ralph had an angry look once, turned out he thought he had to rip a fart and got a juicy surprise

it's three games
- homiedclown

It was only a couple preseason games and 15 games in the AHL, where he "severely struggled". This goes both ways, too.

He was also very vocal after the Stammer hit on Cozens and Anderson being shoved to the ice

I have yet to see Perfetti or Rossi be a hit yet you say they've shown they'll be for sure centers in the big league

Yeah, like I said I'm ok with having an opinion on it. Because I will have an opinion on it. I think (opinion) that those 3 will have good/great careers in the NHL at center (Lundell already is proving to). Better than Quinn. Doesn't mean he can't have a good career. Question, do you want the best players to play for Buffalo? I could care less about the actual names. Because I want the best players Buffalo can possibly get.

Fun stuff, know if Skinner can become a 20 goal scorer we could have something.

I will be happy when he sustains success in the nhl


seen a lot of prospects thrive in ahl over longer periods and then struggle in nhl


look at how long it took tage to be functional

They have a coach with a pulse for the first time since Ted Nolan

No Bylsma whiteboard
No Housley gum chewing
No Ralph smirking

Granato actually yelled yesterday. Imagine that

I could care less who plays here. I'll stand by my guys no matter the cost.

There is only one trophy that matters in this league. Everything else is for show.

he was a better player in rochester then quinn at this point

In Quinn's second season in the AHL he has half as many goals in 10x less games


so I disagree


Well see where were standing at the end of the year though

I just don’t wanna read the “I was told he sucks” posts after AHL goals

He’s a top 10 pick who’s 20 years old. He should be dominating in the A if we’re to have any hopes he’s a top line player

Him scoring a ton there should be expected

I wonder if Jets fans are female doggin about Cole Perfetti like this

Can we think of him as a 19yr old whose development took a hit for about a year of his career.

Untouchable Trevor Zegras has 1 point in 6 games

He's no Joe Montaniya!!

Drew Stafford had a solid career.

It’s not a slant. Stafford was a 25 per 82 goal guy for a good 8-9 years in the league.

close...i've got 21g/82 games in his time in buffalo and one partial season in wpg...

that said i don't have a much of a problem with that either

So I came across an article from a Calgary web site blogger C of Red unfiltered and they proposed a couple of trade options for Eichel, some that involved a 3rd team.

Trade #1

To Calgary: Eichel
To NYR: Sean Monahan, CGY 3rd rd pick (23), BUF 2nd rd pick (23)
To Buffalo: Kravtzov, Ryan Strome, Nikita Zadorov, Connor Zary, CGY 1st (22), 2nd (22)

Trade #2

To Buffalo: Jake Debrusk, Jakob Pelletier, Connor Zary, Jusso Valimaki and CGY 1st (22)

To Boston: Sean Monahan and BUF 3rd rd (22)

To Calgary: Eichel

Trade #3

To Boston: Sean Monahan

To Calgary: Jake DeBrusk and John Moore

Calgary then flips DeBrusk and Moore, as well as Zadorov, Zary and Matthew Coronato and a 22 1st to Buffalo for Eichel

Trade 4

To Calgary: Eichel

To NYR: Monahan, Rory Kerins BUF 2nd rd (23)

To Buffalo: Kravtzov, Ryan Strome, Dillon Dube, Zary CGY 1st (22) and 3rd (23)

Trade 5

To Calgary: Eichel

To Buffalo: Monahan, Zadorov, Zary, Pelletier, Valmaki and CGY 1st (22)

Getting Zary and Dube will look good for the Sabres future and they can always flip Strome and Kravtsov at the deadline if they wish. So I like trade #4.

Very true!!

"The Sabres were badly outplayed in the first half of the game before presenting the Lightning with a reverse UNO card midway through the second period."

One of the best lines I've ever read on any sports site. More of that dank from Hank please.
