Alex Nylander has 2 goals this year, in the AHL.

This isn’t looking great, wonder if he’s part of trade discussion

Ror stepped up not best friends with eichel
Sam stepped back, best buddies

Not sure if that matters.

Glad to see Ryan up his game

- Boss34


The only thing RoR stepping up now means is that he has been pouting since he hasn't been THE man.

He has had the ability to have this effort level all year, he just doesn't care unless he is the 1C.

That type of attitude should be moved. He will never be THE man with Eichel on this team, and we shouldn't be paying someone to half ass because they are sad someone else is better than him

Depends on what number drink I'm on


Time to call up Nylander, he isn't doing much down there

I think this roster is now Ted Nolans wet dream, let's add some natural talent and see what happens

I'm hoping the Sabres finish last OA so we get the 4th pick. They say there's not much difference between 2 and 4.

2-5 isnt a bad crop to fall into.

Svechnikov, Tkachuk, Zadina, Boqvist.... Boqvist as a consolation prize missing the fwds isnt a bad one at all.

My eyes are all about Jesperi Kotkaniemi mid 1st round. I needs him

Well, that all depends on if you want to be in the playoff atmosphere. I doubt there's any Avalanche bars up by you, so that's out. You know the Avs are just an average team. Kinda like the Flyers. They could definitely use more high end guys. Get the picks man. Screw the playoffs, who needs them! Not us.
- TheSabresTaco



Looking at the roster handout at the game last night :

Colorado had 14 guys with 12 or more points

Buffalo had 7, (1) with a high ankle sprain

Ava looked fast across the board.

Maybe the sabres need to fix the bottom 6

Avs had 8 rookies in that line up

Jost, Compher, Kerfoot, Toninato, Greer, Girard, Lindholm...Mirinov a healty scratch but also one

They are young and dumb

Ok , so it's bad that ror played great last night?

Bet he steps it up the rest of the year. Like a leader.

Watch Sam revert to first 45 games Sam.

This board gets confusing at times.

Guy plays good - he's selfish
Guy plays bad - value is UP

I know the sabres are terrible but, I would be pretty excited as an av's fan.

Also, I would be behind sakic

Couple nice trade with ror and dushane

This is a gerbejerk reaction. And certainly not one based on facts or consensus.

He knew exactly what he was signing up for when he signed his big ol contract. That Jack was the franchise guy and he wasn't.

And that shows with the level of effort RoR showed the last 2 games without Eichel vs the first ~53 games this season.

Eichel is playing 1C most of the board calls Orielley overpaid and under performing.

Eichel is out, Orielley had great games and showed leadership and effort.

Anyone else tired of Ristolainen? His lack of defense far out weighs his offensive production. I think it was so easy for him to say that he needs to play better after the game. Such an obvious statement from him. I think 3rd pairing with pp time is about where he needs to be.

He wants to be the man, but is jelly of Eichel.

He didn’t know how good Eichel was when we traded and signed him.

Cant get too ahead of myself, as not ever prospect turns out to their potential.

But you got that group of rookies. Under 23 guys in MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Zadorov. Makar, Timmins, and Bowers on the way.

It feels like they might be moving towards good itmes

I wasn't until last night.

Still young, losing must be getting to him.

When i played hockey, if the goalie sucked, you knew it was going to be difficult to win.

Now you lose eichel.

He should be more of a pro for sure, but he's young.

Brutal last night

Maybe Ror wants out?

He plays great, his value gets lowered, he gets traded

So the sabres are going to move Nylander at an all time low?

Arizona would be the only team that fits:

Domi for Nylander.

Domi 3 goals in year 3 nhl
Nylander 2 goals year 2 ahl

If I remember correctly, it would be more of an offseason deal?

I'm ready for any and all moves to happen.
