Just playing devil’s advocate here, but is it possible that the biggest thing Granato did to improve all of their development outlooks was simply just to let them play?
- Ratsreign


It certainly helped, but their points per game exploded as well.

Casey Mittelstadt under Krueger – 13 GP, 1-4-5, minus-11, 13:20.

Mittelstadt under Granato – 28 GP, 9-8-17, minus-3, 17:04.

Tage Thompson under Krueger – 13 GP, 1-1-2, minus-4, 12:56.

Thompson under Granato – 25 GP, 7-5-12, minus-2, 14:22.

Rasmus Asplund under Krueger – 5 GP, 1-0-1, plus-1, 11:40.

Asplund under Granato – 23 GP, 6-4-10, even, 13:07.

He does. It also should be noted that ralph was historically bad at coaching the hockey so the bar was set very very low
- Michael Pachla


One last thing from me on the Torts idea -

If they're keeping Eichel and Reinhart then I get the Torts idea more. If they're not, just keep Granato

Skinner on whether he would waive his NTC so the Sabres could protect someone else

Nothing beats expecting a call from a local area business, having the phone ring with a 716 area code, and falling for it. Another extended warranty call. Shame on me.
- buffalofan19


I can't recall the last time I actually answered a call where I didn't recognize the number. It's been years. Same when someone rings the doorbell or knocks on the door. Haven't answered that in years either. Don't care who it is.

That's usually the case with me. Problem is, I am expecting this call.

Yeah, I don't have posting permission. I'm hopeful that's coming

And Sam after Risto, 10:30.

Risto is indifferent. Not up for a rebuild. If they make a push for playoffs great. If Adams trades him, he’s fine too...

I think that's really code for "I'd really like to leave", and I don't blame him. Both sides need a divorce.

Yikes.

Me Thinks Reinhart is a goner.

Wouldn't answer if he wants to be here.

From what I can tell
Risto
Skinner
Rinhart

All don't want to be here.

I assume the Eichel PC will be more of the same.

Might as well just blow it up at this point.

Thats a tough sell.

They are not goog trade partenrs, IMO.

Boesser and Horvat i assume are untouchable.

So what Virtanen and picks/prospects?
