Keep Risto for one more year until Joker and Borgen are ready. Play him with Dahlin, should up His value.

I personally don't like the decision to bring both Larsson and Girgs back. Maybe you keep Larsson because he's a centre and he killed penalties well. But Girgs is definitely replaceable with one of the other Left Wingers. Heck, Sheary could have ended up playing 4LW. Think of how much better our 4th line would have been with him there instead of Girgs?

maybe, but it would seem as if their role under Housley was to be put in the most difficult defensive situations, check like mothers and flip the ice...smith's better than that

Sure, they didn't do a lot of scoring but
In addition they also aren't fast, they had the same amount of fights as Evan Rodrigues, they don't provide assists, their +/- wasn't good and they're generally boring to watch.

So glad we get another year of them

If the sabres didnt have such a glaring hole at 2C .... i would be all for keeping him.

i'm as surprised as anyone that both were re-signed, I figured they'd move on from one of them

It's July 12th, and maybe some team needs "average" 4th liners for around 1.5M?

I'd be willing to guess he would be excited to work with a box of rocks if it had a Sabres logo on it.

My buddy shot me a text saying he’s hearing Skunks name come up. Anyone else hearing chatter about him? I wouldn’t think he’d be someone GMJB would ship out

A lot of people are happy, and I think really everybody’s happy. Some people just aren’t willing to admit it. Does that make sense?

The people that have the talent are the people that we deal with. And it’s true, and some of you are extraordinary. I can’t say everybody, but no, but some of you are extraordinary. The crap you think of is unbelievable. Unbelievable.

They go through houses. They go up. They ring doorbells. They talk to people. How many toilets do they have? How many desks do they have? How many beds? What’s their roof made of? The only thing we can’t ask is, are you a citizen of the United States? Isn’t it the craziest thing? Twenty billion. Pretty amazing.
