apologies for the snappy response, some of the vets here always respond with references and proverbs that nobody younger than 40 would know so it gets irritating.

It tells me that I can think for myself and that upper management of sports teams are just as prone to careless mistakes as those not involved?

See Chiarelli, Peter since....always


Edit: they were right to add Smith, the extensions was kind of a push

- Sabresfan-365



The “careless mistake” was signing Smith to that deal

He’s an average defenseman, at best
And he’s slow...
which i thought didn’t fit our system,
or the direction the league was heading

Per 36 minutes a 33 year old Shaq was only 4.5 points shy of a 24 year old Wade...

Plus Wade is the biggest wussy. Needs a wheelchair after he hurts his shoulder, not his ankle, not his knee, his shoulder.

You gave away the bait with the “points shy “

I dont know what his foot speed is like now, but last year i thought he would be an ideal scandella type add. Like i said, the extension was probably bad (too much term) but his defensive numbers have been pretty good and even on a bad NYR team, hes got the best defensive numbers.

As a waiver claim it might not be the worst thing. There's no combination of moves that will make us a playoff team next year, especially since it appears that Botts apparently isnt planing on making any big moves in the summer. So you're looking at a buy low candidate in terms of assets. If it doesn't work out, amnesty him when the lockout ends.

All of that makes ok sense...

But actually watch him play if u get a chance

There’s no point to bringing in Smith next year
Wouldn’t we be better served by trying to develop Antipin with more icetime, or Nelson?
We need a slot for Guhle as well

Bringing in a guy who won’t be part of our future doesn’t make sense to me

If he only had a year left & we could move him at the deadline, then ok
But that’s not the case

We would be, but kinda sounds like they've let that ship sail. Unfortunate but..

Im not sure about his foot speed, if its that bad now then yeah forget it. I dont remember him being that slow so i see it as decent add. This team is so bad defensively that any defensive d-man is appealing to me lol

I assure you, he’s not good

And why do u say that ship has sailed?
Antipin has been playing more lately
And Nelson is being given more icetime
Guhle will definitely be here next year too

I’m not trying say he’s terrible
But since he’s not part of our future,
taking on that bad contract makes no sense to me

Play & develop the kids

I feel like the only thing Ristolainen ever says on the ice is "reverse"


Literally the only thing I hear

Dude must think he’s playing uno.

It’s so bizarre that anyone who’s on Eichel’s line, piles up points
