My Boeser trade 21-22
I really don't see the point in this trade for both teams. Why would Adams even do this if his priority is to develop our prospects? Boeser is a great player, but he'll just take a spot in Quinn's or Peterka's squad. I would just prefer Adams to improve our main problematic position - goalies, that's all. I also like Rosen, I see Ehlers vibes.

Well, in fact, this is the second round for ABB, which was waivers twice, it seems to me not a very fair deal for Buffalo. I don’t even know where he would have played for us, probably Adams would just have preferred to keep places in the lineup for Tuch, Krebs, Peterka and Quinn.

I didn't mean that he was considered the best promising defender, but that during the Internet and social networks, all this hype can greatly interfere.
I do not know whose expectations he does not meet, his development was definitely not good, like the development of Mitts, like the development of Thompson, before that of Myers, Risto and many other players, but now I am completely satisfied with him, he plays like #1 D and continues to progress ... Let's see what happens in a couple of years, but now he is on the right way.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DongLord23</b></div><div>Points are pretty much useless for evaluating a defenceman. You should know that. If you give any d man a boat load of minutes + time on the PP they'll put up points. Just like Risto did. Racking up secondary assists doesn't mean you're having a positive impact to your team.
I literally just told you how to assess defenders. It's like you just ignored everything I wrote. Dahlin fails at everything. He struggles with the eye test. His metrics aren't good. He's not great at driving play. Most Sabres fans that aren't homers would agree with that. This really screams you being extremely defensive over your own team's player.
Being a Sabres fan makes you inherently biased. Fans of their own team tend to overrate their own players. I have watched plenty of Sabres games. You assuming that I don't watch because I disagree with you was just very dumb.</div></div>
This is just nonsense, since there are different defenders, you have to evaluate all aspects of a player's play, not just defensive play, but even here Dahlin has improved compared to previous seasons. But then again, you now have to take and compare Dahlin's metrics in 10 games with Butcher and in 6 games with Pysyk, this is to be objective, because I am sure that the quality of the partner also affects the game and the metrics. Risto has played 25+ minutes per game in recent seasons and accumulated his 40 points. Dahlin played for 18-20 minutes and scored about the same number of points. Dahlin scores points not only at PP. Look how he starts the attacks, see how he takes the puck out of the zone, his breakouts, he is very good at this, and this is very important for the team, but you apparently do not take this into account. He has improved in defense and near the boards.
You talk nonsense over and over again, he doesn't struggle with an eye test, where did you see that at all?
You've watched a lot of Sabers games and you misjudge the players, and I never overestimate my players if I see a player playing badly every game, that's what I say. Dahlin didn't play bad every game, and you're just lying. I gave you a lot of facts, but you just ignore them and keep talking nonsense.
I don’t know why continue to argue, if you say nonsense every time, it’s easier to ignore people like you, because people like you completely ignore what tell you and try to adjust the situation for themselves. Goodbye.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DongLord23</b></div><div>You're using points & total minutes to evaluate a defenceman? Is this Risto all over again lol? Big part of how I evaluate a d man is how they play defense. Crazy I know. And how they drive play on offense. Dahlin hasn't done either well since his rookie year. Every metric shows that. The eye test shows that too. This just isn't this season. He's had a multitude of partners the last 3 years. There have been 100 excuses by now.
I didn't say you did. The other guy said that. He said they'd be 2nd line centers on most teams, which honestly tells me everything I need to know about his opinion. Both of you made some funny comments.
You and the other two guys said that I'm not a Sabres fan so idk what I'm talking about. That was the argument and a terrible cop out. That crumbles when there are decent amount of Sabres fans that disagree with you.</div></div>
LMAO, now you would compare Risto to Dahlin. These are your problems. How do you assess the defenders, maybe then you will assess including all the factors? Not selectively. Points are also an important aspect of the game, which also needs to be assessed, and there is also an eye test, and there is also an average level of the entire team, a coach, a partner with whom he plays, but if you do not watch games or consider yourself a great expert, then of course you have may not be an objective opinion. According to the metrics, Hague was better than Pietro at Vegas, does that mean he is a better player than Pietro? Object.
I cannot be responsible for the comments of other users, I just said that I never said that Tage and Mitts will be top 6 C in many teams. But I'll say it for the tenth time that I don't want to trade Dahlin for Pettersson.
Why not an argument? If you don't watch games or you have an inherently biased opinion, then this is the same argument. I watch every game and always try to judge all players objectively, but I also look at all factors for any player, not just how the defender played defensively, because there are different defenders, from Quinn Hughes to Jacob Slavin.

