Agreed. Guy waived his clause to come here. Give him a check.

He'll assume Pomminville's money I'm sure, plus a little for inflation

For the "waive Larsson" crowd, which really should be everyone, he was the only Sabres player with a negative Corsi. Girgensons, Dahlin, and Berglund were all on 50%, but Larsson was the only one below that at 46.67.

Yeah, but that ONE save he had helped tonight.

Yeah, he was fine, I just laughed that he was the only one below 50% considering how badly we out attempted them.

Yup. He's so creative and a great skater.

After watching him these last few games I kind of chuckle. We got more in return for Kane than we paid to acquire Skinner. I'd much rather have Skinner personally.

Mittelstadt is getting better
Rodrigues looks solid
Bogosian isn’t handing teams goals
Eichel has a winger that can actually play with him.

Our goalies aren’t headcases.

What team is this?

You can tell the guys who have been here are sick of losing. After the game, Risto just kept repeating how done is with losing. They played an excellent game, and found themselves in a 2-0 hole after a weak goal, and they just kept plugging and playing their game. It's refreshing to see them not feel bad for themselves

The team needed change in a big way, and some luck with Dahlin.

I’m just so shocked at how cheap Skinner was.

They need to keep him

Actually, From Hockey Reference Berglund, Girgensons and Larsson all had below 50% CF%
Mitts lead the way with 76%

Remember everyone after the Vegas game saying this team was destined for last place again.

To be fair, the past few years have made the fan base pretty fragile.

Yeah, someone can tell him he doesn't need to fight EVERY game

Appreciate the effort Bogo, but you're gonna break something

2018-2019 The Year of Transition..
rollercoaster ride that eventually smooths out as the team defines its game, coaches find proper line combinations and players develop chemistry with each other.
Then TDL comes and we hopefully shed a couple players and bring up younger yalent.

His aggressive take no prisoners approach has helped the team play with more confidence.

Botterill seems to be well aware of the way that the league is trending, even an average team this year is big jump, couldn't feel more opposite about the Bills. Beane and McDermott might as well be GM Marv and Richard Jauron
