Not sure you've really moved the needle as much as the Sabres need you to.

I think the main focus was just to add some top 6 Forwards. Under Krueger the defense has been good at limiting high danger opportunities. I think whats failed has been goaltending and scoring production

Montour is worth alot more then Kap.No matter what delusional leaf fans think of him. And sabres will not trade risto and montour.

I question how much you really know based on you pulling up Fitzgerald instead of Borgen.

Id like to see Fitzgerald/Bryson get a mini 9 game trial period to see what we have in him. Borgen is will never be more than a 3rd pairing d

No hes not, and why not?

Fitzgerald has been playing forward in the AHL most games

Montour isn't good. He's great transitionally but doesn't help Buffalo in either zone. And The Sabres will continue to be a bottom feeder if they continue to hold on to them. Plus they'll lose one of them in the expansion draft if both stay anyways.

That's fair. With 8M they could probably sign a guy like Hunt or Heed too. Anything that keeps McCabe away. I'd still like to see him for a quick sec and then bring Borgen

Again another sabres fan that gets mad at the actually good players. I am sure you hate reinhart and skinner as well. Trading away both will just create a huge whole on defense. Also, Top 4 RHD dman a worth a lot more then a third line speedy winger.

What makes him good? Reinhart and Skinner are actually good. There's already a giant hole on the RHD. He's not worth as much as Buffalo paid for him (Shocking)

I am guessing you are little slow or were hit in the head. I am sorry you are suffering from a mental problem. That being said thinking AHL players will perform any where close to Risto or Montour will end very badly. But most important you will force Pilut, Miller ( who has been a healthy scratch) and Joker to play in top 4 when they are not ready or are not top 4 guys.

You made the team alot worse.

He can skate, he is one of the best breakout passers on the team and he plays in top 4 on bad team yet has best +/- of all defenders.

Taylor Fedun has performed at a higher level than Risto this year.

Pilut has been forced into more defensive starts and while his offense contribution has diminished, he has been more effective defensively. And Miller being scratched is a product of the coach not his actual ability. He's been performing better in the last 20 games.

And dude chill

Using +/- as a stat....yikes

You are comparing fedun to risto? and putting career AHL players to on roster.

Yeah completely ignore my first two points because they dont matter at all.

Why the snotty tone of these comments? Didn't this used to be a country where people's opinions were treated with at least initial respect?

Well I already stated that those were two of his strong points and then established how he doesn't help when the puck is actually in a zone

Why? Hes like 24th on our defensive depth chart
