Can we go back to picking on Sam now? Is Larson really that important to this team??

Both of us
- SABRES 89

winner winner chicken dinner

at a glance, they would need to take scandella or bogo back and either berglund or the pod racer and either skunk with picks and prospects or no skunk and a lot of picks/prospects


then again we got skinner for next to nothing
- homiedclown

It would be Sam ++, they want young players with not a huge cap hit.

Kane being back home... yikes. So how many games before his cousin gets him in to trouble and he gets suspended if that happens? If Chicago wants to get rid of him, they should just lift the ban of him coming to Buffalo except for xmas.

Here ya go, Larsson plays more than Casey at even strength. The Larsson line is the middle-6. If you want to deny it, and make excuses for them, go ahead. I have no idea why people want to make excuses for that line that produces below a 4th-line level while playing more than the "2nd line," but if you're wondering why we don't score, this is the reason.

If he ever was to play for the Sabres he needs to have handler with him at all time like when he comes home to visit now.

f@cking amateur hour

The hockey News podcast suggests

Reinhart
Ukka Pekka-Lukkonen
Pominville
Guhle
Olofsson
3 first round picks

for

Patrick Kane


The 3 first round picks are to unload Pominvilles salary.

Tim Murray would have tossed in an extra 2nd and 3rd

here is the correct link for this season

https://www.hockey-refere...e.com/teams/BUF/2019.html

casey has more ice time even strength
less pp time

larsson has inflated face off stats due to taking draws in our own end, and skating to the bench

AK-47s, hookers and blow. What could go wrong?

yeah, my bad.

Casey plays 1 second more than Larsson per game at even strength

The Larsson bashing on here is disturbing.

Larsson also has a really low ice time per shift, due to taking draws and skating to the bench

Nope nothing like that from what I've heard.

Reinhart
Nylander
Guhle and picks. Something to that effect. Certain parts of the deal and players can change. You won't see "nothing players" going to the Hawks. So a cap dump of Okposo won't happen.

Didn't know Tim Murray was on that podcast?

I'm done.

Ya'll can have Larsson

- Pairo11

all I got is he is not the problem, but not the solution


taking draws by default in our own end and killing penalties over 2 minutes a night still makes his line the 4th line IMO

I'm done.

- jcragcrumple

I think if Casey, Okposo, Sheary, Berglund, Pommer, dirty pod racer and Thompson step up, Larsson becomes an afterthought on issues with this team right now


Girgens and Larsson on the 4th line is the least of our worries, as is the top line

I'll take Larsson over Okposo , yea I said it.

I'd take the all star milk carton boy from Latvia over Okposo


twice

Once they are given more time, I will agree. Right now we have 3 lines getting 3rd line minutes, and only one of those lines is immune to criticism

yeah, blackhawks are toast because their mammoth contracts finally depleted their depth

so lets deplete our depth and grab one of their mammoth contracts

Issue is you need to dump 10.5 MM in salary to bring in Kane.

Calm down, nobody said that is going happen. The main focus now and has been is JEFF SKINNER. It's up to him if wants what the Sabres will offer him if not, he will be moved. Doesn't look like that will happen as of now. Nylander is nothing and Guhle is nothing also.

Like I said and Homie has said, Skinner is the main focus now.
