Since Murray took over he's added (not from draft picks) O'Reilly, Kane and Okposo to the top 6.


In that same time his best addition to the defense....was Brendan Guhle. That pretty much says it all

- Sabresfan-365


Well you have more forwards than D on your team and he did add Kulikov and Bogosian. You just choose to believe those are not notable or an upgrade. Guhle is not even his "best" addition because he currently does not even play in the NHL.

How many top 4 D men have been moved for a price you would have paid? The asking price for a true top 4 D man is very high. I do wish we add to our D, but it is not like we want an aging / past his prime guy, but a young D man with huge upside, those are not easy to come by.

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at it on the site you posted Savard isn't even 4th on his own team in G/60.

Im sorry but way too many reports for me to believe otherwise. maybe its not him and its t-pegs but there's no way kane gets an extension unless he takes a relatively big pay cut.

You do?

Hamilton, Petry, Wiercoch to a lesser extent off the top of my head.

Calling Guhle his best addition was more of a joke highlighting the fact that the NHL additions have been awful.

10th in Goals for per 60 and 4th in goals for %. Thats the list im looking at. Perhaps its an ice time issue. I have it at min 500 minutes

change the filter to 500 mins, otherwise you end up with a list of bottom pair guys being sheltered

Goals per 60 is different than goals for %

Sort the report by on ice goal stats then do GF%

Alright, I really doubt the stats on that page....

They have Risto at 30 games played, 0 goals, 6 assists.

Where in reality, at 30 games played he has 2 goals and 19 assists.

Okay now I see him as 4th. But even on other sites it has his corsi/shot suppression/possession as un-good

Sabres' lines for this drill:
Moulson-Eichel-Okposo
Foligno-O'Reilly-Reinhart
Kane-Larsson-Gionta
Carrier-Grant/Girgensons-Deslauriers



Hmmm

Still not sure why Kane isn't in the top 6, he has playing his best hockey of the year the last 8-10 games

- Stripes77


At least Carrier is in the bottom six

That's because it's filtered to 5 on 5 hockey.

Risto isn't a good 5 on 5 scorer

That's because it excludes power play points

I consider them decent players, maybe not an upgrade.

As far as Hamilton, his price was steep at 15th overall, 45th and 52nd overall picks for him, dont know that we had that kind of ammo to do so.

Petry, that was last year and he netted a second rounder. OK deal for that, I guess. (for a 29 year old, as we would want a younger guy)

I dont think getting Wiercoch or Petry would make Sabres fans that happy, Hamilton, of course it would but the cost would be high.

I guess what I am saying is that the price for good young D men is not that cheap.
