As I’m watching this game. I might be changing my tune on wanting to play the ravens

Derrick henry looks dead right now.
- Sabretooth9

Henry was also pouting on the sidelines.

Then stop pouting like a little cu** and score.

He should be able to score on a line with Eakin/Lazar as his Center and Cozens on the RW

Put up or shut up.

Kessel was on the Penguins third line and it worked out well for them.
- Pegullaville

One small note is many believe the line will be Lazar and Sheahan, not Cozens, because veterans or something.

Larry is being paid $1.4M and his contributions defensively contribute heavily to the team in winning games.

I'd love to see how many games the sabres won the last 6 seasons in this post

Id love to stop talking about Glendale Larry

This is laughable.

Johan Larsson has never played on a playoff team and neither has Jeff Skinner. Not to mention, Johan Larsson played on some all-time worst teams. The only thing he ever contributed to was tanking.

Holy crap you are the worst arguer I have ever encountered. Ever.
- 3rd GM's the charm

Right and Skinner leaves Carolina and they haven’t missed the playoffs since.

Why ? Because they are a strong 200 foot team and everyone has bought into their way of play.

Could Carolina use some extra goal scoring ? Absolutely. But with Jeff Skinner you’re giving up just as mucH defensively and what he commands dollar wise is absolutely not worth it.

Now we’re caught holding the bag.

How many games did we win with Skinner scoring 40 ?

Hockey is a team game.

Jesus Christ we scored more goals than Dallas did last year and they played in a cup final.

He helps teams win games. I guess I must have missed it and what he does is irreplaceable.

Wait, did they win the cup?

Oh they haven’t, so that’s meaningless. Unless you wanna shift on that for this argument

Skinner is paid $9M and unless he’s scores 30 + go0als he’s useless.

Tage Thomson is going to show you how much cap space we have wasted this year.
- Pegullaville

Yup.
I'll place my bet squarely on the precise number of $1.4m.

we were in first place in the entire nhl at thanksgiving that year

I think I flagged this by accident. I'll chalk it up to suppressed rage

Holy poop dude it's only been 2 years and they got steam-rolled last year in the actual playoffs.

The Sabres are stuck with his contract, so why not put him in a position to achieve the best level of success possible?

He is the worst at arguing. Everything he says is a contradiction, everything.

olofsson is better at stopping the run

Henry was also pouting on the sidelines.

I think he's exhausted

Olofsson 2020 season; 9 EV G's
Skinner's 2019-'20 season; 32 EV goals

Jesus Christ, the discussion is over.
- IonSabres

2019-20 season

Last year

Skinner 14 goals 9 assists in 59 games 10 million Jesus Christ!!!!!!

VO 20 goals 22 assists in 54 games 700+ grand Rookie year

Jesus Christ is right!!!

Fun fact - We've won more games since Skinner showed up and scored playing one-dimensional hockey than we did with Johan Larsson doing nothing while playing one-dimensional hockey.

It's okay, I'm pretty sure I have at least 5 posts a day flagged for various reasons anyway.

From what? He's had 18 carries. Now 19.

How about we wait and see what game 1 looks like lines wise

A lot of lines are all over the place right now.
