I will guarantee you one thing. When the Sabres make the playoffs he probably won't be around but for sure he won't be around if they want the cup. His style of play won't help in any playoff run. Someone has it right. You or Don Waddell. I'll go with a winning GM on this one.
- Freddie krug

Way it’s going a bunch of these players won't be here!

Kessel played on the third line.

Skinner plays on your first and gets PP1 time.

Huge difference
- Swedish_Jesus

Kessel had 36g 89a on the PP in 4 years on the pens

He wasn't a 3rd liner there and he surely played alot of 1PP

lol

Power is definitely a phenom, but not living up to 1OA status imo

Super soft
- Boss34

Soft GM, soft coach. soft team. What do you expect? You know Donnie isn't asking anyone to finish a check.

Robinson is big and is an excellent skater to get in on the forecheck, but he doesn’t want anything to do with the rough stuff. This year he fell out of favor with the Blue Jackets and wound up being waived and sent to the Cleveland Monsters. In seven games with Columbus he had one goal and one point. In nine games with Cleveland the 6'2, 205 pound winger had one goal and three assists for four points.


Another soft player


Per Paul Hamilton.

They had to fit a 4th standard deviation on his RAPM chart to show how terrible he is defensively.

Does he produce offence ? Yes.

Is he the worst defensive forward in hockey ? If he isn’t, he’s not far off.

What’s that worth to you ?
- Swedish_Jesus

It wasn't a problem last year when they scored in bunches was it?

This team isn't deep enough that is the singular problem. You're making things up about Phil Kessel in an attempt to prove your point but this team is not good enough to succeed with or without him

When the top line ripped up the league last year it wasn't the reason they missed the playoffs either

Who is this scrub?

Columbus Blue Jackets trade winger Eric Robinson to Buffalo Sabres

a guy Torts liked , he's okay on line 4.
- Columbus blogger

whatever... This team isn't serious about winning.

Are you sure ? this has playoffs and maybe Stanley Cup written all over it.

His 5v5 scoring suggests otherwise

But no he probably won't be around because our GM is fearlessly incompetent
- ieetbred

Is that playoff stats?

When the sabres are healthy will they waive robinson?

Unless they waive Bryson and sit Clifton or ej

Who am I kidding it will be RJ to Rochester

The GM chose this

I'm done with any positivity until they do something worthwhile.

Trade Condition: #CBJ will only receive the pick if Eric Robinson plays 45 NHL games this season.

So we have traded for yet another Girgensons with less 2 goals and maybe can skate over the blue line without falling down. Brilliant.
- SABRES 89

I want to know how adams sells these ideas of his to pegula. Bringing on what appears to be another overpaid 4th line tweener

Holy (frank) all this money tied up in 4th line/bottom pair/13th 14th forwards and 7th 8th dmen and it is mostly worthless

It doesn't even seem real

If I was a gambling man under 45 looks pretty damn easy

Benson doesn’t come across as soft at all, despite being 18 and very small by nhl standards

Same gm, coach and soft team as power puff

Dudes a soft giant

If I was a gambling man under 45 looks pretty damn easy
- ieetbred

So basically don’t count on him being a full-time NHL player for the Buffalo Sabres.

What a trade Kevin Adams well done

There is a massive difference in acquiring a guy like this, and actually spending some assets to get a top six player a.k.a. Timo Meier that has some jam.
- ImThatGuy

Timo Meir is what you consider a power forward….. not grit. Wrong type of player

Top line still got caved in defensively last year too.

Robinson is big and is an excellent skater to get in on the forecheck, but he doesn’t want anything to do with the rough stuff. This year he fell out of favor with the Blue Jackets and wound up being waived and sent to the Cleveland Monsters. In seven games with Columbus he had one goal and one point.

Do you think Robinson is more than a short term injury plug?

Oh man, that's a great cover. Not sure. Hbu?

I don't think Jost or Stillman were more than plugs. See how he works out.

So basically don’t count on him being a full-time NHL player for the Buffalo Sabres.

I dont see who sits for him when we are healthy

Ok and some say tage was playing selke level defense this year before he was hurt

Missed by 1 point and skinner wasnt and will not be the reason this team continues to fail
