I'll take Larsson over Okposo , yea I said it.
- SABRES 89


I agree.
I bet angry lockport Larry has more trade value.

Okposos contract slides him into negative value.
Especially the no trade clause and expansion looming

Yes but things should be different everyone shouldn’t be all doom and gloom it’s a very exciting time now

Don't look at me. I went into this season with no expectations so I am enjoying the ride.

Next season I'll be calling for everyone to get fired, traded or waived.

Tennyson is an embarrassment on the Ice, there has to be someone more worthy of bringing up from Rochester

the biggest problem with the sabres, is they really are not in a win now position due to murray

have a lot of bad contracts, mostly due to murray


and do not have the prospects to be able to trade for short term help, mostly due to murray

the prospects we hoped would help a few years ago, bailey, baptiste, guhle and nylander are not on the roster, just not good enough or in baptiste's case moved on

murray pretty much ignored getting quality d men in the draft and few of his picks made outside the first fail to become decent prospects

then you look at molson, bogo, and okposo are really bad contracts, murray

assuming skinner signs, that trade becomes a home run, but still a chance he walks

the pilut signing was a great pick up, IMO we need to find ways to get more of them

the wild trade was parts for parts and even though pommer is a bad cap hit, we were in a position to absorb it, but scandella has been a huge disappointment

the ror trade, berglund and the pod racer have been meh at best, and we still have 15 more mil of them on the books after this season

49 contracts in the organization, hopefully down to 38 or 39 after this season to finish this mess murray made and start to turn the page



on the surface it's not as bad as it was, but when you take a deeper look, it's still a mess


middle 6 on the current roster is brutal

a few bad contracts

a few busts in rochester they should not offer a contract to once they expire

but the good is goaltending depth in the pipeline and finally have some D depth building in the pipeline


ain't got sh!t up front in the pipeline thanks to murray


right now, the best course is to get skinner locked up and addition by subtraction

rant over

Put Samsonite on the RW with CM and put Tage on Jack's RW; or hell, put Pommer back there.

Okposo on the 2nd line RW slot pretty much guarantees more of the same production from that line.

Projected lineup:

53 Skinner - 9 Eichel - 23 Reinhart
43 Sheary - 37 Mittelstadt - 21 Okposo
72 Thompson - 17 Sobotka - 29 Pominville
71 Rodrigues - 22 Larsson - 28 Girgensons

26 Dahlin - 4 Bogosian
24 Pilut - 55 Ristolainen
82 Beaulieu - 5 Tennyson

Why do you have Larsson on the 4th line?

Isn't he a second line guy?

Casey did play 2 more minutes even strength then larsson Saturday


Larsson gets an extra 90 seconds or so on the ice for his defensive face offs, but HIS LINE, is the 4th line



Kaleta was getting 11 minutes of ice time, 3 minutes pk and 8 minutes with the other 2 bottom feeders, was he a third liner just because he could kill penalties, NOPE

- homiedclown


Larsson gets more ice time than 5 regular forwards. That's 3rd line minutes.

IMO, Hawks downfall was trading Panarin for Saad

They knew they could afford Panarin, so they got something for him.

Can't tell if trolling.

Columbus is going to get (frank)ed because he doesn't want to sign there and everyone knows it. Chicago couldn't pay him $9M, so they got what they could.
