Saw someone posted lamenting about the Sabres not being able to sign Mason Marchment as a free agent when he was available.

His numbers this season look good, but last season? Yuck.

The point: Don't be a prisoner of the moment when it comes to assessing the quality of a player.

Interesting timing for Evolving Wild to post this after the Dahlin discourse today but the analytics show his defensive game has regressed a bit this year but the drop in offence is some horsepoop luck if I have ever seen it.

At $11m next season, it becomes ... Figure it out and just get it done.

The team wilted this season under the pressure of playoff expectations... Wait til next season... Oh boy

Go get a Bulldozer that won't put up with the Sh!t and will bust some Chops instead of handing out Milk and Cookies and holding there hand telling them "Will Get Them Next Game"

F@ck this Participation Trophy Sh!t!

No no, they good.
For Example...
Who would want a power forward who throws 300 hits, scores ~80 Pts, wears a C, and is 24 yo.
That guy sucks and no place in this lineup

You can see the strategies of the Defensive Game starting to click, they still need to adjust there backend a bit. Someone should have been there with that Wide Open Chaffee making him piss Blood this morning.
And people complaining that it took away Offense IMO are somewhat wrong. It's more the regression of some of the players not scoring. And being Pu$$is and not going to the hard areas. That 80pt player would thrive there on the Sabres

Friedman is saying Nick Jensen could be available, not the shinniest toy but wouldn't be a bad partner for Power.

We really didn't deserve to win that game. Donny benching Krebs and putting Robinson up a line was distasteful. But his line management was even worse. Being that we aren't making the playoffs, I was hoping they'd lose that game, if for no other reason that to stop enabling Donny with this bullpoop.

They play different positions, it was distasteful not keeping Krebs with Benson and Peterka for a bit more. I know the points weren't there but they were driving play.

“We’ve talked,” Okposo said, referring to his conversations with Adams about the deadline. “I know where he stands, he knows where I stand, and I’ll leave it at that. We’re definitely on the same page and we’ll see what the next week brings us.”

Glad to hear they are on the same page now hopefully they will be on the same bus.

Krebs can shift to wing, same as Mitts, Cozens, Tage, Girgs. He refuses to try anything new with Krebs and, as you say, even if he's on a line that's driving play and producing chances, he gets swept aside for these washed up has beens.

I'm so done watching Okposo try to play hockey. At this point, I hope Donny gets fired and Okposo gets resigned just so I can watch the new coach strip the C off his sweater.

I am not trying to take anything away from Krebs and think he deserves a bit better. But once they brought back who they did kinda screwed up line combos IMO. Some players playing higher than they should because of it and hurting chances for other players. This whole thing of not blocking players was BULLSH!T from the beginning.

UPL is obviously playing well and the main reason we're winning these games. If Levi is here next year(which we all expect) does UPL keep the #1 job for job performance? If so will Levi get enough work to develop? Thoughts?

I would let Levi cook down there for atleast another half a year. Bring in a steady 1B and see where it goes.

Nail on the head.

And wasn't anything about you, I'm just pissed that Meatfemale dog gets paid in bundles to pull this nonsense.

Personally, I think Levi is going to take the starting job from him pretty quickly. UPL has been playing great, and if we play our cards right I think he can be a perfect 1B. But Levi is one of the most talented young goalies I've ever seen.

and Dahlin was the next Bobby Orr

Eichel was the Savior

Tage is a top 10 center in the league...

Power is a unicorn....

Sabres should be all over the Hurricanes for Necas.

The Sabres handling of this is going to be critical. Which sucks because that flop on handling most critical situations.
