And, it would be nice if we could get more than 10 - 12 minutes of crap a night from our 28 year old veteran defenseman. He's really hurting that D core right now.

Johnson could be a 6 7 for us. If not....geesh.

Boy, I think that's a stretch but I'll differ to you as I only got a couple chances to see him this year. I thought he still looked pretty raw.

Should be a major fine, fans aren't allowed to smoke in the stands.

While I'd like to agree on principal, he smuggled that poop in just like thousands of fans do. I wouldn't want a fan getting a fine for being caught vaping on camera.

Agreed. We need to find him a stable partner so she can make mistakes and not suffer every time he does

Should Adams consider trading him for a RD and a Top 6 forward?

Makes sense. And I'm sure they want to do right by him rather than waive him to Rochester.

They might need to retain half of his $1.7m to do it
- Hank Balling

Makes you wonder why they gave him 1.7 in the first place.

When they signed him, KA told us they were confident with Girgs at 4C. Being nice causes them to make some dumb decisions.

Except hes not a fan. Hes the head coach.

This has been going on for months.

I don’t recall who said it, but certain people seem to be able to torpedo this blog all the time.

Joe Burrow will have a feast with our defense.

With the way the secondary defends...Absolutely... blame the coaches on this

Baller - excellent write up as always 🙂

My buddy who's a huge amerks/ sabres fan texted a link to your blog. He's really on top of the prospects.

I mentioned that I'm here frequently 😉

Just my theory still on defense and pairing power up with a trade/free agent.

Why spend a ton on a guy that should eventually carry his partner?

Sabres will buy a defenseman, that's why we're light on defense prospects .

How many do you need when 3 guys play 75-80 minutes?

That was their big forward add. Re-sign a guy who shot over expected last year and act surprised he can’t score and you can’t move him.

HC Job

It's a patchwork back there. Tre' still isn't himself. Rookie on the other side, 3rd starting Safety and Poyer is playing with a bad elbow and Knee.

If the Bill's lose this week , they should fire everyone.

So pegula would need a new gm as well.

What has he really done anyways for the Bills?

13 seconds was Beane's fault
22 points vs houston Beane's fault as well

HC Job

I honestly dont see him getting one, seems the gigs go to young offensive minded guys

I'm worried about Power's confidence. I don't want him to start looking at box scores and seeing bunch of dash somethings every night.

You really think this is a professional ice-hockey player’s psyche?

I think Reich and Peyton def get 2 of the jobs this offseason

No way he lands a HC job. Unless he wants to be Lovie Smith’d like down in Houston.

Yes, I absolutely do. Don Granto has said a bazillion times Dahlin's confidence was totally shattered as a player when he came in. Part of rebuilding it was him signing Dahlin's praises and getting the media to back off him.

I think it's all pretty interconnected.

I'd say going from -31 to +14 currently seems relevant for dahlin

Dahlin’s confidence was shattered by his terrible coaches, toxic work environment and horrible captain, not by being played too much or having a minus stat.
