Definitely a bust but can still be a useful 3rd liner.

I haven’t had a problem with his game tonight.
- Pegullaville

Me neither. I actually think he’s been decent last three games.

I went for the joke

How? Guy leads the team in points and goals at a reasonable contract.

Still young and inexperienced nhl player.

Doesnt make sense?

Skinner no goals
Eichel 2 goals
Hall 1 goal
Dahoin 1 goal
Okposo no goals

Goals win games. 1-0 . Does it really matter if its 5 x 4?

Kind of sad how Borgen should have been a regular in the lineup even last year and Bryson should have been on opening roster this year.

Both needed an abundance of injuries just to play over the guys they are better than
- Pegullaville



Could they be protected them for the expansion draft?
Borgen mainly

McCabe, Montour, Davidson and Irwin are all UFAs.

Perhaps Borgen and Bryson can stay next year.

Thing is, hes not.

Hes going to be 26. I don't see much more improvement coming from him.

This is who he is going to be.

Really tough break for Borgen (no pun intended). This would have been a great opportunity for him. I'm excited to see more from Bryson though. He looks good

Borderline fan, sure.

Who am I trolling?

Oh, the Sabres fans.... with an appreciation of a talented bright spot during a miserable decade.

181st pick. Leading the team in scoring. Let's pick holes in his game. 🤔

Eric Staal was an awful 2C acquisition.

Has there been legit any upgrade to Marcus Johansson?

They just can’t figure out how to get centers

Well yea, You and I were on that from day 1.
Acquiring a 37 year old, who did not want to be traded in any way, seemed like a bad idea.

If Monahan was truly available that would have been the options to explore.
But i don't trust Adams to make any significant moves.

I don’t think either are world beaters by any sense of the imagination but both are relatively inexpensive NHL regulars on the backend that can allow us to spend more money up front and on another goalie not named Hutton.

I don’t think of Borgen as the ideal top 4 d-man but if he can be the low event defender that allows Dahlin to go buck wild he doesn’t need to be.

Bryson is a third pairing guy that has the speed to spark transition and looks capable out there.

Even if Bryson-Borgen becomes our third pairing I’ll take it

That's what I thought about Borgen.

Probably a good guy to start a franchise around or at least be a part of. Kracken ?
