I sleep like a baby at night, and have zero thoughts of the sabres, bills or any of you f@ckers

I hope Leon wins multiple cups in Edmonton

I hope Mahomes wins multiple SB in Kansas City.

We’ll see if all the Sam and Allen jerkers would still be ok that they didn’t end up with Sam Bennett or Josh Rosen then.

If the Oilers took Eichel over McDavid they would have a poop fit too I’m sure. Or continue to be ok with mediocrity like this board is I’m not sure.

I reject mediocrity!

As such, I demand Edmonton trade Draisaitl for Reinhart immediately. Any other outcome is unacceptable to my sensibilities

I'm so confused as to what the point is with all of this.

Skinner looks very frustrated lately. He is almost invisible on the first PP unit, doesn't appear to be an option at all. Buffalo better find him some consistent line mates before he starts causing an issue. I hope that doesn't happen. Mitts is not the answer. He should be a healthy scratch again. Erod looked like he had some jump with his minutes and Vesey is getting better but also not an answer for Skinner.
Buffalo coaching did a great job of spreading the minutes around last game.

- Tragically Buffalo


Package Skinner and Mitts together and get a 2C

If Buffalo would have drafted Leech or Dampousse in the 86 draft instead of Shawn Anderson with the 5th overall, we would have at least 9 cups

You've been accepting mediocrity too long.

Either you build a time machine to go back to 2014 and slap Murray's peepee until he selects Draisaitl, or you're a quitter

The Sabres’ haven’t drafted well for the majority of 50 years, I don’t see any cup banners up there do you ?

Why is not ok to be mad about our scouting departments futility.

Imagine having Leon riding next to Jack right now and Horvat Centering the 2nd line instead of having Sam and Risto.....

So you agree here points are influenced by teammates, but are actually using points to evaluate players.

How you can’t see the major flaw in this, I’ll never know

- sbroads24


Not every point was created equal, not every goal was either.

Eichel elevated Skinner by 10 points.

Eichel is elevating Olofsson by 15-20.

How many points does Skinner elevate his linemates ?

Eichel is shooting 12% better without him and possess the puck more than any other player in the NHL now that his entire game isn’t crossing the blue line and giving the puck to Skinner and never getting it back.

Every other elite player averages over a PPG but it’s ok for Skinner to generate offence for himself and essentially only himself.

Your boy JB knew Skinner is never going to do that. It's going to be a long 8 years for you, so strap yourself in with velcro shoes

He's also shooting 7% more than his career %. Is that Skinner's fault?

Sam and allen shouldnt be mentioned in the same sentence.

Not the same demographic. Although everyone is starting to like allen. Except tooph9

Allen, picked 7th after wheeling at dealing looks like a leader of men. A captain.

Off the field
: working with children's hospital.

Teammates love him. Exciting guy with size, and ambition. Kinda an underdog at the draft. Works on his craft tirelessly. Riding on 0 coattales with a surrounding cast that's lacking a #1 receiver. He's not being outplayed by a guy picked in the last round of his draft.

and NO ONE should care.

I can't stress enough just how little people should value point totals.

It's so god damn silly.

Are the Sabres better than the opposition when Jeff Skinner is on the ice? Oh it's undoubtedly a yes? Great let's move on

The Bills traded KC the pick to take Mahomes. The Sabres passed on Leon. Both players they had the chance to take and passed on, I feel it’s a warranted comparison.

I like how the "other" Sabres site is college/university compared to our HS because they use archaic stats like +/- to hate Reinhart.

Farmington University maybe

Lamar jackson = pominville

Picked later, nothing handed to him. Had to wait his turn

Allen = reinhart

Picked early. Handed the ball in the first game

the big take people should get from this


they drop skinner to the second line, and olofsson is doing great, eichel and reinhart are on pace for their best seasons yet


now instead of having 3 top 6 players, we have 4
