Michael Pachla: Impressions of, and questions concerning--F, Evan Rodrigues

First. Like Erod. Because he's fast.

Would a 3 yr./$3 million deal be too far-fetched?

DO IT

Michael Pachla: Impressions of, and questions concerning--F, Evan Rodrigues
- Michael Pachla

Rodrigues has been Buffalo's Swiss-army knife, or a Jack of all trades, or utility forward up front, but whatever way you cut it he's played his role admirably under two coaches. In his first full season with the Sabres, Rodrigues has nearly doubled the number of career games played while nearly doubling his career production as well and he continued an upward trend in average time on ice.

Let's shut this down after this wonderful comment you made, Michael. No one needs to criticize my boy. He is the speeeeeed

Even firmlier on the Sheldon Keefe bandwagon.

Was erod the only player on the sabres to score a PP goal, a shorty, and even strength?

I believe so

For all the hate they continually recieved...


Erod Larsson Girgs was a legit 4th line. They got broken up after the streak and never had a real opportunity to get back together, but during that streak they were absolutely lights out.

All three were great on the PK as well.

nice work

Spector has reports that PK Subban may be available. Now that is something I would look into. $9m for 3 more years. What would it take to get him? They are looking for forward help.

Erod?

Unfortunately I am wrong. He had 2 short handed assists, but no goals

Call it a gut feeling, but I think this is their splash this summer. Something around Ristolainen+ and a bad contract going there way.

Letang made sense for several reasons but I think the NTC is a hold up.

Dahlin-Subban has the twin virtue of making the team better and selling a poop ton of tickets.

The 3 on 3 potential alone is nuts.

No. Only shorthanded goals were by Bogo, McCabe and Larsson.

Still don't think Letang should be an option. Too old and cost would be too much. Only way I would do it is if they took KO.

Yeah, I updated that. He assisted on 2 of those. I thought he potted one

I don't disagree, but Im working from the assumption that you either get him at a discounted rate or they take money back

This is the same team that signed Jack Johnson and traded for Erik Gudbranson. If Letang would waive, you could probably fleece them.

He’s an old used up coot

ERod is a 3 / 4 tweener.
At $0.665 he was a complete steel. At $3m he is overpaid.
I'd be more likely to go on a short-term deal at $1.5 - $2.0m.

Rather than pay him for his assumed growth leads him to, let's pay him for what he has done.
And rather than have him play 3rd, put him on the 4th where he can excel.

The 4th line with Girgs and Larry flipped the ice nicely. But 13 goals between them just isn't good enough. Let those two walk along with dumping Sobotka
4th of Smith, ERod, Okpiso could reel some havoc and up the production as well.

I like his track record too, but what is it that is pushing g you towards him?

Submitting without comment.

Letang was also +9.5 EV GAR. That puts him 2nd behind Eichel's 11.8

Ristolainen is Jim Rutherford's wet dream.
