We could say nobody knows why he sucked for half of a contract year.
But this is hockeybuzz, where everyone is right and knows everything.
...So obviously, your friend isn't listening.

I know nothing.

I dont think 3 coaches, unless one counts the 9 game run as his "1st season"
2 with Disco Dumbo where he performed decently.
1 with Housley that was two ends of the spectrum.

Adjustment time? surely....just not 44 games to do it.

It i s a stretch to lay it at thdd feet of coaching change for that long of a period.

Also find it ironic to use that excuse for a player who's lauded for being so smart.

Jarvis Landry is a moron

Are you saying the german is Jarvis?
Makes sense.

But you forgot to say he should expire as well.

Very good post...
Your main houghts are spot on, the details are slightly off.

That false narrative is a trigger f or me I guess.

you can probably count on one hand the number of sabres that has been drafted by the team, since mogilny and scored as many goals in the first 3 seasons

Sam was not smart for the 1st half of the season?
Sam was smart for the second half?

I just do not see it.

Hopefully I'm missing something.

I hope he becomes a star, but also see him as a ride along now. Good player, nothing special

I'm not trying to be negative, but a bridge deal makes sense.

Sam can prove his worth
Sabres can see more precisely what they are getting.
He's young. He can show his worth with some actual talent this year.
Although he's played with eichel and ror quite a bit
I highly doubt we go the long term route.

I didn't.

you changed my post from the past 30 years to 48 years



so yeah ya did

A bridge deal is safe for the team.

Inking him long term is a better investment for the team.

In my opinion

trade him for a future 6th rd pick

I swear to God I never want to talk about 6th round picks ever again after The Debacle in Dallas *TM*

Sam -

Pros
- scored 25 goals
- good friends with our superstar eichel
- consistent year end numbers over the past 3 years
-homegrown talent


Cons
- kinda soft
-kinda slow
-pp points
-doesnt play the body or fore check
-hasn't put in the gym time
-didnt play well for half of last season


Am I missing anything

The only pro arguements that you keep bringing up are his goals/ points. Which are decent. Not 7 million dollars worth

trade him for a future 6th rd pick
- homiedclown

12% of his games have this place turned on its ear.

The bad years have colored the thinking so that bad things are expected.
