I think we will be good this year

90 points or more

- homiedclown


We’d need everything to go right for us

I think we definitely crack 80pts though
On the right track

Sabres fans don't see their team finishing last because they added Skinner, Mittelstadt, Dahlin, etc. Another way to look at it is: they were the worst team in the league last year and lost their best player in the offseason.

To be fair...
I’m wondering if we will actually score enough goals

Yeah, we added
But we also lost Kane & O’Reilly

Im thinking we are gonna need some young guys to get into the lineup & help out

Skinner and Sheary will have more than the 45-50 goals those two combined for.

Plus mitts, Dahlin, full season Erod, 15-17 from Berglund

Im not sure what Berglund does as far as scoring if he’s playing the defensive center role
And if E Rod is on line 4, then i don’t see his production increasing much, if at all

Dahlin is nice, but idk he scores more than 10

We were SUPER terrible last year scoring
There’s a ways to go still imo

I said we’d go over 80pts
Then you tried to bet me and take the EXACT stance i just took

Idk what you don’t get here?
I didn’t say we’d get under 80pts
Thus, me saying u should “read more”
And yes, i spelled it “reed” the first time on purpose
Long running joke here


Plus,
I don’t wager with ppl who don’t pay on their bets

If you want to play the enough goals game

Sobotka 11-20-32
Berglund 17-9-26
Tot- 28-29-57

ROR 24-37-61

So they are close to cancel

Skinner 24-25-49

Kane 29-25-54

So they are close to cancel

Then we added
Dahlin
Mittelstadt 1-4-5
Shery 18-12-30

So we are + 21 points (not counting Mittelstadt and Dahlin) and +17 goals.

I think we are much improved, time will tell.

Edit: Hunwick had 10 points, Thompson had 9 points, so I guess that helps too.

17 more goals isn’t gonna do a whole lot though
We were REALLY bad last year

And if Berglund & Sobatka are playing in a defensive role with us,
It’s reasonable to think they won’t hit the totals they did in StL


Obviously we will be better
I just don’t know if we are gonna make a big leap in scoring this year

I think it’ll happen more gradually as we continue to add to the lineup

Love the direction we are going in though
Dahlin was freaking huge for us

Totally, but to say ROR would even hit those totals playing less than 21 minutes a game is a question too.

I think Mittelstadt should put up 20+ goals and Reinhart will turn it around. Skinner will score with a true #1 center and Dahlin will help scoring on the rush (great at the first pass)

Not so worried about this year, we are totally moving in the right direction now, no arguments there.
Still think Botts has 1 more trade in him.
