You guys are screwed in a year anyway, just wait until next off-season or the TDL next year.

I'm the only one who has provided a link in the conversation. Matthews played 4 fewer games (it's right there in the link I provided). Are injuries hilarious to you? Would you much rather Matthews be injured while Tage accumulates more points? Now that is hilarious.

And I think you better look up the word "take". All I provided were stats and factual cap hit information.

You say this but Toronto has like 12m in cap space and only what 14 players signed next year, year after there only like 5 or 6 are signed, who's he playing with.

An Auston Matthews trade would cost so much I am having a panic attack just thinking about it.

Matthews is twice the player Thompson is, everyone in the world knows as well. This is just hilarious. You are making Sabres fans look terrible.

Tage is 6'7 Matthews is 6'3.

Those numbers are wrong. They have 14 players signed for next year and Muzzin is one of them. I don't think they are including Rielly either. In any sense, management always finds a way. No matter how much you guys say the same thing.

And Tyler Myers is 6'8" I guess that means he's better than Makar.

And I mean, you should know better. Tage scored in all 4 games against TO last year. Tage 4G 2A, Matthews 1G 1A.

Those numbers are from this site. Sure they do, that's why you guys get your participation trophy every year.

Matthews scored tonight, I guess that means he's better because the last 5 minutes washes away the entirety of both players careers. That's how it works right?

Says the fanbase trying to trade for Matthews on this site. This is just getting silly. I am not even trying to chirp the team, I think you have some really good pieces and will be a good team in the future, one or two more higher picks and you'll be a really good team in a couple years. Be patient and take the good with the bad, pain now will result in better times down the road. Too often the Sabres franchise has jumped the gun on a rebuild and it's blown up each time. Hopefully this time is different. Good luck and I wish you well. The guy on here trying to argue that Thompson is better than Matthews though is ridiculous.

I wouldn't do that trade, but to each there own. I am not trying to be a dick either but you guys unfortunately have some problems coming, think it's gonna be harder to sign him than some Leaf fans think, and that's because of your FO

FO?

I am not worried about Matthews or Nylander or Marner. With the cap increasing and Brodie and Muzzin off the books, they will get Matthews and Nylander signed and then JT will get a huge pay cut the next year when Marner is FA. It's being planned for.

Nope. You're the one that keeps trying to say a 1-game sample size is legit. I'm using 41 games. And, Tage had an assist, so he's still outproducing Matthews, going back 42 games now. Keep living in denial. It suits you.

I have never once said Tage is better than Matthews.

I have said that Tage is outproducing Matthews in the past 41 games. Fact.
I have said that Tage has a cap hit of $1.4mm compared to Matthews' $11.64mm. Fact

And I said, all things considered, I would much prefer to have the player making $1.4mm to the player making $11.64mm.

Their production over the past 41 games is basically the same, except one player is making 8.31 times more than the other player. It's simple math.

Thompson 1G 2A tonight.

Sample size keeps growing. I love checking back in with you as you requested.

We can now go back 49 team games.

Tage 30G 28A
Matthews 28G 29A

Tage 1G 1A

Sample size keeps growing my friend.

Last 51 team games:

Tage 31G 29A
Matthews 29G 30A

Wow. Matthews scored 1 goal one night. I'm sure you didn't see Tage yet. LOL.

You wrote that on Nov 30. So, let's look at the numbers from Nov 30th onward...

Matthews 6GP 4G 5A 9 PTS ( really ****ing good!)
Thompson 7GP 9G 7A 16 PTS

How you can come on here straight-faced and say, "Matthews is twice the player Thompson is, everyone in the world knows as well. This is just hilarious. You are making Sabres fans look terrible."


HAHAHAHAHAHA. Get some eggnog on your face.

I'm pretty sure you are making Toronto fans look even less informed.

Tage 23GP 23G 20A

Please illustrate how Matthews is twice the player. Have fun trying to keep Matthews at $13.5mm while BUF has Tage at $7.14mm for 7 years....starting next year.
