What're the numbers on Housley's contract? Just curious..

Quenneville is at $5M per, I think for this season and the next..

Yes, it's likely unsustainable.

Sidney Crosby missed big portions of seasons.
Even a full season.

He came back and was sidney Crosby of old.

You wonder if Q would take the job if the pegula's offered it?

Eichel
Skinner-
Dahlin

Start of a real core

Gotta watch out for the Ducks and Blues with there coaches also. Blues are built for win now and what happens after ? Ducks are getting old and slow. As of now, we look the best option for future and moving forward.

I am not a fan of Quenneville but if your a rich owner and want to put your stamp on the team


you fire phil and hire him today

Count me in on that but I'd doubt ownership ships out Phil.

O’Reilly 2 goals
Colin White 2 goals

Former Sabres killing it tonight

You just don’t do that when you’re team is starting out play your opponents

You can debate it all you want but there’s no guarantee that Skinner is here without being able to move out O’Reilly’s deal.

Plus, this team is just better without him playing 20 minutes.

It’s going to get even better playing Dahlin in Risto’s role.
- sbroads24

Guarantee?
Of course not
But what is actually guaranteed?
That’s a BS cop out & u know it

Common freaking sense says that Botts would make that Sheary trade AND that Skinner trade,
regardless of who was or wasn’t still here
Cap moves could always be made
And there was no rush to move O’Reilly

Also, with Mittelstadt here this season,
THERE’S NO GUARANTEE that O’Reilly would continue playing 20min a night
You even said on here MANY MANY times that Mitts would take some minutes from him


Your hate for the guy is just freaking bonkers

Anyone with eyes can see that ROR would add more to our top6 than Berglund did,
or that Sobatka is attempting

Sorry for interrupting whatever player u happen to be slamming tonight
I’ll let u get back to it

Again, has nothing to do with this season right now. Beyond this season.

Sure we might be better with O’Reilly this year. I don’t really care we’re heading in the right direction by far

The Sabres moved out O'Reilly and brought in 3 players making about a million more total than 1 player.

They would have had to fill those spots with either 2 rookie deals like Nylander and Asplund. Or found some vets.

They would have been able to afford Skinner with ROR this year but they wouldn't have made the move if they plan on keeping Skinner past this year.

The team certainly wouldn't be where they are in the standings if they were using random players in place of Sobotka and Berglund IMO.

I seriously can’t believe what I’m reading here

O’Reilly, Nylander, Asplund
is so freaking far above
Berglund, Sobatka, Thompson
that this is a just a bad joke at this point


And Stripes...
I’ve demonstrated over & over & over that having O’Reilly AND Skinner is doable with the Cap moving forward with plenty of room
PLENTY
And yes, that even includes new deals for the kids when it’s time as well

The Sabres had no interest in playing their future #3 Center 7.5 mil.

That being said, O’Reilly is playing great right now

Maybe... we still have no Secondary Scoring

Weren’t the guys from the StL trade supposed to be that for us?

And u bash a different player of ours on here every freaking day

There’s still work to be done even if...
and it’s a HUGE freaking “IF”
we can keep Skinner


Funny how u talk about what i can’t guarantee
Look in the mirror on that sir

Amazing what happens when u give him decent wingers and don’t make him the most heavily used forward defensively in the entire league...
isn’t it?

- Boss34

The only problem is Bogo has never been good. Crosby is maybe the 3rd or 4th best player of all-time.

You might hate Berglund. But he’s been good since game 4 or 5. He’s getting shots and chances.

For a depth player he’s good. He was never meant to replace ROR straight up

I don’t hate Berglund
He’s just super average
And he wasn’t brought here to play well on the 4th freaking line
So don’t even give me that crap

The 3 guys added up don’t even approach ROR
Not yet anyways

Or maybe i was right about ROR after all
Along with...
the “experts”
his peers
and the ANALYTICS guys u love

He’s not just “playing great”
ROR is great
Or “really good”
Or whatever terminology u wanna use

“Replaceable” certainly doesn’t fit though
Except in your version of Gerbe-land

We will see how much this keeps up, since it’s by far his best start and best prodoof his career so far.

Honest question, if he’s better in St. Louis, and we’re a better team, how has t it worked out so far?

He's a key player on what is effectively our 2nd line. You don't have to work so hard to defend him.

The RoR trade was a great deal on many levels. If someone can't see that by now, there's really no convincing them. If you love the Skinner deal and hate the RoR deal, you really need to look in mirror and accept that vets don't always have the value you'd like them to have.

Only your amount of hate could think we are better off with the return we got for him

We’d be EVEN BETTER with O’Reilly right now
How can u not see that?

And don’t talk about going forward

There's many and the 1st rounder was the biggest piece coming back. You're getting baited into a pretty dumb argument, and I don't believe today is even RoR day.
