Not to defend the Flyers buuuttt..... They most likely played more games because of the covid condensed schedule than any of those other teams on this illustrious list did. What I'm trying to say is their GA/G probably isn't in the same league as those other teams.

Re: Sabres coaching search. I actually won't be mad if they stick with Granato. He's got a far more impressive resume than the other clowns this origination has trotted at head coach for the last 10 years. And if his career hadn't been derailed by cancer back in 2005 he'd likely already be a head coach somewhere else. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/31194727/the-human-side-buffalo-sabres-18-game-winless-streak-2021

Blackbelt Bobman posted:The issues go back to when they pulled him out of college early and burned a year off his ELC to play him in like three games at the end of a lost season. Then Housley was playing him as 2C when he clearly wasn’t ready for the NHL. They should’ve sent him down to the Amerks way earlier so he could gain some confidence. But I think he’s finally got the size and skill to be a genuine NHL Center. Which is great for them, considering the issues they’ve had with that position for like a decade. Now if only they could improve at every other position, too! It took a few years but he put in the work in the gym and the kitchen, put on muscle and lost the baby fat. And he put in the work on the ice in the AHL. I was really worried he wasn’t even going to make the NHL, with how bad he looked under Housely. So if he continues on his current trajectory and ends up a 50point 2c I’d be thrilled. Dahlin unleashed and pulls off this highlight reel keep in and assist. https://twitter.com/SabresPlays/status/1379603756703158272?s=20

https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/1382370671443992581?s=20 Speculation has been rampant about Eichel injuries since he missed most of training camp with a generic UBI and then didn't look like himself most of the season. This neck injury looked like it was sustained in his last game of the season mar 7th against NYI. It would be nice to know if he had been nursing other injuries all season.

DJExile posted:Buffalo is still a far worse roster than NJ even after the deadline and they play 5 more games against Boston, 2 against the Isles, 2 against the Rags they'll be lucky to split, and 2 at Pittsburgh. If Buffalo gets 2 wins in those 11 games it will be flat out stunning. They just went 2-1-1 against Bos, wsh, Pitt. And they kept it close in the 1 loss. It’s a big IF, but IF they keep playing like this I don’t see why they can’t close out the final 11 games with at least 5-6 wins. And pass a few teams in the standings. CBJ is on a 9 game winless streak. NJ has 1 win in their last 11. Ottawa and Anaheim are also within reach. Sabres are 6-3-2 since snapping the winless streak.

ThinkTank posted:Maybe Ristolainen will finally reach his potential sometime in his 9th season! Reinhart isn't exactly a kid anymore, but he stepped up. He was 5th in goals in the NHL for the month of April(10 goals, 15points in 16 games), and he was playing at center rather than wing for the first time in his NHL career. With the corpse of Jeff Skinner and power play specialist Victor Oloffson on his line. Dahlin had 11 points in 16 games in April Mittlestadt, 13p in 16 And the young depth forwards Thompson, Bjork, Asplund, Ruotsalinen all have shown potential. Could have a nice stable of 15-20g middle 6 wingers for the first time in a decade. Cozens has looked great at times, and has had rookie struggles at others. He's much more of a power forward, tough guy kind of player than I expected. But he's still physically underdeveloped for the role, he's got to grow and get his man strength and put on some more muscle. Could really use a good defensive defenseman(Oleksiak, Larsson, Merrill, Savard are all UFA. Dunn potentially available by trade) and a goalie from free agency. And inject a healthy 95 point Eichel back into the line up and we might finally be turning the corner.

That’s gotta be a much cooler town to live in for a young kid than cold boring Buffalo I would imagine. The Ranges allegedly put an offer on the table for Eichel last offseason. Kevyn Adams turned it down. Adams is rumored to have floated the bidding starts for Eichel at the value of 4x 1st round picks, and he likely means 4 top 10 picks.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:I'm not sure relying on Reinhart as a 2C is going to a winning play for Buffalo. His production is boosted due to extra PP time and a career high shooting percentage and his underlying numbers have him taking lots of chances but giving up a ton, too.

I'd be thrilled next season with a 20th place finish in the league at like 85pts and 15th in GF. My expectations are low, but we've got to start somewhere.
