I'm disappointed in the goaltending mostly, although comrie could be good.

Love the young defenseman as a group and individually.
All 7 including bryson and Fitzgerald

Skinner when he scores
Love tage and tuch

I Enjoy Olofsson, girgensons and okposo more than most posters.

Love the mix of young talent peterka, krebs and quinn.

Selke larry asplund could be upgraded
Vinnie deserved a 2nd contract

Pretty much like the team a lot.
Maybe add pk88 πŸ˜‰

How do you enjoy Girgs and want to upgrade Asplund.... very backwards

I appreciate your thoughts...

I really like asplund, but I feel like the Sabres are too soft ( including olofsson)
He's directly competing with peterka and quinn IMO for spots 12 and 13 ahead of your guy bjork.

The lack of spending $ makes sense. We have no stars left. Signing ufas isnt the answer.

Anderson earned another deal
Joker finished strong and power looked comfortable with him. The talender to his Lydman maybe?
Bryson fits this team well. Decent speed and break out ability. Upside for a young guy IMO.

Girgensons is fine at 4C. Brings size and leadership. PK ability and even strength scoring.

59 out of 71 career goals at even strength
78 out of 85 career assists at even strength
137 out of 156 career points at even strength

Almost 88% of girgensons career points at even strength

That's pretty good at even strength

it would be great stats if he only played 3 seasons

he has been in the nhl for 9 seasons

137 even strength points for 9 seasons is anything but great

Just saw Poyer was hurt today at camp. Setting up for another 3ER triumph when next man up comes in to play safety in Mickey D's defense and they don't miss a beat.

Also, I was at TC this past weekend. Gabe Davis is uncoverable. He looks like an absolute beast. Gonna have to go back to the archive and shame who argued with me when I said he was the most talented WR on the roster last summer. My takes are always better than yours. Like they always say, 3ER isn't always right, but aint ever been wrong.

That's why I find you entertaining. People are going to take that post seriously, and I'm pretty sure you were joking. Keep everyone guessing.

I think your underappreciating his leadership and ability to teach the kids along the way.

It's not just the stats with guys like the lion eater.

He does the dirty work, shows up and goes full speed.

Let's see peterka or quinn take his spot, if they bring more to the game. I'm fine with that.

I think it might catch on.

Okposo is 63%, F.
Hayden is 100%, A+.
