I had no idea Taylor Hall shot the puck like Evander Kane...

Yeah, it's amazing how many shots we miss the net with, or in Miller's case have blocked.

You know.... I am well aware of my negativity towards the Sabres but consider this.... For 10 years all we have read on here is that this guy has great potential... that guy has great potential..... If we just trade for this guy or that guy... give this guy a chance he is young....If the coach just changes lines around.... If we just draft this guy or that guy.....I actually agree that the Sabres have had many players with "potential" and in fact have had some teams that could have been better..... The reality is that it is up to the ORGANIZATION to have the pieces in place to draw that "potential" out of each player. The Sabres have clearly failed in all areas when comes to developing and bring out the talent in most of their players. IMO their problems still start at the very top where MS. Pegula sits. She has absolutely no business being there. And since excellence is drawn from the top down it is clear the Sabres will continue to be an awful professional organization until that situation is changed...

Does that apply to the Bills as well then?

I just think the term and dollars will be too much. You have a need a olb too, will probably be losing Milano... some just want to draft a rookie and start em there. Probably not the best idea. Do you think Kline has enough ceiling to ease a rookie in?

D line needs to be worked a little and if you signed watt ... well him and Hughes aren’t getting any younger.

I don’t mind watt at the right term and money. But I don’t think we can match what Cleveland will offer and if we do, it will hurt the team in other areas.

Good post.
Milano is gone probably either way.
Klein did have a couple good games last season
I still think some of Milanos success is our defensive sceme. Makes linebackers look good.

Our biggest need is someone to pressure mahomes and other qbs. Seems like jj watt is one of the best ever. He is old and broken, but man, the offseason would be really fun.

Football money is different than hockey money and contracts. They can be sneaky

He's averaging .69 pts a game, if he pots a couple more goals hes ahead of his pace last year( .77 ) but that is luck of our 1st line so far... just can't beat the posts.

Half of VO's goals came 5v5 last year, so yeah, he has scored at even strength.
- Powerslave


That's what I can't understand, was olo known for not being a good 5 x 5 guy? Prior to this 15 games?

Thought he had 6/8 last year?

Surprised too. I miss Foligno man he lit up a SJ defensemen the other night, even stopped cause he didn't want to hurt the kid. He would make this team play with a little more balls.

Last thing I was told is Cleveland is trying to drive up the price. But that the Bill's were in it and supposedly have a 2yr deal on the table.

honest question...knowing his 5v5 struggles and impressive pp acumen, what would be acceptable goal numbers for him: total goals= 5v5g+ppg

this is a question for the group

- Michael Pachla

in a full season, up to 30 pp goals (he is on that pace this year )
20 5 on 5 goals

Would trade a lot for a Tom Wilson type on this team. Matt Martin was throwing his weight around and Irwin is tussling with him. Goons are dead, but physical intimidation in hockey is not.
