The only evaluation should be, do we throw him in the minors or put him on waivers for a day and let him clear and then go to the minors

Saw enough Bryson + Fitz to move on after last year. They just like to wait as long as humanly possible to make decisions.

Have to evaluate Bryson for another year before we can jump to any conclusions.

Maybe we can dangle him for “future considerations” for 3 months first like with Hino

We had opportunities to clear it so the blame is not all Bryson but as usual he is unable to bail anybody out and make a capable play by a NHL defenseman.

He's also signed for next year.

So that's fun.

A good goalie makes up for defensive lapses.

The Sabres need a good goalie.

Or a team that knows they have a young goalie plays better defense in front of them

Cuz there’s practically nothing in the pipeline on the blue line. We’re so forward heavy prospect-wise. I wanted to take one with last year’s 2nd.

So it’s always the defense fault never the goalies fault but yet I just watched a goalie make unbelievable saves on goals if they were scored against the Sabres we would blame it on the Sabres defense and not the goalie….

31 shots. Many high danger, good goalies makes saves they “arnt supposed to”.

Maybe? I think the choice was between Pysyk and Bryson and they chose the youthful upside of Bryson.

His fancy stats have regressed each of the past three years. The +/- speaks for itself

He's cratering offensively this year.

I am not saying that, but come on. Both those goals were basically tap ins with guys skating open.

Did Boss go to the game, better start rubbing that Girgensons Bobblehead a little harder. Maybe he can give Girgensons some luck.
