marking you down for konecny
- TheSabresTaco

Hopefully you marked in pencil, I love a good theft:

will you be upset if benson hits 60 points
- TheSabresTaco

he is probably not beating out tuch, quinn, or peterka if those are all healthy

his path to the second line IMO will be tough as long as skinner is on the roster, and kulich, savoie, ostlund, rosen and 2024 first round pick are in the pipeline

A fool would double down on linear progression for Sabres players. How much are you willing to bet on this?

Yeah, my Peterka prediction aged like sour milk right ?

he got the spot due to a clueless gm and at the end of the year

he was noticed less than a fly in a meth lab

he will fit right in here though

his production from late december to early march was on par with an orange pylon (2 goals and 3 assists in 30 games)

maybe if he scored 1 or 2 points in Jan, we could have had a few post season games

Maybe if Debrincant did the same the Red Wings wouldn’t choked away a 10 point cushion for the 2nd wild card spot the last two months of the season.

Your inability to directly answer a question is a very telling sign.

the cat was never remotely close to bensons pathetic scoring touch for those 10 weeks

hell he had 13 points in their last 14 games

Lol I was about to make the linear progression point

Neither Benson or savoie added wins for the sabres this year. No one should expect savoie to this coming year either.

I think Benson is good at hockey but ffs it is so tiring reading posts crying about prospects being the saviors. Homie is bang on about Benson not being valuable for very large stretches of the season

It doesn't matter that he was 18. They were expected to be a playoff team and didn't make it. Weren't even close despite appearing close at times. No 18 19 or 20 year old in this organization is coming to save us

Debrincant scored 14 goals the last 60 games while playing top PP minutes in his prime.

Benson scored 11 in 71 this year with next to no PP time in his rookie season.

One was asked to play in the middle 6, the other was paid $7.87M to play on the top line.

You ask me what the better investment was

Benson had like 4 goals in January.

It's hilarious to pretend he was some giant positive this year

**and I love Benson and what he WILL be in a year or two**

I wish I was as wrong as often as Hockeybuzz posters claimed I was wrong.

Had one point in the 7 games prior to that.

As the Red Wings choked away a playoff spot.

your claim to fame today is a rookie scored 11 goals on the wing and the cat and his 67 points sucks because the wings just missed the playoffs


as we easily missed the playoffs for our professional sports all time record of 13 straight seasons

good for you, and good for us sabres fans

you said we were a lock last summer to make the playoffs, when did we choke it away?

I will say we chocked it away in July of 2023

No, I supported Taco’s view point when he said Debrincant wa awful in Ottawa, which he was.

The the narrative shifted to this year where Debrincant scored 14 goals in his last 60 after the horse shoe fell out of his ass once everything he touched stopped going in the net after October.

Detroit just had one of the most epic second half regular season meltdowns of the last decade.

I’m more nervous about Ottawa than I am of Detroit but they seem to never be able to get out of their own way regardless.

There is no reality in which DeBrincat was "awful" in 2022-23.

He was -2.7% XGF rel with 27 actual goals.

His finishing alone made him a + player.
