No.
I included him as he was the last guy on the list I filtered on...top 65 C point producers from last season...from there, I looked at who was moved over the last 4 season just to get a decent sample size.
That's it.

On this team this season and next, yes he could fill in for a year or 2 as a 2C until one of Mitts or Cozens grabs it, or they trade for or sign someone else
Does he make you a Cup Contender, hell no not as a 2C.

Different strategies present themselves depending on who would be acquired to fill the 2C slot until Cozens snatches it ...
- short-term placeholders who then slide down the roster
- long-term solutions who are then traded for help elsewhere


There doesn't need to be one single way, I would strongly prefer the long-term solution myself.

You really think Bonino is a 2nd line center ?

No, but I got drowned out last time I argued against it.

Schwartz should been the head coach of the Bills.
- SABRES 89


I wouldn't have been a fan of that, personally. He bombed in Detroit. Not saying he wouldn't be better here, just the failures of that tenure were too fresh. Also telling that he hasn't been offered a HC position since Detroit.

Rap is not rock........period.
- SABRES 89


What about one of the most popular songs of the 1980s- walk this way by Run DMC featuring Aerosmith?

Brings tha noise? Public enemy and anthrax

Beastie boys licensed to ill?

These guy loved rock music and didn’t see any difference. Beats and riffs were important. Youth culture of the 80s was way influenced by rap and most of the highest rap had rock riffs.

Not by me. I've been advocating for Bonino for weeks now. Good stopgap. Not great, but to get great you have to give up a lot more.

Debut album in '94. Died in '97. Big name in East coast West coast feud leading to many deaths including Tupac.
Would not consider that a Hall of Fame resume.

We can agree to disagree on what will work.

What we can all agree on is that what we have right now is not working and finding a solution, whether we agree or not, is better than sitting back and waiting another year.

- thatsapickle


I do not agree

Botts is building the team slowly
Waiting for dahlin to actually make a difference towards his prime.

We won 2 in a row without our 2nd and 3rd best players and terrible goaltending.
This is the opposite of not working

If hutton was average,we have 5 or 6 more points in my opinion. 0-8-3 since October

With all due respect, your argument is garbage. You hold these logical fallacies and argue them as if they were truths. The fact that only Kadri was moved last year doesn’t meant that other Center trades were not possible. It is simply not true, yet you have been saying for a month or more as if it’s a solid argument.

What facts represent your "opinion" on centers being available?

Your criticism of fitz is an illogical fallacy

illogical fallacies are consistently logical.

What you search for is a logical fallacy.

Bonino is a 2-1/2C ... TOI is about 45 - 60 seconds less than Duchy and Ryjo, although historically his production is lower, it is the exact same as Ryjo this year, their "2C", so I included him as a valid 2C option. The top 65 Center producers from last season formed the list to start from.
I stand by my down and dirty work for a HB post.

- IonSabres


Ok, I’ll put it this way
If Bonino is your 2C, you aren’t contending for a Cup
And i like Bonino
He’s a guy I’d like to see us get- for 3C though
I doubt Nashville would trade him though

I would add that his TOI is nearly identical to Skinner's this year.

Pretty sure Bonino gets lots of PK time

I don't listen to Rap so I wouldn't know any lyrics.
- SABRES 89

First of all it wouldn't matter if you did because all about the benjamins is not a B.I.G. song. It is a Puff Daddy Song. What a doofus (not you.)

Second of all, Ready to Die is one of the best cd's of all time in any genre. GOAT lyricist. Biggie Smalls was the illest. Other styles were played out like Arnold on that what you talkin bout Willis.

Can’t be a long term viable contender if you don’t have a prospect pipeline you’re not pulling from every year either though.
