*garbage stats*

If I may?
Why the never ending hate for Samson from some here it seems?

I think that some may expect too much from him?

I like Samson's game but maybe that's because of where I sit at the games?

This is what I can’t understand.

How anyone can like his game more than once every four or 5 games.

He’s a ghost 90% of the time

Wait till January

No Kane, no O’Reilly. Sabres 13th in goals scored.

We survived

And we’d have even more with them!

I will agree to disagree.
I think that we know what Samson is now.
I don't expect him to be where we selected him in the draft.
I expect him to be what we know he is now.
I find value in Samson for being a gritty and dangerous supporting role player for this team moving forward.

But hey, that's just me.

Edit: perhaps you just need to lower your expectations?
👍

A lot of it is optics. Hard working players, who are tough on the forecheck are fan favorites. Sam is the opposite.....slow and finds a way to lose every battle.

Yeah, respectfully, I just don't see it that way.

we have a sprong, his name is tage thompson



- homiedclown

But i heard he was an “A level” prospect...

You spelled "Stone" wrong

I would like to have a civil discussion about Sam.

A play that bothered me last night was the ot goal.

He was slow to get back, lacked some effort as well.
When risto scores, sam is just coasting again.
Then no emotion in the celebration.
Watch the replay.

Sam had a couple nice plays as well. He worked well with erod at center. He was noticable last night.

I like him on the pp, with the 1 time pass in front.

I'm trying to be respectful and not start a war

And yet again what, 4 posts later. Unreal

Glad you're not the coach. yeah last year we heard all about how it's so easy to find wingers that score 20 goals too... Still wondering why we don't have 8 of them if it's soooo easy....
- gordong

I’m sure Sbroads can tell you

There were a few of us that liked the addition of Pommer especially with the subtraction of Ennis (who I wanted gone for a long time)
- Stripes77

is ennis on pace for 50 points, now that stinklander is still holding out?

Look in the mirror sir

Better yet,

50 point per year nhl players suck, unless they have the last name of wilson or myers, or armia



oh wait

but if we develop a flux capacitor we can go back in time


then Pastrnak would be drafted 1st or 2nd instead of 25th, and we would have him or Draisaitl.


all jokes aside skunk is still taken in the top 8 from that draft class in a redraft done right now

oh wait

Agreed. He's paid appropriately. He's a middle-6 RW, not a center, not a game changer. He's fine. How do we acquire the RW that keeps Sam in his proper middle-6 position, or use him to acquire a 1RW? That's more interesting to me

ironic they are both struggling in the NHL, like most players not picked in the top 10 of a draft

his agent visits hockeybuzz everyday and he understands that even if he gets 2 points in a hockey game, 3-8 sabres posters will bash him the next day

Every player "floats," from time to time.
I think Jack is more guilty of "floating" more than Samson for sure.

I have no issue with Sam because I know what he is as a player.

But hey, I respect your point of view too.

I feel the 3 biggest issues at rw right now


1. okposo's salary
2. thompson not cutting it again in the nhl
3. is casey a center? or a winger?


crazy, if we sign skinner, we can focus on the biggest issues with the roster which is a few d men and just keep developing the prospects

it's amazing how much better this organization is top to bottom after removing GMTM 16 months ago
