Of course wins matter.

Making long term decisions based on short term results without factoring in context or any other variables= stupidity. Plain and simple.

If this team is healthy, doesn’t get awful goaltending or wildly unlucky shooting, and can’t get to 85-ish points. It’s a problem

- OneKaneOneCup


I just want to point out that 85 points would be 2 wins better than we were in '15-16

How could that be seen as good progress considering the changes made to the roster?

2 wins better than a team coming off a tank year

looks like he wasn't going to make the roster

Trade: The #Bills sent G Wyatt Teller and a 7th round pick in 2021 to the #Browns in exchange for a 5th round pick and 6th round pick in 2020.

This is a nice little deal. Get equal draft value for a player you are going to cut, plus a Super Sabres Special, 6th for a 7th. Gives Beane a total do-over to hopefully find another Matt Milano

Because the 15-16 team peaked at 80 points. With the bare prospect pool and no cap room.

That’s why Murray was fired. Because he had no answers and no where to go but down

15/16 doesn't factor into my expectations at all. 85 points would be solid progress in my book.

when he shows up watch how fake their broadcasting is

they got busted here one year, the stop sign was going back and forth crazy fast from the "wind"

they had a camera man at the bottom of the sign making it move


another storm, the weather man was struggling to stand up from the wind, yet 2 teenagers were skipping with ease in the back ground

I think there's a good chance that if Mittelstadt is better (50-55) this year, they eclipse the 90 point barrier.

But I think it's crazy to say an 85 point season is anything other than a disappointment and more of the same

I agree on the first point.

I think many things factor into the second point

LMAO, yeah, they've got the forward lean, braced against the (20mph) wind stance down pat. It's like the rest of the news media, solely for ratings, not to inform.

- jcragcrumple

Yeah, I think there is a small chance this team could have 95 points. Mostly, Dahlin has the potential to turn into a top 5 NHL defenseman at any point, and when that happens, you aren't going to suck. Those guys at worst are on average teams.

If they get 85 points though it means the season was a colossal waste of time.

Yea adding a top 15 lottery pick in a draft that mirrors 2015, and 2003 is a waste of time.

It is a good move. But I think it's equally likely that those picks are used to move up in the draft. Beane really likes to do that.

Players with 20 goal or 40 point potential

Eichel
Sam
Skinner
Mitts
MoJo
Vesey
Olofsson
Sheary
Rodrigues

That’s 9. Obviously I’m sure not all 9 will

We also have a pretty good scoring D, especially when Risto is traded and we sign Jake Gardiner
