trade miller and risto and get two vet stay at home d men to sprinkle in..

you better hope granato doesn't get hired because he is definitely phasing risto out
- robz228

It's about time the 2018 #1 overall pick, phases risto out.

If you remember correctly, I mentioned to you, the ovi match up as well as dahlin getting max minutes.

I want to win. If risto or any other Sabres player is holding them back. He gone.

Wondering if it was the plan all along, especially after hiring Appert for Rochester who followed Granato as HC for the USNP. Move Krueger stank to toilet attendant and move Granato to HC, just happened sooner than expected.

Very scary how much the pegluas liked the stench. Seems clear they wanted him in upper management...

also i would try to have bryson as my 7d next season

he has flashes of offensive brilliance, but i really dont think hes very good

Need some whiskers on that back end.

Why do you say that, he's is a positive even playing with Risto and Miller

Pretty Strange he didn't have it fixed or hear anything about it at the draft

- Buff36

positive in what way? he definitely creates a lot of chances

but in his first 10 games or so he was doing it all, and the defensive side of things are kind of regressing

Being paired with Risto may explain the latter

He's a positive player even playing with Risto and Miller. He's gonna have his growing pains.

This is interesting, someone needed to be disappointed in Bryson. It wouldnt be hockeybuzz.

He is a rookie. What's not to like?

Maybe if he blindly turned over the puck frequently, made big hits taking him out of position and lost for 8 years, you would like him better?

It said he could have played through it and finished the season, Guess the Sabres told him to have the surgery know. Might as well Rochester isn't going anywhere especially with half the team playing here.

I think a partner like Borgen is actually perfect fior Bryson.

im just trying to have tempered expectations instead of just roster planning with him as a 2nd pair d next year

much like granato as a whole, we're seeing him juxtaposed to possibly the most unwatchable era of sabres hockey, and its probably causing him to be overhyped

- Powerslave

I think so too. Bryson is more high event, where as Borgen is low event.

Borgen can cover up for Bryson when he wants to jump into the offence.

They should be our third pair next year. Imo of course

I absolutely agree.

I personally need to see a solid 10 games out of borgen , to consider protecting him over "other" defenseman.

Protecting the future....

I agree, we're all hoping for these prospects to be solid 18 minute guys. (That's what she said)

Bryson is my breakthrough sabre.
Yea, mitts also 🌮, but he was good, not good and now good. Also overhyped and a high pick.

Eh. I don’t know why people don’t think he’s going to improve a little defensively

If they start him as 3LD that’s fine IMO but they for sure need to either buy cheap on an injured McCabe, or acquire a solid LD because Samuelsson won’t be a top 4 now and either us Bryson.
