Seems like some writers have a affinity for Kakko/ Trouba to Buffalo

Nah those “writers” just read what we talk about and spin it off. lol.

Ya, I don't think anybody is disputing Skinner had defensive deficiencies and had a down season.
Still, in that down season, he did muster 24 goals.
- IonSabres

Yeah, and playing a lot of top line minutes too. If he's not in your top 6 at 9M, he's a massive detriment.

perhaps they expected a drop in skinners production under ruff and that gap is made up from zucker

I am more concerned who will replace the 8 goals from girgensons

Good post

Gonna miss 28

He is a negative +/- player in his career, and plays sheltered minutes, yet last season he ended up a -2 with 58% CF.
I'm not saying he is even close to being good on the defensive side, nope...but the reports of his death have been greatly.exaggerated.

Also his overall speed and pace. By the end of last year, he was so insanely slow.

I posted a tweet a couple weeks ato about speed bursts and skinner was dead last on the team.

I am a bit more interested in hearing about how Tuch has a "loser mentality". When did this pop up and what was the genesis of said mentality?

Tuch told the team to stop saluting fans after the game where Donny got booed

After a little while. The team after wins saluted the fans but Tuch and greenway continued not to.

During that time. I think during the Sabres 10 day break. Tuch went on a podcast and comped about the fans.

Personally, I think from playing high school and college hockey. That is a loser mentality. Like get over yourself tuch.

some overblown whiny bullpoop from sabre fans cause they came to a consensus to be mad at the fans for booing Donny.

Whiny poop from the players, whiny poop from the org, whiny poop from the fans.

Grow the (frank) up. Be a serious organization and we don't have to listen to this bullpoop.

Helenius is definitely going to get his shot.

My issue is forcing benson, helenius, Kulich and etc in the top 6 already when they aren’t ready for is a bad idea

The order:

Peterka - most probable
Benson
Quinn
Zucker
Greenway
Kulich
McLeod
Helenius - least likely while still being possible, they aren't putting NAK there

IMO

Helenius is definitely going to get his shot.

Do we really think he's that good? It's so rare for players picked in the teens to make the jump immediately, I'd be doubtful lightning struck twice for us in 2 years.

I would.

They have a weird camp with their trip. Think they have to get right business with their roster and not mess around.

Is there really any question JJ is getting that shot?

I doubt there's a chance. Let's face it, Roch was the obvious place for Benson last year, if he could have played there. Helenius can play in Roch or Liiga, both great options.

Should I care as a season ticket holder?

I really don’t care about the players being mad at the fans.

I didn’t chant anything, and I leave immediately after the game, so I wouldn’t notice the lack of acknowledgment to the fans.

Seems childish all away around…..

I blame okposo regardless, he was the captain and they weren’t pulling this without his blessing

Thank you as I thought it was Okposo. I agree. Should we trade him?

- Lunaion

That's what I was thinking. Especially with all the forwards we have. By my count and the lines below, we need to trade Krebs or he's in the press box until there's injuries. Helenius isn't playing 4th line under Lindy, maybe not even bottom6, but the only chance of this is he beats out Krebs and one of these forwards (Greenway most likely) is traded. Additionally, if a hole is opened up, he's still got to beat out Kulich and Rosen, who you'd assume are more prepared for a 3rd line role.
