Pain Its always pain

Created by: Cory0923
Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 17, 2021
Published: Feb. 17, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
It is very clear the Sabres are never going to win with their current core. A decade of incompetent management and coaching have ruined any chance we had. Just blow it up and start over. I am so sick of the Buffalo Sabres wasting the careers of my favorite players

It's not necessarily meant to be realistic... just trade everyone wherever and start over

Bruins don't really need Staal right now. McCabe is a better target.

People need to stop trading Eichel. It's insulting. And other people need to stop saying a top 10 talent in the NHL isn't worth it for their team.

Even if Dallas wanted a struggling Hall, and even with you taking Cogliano, the Stars don't have anywhere near the cap space to add him; especially not when you consider that Bishop's $4.9M+ contract will be coming off of LTIR at some point this season. With the frozen salary cap, very few competitive teams will be able to afford Hall....and Dallas isn't one of them.

Potentially a pair of 1st for that return for Boston? **** that, for a pair of 1st I'll go after a young winger which actually fits the teams need.

It just seems like such a shame to have a top 10 or even top 5 centre in the league play for this poor excuse of an nhl team, that's all. That's why people think he should be traded.

This has been the gameplan every 3 years. How's it working out so far?

Olofsson is a young winger that fits their needs...

You mean the guy who 50% of his career production has come via the PP? The same guy whose top 3 linemates since last season are Eichel, Reinhart and Staal?

Shame for such an elite player like Matthews to only see one round of the playoffs as well...

Id love to hear some other options that fit your parameters. I get that a lot of his production is on the PP but hes no Hoffman, the dude is a goal scorer that's only getting better. Id love to see him getting fed by Krejci

Honestly I'm not looking to make a move if I'm Boston unless its for a top pairing LHD. This team isn't fully healthy and our top prospect is forced to play in the AHL because there isn't room for him on the NHL roster.

Its actually not though lol. Toronto has played more games than 22 other teams. They rank T-4th in P% behind BOS/FLA//CAR and tied with TBL & VGK. They also play in the absolute worst defensive division in the NHL. 3 of the top 10 teams in most SA are in the North Division and 5 in the top 15 come from the North Division. The top 2 teams in most GA/GP are also from the North Division and if you want to look at the top 10, the North has 3 teams. If you want to take it one step further, looking at goalies and GSAA, 4 of the top 5 in worst GSAA (wait for it)......are from the North Division and 5 of the top 10 are from the North Division.

Thats fair, and Id also really like to see more than 5 games at a time from Kase but this window isnt getting any bigger. I wouldnt hate a big move if it wasnt forced

That's why I said there is an asterisk beside it. But what does being a bad defensive division have to do with their overall record?

Are you serious right now?

You win games by outscoring your opponent, no? If the teams in your division are poor defensively its easier to score goals and as we know, you win games by outscoring your opponent.
