No, not really. I just think he's a solid 4-5 personally, which is better than the replacement level guys he was mixed with.

a solid 5 guy for the sabres would be in the press box for the knights or panthers during the finals

He wasn't a liability the prior 3 playoffs. Had a bad giveaway in game 2 that got him benched and then a giveaway in game 6 to Matthew T for the tying goal.

If he cleans up the decision making behind the hash's he'll be fine.

Vegas agreed, I'd argue about the Cats. I think I like him more than the group it seems. Overly optimistic seems to be my new modus operandi.

Seems to me the way the Sabres built there D there gonna spread the minutes out. I will bet you see Dahlin play with everyone as will Power and probably Samuelsson. They will make minutes up between the 3 above until they see what Clifton can and can't handle minute wise IMO of course.

Orlov went Brian Campbell mode at 31 for a solid stretch of games.

Always room for improvement.

Gudas was the 5 guy for the panthers


Mahura was their 6th guy

I could see the 6th guy going either way

I agree, I think we see quite a bit of movement in-game between the likes of Joki and Clifton moving up and down the lineup depending on the team/deployment.

I have no idea if this is accurate (it was 15 years ago) but apparently Spacek was elite

.44ppg on WSH
.74 on the Bruins

major uptick with the same TOI.

At 30 he produced his highest career totals prior to this season.

23+7 is not a tiny sample. Especially when its the most important games of the season.

I mean he is what he is at this point? Near .75ppg guy right?

pretty damn consistent to anyone outside of a sabres chat room



also pretty sure you wanted no part of him or Gustafsson when I thought we should throw darts to try to get one of those at the deadline
