Great conversation.
Unfortunately the GM who built the Sabres to be on the verge of competing is now gone.
Ristolainen and Dahlin will absolutely explode this year, the former 45 to 50 pts and the later 60 to 70 pts.
Skinner will get his 35 to 40 goals with better line mates (can you imagine pairing him with Sobotka?).
Cozens will establish himself as a solid #2 center.
Kahun, Mittelstadt and Thompson will all be solid middle 6 forward contributors. Something that has been missing from the Sabres for at least 10 years.
Trade Miller for LHD and Buffalo will have one of the better defenses in the league.
Hopefully Ullmark will improve his mechanics and positioning so he can stop more of the close range shots. Did you know he had the BEST SV% of all GK on shots taken from 31' and longer in the NHL.
It is funny that it takes a Sens fan to see the Buffalo is on the verge and do not need to make major moves.
Most important, they need an NHL coach not a cheer leader.
I have said this many times now Vesey, Montour, Miller, Hutton, Sheary, Rodrigues, Okposo and of course Skinner all had career worse years.
Adding Miller, Jokiharju, Vesey, Johansson and Montour for the entire year and team does worse under Krueger than under Housley?
Yet he stays, shares the spotlight with Adams and KIm Pejoker during the question and answer press conference after Botterill was fired.
BTW, everyone knows Regier drafted poorly.
Well he had to use films to evaluate the prospects.
Guess what Adams will be doing? Good luck with that, it did not work 10 years ago, it will not work now.
There, that is my rant of the day.
Stay tuned for my rant tomorrow.
