He sucks. Why would a team want him when they can get the same production and a player who can stay on his feet for the rookie minimum?

I have seen way worse players then Gus in the NHL

So I do agree given his production over the past 2-1/3 seasons.
But, I still maintain he played much, much better the last 2 games..I actually noticed his jam and he created havoc down low. That said, production counts, which has been that of an AHLer over those seasons.

He needs a change of scenery and I would take a 3rd for him at this point.

If a GM gave that for him, it would be a huge steal. Girgs scores at a sub-4th line pace while making more than Erod.

He's a really good AHL player, but brings nothing to the NHL level. No physicality, fighting, scoring, creativity. I'd take Nolan or Wilson over him any day.

Housley scratching him gives me faith because he seems to have figured out girgs is bad

Like once a year I get a craving for it. Mostly for the breadsticks, but the pizza too. I'm always disappointed in the pizza aside from the crust which is awesome.

Haha seriously. They are they only place in Buffalo (as far as I know) with stuffed crust. Why aren't there more pizza joints with stuffed crust technology?

Not stuffed crust, just the regular pan pizza crust.

The age would mean something if they were still relatively new to the league.

Ristolainen is closing in on 300 games played in the NHL

Mccabe almost at 200


They are what they are.

Coaching can definitely change a player. Good or bad coaching

We need to get Dahlin or one of the other Dman at the very top of this draft. Virtually every contender has a franchise Dman and we'll never afford to trade for one. I like seeing the team come together and put up some wins, but we need to stay at the bottom for the rest of this season. Our defense will only marginally get better without a legit #1.

I really have no clue what Girg's value to this team is. He doesn't excel at anything, he can't score or make plays, he doesn't hit or fight, he belongs nowhere near the top 6 or PP, he's just a body that skates around out there like the Sabres were down a man for a pick-up game and they said we have no other option, grab a jersey.

He had like 8 hits yesterday nevermind he had one and seven in the philly

Has he ever had a carubba collision? His hits consist of him spinning, falling and hitting someone with his butt.

Usually it's the bridge of his nose that takes the worst of it from his helmet

16 pts in 26 games

averaging 2.5 shots a game


Shame Risto and McCabe didn't become a bit better, would have taken a bit of the pressure of Guhle

- Sabresfan-365


McCabe is 24 & Ristolainen is 23
Why are u talking like they’re done developing?!

Not just you...
but everyone on here who thinks that a guy is all he’s ever gonna be after a season or 2 or 3 or even 4...
guys get better throughout their career
And many don’t become the guy they’re gonna be until they’re like 26 or so

For every Eichel,
there’s a whole bunch of guys who develop like Pominville or Brian Campbell

Niether Campbell or Pominville hit 300 games on their early twenties.

Development isn’t about age, it’s about experience.

How much better did Zach Bogosian get after 23 years old? None
