"my gut says casey is worth a mid second right now"

Just curious why so down on Casey.

Ryan johnson is worth a late 2nd

Casey a former top 10 pick , oft injured, definitely worth a 1st rounder still. Just my opinion.

Johnson is worth a 2 nd to us
He's worth noting to them if he doesn't sign
Correct ?

he most surely did come into camp out of shape a few years ago

don't change my post to fit a narrative as I did not say what year he was out of shape and I was asked why I did not care for him

when a paid sports player comes into camp out of shape it's a big team character flag for me moving forward

Usually when you critique a player its from the previous season not 3 years ago

people grow, as he has.
- TheSabresTaco

I like guys that work hard all the time, not half a$$ it early on


it's great he finally found himself, but cozens and krebs have yet to come into camp out of shape non injury related so I give them the edge long term

I am allowed to have an opinion

It'd be an issue if it was a regular occurrence, He was our best forward coming out of camp/preseason cause he worked his a$$ off in the offseason. Just like he said he would do this offseason.

Although your wife would be happy for a change.

Yes, that's my understanding in regards to Johnson.

I used it as a comparison to mitts value of a mid 2nd.

Pretty similar to compare a top 10 guy and a guy that hasnt played in the nhl

He's got the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader.

His responses should not be surprising.

Your the guy asking me on a date?

That's a tad on the personal type post.


Go about your business, dreaming of PLd, kahun and jankowski, you'll be done in less than 2 minutes

😀😀😀

And just to be clear, I'm not interested because "I can't handle it"

No interest in " handling it"

That’s not how standings work. Lol

One has to finish ahead of the other.

This was ion being noncommittal until he sees more of the off-season

Never said you weren't allowed to have an opinion. That's what we do here. If you don't like the kid, that's fine. If he didn't sign your hat, that's fine too. I don't like lazy players, but I don't believe Casey deserves that label anymore. It's personally why I would like to see a full year out of him and have supported him this entire year. He came into camp ready to (frank) poop up. As long as he keeps that attitude, to me, he's welcome here.

based on kevo's interviews, i'd be shocked if this or a similar scenario unfolded.

Exactly.
The question was who finishes higher next season...in which both teams rosters are going to change after this off season
If you'd question was which team roster from last season do you like more rolling into next season, I'd say the Sabres.

Now, if Adam's does relatively nothing by
-bringing back 6K and Anderson,
-keeping g Joker with Power and
-has Fitz with Bryson
-only adds J and Quinn

And

Stevie Y adds a couple of decent pieces

It's the little diggs that get heated responses.
Poke the bear and play innocent deflection bs

You'll be complaining about personal attacks too.

Of course, after you start it, cry about it and pretend to jokingly deflect it.
