolutely no reason Vessey chooses this lousy team either. You all have your dream player in Reinhart so that should be plenty

That would probably be an improvement for KO

Not trying to trash the guy on the way out of the door. Love him as a player and hate to see him leave the Isles, but Buffalo fans should be prepared to see his absolute laser of a shot ring off the post more than you'd think the law of averages would allow.

Im actually sick of hearing what a goal scorer he is when he averages 15.4 goals a season on his career, and 22.3 goals per year over the last 3 seasons, which has 2 of his 3 best goal scoring seasons. The majority of his points come from setting people up, so the Sabres have to hope we get a goal scoring LW, Vesey signs and he and Eichel develop into top goal scorers magically over one offseason, Ennis comes back and is magically a sniper, or O'Reilly magically becomes a top goal scorer after being a setup centerman the majority of his career. I really dont see much progress with this signing.

You're really going to bring malls into this? Malls? If thats your idea of a good time while traveling, and then going to Chilis for dinner, you need to rethink some things.

In fairness, the West Edmonton Mall is more like an amusement park than a mall. So if you are going to travel to any mall in the world then this would probably be the one you would want to choose. It will be a good time.

I don't need him to become a power forward and hit and check and fight.

I need him to score 25-30 goals a year and get 30-35 assists.

- ImThatGuy


he's never scored 30 goals, and he got a lot of secondary assists especially last year. He'd fall down, lose control of the puck and someone would grab it and score.

he'll likely get you 20 goals and 55-60 points. He's a good player and a legit top six winger, but frankly I was sick of the lack of effort many nights, constant falling down and losing control of the puck and he won't go hard to the net. was time for a change. You will like him but he will also frustrate you guys. Most of us wanted him traded last summer.

KO played well under 50% of the time with JT
- turbo044


he didn't play with JT's line at even strength much of the season, but he played every single powerplay shift with tavares.

Its currently 81 degrees in Buffalo after having been in the 90s the last 2 weeks (32 degrees C for you frenchies). Buffalo is also one of the top destination cities for food in the US. Not only diverse, the food is incredible. Tons of famous restaurants.

Buffalo is a dumpster fire. You should travel more.

WEM is a nightmare. The amusement park/water park, Aquarium are outdated . They don't even have an arcade there anymore. The shopping is okay but they don't have anything unique, just plenty of AE, Gap, HMV, ect