This and "Tage & Mitts would be a 2nd center on most teams" are pretty hilarious.
"It’s immediately obvious that you are not a Buffalo fan, stop talking nonsense"
Interesting that a poll had 41% of Sabres fans agreeing to this trade. So there are a decent amount of Sabres fans that would do this.</div></div>
This season, only 17 games have passed, he has 10 points, the first 10 games he played together with Will Butcher, whom the coach does not even release for the third period, he looks great paired with Pysyk, this is his first season in the league, where he plays as #1 D, played 27 minutes yesterday and looked great. What are you talking about?
Well you're lying, show me my quote where I said Tage and Mitts would be top 6 C in many teams. I said that they play well with us and look like top 6 C, in our team, not in Boston, not in Tampa, can you see the difference? We need Rasmus Dahlin more than Elias Pettersson because we have many good young centers with potential.
Well, this is their opinion, I have a different opinion. And obviously not all Buffalo fans are on this site.

He is playing his best season, he just had to play the first 10-12 games paired with Butcher, who is not even an NHL player. It’s immediately obvious that you are not a Buffalo fan, stop talking nonsense.
Dahlin - Pysyk pair have played the last six games together, they have not conceded a single goal when they are together on the ice and have scored 8 or 9, they start a lot of starts in the D-zone.

Goalies are also a problem now, but I'm not sure if injurys Bishop and UPL, which struggling in the AHL, will be better. Adams needed to solve this problem last season, when Hutton was the backup of traumatic Ullmark. Now he's signed 40-year-old Anderson, who didn't play a bee last season. Anderson showed himself well, but Adams could not help but understand that a 40-year-old goaltender who is almost retired is not the most reliable thing in terms of health and how many games he will play. Dell was definitely superfluous, and instead of him it was necessary to find a more competent goalie.

Well, it’s not his fault that the internet considered him the best prospect defender in the world. I think any Buffalo fan knows that from the beginning Dahlin's development was wrong with marginal coaches and a bad team. Under Granato, his stock began to rise and he began to progress in various aspects of the game. Also, we all know that development is not linear for each player, there are hundreds of different examples. Hedman and Karlsson weren't good at 20-21 years old.

These goalies are not credible. What's going on with Bishop? Can he still play? UPL has mainly fought in the AHL, so far it is difficult to believe that he will be able to be the NHL goalie next season.

Well, this is not true, even when paired with terrible Butcher, Dahlin had positive GF% and CF% player at 5v5, and with Pysyk they are even better, he does not struggling, he is progressing, compared to what was in the last two seasons.

You think Dahlin will be a more impactful player than Petey?</div></div>
Pettersson may be a more influential player right now, but he has a lot more offensive talent next to him than he does to Dahlin. Who knows what will happen in the future, but Dahlin certainly has great potential, and with a current adequate coach he has a much better chance of unleashing this potential than with the previous coach. Well he's also my favorite player.
By the way, do you think Canucks is going to trade its young 1C for some reason? Why do they need it? They have no prospects and Horvat can easily leave for UFA soon, it would be stupid of them.

I don't think trading Dahlin for Petey is a rush to win lol. A rush to win is trading prospects + picks. This is just making a smart move. It honestly favors the Sabres.
Adams seems to be making more analytically sound moves so trading Dahlin for Petey would fit that.</div></div>
22 games are basically good games too.
I do not agree, why are you trying to convince me of this?
This is a pointless argument, we will not come to an agreement here. I'm sure we will not see such an tradee, and in general, Dahlin's trade in the next two seasons.
