How good is buffalos power play in general?

Don't count the games against the devil's because the devil's PK is terrible, near 50% rate

How is the PP against other teams? From what I have seen it is scary good but that's against the devil's

We hand cangi going on about the buffalo PP is tops in the league and all......and devil fans were like we know it's good but the sabres have played the devil's so many times it skews those numbers

Devil's special teams are scary bad

Well that couldn’t be more damning for Ralph... can we call Galant now? Please!

Tank for Power. Owen Power.

I have heard that the NHL may skip this draft and make the next draft a major draft due to many prospects unable to play due to covid restrictions

That would create a stacked draft class but wonder logically how it would work.

Say a team comes last this season but makes the playoffs next season, what draft position would they have if there is no draft this season?

we need about 3 of him in the locker room and on the ice

tachuck and wood ... that would be 2...

Well you guys have helped are PP%, but we have been good against other teams too. But what does it matter when you can't score 5on5, and it's a head scratcher with some of the talent we supposedly have.

- Gr8daygo

Wish he was ready, Pekar, but he's still raw, and has NO NHL EXPERIENCE

Because they are not going to pay another coach to not work for them.
They are begin very cheap currently and have already stated they wont add any dead money to their cap and this also holds true to staff and FO.

I think they are trying to get out from under the Skinner contract. So they don't have to pay him.
- ImThatGuy

So if this is the strategy, which every passing day seems to bring more truth to it...then their first priority should have been to do it with Okposo in the Hope's of him seriously contemplating retirement to get out of that contract.
At the same time, they should have reunited Skinner with Jack and Sam for 15+ games.

So much is wrong with Krueger
-his boring defense 1st, 2nd & 3rd system is destroying careers and trade values in Hall, Skinner, Dahlin, Montour....very gifted Offensive players
-targeted discipline unevenly distributed...why is Eakin playing, why is Olo in top 6 with his abysmal 5v5 performance
-utilization of players, we know he hates Skinner, and apparently loves Tage having given him many unwarranted opportunities at the top, playing Irwin rather than Borgen

And Kim and Terry are so knowledgeable that they endorse a slick taking snake oil salesman.

Well Borgen and Irwin play opposite sides, sorry that's all I got. Oh sorry and you got to have NHL experience

If that happens, you will find the most convoluted, ass backwards, makes zero sense approach to a draft by the nhl ever, that will see the Penguins somehow getting picks 1 and 4...

Ok. I disagree, but at least i see where you’re coming from here.
Just don’t go comparing him to Hutton

Hall was really good in the 1st btw

And Ralph is clearly stifling the offense.
He’s gotta let these guys “attack” more
- jdfitz77

Ok. I’m not comparing but when you say things like he was really good in the first it’s not a statement I take as a positive. Thompson, Okposo and many other sh!t on players have had good one period performances. Live by your own beliefs and don’t defend someone for underachieving especially an MVP who played some good shifts at best.
I’m sure Ralph didn’t tell Hall to use the samePeeWee move on all his breakaways.

1- okposo is a good locker room guy. He has an “A”. And Kim loves him. Come on man.

2- defense wins, Larry hockey or no hockey!

3- defenseman are supposed to play DEFENSE! Not offense. Ddduuuhhhh

4- Eakin plays cause face offs MATTER!

5- the is no dog house. There may be an outhouse and it’s clearly overflowing with POOP!

6- Can we call Galant now? PLEASE!

That won’t happen very so very many many reasons.

First of all being incredibly unfair in situations like you mentioned, second being all teams are in equal boats now. Along with many others that I don’t care to elaborate on as it’s so stupid, the NHL might do it

Curious about this Tkachuk rumor that the Flames may be willing to move him...

Oddly, yesterday the gang on sirius- XM NHL channel were talking that the Flames are essentially Matt's team and he will be their Captain when Giordano retires.

Skinner, Mitts & Asplund
For
Tkachuk and Bennet

This is completely different then Smashing two drafts into one. This is two separate drafts (still one for this year, one for next) just wouldn’t be held until next year. Meaning a non playoff team this year but a playoff team next year would be slotted accordingly

Agreed...was going off the money aspect and the thought they want to jettison Bennett.
It's low ball for sure.

Do they extend Ullmark?

Plus rumors have connected Hall there.
