The L. O. G. line neatrulized the other teams top lines at times from what I remember?

They sucked under housley
They were good under ralph

How much cheaper are you going to find that's a 7 year nhl vet? 2.2 million is a good deal for Buffalo with the buffatax included.

Please stop, Girgensons and Larsson should have been gone 2 years ago. It's the same crap year after year with this team, they don't try and get better they just keep making excuses. Changes need to be made with this roster and you have a chance with a good young player in Kahun and you bring back this trash can player.

Zemgus and his 8 or 9 goals is like many people I work with. He runs around all over the place and looks like he's doing a lot, but he accomplishes virtually nothing.

Some of your co workers sound like they have plenty of heart, but can't quite understand the task at hand?

They probably show up early, and appreciate their jobs.

They understand what's expected and they probably come to work- ready to work, for a fair wage.

Something wacky going on there Stripes
- Buff36

He’s what we all hoped Vesey would be. A good middle 6 forward.

I’ll give them the weekend but even if they do something big they should have qualified him and worked out a trade later.

So people can appreciate their jobs, be bad at it and stick around well past their welcome and even get raises??? Sign me up for that.

They can still pull something off. It’s still not enough... but like you’ve said, he’s still working the phone and trying to lube the deals... let’s see where we are come Sunday...

Currently...

Olofsson. Jack. Samson
Skinner. Staal. (Tage)
grigs. Mitts. Cozens. (Woof!)
AHL Larry. Lazer Larry. Concussed Larry.

Dahlin. Miler
Monte. Risto. (Woof)
McCabe. Joker.
Borgen

Ullmark
Hutton.
- Gr8daygo

Think we have a new goalie and atleast 1 new forward, maybe 2.

Nice, game 5 with the machine on the mound

Sheary and erod = a good young player

That doesn't make sense, there's a reason that trade happened. Botts knew he would have to overpay him to remain a Sabre. Pittsburgh wasnt paying him, so they moved him. Everyone understood the pending arbitration situation.

He has a "value" and kagm is playing cards with the contract. Good for him. Stop overpaying mediocre soft talent.

Form an identity with either high end talent or man to man toughness. Clearly we lack high end talent other than a few guys. Jack, dahlin, skins . Hopefully cozens.

They are “soft” because they are out of the playoff races by December and don’t give a (frank) anymore.

No one thought we were soft when we went 8-1-1 to start the season

Let's be realistic, girgs is the low end minimum wage type guy greeting people at the door.

Eichel is management.

Reliable guy for $580,000 less than the average nhl salary for a guy slightly above average. Good penalty killer.

He’s getting paid $2.2 million...that is too much for a 4th liner who has issues staying on his feet

You keep saying this but I don’t think you understand what it means in 2020 hockey talk
- Stripes77

Soft - not physically dominated by the opponent on a nightly basis. Someone who the other team is not worried about if it gets rough on the ice.
-someone that can play in front of the net , instead of using risto on the pp in the paint.

-someone (Casey nelson) that let's Colorado basically try and kill the franchise. Zadarov ran eichel, then eichel felt compelled to cheap shot the avs. Got suspended

Girgensosn has no value, he's worthless.
- SABRES 89

I can't believe what the Sabres are doing. New GM, same old BS. Not signing low cost, young and better Kahun but signing Girgs 3 years X $2.2 million. WTF?!!!!!! And how could they pass on both Perfetti and Rossi.

The Pegula's are a joke. Adams is a joke. The organization is a joke. We need new ownership, a real President/GM and a good scouting department.

For 50 years i have supported this team. Why?

8.2 mill between him and Okposo, just wait until they give Larsson 3 mill a year.

We have been soft and terrible for a decade.

Coincidence? Maybe?

Correlation? Maybe?

I would think you would want to try something different, before you give up your sabreship over kahun type business decisions.

Ken Jeong's wife is named Tran Ho


ouch

You realize they are dominated not because of physicality, but because they can’t control the puck and Don’t have enough skill.

Agree to disagree.

I think it's a fair contract for a fair player .

you pay Kahun all day long over Girgensons.

Perhaps ask Ratsreign what it felt like watching Marchessault, Smith, and Gallant play in the Cup final not even 12 months later.
- Pegullaville

Pretty much like this,
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw5pmDgWMaU

Gallant clashed with the new GMs. Smith struggled scoring that year, especially while the big dogs were out injured (while Marshy kinda seized the stage). Gallant’s replacement publicly scapegoated Smith a couple of times. Not too sure that Smith handled it like a “good soldier”. I still think it’s possible that the owner might have wanted Smith gone, and his sub-par season made him look like he was still the up&down Smith, only now w/a fat extension about to kick in. Still don’t get sending Marshy with him.

So trade
Dahlin for Oleksiak
Eichel TO for Tuch and Reeves
Reinhart for Maroon.

They would never get out roughed again.

- Stripes77

It means being really tough to play against, being diligent on the puck, tough on the boards and the corners for the puck and taking the body to get the puck and that is who they seem to want more of.

You realize they are dominated not because of physicality, but because they can’t control the puck and Don’t have enough skill.
- ImThatGuy

Its both guy.

Its boring hockey to suck and get our asses kicked especially at home.

Soft losers
