They both have both been coaching ? Do you just like trashing Terry and Kim and not looking up facts?

There's no reason they can't work. It's not a fair take.

It's just embarrassingly cheap.

- TheSabresTaco

if you kept rochester in tact, and added mair it makes sense


to flip the table, and decide your going to promote the salt shaker and discard everything else, makes no sense

you blow up rochester and scouting department because you are not happy with progression


yet you bring mair into the mix, who's job the last five seasons was a player development coach with the Buffalo Sabres


talk about mixed signals



but go on

- navinrjohnson


Cool they're building a Culture that is surrounded by winning and they brought in guys that have worked closely with prospects and translating them To have an NHL careers

but go on

Take a look at some of the baseline analytics.

Sutter, for what you need him for, is significantly worse than Larsson.

- TheSabresTaco

I do not care about analytics

larrson is not a point producer

sutter does get points

I have to work today, no time for a pissing contest


it's another cheap hire, and promotion of a guy that clearly didn't produce

if he produced, and it was not a cheap hire, they would not have blown up the rochester staff that turned a bottom feeder into a consistent winning team in the AHL

- navinrjohnson


I think my definition and your definition of "a better player" is different. They're both "defensive" centers, so I value their defensive ability. You value points for two guys who hardly score them. That's fine. But for what Sutter gives you at his price vs Larsson at his? It's a no brainier to me. Larsson is exceptionally better, at the role they both play.

Larsson doesn’t allow points to be scored

Sutter’s defensive game makes the additional offensive output he generates moot.

Why is this so hard.

Defence matters

We already have Laine though ?

He's going to want 10+ also

- GERBE!!!75PTS


No we dont. VO is 1/5th of what Laine is.

Laine is an elite level scoring winger.

Laine is elite at scoring but 10+ is to much

VO is only going to cost 3.4 -4 for 5 years and will likely have 30- 40 goal years

I don’t know about you but if we walked out of the draft with Lucas Raymond I’d $hit a brick.
- Pegullaville

Not as high on Raymond as some, but he would be a good get.

“Eric’s always a positive influence on guys, but sometimes change is good for us. This is part of it,” Guerin said. “We need to mix things up, we need to find a different pathway to success. And that’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to build a better team and sometimes you have to take some drastic measures.

“If I don’t make moves, nothing will happen. We’ll just stay the same, and that’s not the idea.”

- TheSabresTaco


Exactly what I have said the last couple of years...why keep on bringing back the same people outside of the "core" ex. girgensons, Risto etc.

I always quote Martin Hall
"If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting. Make the effort, make the change, it's worth it"
