I wanna slap the ppl here that refuse to eat blue cheese and wings

I like blue cheese,
but i don’t dip my wings in them

My biggest concern is his incredibly slow food speed. It’s not remotely competitive in a now completely stacked east. We can make up for his 16 goals and add speed/grit

This is where Lazar comes in, with his compete and speed

With John Tavares 97% of the time. Kane did it with a revolving cast of characters including Anisimov and still had 16 more points.

You don’t come close to this by spending in FA though

In 1-2 years Boston will fall off completely without Marchand/Bergeron/Chara playing at high levels.

Tampa will be shedding players and aging as Stamkos/Hedman approach their thirties

You add UFA’s to put you over the top. We aren’t there yet
- sbroads24

And my frustration is that I believe this team is minimum 2-3 years away from doing just that.

Which would mean 2-3 years of crap hockey, after an already 8+ years of crap hockey.

Of course
Just don’t know how we can realistically get rid of him
His production is still enough to probably keep him up here, at least to start the season

Ouch. Someone is having a tough day
- Boss34

I'm fine. It's really obvious who that is though. Just like Alex the Great is obviously Beady.

Today is a good day

This is the first thing we agree on.

Wings with great flavor do not need bleu Cheese.

I honestly think this team is far better than people think -



Montour was not here all of last year
Colin Miller is an upgrade
Mittelstadt will improve
Olofsson is quite possibly a stud
Thompson could be better
Ullmark and Hutton should be better
Nylander *could* surprise
I believe Risto will be moved for a good player

I truly think that we’re fine and have better organizational depth than people think

We need a fast, gritty 4th line if we want to compete.
We are assembling some version of a decent top 9 but that should not I clue okposo, he is way too slow

Doesn’t have to be crap hockey.

I think we’re a borderline playoff team with one more legit trade (Risto for RNH for example)

But guys like Dahlin, Mitts, Cozens will be here and contribute when we’re actually contenders.

On top of that the poop we rolled out last year was in a playoff spot or within realistic reach until game 65.

I still take Cozens over a first round playoff exit *hides*

Fairy
I think it goes better with veggies as well
Ppl always give me sh!t for not dipping my wings in it

- ImThatGuy

I’m sure there’s MANY MANY things we agree on

I really don’t get why ppl get so fired up by this site
Or the Sabres even really
We can’t control this crap
We all want them to be good
All we can do is watch & see what happens

Today is a good day

At least it's real milk.

He's not worth more than $10M long term at the absolute most, but will be overpaid.

Yes he is ..

I’m sorry I would take money Mitch over Matthews anyday

- Wetbandit1

That poop is disgusting now nothing but all mayonnaise it used to be chunky Sooooooo good

His zone starts are so out of whack it's impossible to know.

This will be a good year to see who will step up from this group. I hope Nylander surprises. I hope they all step up. We could potentially have a very nice core for many years to come

I'm a huge fan of blue cheese, but I don't like blue cheese dressing/dip unless I'm using it in my buffalo chicken dip (ranch can go straight to hell). I don't like dipping my wings in anything.

This topic got me to thinking about how a hotel I was staying at in San Francisco, of all places, had "Buffalo" wings on the menu with actual blue cheese crumbles semi-melted on top. As is usually the case outside Buffalo, the sauce was not really Buffalo-style (it was still okay), but the blue cheese crumbles on top was revelatory. I can't believe I never thought of trying it before, and I'm definitely going to do it next time I make wings.

I think you’re a little premature here
We could be a borderline playoff team
Could also be pretty disappointing again

He really isn't. Decent numbers with good talent, and then elite talent, elite numbers. Hmm. I think we need Columbo in here to figure that one out.

In a vacuum I agree with all of this. Problem is is that other teams look like they’ve improved relatively more than us. I’m hopeful coaching will be a big factor in the improvement of the team as well.

On top of that the poop we rolled out last year was in a playoff spot or within realistic reach until game 65.

- Swedish_Jesus

I think it’s easy to say that now that Cozens is a Sabre.

If you asked me that in January I’d take the playoffs
