Nice posting Dude and Dub. Especially Chef...great to see that old school BD poke his head out. Most people will say that drafting Stamkos and Hedman. 1st and 2nd overall was the et all be all to them winning the cup but I would argue that drafting Kucherov 58th overall, Point 79th overall and ...

They’ve been tanking since 2011 and currently hold the 2nd worst record in the league and just lost their 13th game in a row. How in the hell is that a recipe for success? You gave ONE example of it not working. I gave FOUR. in our examples alone that is an 80% success rate. I wouldn't even c ...

The full tank rebuild is the path to a dynasty. Get as many lottery picks as you can! Buffalo Sabres have been on a historical full tank rebuild since the beginning of time. The results are astounding, astonishing. They currently are the proud owners of the 2025 2nd overall pick with 12 losses in a ...

Miller did not look good on the shorty or the ot winner. He looked good elsewhere in the game but he simply can't be so fucking relaxed in coverage. With so many other things going wrong, it really sucks we have the lazy Miller this year.

I was just about to comment that Tocchet needs to get Juulsen out of the lineup. And then he goes and takes that double minor. Wake up Rick ffs. Bad read to try for that hit. But I saw one angle where it didn't look like Juulsen's stick hit him. It looked like it was his own stick. I'm surprised ...

Thank god for the GOAT... because AHLers and 7/8 dmen in the lineup every night is why the offensive chances and goals have dried up for this team. Miller vs Pettersson is an easy distraction. Juulsen, Desharnais, Friedman, Brannstrom playing... Myers, Soucy, Forbort with expanded roles... that is ...

2024 - Barkov 2023 - Eichel 2022 - Mackinnon 2021 - Point 2020 - Point 2019 - Schenn/O'Reilly 2018 - Kuznetsov 2017 - Crosby 2016 - Crosby There's a dozen more centers in the league too who havn't even won a cup yet who'd be light years beyond what we have. All of them miles beyond what we'd be ...

True, you do need top offensive centers to play well enough to win a cup. But if people hadn't noticed, one of the reasons for last year's success was 6 actual NHL caliber dmen were in the lineup on most nights... something we haven't had in over a decade. When mgmt recently said they needed to add ...

who is going to play center in all this madness? play it well enough to win the cup, because that's why we're here of course. I havn't seen one trade that didn't make me smell a rebuild around the corner (more likely spinning our wheels in the middle of the league with a bottom half of the league ...

thanks for this, this is largely what I was trying to say in other threads, but much more eloquent then what I could muster.

As for those posters talking about a 1C coming back. I would argue that right now Miller plays like a 1C. Petey though has previously shown the potential to be a generational 1C. It is a huge risk trading him, I won't deny that, but depending on what would be coming back, it could be worth it ...

I like this Peter for Cozens and Byram idea of Friedman's very much. It is very interesting... Does Cozens have potential for 1C? I don't really follow him or the Sabers much Any potential Petey trade should bring back a top 6 forward, 1st rounder, an, ideally, RD and a blue chip prospect. I'd do ...

I like this Peter for Cozens and Byram idea of Friedman's very much. It is very interesting... Does Cozens have potential for 1C? I don't really follow him or the Sabers much He seems like a potential 2C, still young too. Byram looks like a decent D prospect but can he play the right side? Any ...
