Spot on.
Good player, too old for our timeline.
25 and under should be the goal.

- IonSabres


I think we can go a bit above that
Not 31 though

Only way we can do that is if we are signing a guy to a 1 or 2 year deal

Stone is a “finisher” though

Who are u getting instead?
He’s certainly a better finisher than the other options we’d have in free agency

- jdfitz77


No argument for Stone, other than he would be very expensive and I queztion our future Cap with Eichel, Dahlin, Skinner and Stone...possibly Mitts making big bucks.
If so, those F'ers better bury the puck to the tune of 30 on average each!

I think Mitts gets a bridge deal
Dahlin might too
Idk why everyone seems to assume he’s getting 10mil + on his next contract?

And you offer no explanation as to why, as usual you're blowing hot air.

They could've, but they shouldn't have had to. They also would've had to score a TD to win. Facemasks get missed all the time. If your receiver gets literally run over without the guy even turning his head, that gets called 99% of the time.

Both of those penalties should have been called. But neither of them were called. Refs really blew it tonight.

I think they have West Coast scouts. And rarely do we get info on which teams they're scouting, so maybe they're scouting all teams all the time. You're right it would be weird on the face of it to go to Vegas to scout Pittsburgh, but I think there's a simpler explanation.
- Wetbandit1


Pretty simple:

Sabres looking at a Vegas player, so they scouted the game in which said player was playing. (In vegas)

If scouts are at every game, why would anyone make a big deal out of these 4 scouts being there?

Wouldnt it just be another every day event?

Dahlins agent isnt going for a bridge deal.

He's a mega superstar in the making.

Eichel got a long term deal
Sam got a bridge deal.

Coleman-Roby / Roby-Coleman (WTF) committed two PI penalties, neither of which were called.
In any other game the would have been 3 flags thrown on each play, they were that obvious.
Why officials call games one way for 18 weeks, then decide to call it differently in the biggest games is simply beyond me.
Dumb, dumb, and dumb.

Agreed.
Mittsy might get one unless he puts together a dynamic 2019-2020 season.

The nfl is fixed

Too much $ involved

Why wouldn't they hire professional officials?

He has some growing to do. Haven't noticed him much this season. Similar to Sams 1st . Mitts shows more in comparison.

Even if he puts together a dynamic 19-20 he deserves only a bridge.

Eichel= dahlin. - franchise altering players

Big difference

I agree. 1 year shouldn't be the judge of it . his 3rd year of the contract should show what we have in him .

He's not seeing 12 per until he strengthens that lower wrist, those back door bingos are going to be his calling card

It all depends on how Mittelstadt performs next year. I think they bridge him as well.

Ya, I look for him during games but you arecright.
He has focused on the D side of his game, at ghe expense of his offensive game. 8t is almost like he is in awe of other players...he needs to go out determined to dominate...let McCabe, Risto, Bogo, worry about the D side of it for awhile.

12 million is about right for dahlin in 2 years.
I hope so, that would mean he is a top nhl player.

Mitts probably gets a bridge either way.
Unless he is a ppg guy.

I think he’ll get $10M per year just like Eichel.

Since he burned a year last year, that 3rd year is next year. I bet he gets a bridge.

I would guess there are scouts at most games. At least I'd hope so. Maybe the fact that there were 4 of them is what made it newsworthy.
