Thread: A lot of good stuff still out there
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>If there's all this good stuff still out there for free, you really got to be wondering why a team is paying Edmonton for Foegele.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AG_sweden</b></div><div>On the behalf of all BUF fans? Why would BUF pay to get Foegele? A player by the way EDM is desperate to get rid off.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Because he's a clear upgrade to over half a roster that isn't even close to sniffing a playoff birth after how long? <strong>See below which half of the roster is he better than?</strong> At some point Buffalo will need to try to be relevant and make moves towards improving. <strong>In case you missed the point let me put some data on <a href="/users/sabresparaavida" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@sabresparaavida</a> comment, see below! </strong></div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabresparaavida</b></div><div>Forwards on the Sabres who outproduced Foegele on a ppg basis last year:
Tage Thompson
Skinner
Tuch
Okposo
Cozens
Oloffson
Asplund
Mitts
Hinostroza
Girgensons (barely, but he also paced for more goals)
Krebs
That’s 11 forwards, and with Quinn and JJP ready to make the jump after dominating the AHL last year, that would put him at the 14th forward position, just over Bjork. <strong>I have posted the information probably a dozen times, but Oiler ACGM's still think Foegele could crack the Sabre line up.[</strong>/quote] <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>We have different definitions of both "clear" and "upgrade"</div></div> Foegele would not make the Sabre line up.

$2,750,000 until 2023-24 (UFA)
37 Warren Foegele L 82 12 14 26 26/82 = 0.317 ppg

<a href="/users/Timmah007" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Timmah007</a> Which one of those four LW do you see Warren replacing?
Every one has more pp/g than he:
53 <strong>Jeff Skinner L</strong> 80 33 30 63 63/80 = 0.788 ppg
71 <strong>Victor Olofsson L</strong> 72 20 29 49 49/72 = 0.681 ppg
74 <strong>Rasmus Asplund L</strong> 80 8 19 27 27/80 = 0.338 ppg
28 <strong>Zemgus Girgensons L</strong> 56 10 8 18 18/56 = 0.321 ppg
He does not score well so he is not going to knock out Olofsson nor Skinner.
He is paid much more than Girgensons or Asplund who PK which he does not.

He does not play center so he will not replace Thompson, Krebs, Cozens nor Mittelstadt:
72 Tage Thompson R 78 38 30 68 68/78 = 0.872 ppg
37 Casey Mittelstadt C 40 6 13 19 19/40 = 0.48 ppg
19 Peyton Krebs C 48 7 15 22 22/48 = 0.46 ppg
24 Dylan Cozens C 79 13 25 25/79 = 0.317 ppg

He certainly will not replace Tuch, Quinn, Hinostroza or Okposo at RW:
89 Alex Tuch R 50 12 26 38 38/50 = 0.760 ppg
21 Kyle Okposo R 74 21 24 45 45/74 =0.608 ppg
29 Vinny Hinostroza RW 62 13 12 25 25/62 = 0.403 ppg

<a href="/users/Funksoljah" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Funksoljah</a> I just read Timmah007 posts and came across your fun fact that Foegele had the worst +/- among all Oiler skaters.
More rational why he would not find a spot in the Sabre line up.</div></div>

Thread: A lot of good stuff still out there
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Funny part is people get bent out of shape over this and completely miss the point I've tried to make. I want buffalo to stop accepting being terrible and make an effort to turn it around. Spending to the floor after failing the fans for how long now? I just don't get how fans find that OK. Buffalo fans should be up in arms. Look at what Ottawa has done they started rebuild after buffalo was already questionable and they are already a significantly better team adding quality players. Why can't buffalo start to go down that path? Instead spend to the floor and hope for lottery to solve everything? From everything I heard buffalo is an awesome place to live should be a fairly desirable market for players to go but it's the lack of effort from the organization to make it desirable. As much as I come off hating buffalo it's truly not even the case want to see steps towards being relevant.</div></div>

What does adding better players have to do with adding another extra forward to get paid a lot to not play?

Thread: Report Buffalo Wanted Kasper Tried to Trade Up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Old_Snowman</b></div><div>Kasper &gt; Peterka. Here’s why.
Peterka draft year 7G 4A 11pts in DEL
Kasper draft year 7G 4A 11pts in SHL

Comparing SHL to DEL is like comparing NHL to SHL. Kasper put up the same stats in a much tougher league at the same age. When Kasper is Peterkas age he’ll be much more valuable than he is right now. Hence why Kasper was taken 8th and Peterka was taken 34th...saying Peterka is a better prospect than Kasper just reveals how uneducated you are.</div></div>

This is just silly. Time didn't end when Peterka was drafted. He has elite potential and a game style that will fit the nhl. Can't remember exactly but I believe it was 7g and 5a in 10 playoff games with the Americans. That is beyond impressive for a kid that just turned 20 in season.
