Michael Pachla: Building the 2018-19 Buffalo Sabres roster--C, Casey Mittelstadt

6 games | 1 goal | 4 assists | 5 points | +1

On the 17-18 Sabres? That can't be right

I think the Sabres should keep this one around

Coleman cut.

I know Sam is the contract ppl keep talking about...
but i hope Botts is working on an extension for Skinner too
What’s he gonna cost?
7mil per? 8 maybe?

Coleman cut.

Heard it will cost like 3.5 mill against 2018 cap. That deal kinda looks like it sucks now. Also kinda sucks about Mack. I guess for the best. Bills probably a year or two away from being in a good position for a deal like that.

he showed nothing...was a bust in Cleveland too...waste of a 7th round pick

This isn’t really on the same topic, but I have serious questions about McDermott’s in-game decision making. Seems like a great guy for the team in general and a great leader, but even in the preseason the dude has no balls to go for a 4th and 2, or challenge for a 1st down

Conservative coaching is a legitimate critique, and he's certainly not alone (Hue Jackson punted against the Bills on 4th and 1 from the Bills 40 in game 2), but I can't think of anything sillier than challenging a call in the preseason

It was pretty clear first down, that would have given Josh Allen more playing time.

Also, last year he did the two things that Rex was criticized the most for (as far as in-game mistakes)

Punting late in OT when you need a win

Having 10 men on the field on defense during a crucial play.

I just think he has a lot of room to be better

Preseason though
When i start seeing that stuff in the regular season I’ll take issue with it

Made zero sense

So dumb

The mystery around the starting QB in game 4 is beyond silly. The process stuff is already getting old.

His players like him though, and no matter what you think of the decision to play Peterman against the chargers, that took cajones. He's in for a rough going this year, methinks

I think looking it back on it today it seems that way, but Tyrod threw for 50 yards through 3 quarters, at home the week before. Any QB should be benched after that

i'll agree with the challenge, but am not too worried about punting

he was a rookie head coach last year

@homie and 89...

putting on the tribe hat with pride today...not sure what will happen with Donaldson, but it was a sweet move that could go a long way if he gets healthy

Mickey D gets a lot of credit for getting lucky last year. Ravens will be looking to smash them next Sundee.

luck, no doubt, was part of it...he seems like he has all the tools to run a football team and motivate the players...am hoping that as he gains more experience and becomes more comfortable with what he has in his players, his decision-making will get better

wow...McCarron traded to Oakland


edit: should recoup at least the 7th they sent for coleman…..could they land a 5th for aj?
