why the PP coach.. who wouldn't think that Okposo on PP1 is a good idea..
- SabresFaninIndiana

The Sabres could be dangerous the next few months if the pp got on track.

Pommer needs a shot on the pp.
Especially over okposo

The reason the Sabres have kept pommer is for playoff experience and helping the young guys.

If we make the playoffs or make a run, wouldn't pommers value be greater to buffalo?

Who's giving us a 3rd for pommer? A playoff team looking for playoff experience?
- Boss34

He has played his entire career with the Sabres and the Minnesota Wild.

You are familiar with those franchises' playoff record, arent you?

scandella is still a problem on the bottom pair


and that 4th line is way too expensive per player and twice as many 4th liners as the team should have


my 2 cents
- homiedclown

Agreed that they have too many/too expensive, and how in the hell did Scandella get to be so bad?

Why did I move back to Buffalo?

Its 70° warmer where I left.

So I'll oblige for whatever reason.

18 and 16 playoff games first 2 years with buffalo
13 and 10 playoff games a couple years in Minnesota

81 career playoff games 51 points

Why would homie suggest a team would trade a 3rd for him? Its definitely not the 2 goals in the last 30 games.

Pretty impressive resume in my opinion

Even if you retain on his pro-rated salary, it's still an issue for playoff teams. They use the little cap room they have for better players.

I don't think Buffalo ends up in the playoffs this year.

Trade vets (Sobodka, Pommer, Scnadella) if you can to continue to clear space and gain assets picks/prospects.

Its 0, feel like is -25°.

The temperature where i left feel like is 40.


that sounds like a damn heat wave at this point.

If we land Karlsson in Free agency Risto is traded before the summer is over for sure...
- hehateme

If we somehow got Karlsson trading McCabe for some help up front would make sense. Next year BOGO, Scandella, and Hunwick would be on expiring contracts and McCabe needs an extension this off-season

A) Never in the Cup Finals, much less a winner there.
B) More years of one and done than year of moving into second round.

I don't think he has any value other than nostalgia. One of the greatest moments of Sabres history. MY FAVORITE moment of Sabres history.

But that's why he's on this team - nostalgia. And that won't merit his being on any other team (and it doesn't merit his being on this one.)

I agree, if we are clearly out of the playoff hunt in the next 12 games before the deadline.

I see us hanging around, 7 game home stand starting Friday vs. Easier teams.

Pommer has value, id like to see him on the pp

I'm buying the nostalgia, considering I'm a season ticket holder.
10 goals and 10 assists are respectable numbers

Homie mentioned trading pommer for a 3rd.

I would be surprised if any team would give that type of pick for him. If so, it's for his playoff petigree and leadership.

I'm hoping we make a serious run at the playoff race. Pommer isnt holding us back.

Scandella
Okposo
Sobotka

All larger problems for the Sabres then pommer and his 33 games left in his career

I'd gladly hold 35% of Okposos salary to move him.

Dude...
i was a Pommer fan too
But nostalgia is clouding your vision here
He’s got ONE goal and ONE assist in the past 22 games
Pommer provides us essentially nothing in his current role

He wasn’t brought here for experience
He was part of that trade bc Minny needed to dump his salary for Cap Space,
and they gave us a discount on Scandella to take him

Pommer might not be a “problem”
But he isn’t helping much right now either
