Thread: Unrealistic and over the top but lets rebuild again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SalamiCheese</b></div><div>Or maybe idiots owners can't hire competent people? Lindy Ruff coached the Sabers very well for many years. They always hire novice GMs and coaches like. Krueger coached in the NHL only six months five years ago, and then worked as a football functionary.</div></div>

Novice coaches &amp; GMs? They hired a guy who won 2 cups in Bylsma and a GM who was widely praised in Botterill (won 2 cups as assistant GM). Tim Murray also had a wealth of experience in scouting and being an assistant GM for the Sens when they were good. They've hired guys from a wide range of backgrounds (expierence, ex-players, outside the box coaches, gritty hard work coaches).

Then once they all start coaching/managing the Sabres it all goes down the drain, but it's just real easy to blame those stinkin owners.

Thread: Sabres
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>This post is a week old...

GAR is one of the best models out there too lol. I can also look at Corsi, Fenwick, +/-, E+/-, and Zone Starts.

Neal also had zero goals after 2020, where Lucic had 5. Lucic is also a PPG this tournament.

You can say all you want that it wasnt a smart trade, Neal was literally useless in Calgary and no one liked him but Smith. Lucic is well liked by the team and well respected.</div></div>

And I just seen this reply. I'm not on this website 24/7.

Best models out there to who? Some huge limitations when comparing players that play with different roles and TOI.

Trading away Neal isn't the issue. It's singing him to that albatross deal in the first place and then trading for Lucic. The guy previously said he the team wouldn't trade for Risto because he sucks, but it didn't stop the team from signing a guy that sucks for a long deal then trading him for another guy that sucks more.
