Yeah, hence why I’ve been saying for months now that if they had a league average PP this year they’d be in a wildcard spot right now.

They are miles better at 5v5 than both Detroit and Tampa this season.

Total blown opportunity
- Swedish_Jesus

Just saying applying a .3 G difference over 5 games might be stretching things. It's rounding 2.7 up, not a substantial difference.

Apparently it takes 4 years to come back from hip surgery. I hope he can continue the good play. I'm not holding my breath, but he is still young enough that he may have genuinely turned a corner
- Wetbandit1

Yeah, I don’t think I will ever trust him as a goalie.

But when you watch. He has definitely figured out a lot of his issues.

power on shootout

Probably cause he tends to score in them....

Pretending that top line is fine and dandy is stretching it.

They’ve been non existent

Tage tripping over himself , skinner disappears, tuch is inconsistent

I think Tage will be fine. Are 32 year old Skinner and 28 year old Tuch good 1st liners next year, or are we starting to see decline?

Does Donnie have it in him to use them in lesser roles? Big part of the PP issues are on them.

Also possible the Cozens line emerges as a 1st line, Benson-Krebs-Peterka is a second line, and the Tage line may really be another “second line”

Good points

All 3 make me nervous right now.

All 3 play like they are injured or something. Just not looking at all like last year.

Tage should explode for anytime, but he was flubbing everything tonight

I think the second part is big. Will Donnie ever use them that way? New guys breaking onto the PP and on the ice down 1 with a minute left.

Think Greenway has been underappreciated in the middle 6 and we know he's a Donnie favorite.

There's gotta be a move coming. These pieces don't fit for another season.

The Greenway trade may have been the best deadline move in the last several years. It’s a shame it won’t be recognized as such because of the rest of the stink.

With that being said, if KAGM can manage to move Skinners contract and bring in a top 4 d-man in the same trade, heck even in separate trades, the march to Top 5 GM status will be back on

I think there's a better chance of KA being fired than Skinner being traded this offseason.

In the same trade?

Is that a serious comment?

It can't be.

I understand the desire, but how long does management continue to chase the magic of last season from the top line before realizing that last season may have been an anomaly that will not be repeated?

The team was waiting for the last rainbow grifter (me) to give up on the season before drawing all of us back in.
- Swedish_Jesus

It was a solid showing by the Sabres, don't think the Rainbow is drawing anyone back in. They still need a lot of Help and probably have to win 18 or so those 24 games left to get close.

It would be something if they did it, but I don't want another race to 9th. It will give them excuses.

I didn't make it, but I'll share it after games.

The points target is based on the wild card pace of 93 points to get in.

That pace will likely change as the weeks go by.

Soft, soft and more soft
Combine that with mental fragility and lack of a true leader... Makings if a PO team that loses regularly once there
They need to trade out some of these assets for other assets who brings it.

I fake traded a 3rd to Nashville and got Yakov Trenin and signed him to a 2yr 5mill extension. Then I sent Krebs and pick back to Vegas for Kaeden Korzack. And then yesterday traded a 2nd and a 4th with Olofsson to Washington for Jensen.

Think Maple Leafs the previous 5 season or so... Very good regular season, failure when it really counts.
