Torts is out in Columbus before Laine IMO
- Stripes77

Torts should have already been out in Columbus. He has a 5-year shelf life and he's lost the locker room here.

We just ignoring his hot start this year?
- ImThatGuy

I’ve said a thousand times on here....
a few games is not a big enough sample size to judge anything

I’m not saying Fleury is garbage,
but he’s 36 & been declining
That doesn’t mean he can’t still have some good games with a really good team in front of him

Remember when Laine was a generational goal scorer who was going to win multiple Rocket Richards?

Now it took him and Roslovic to get PLD who is barely a #1 center
- sbroads24

Well when you open your career the way Laine did can you really blame the mainstream media ?

What’s wrong with Dubois ? He’s definitely a 1C. I wouldn’t put him in my top 15 Centers in the league list but he could definitely push for that in the next few years

John wawrow or how ever you spell it said the Sabres rumor was BS
- Sabretooth9

When was he ever in on a trade?

None of the local guys are ever in the know

John Warwow is a Jerry Sullivan clone.

He is an ass that needs to be punched in the face a few 1000 times.

He’s too big for himself right now.

Last night.

I blame the sabres skaters in the shoot out for that point

I still can't believe he voted Draisaitl for Selke

3rd rd pick

CBj robbed them then....
IF (and it’s a big “if”)
Torts doesn’t get all p!ssed at Laine bc of his lack of effort defensively
It’s very possible Laine doesn’t work out in CBus

Can we ask a goalie to make some high danger saves so we don’t even have to go into OT or a shootout.

Cannot think of a worse place for Laine to go

so if the goalies do not get a shutout

it's their fault if the sabres lose


got it

- ImThatGuy

buffalo would be worse

That would be awesome, except for the “overpaying” part
- jdfitz77

The Overpaying part is how buffalo does business.

Leaving and coming back , would reduce the max from 8 to 7 years? Right?

Should have done this with skinner, although Hall has played for a few teams and may have a better grasp of what teams provide what?

So if a trade happens, I would think pegs would want it done today, as the focus and spotlight tomorrow will be elsewhere.....or they pull a crap trade announce tomorrow when no one is paying attention.

Never said that. How about just not letting up 4 goals to a depleted Washington team missing 4 of their top 6 skaters.

- Pegullaville

Maybe
He’s certainly well suited as a 2C though imo

Boss (and others, incl myself) would’ve loved him here with his style of physical play
I don’t think we had the pieces to get him though?
Cozens + Sam maybe? No thanks
I wouldn’t have wanted to overpay like the Jets did

PLD is a better player than Laine and I wouldn’t call him a top 15-20 center either yet.

My post was more a commentary on this boards desire to give up a huge trade package for Laine a year ago when trade rumors of his started

We missed A LOT of good chances in that game

Jack needs to start burying the puck

I really don’t understand the trade from the Winnipeg side.
Laine has scored 50 goals in this league. But you know he’s not great defensively so he must be the worst player in the world.

Can you imagine Laine next to Eichel?

I don’t think any of that matters at all

- ImThatGuy

sabres only gave up 4 goals in the first game



ullmark stopped the first 3 shots in the shootout

our big guns went 0-4 in the shootout

team was 0-2 on pp

ullmark stopped 32 of 35 and the first 3 shots in the shootout

So which is it. You are stating two things here. Laine is not worth much, and also Columbus gave up “a ton” to get him.

We missed A LOT of good chances in that game

this is the story for how many years now?

- ImThatGuy

While we’re on this topic, and this isn’t directed at you, trust me

I’m going to assume Taylor Hall isn’t very good because Eichel can’t score goals next to him

Just like Skinner wasn’t very good because Eichel didn’t score as many goals with him as his line mate
