Tough to imagine Tage making the roster as RW2
The only way i see him making it is on line3

Which means either MoJo players Center,
or either he or Kahun move up to RW2
Neither are ideal imo

So for Tage to make it, he’d really have to look outstanding in camp/pre-season
So outstanding that it’s worth it to shift MoJo or Kahun to a sports that’s not ideal
Seems pretty unlikely

Goalofsson should play riGhT WiNg

Based on what?
He’s only played there on the PP
Why mess with him after a good rookie season?
Makes more sense to leave him in the position he’s familiar AND successful at

Another swing and miss by you...
shocker

Hopefully we sign VO for 7 years at 4 5

Good post.
Smart organizations recognize talent and extend them before paying top $

Seeing he scored every goal in his career from the right side. When he scores 40 playing RW you’ll be just another victim.

On the PP for sure. He's scored most of his EV/5v5 goals on the left side, some in the slot.

Had one 5v5 goal on the right side this year. 1 at 4v4.

So expect a shorter term deal for him at a high salary. Botts knows what he’s doing. “Trust them, they know moar than us lowly fans”

He might’ve been playing LW, but the goals are scored on the right side. U don’t have some sort of goal location chart that shows it?

1- that’s not even close to true

2- being set up in that spot for 1 timers on the PP is extremely different than actually playing the position


I’m not against trying him there
But to say he should definitely play there & will be a 40goal scorer in that slot is wild speculation at best

Of course they know more about the inner workings of the team than we do

Idk why that’s so controversial of a statement??

The whole thing just kill it with fire.

JV has n Twitter:
“ While I never thought Botterill would lose his job this spring (and he won't), I can say someone from Kim's inner circle decried the fact the GM was running the Sabres like he didn't have a plan & was upset the Pegulas let Botterill go over the cap and had nothing to show for it.”

Of course they know more about the inner workings of the team than we do

Because it’s clear they don’t have a clue?
The fans would have 10000% done a better job at building this team than what has been done for the past 3 years.

That’s utter nonsense

Many fans wanted us to trade for either Kessel or PK Subban (or both) this past offseason
Many LIKED the O’Reilly trade
Many wanted us to go after Erik Karlsson as well

Most fans don’t know wtf they’re talking about

And NONE of the fans, NOT ONE, knows anything at all about the “inner workings” of the team

For ev/5v5 none that i can think of. chartinghockey.ca has shot/goal maps but they're not filtered in anyway

From the highlight reel, most of his non pp goals were from the left side or around the net.

11 of 20 goals scored from the right side by my count
And almost all of his goals scored on the right were on the PP
And it rarely happens 5v5 where u get to just hang out & wait for a 1 timer

He might’ve been playing LW, but the goals are scored on the right side. U don’t have some sort of goal location chart that shows it?
- Hatboro_Swords

Nope

9 of his 20 goals were NOT scored on the right
Pretty far from “every”

But facts never help your arguments anyways

You’ve posted a video where he dekes a guy but isn’t able to complete a scoring play. The game moves too fast for Tage in the NHL

Jason Botterill has done NOTHING to deserve being here... he's actually made the cap situation worse. The team is worse (even with Jack nearing superstar status. Botterill was a bum hire, he should have been fired last year and he should be fired ASAP.

our sole purpose is to win the lottery every year, THAT is the sabres truth.
- gordong

The contaract that was given to Skinner should have sealed Botterills coffin. And I thought it couldnt get worst after having Murray at the helm. For the next 7 years youll be hearing Skinners name everytime there is talk about the worst NHL contracts in the league. Botterill just keeps making hockey decisions that will keep this franchise in the basement for many more years

Tage is actually pretty good. I know a little bit more information than you here.

What in God's name did she mean with that comment?

Why be so cagey? If there's something good going on, wouldn't you share that with the fans considering... ya know... the poopshow going on with the organization

Olofsson was on pace for almost 70 prior to the injury.

Throw Kahun up there for 82 games and I’d be willing to bet he’d get 60 points too.
- Pegullaville

we will probably sign reinhart for 7.5 mil and bury him on the third line in the fall

Games in hand and we very well could have.
- adambuffalo

this franchise is a joke


no excuse for them to under perform this past season

Anyone know what time the cap guru is talking today?

Whether it’s in Buffalo or somewhere else, I think he’ll end up being an NHL player.

You don’t agree, that’s fine.

They sincerely need to hire someone to help them communicate. They're just so bad at it.
