Looked great on the wing last year.

Looked terrible when forced to move to the pivot this year.

He got a raw deal imo.

Well let him keep rolling here, the better he plays his chip value rises a bit.

Jarmo being Finnish and all, could have Kemell in that spot at 6.

Wait wait wait. You are supposed to sign players after you draft them? Better tell Adam’s thats how it works.

There aren't many better opportunities to stick in the NHL than the Sabres offered this season. He just wasn't good enough.

Seems like Euro UFA's are tweeners most of the time.

It's Hodgson. Not many bonuses on the roster this season, and more than enough cap space to pay them.

22-23-5 with Tuch

17-12-2 with Andy

No Sabre had a higher win percentage in his games played than Anderson

- Hank Balling



Excellent blog Henry, I completely agree with Anderson winning the MVP.

We're picking top 3 without him, same cant be said if tuch , dahlin or tage. IMO

and Tokarski was better than both of them

I don't see a case for Anderson as MVP, but it's an interesting perspective.

did r2d2 sign with a team overseas next year or is it a rumor?

flip side

if tage does not turn the corner this year, there is no great season for tage, tuch and skinner and with no number 1 line, also a bottom 3 pick

He actually reminds me a lot of (selke) Asplund - not a big guy and to the eye he looks like a tweener. I think he could play in this league if he got a chance.
- Slump Buster


Tough spot for r2 , lots of forwards fighting for a few spots with the Sabres.

Seams like a good fit for Arizona

2022 lottery protected 1st
R2
Johnson

For Arizona's 2022 lottery protected.

Basically move from pick 9 to

Pick 3 or 4 (if the Sabres really like a guy)

Pick 1 or 2 would most likely be unavailable (as well as my proposal)

The real MVP isn't a player at all, rather Donnie "The Don" Meatball Granato.
