They will absolutely grind him to be more defensive. He won't be back until his two way game is much refined.

I'm not saying it's bad for him to become more defensively sound, but getting the productivity makes it easier for Casey to be receptive to learning again. When the thing you're good at goes wrong, it's hard to focus on anything else.

Shoulda gave him the Necas treatment.

"Yeah, you have the talent to play at the NHL level, but you're going to the AHL for a year and you're going to play all three forward positions. Once you start to dominate there, then we'll bring you up and put you on the wing until you're ready to carry the defensive load that C requires."

- BINGO!


Realistically, he should have gone back to college to dominate there. Then come up to the A. Follow a real development path, rather than rushing him into a position he wasn't ready for.

It's odd to me that Botts and Sexton are all about developing young players but forced Mitts in the NHL too early. You're right, he should have stayed in college.

I would trade ERod for the last pick in the 2025 draft. I would then send Bogo to Niagara Community College and have him take communications/broadcasting classes so he can perfect his DJ skills at the dingus day ball at the Polish Falcons in Depew.

not being Polish might not allow him to understand the hugeness of this thus making him fail miserably.

We'll have to send him to Potts Deli for Polka night for his training.

Same. Once his confidence returns and he's comfortable playing his game and hockey in general, I think people will see that his 2 way game improves as well. Tage has experiences a similar developmental curve.

It's good for both of them, and hopefully the Sabres reap the benefits from it. It would go a long way in helping the depth on this team.

So the Sabres are 7 points back with a game in hand on the Flyers.

If we don’t take at least 6 out of the next possible 8 points then the tank commander will begin recruiting.

If they can remain 4-6 points out by the all star break the schedule does produce a lot of winnable games between the last week of January through February.

When a shoe fits, I'll wear it.

how bout you?

- Der Kaiser


Depends on style and color. I'm currently looking for a casual shoe to wear with grey, blue, black shorts for down here...canvas rather than leather.

So sure.
I'm critical of the Sabres, they have certainly earned it over the last 10 years.
