That's means he is good at hockey.

Would you rather pay guhle to play in Rochester?

- Boss34

I wasn’t evaluating the trade. Just trying to illustrate that the cap space next year can dry up quickly. Sam, Olo, and Montour will all need some pay raises. And there will still be roster vacancies to fill beyond that.

Agreed. He's been terrible since coming back from injury. Prior to that he and Skinner were kickin it
- Michael Pachla

He wasn’t as effective before the injury. It was a good 4-5 games of bad play before that happened.

He’s just not a good center. I like him. Think he’d be a solid winger, but he routinely ruins possessions

I like this post alot.

Why cant we look at sam at center? Was he really that bad the last time he tried at the nhl level?

63- 23 - 90

Let's give it a try

- Boss34


He was pretty ineffectual at center the times he played there but I would toss him out there again to either show he can do it or put this to rest for once and for all. Of course breaking up the top line that is working and putting Jack out with a rookie and whoever just to hold Skinners 10 million dollar hand ( he makes 10 million for the next few years) might not be that smart.

There are a lot of people actually.

One specifically who you posted a tweet from about a week ago. Actually called him the most over rated forward in hockey.

His 10+ mil deal will look sweet after next year

- sbroads24


That I posted? I remember you posted some uncited balderdash that you never cited. Everyone on Twitter has an opinion but if you want to hang your hat on that, run with it LOL.

That could have been his very bright dog wh barked it out. You and Skinners dog would take Skinner over Laine. Ok, then. An opinion is like an ass, everyone has one, even Skinner's dog.

Besides you and his dog, maybe his family, no one else would.
- GilPerreault11



Basically, he's just stubborn. Still wont admit ror is better than " a fine player" or risto doesn't "flat out sucks".

We all cope differently when wrong. He doubles down

I'm excited that balderdash was just used in a response.

Did we trade Risto, McCabe and Bogo the the 'Canes? Toronto has put up 7 on them. Carolina can't seem to get the puck out of their own zone this period.

Need wins from the rest of the league agains t TO, FL, TB, MON if we are going to have a shot

You copy and pasted someone’s tweet (ironically chose not to cite it, I know you’re big on that) about the Sabres goal share with Skinner on and off line 1. And also our special teams goal share %. Ring a bell?

The person who’s tweet you copy and pasted, also would 100% tell you Skinner is the better player.

But I’m sure his opinion only matters for your narrative

So now you're comparing him to those two?
- Michael Pachla

winger playing center

struggled after 12 games


you can't plug a winger as a center, history shows it never works long term

I always cite from somewhere where I got it, then you came up with a quote from somewhere and I said great what is your source? I wouldn't have if I didn't cite mine, which I did. I remember it well and you never did. I just cited his stats from NHL.com at the time that pissed the Hell out of you so you had to find a negative quote about him but never said where it was from it could have been from a message board. He had a lot assists which were counter to your one trick pony narrative and how he was out assisting our cerebral player Reinhart.

In bobsledding?

Because the best available player at #7 in last year's NHL draft, Dylan Cozens, will be taking it home for the Country of Canada, in hockey.

In all honesty, I love that I live in your head so much that you keep score on what I’m right or wrong about.

You know what I remember about your opinions? Nothing

Just to piss everyone off..

Reinhart, Pilut, Tage, 2020 1st
For Larkin

Mitts, Risto, 2021 2nd
For Tuch

Miller, Vesey w/ hold $1.4
For Kapanen

Olofsson - Eichel - Tuch
Skinner - Larkin - Kapanen/Mojo
Mojo/Sheary - Asplund - Sheary/Kapanen
Gurgs - Larson - Okposo

Dahlin - Montour
Scandella - Jokiharju
McCabe - Borgen

Next season, sign Shattenkirk for 2 - 3 seasons to play 1RhD like he is in Tampa next to Hedman.
Don't resign Scandella? Fine, find one in FA.or try Gilmour

- IonSabres


Scandella is better than Shattenkirk and would be cheaper. The odds of getting Kapanen are zero.

Hey Einstein, you are the one who started this tit for tat about remembering what I SAID. I guess you are projecting about me living in your mind.
