he is what, 4th on the list of prospects for d men now?

pretty sure pilut, samuelsson and laaksonen are ahead of him
- homiedclown

Samuelsson is still years away though
He’s got a lot of developing to do
Probably another year in college
Then a year or 2 in the AHL

Borgen & Dougherty will likely be the first defensemen call ups next season

Pilut seems like he’s here full time
Laaksonen should be in a Rochester,
at least to start

I meant down the road, if/when we get good

I can't think of 1 good reason to keep housley, looking at this team from december 1st on

My buddy repeated that the "Berglund situation " was a big deal

Players were not happy with the way the Sabres handled it. I know you mentioned eichel calling berglund out, I didnt hear that part. (Not saying it didnt happen)

None of these guys wanted to see a fellow player lose out on millions of $. They all have families. Many of the guys put themselves in his position. Basically the fact that he became I'll. (Depression) and we cut bait instead of helping him.

Yes, I know he quit on his team.

Fair enough...

I assume GMJB and his crew have some expectations/objective criteria that they're going to judge Wowie Housley on at the end of the season.

The biggest thing that might show Housley the door is the availability of some proven NHL coaches this year. Plus, without a major roster retool, how do you resell this $hit$how to fans next year.

some guys just lose it once they get in that 30 year range

cheechoo
richards
ryan
simmonds
moulson
okposo
- homiedclown

Simmonds has been a guy I’ve loved to watch over the years
But yeah, he’s winding down

No to Matt Duchene..NO NO NO
- sabreadvocate1

it would be a panic move IMO

, how do you resell this $hit$how to fans next year.
- notalent

sign karlsson and duchene

I’d like to grab Ferland

I think he will be fools gold for 6m or more

it's about that time when the blowouts became more frequent

top line still played ok in Jan but aside from those 3 and dahlin


yuck


casey did turn it around toward the end

Gotcha
We’ll see how Borgen grows too though
I could see him become a dependable “stay at home” type guy

If he does that over the next couple season,
maybe that frees us up to trade one of those other guys for forward help

Also, he’s a RH shot
Our depth there isn’t the best

Dahlin- i think should stay on the left
Risto- will he get traded
Bogo- not here long term
Montour- should be here a while
Nelson- depth guy, 6/7 type
Laaksonen- too soon to tell how good he’ll be
Borgen- looks like he could be decent
Fitzgerald- probably a depth guy like Nelson


So if Risto gets moved...
our right side for years to come could be
Montour, Laaksonen, Borgen/Fitzgerald

exhibit A and B

2 fools

He went after the high end free agents fans wanted signed coaches and gms fans wanted Kim made the harbor center for a better hockey community and more exposure to buffalo

Yep both are bad

it would be a panic move IMO

I would love to pry Rickard Rakell from the ducks

Ville leino was a fantastic signing.

Edit: add Matt Moulson, Okposo, Scott Wilson all FA Signings. track record is pretty bad.

Coaches, Ron Rolston, Disco dan, Teddy Nolan, Phil Housley... Again pretty underwhelming

while Harbor center is a very nice building that does not put wins on the board.
