oh my

What if he asked, they said no and now this is play we get?

Thought it was %100 on krueger yesterday?

Why bring eichel into this?

Nothing to base this upon, but here's my prediction:

Hall gets traded for a modest return before the deadline
Stall gets traded for next to nothing before the deadline
team finishes well out of the playoffs

Jack is traded for the most return possible in the offseason. Entire front office is blown up with a real hockey man brought in as a savior. The rebuild begins with the return from jack trade, sam, cozens, dahlin, and an unmovable skinner.

Anyway, it's what I'd do at this point. Hall actually has weaseled some points and can get a draft pick or two. Stall will be wanted by at least one playoff team for his experience. No matter how this season goes, Buffalo will have suiters lining up for Jack in the offseason.

Did you have had olofsson in the mix for most points?

The 4th liners are not the problem.

Its eichel, hall , dahlin and the other top players.

Unless okposo and skinner are on the 4th line.
Then it's the 4th line fault.

In the mix? Sure. Easy to say the 5 guys on the PP are in the mix, especially over only 15 games.

I'm not blaming the 4th line. I'm just having a little fun jabbing Girgs and complimenting Lazar and Rieder.

I agree, just stating the Sabres could say F@ck You, we drafted you, pay you good money, so start playing like Captain and leading your team, your some of the problem start being the solution.

That usually turns out poorly. We won’t have anything around him, still suck as he becomes less valuable as a trade commodity each day. He should of been gone in offseason with Sam Montour and Risto

760 minutes in Olofsson's career he has played with Eichel, in that time frame he has 5 goals

Olofsson is a PP specialist (that is not a bad thing) kid has a dynamite shot

The teams issue isn't their PP (it's top 5 in the league) it's their 5 on 5 scoring (or lack there of)

hall-eichel-skinner
staal=cozens-reinhart
rieder-eakin-olofsson
casey-lazar-sheahan


should be the lineup

I agree and I think most people have come around to that view.

But to his question, the top 5 scorers are usually the 5 guys on the PP.

Olofsson played 22:46 last night in a game that didn’t go to OT.

The coach thinks he’s a bonafide top line forward as good as Reinhart and Hall and obviously thinks he’s a lot better than Skinner and Cozens

He’s yet to prove he’s better than any at even strength

hall-eichel-skinner
staal=cozens-reinhart
rieder-eakin-olofsson
casey-lazar-sheahan

hall-eichel-skinner
That would be a scary line.

- Fattony1187

You can't say that, Quinn, Peterka, Rusto, Pekar could be better than what we have, and in Cozens, Olofsson all the young defenseman we have coming up.

So you are saying, Ralph should stick

Skinner-Jack-Samson

Together for, well... at minimum 5-10 games. Seeing as that line pulled in what 90 points two years ago.

Skinner. Jack. Samson.

Hall. Staal. Cozens - has looked ok.

Olo. Eakin. Okposo - rieder hurt, okposo has the lube, will never sit.

Mitts. Lazar. Sheehan.

Don’t like mitts there. And Sheehan should be sat after last nights horrid horrid play, but whatever. Can only sit skinner for poope play. And swap Tall Larry for Fat Larry.

I’d rather see a couple kids instead of okposo and Sheehan. But you know, lube and vet experience go a long way.

hall-eichel-skinner
That would be a scary line.

skinner has played rw, said he is comfortable there

was practicing with hall early on


you want to get those three out of their funk, play them together 20 minutes a night


what's the worst thing that can happen, we sink below the wings and sens

best thing that happens is the team gets on a roll

the team was on track for a trickle up process, the plan botts had promised


the echl team was consistently in the playoffs

rochester as well


seemed during the second year of housley, the missing link was a second line center and then the first year of ralph, the plan was casey all along

when casey failed, so was that season

prospects look great but for all we know could end up being fringe nhl guys

I agree. That line would be fun to watch.

I thought that was the idea, Ala Miller, Roy, Poms, Vanek, Gaustad. I don't know much, but IMO Ralph is not the guy to lead the future of this team, rather see Appert if this is the poop I am gonna see most nights.

Those 3 would NOT play Ralph’s synergy hockey and therefore will NEVER Be put together. Larry hockey is all that matters. 18 skaters working to one synergistic goal of Larry hockey. That is the way.

PP Larry. Pouty Larry. Consistent Larry

Hart Larry. Grizzled Larry. New Larry

Tomb Larry. FaceOff Larry. Concussed Larry

Fat Larry. Lazer Larry. Dumb Larry.

Bad Larry!

That’s your line up! All Larry’s. All the time.

Now that's funny

On LinkedIn today o saw

“Director of fan development” job opening today.

Maybe Duffer’s wife who sucked as the game day operations could apply for it.

In the mix? Sure. Easy to say the 5 guys on the PP are in the mix, especially over only 15 games.

This team really does need to be blown up.

Aside from a few guy's who show up and play every game.

I wish we had Ottawa's set up.

Brady tkachuk
Tim stuetzle
Last place
Other top pick from last draft.

All out effort every game, just like Brady t, soon to be captain tkachuk

skinner has played rw, said he is comfortable there

All of the scenario's make Ralph look wrong
