We are Dallas East. With a good goalie we are in a playoff spot. I have posted a countless amount of stats in the last 10 pages that support that argument.

If you choose to have a negative mindset, I can’t help with that.

I never once said we don’t need to add an elite offensive talent. Why do you think I’m happy about us being in a position to select another offensive weapon in the first round this year ?

We are two moves away from being a playoff team, whether or not Botts can do it is another story.

Sign a 1A goalie
Trade Risto+ for a 2C

SO a team that is 25th in the league is 2 moves away?

are we sure this time?

Can you provide data to show how they change the losing culture in the organization?

NHL average save percentage is .909 this year

Ullmark is .914

He did his part, Hutton just sucked ass in the majority of his 22 games. Regardless, that wasnt the critical difference this year. Scoring was.

I think Hutton's pooptiness had a hand in where we are, sure scoring is a problem, but Hutton probably left 8pts of the board for us.

No doubt

8-9-4 with a .897 or something. That's awful.

But Ullmark's save percentage was better than league average and he was only 16-14-3. The discrepancy between an above average sv% and a below average w/l record indicates to me that the problem was elsewhere

I agree, there are other problems, but take into account Hutton's struggles those points put us 2pts out of a playoff spot

They'll just to have to make it before the deadline.

If they start now, the Sabres could cobble together a deal for next year’s TDL, if that’s what is needed.

Hire people with the same ideals as the Bills. Flush out at least 70% of the current staff personnel.

It’s a sad state of affairs when the “exciting news” for my team at the trade deadline is praying that when I check I see that Bogo,Sheary, Erod, Miller are dealt for 4th rounders.

Nice to see Colin Miller playing better past 2 months. Ralph seems to be reverting him back to his situational play that let him succeed in Vegas.

Send ERod to Edmonton for Puljujarvi. He could immediately fill in for McDavid while he's out 2-3 weeks.
