11Buffalo Sabres
JR Ewing - PostedLook at how much better Justin Schultz has looked in Pittsburgh, being used in a way which plays to his strengths, than he was in Edmonton, where he was asked to be Ray Bourque. He has skill, but he's simply not a minute-muncher, and deploying him like that was a huge mistake. I think you're probably right about Middlestadt and how it changes the daily lineup decisions for the coaching staff. I love balance. In a perfect world, the Sabres could even out the batting order, bu -

Tired by the blade - PostedI can't blame them for the frustration, especially jack.. I'm pretty sure every sabre fan feels the same way! It's getting old.. over and over, OLD. Five years rebuilding ???? Are you serious? It's like we have a losing culture with no end in site. Sure, keep botterill, keep the coaching staff.. we wouldn't want to disrupt our playoff drought or anything. As for jack, I would not blame the guy if he ended up wanting to leave.. and I would completely understand! He's wasting his career here unfor -

yave1964 - Posted@HockeyJunkie Good to see you back. spending all that money on the very one dimensional Skinner will set your boys back for literally years. The team could have filled three gaping holes every year for the next eight years with that money. Awful signing, i said it then, i will say it five years from now when you are still paying him. The drop off in talent from the top to the bottom is one of the highest and most steepest in the game. True superstars at th -

JR Ewing - PostedAbsolutely The goalies aren't good, but Ristolainen surrenders the blueline far too easily: he's AHL-calibre at allowing zone entries, but he's playing top pairing minutes. To me, guys like that, but who can put up some points on the power-play are my definition of guys you want to shelter. Others may have a different way of making that definition. -

ruxpin - PostedThe problem is that the Flyers hired ALL of them. I wonder what Lavvy would do there. Short-term, I think he'd get them competitive--provided they figure out goal. -
11Buffalo Sabres
ruxpin - PostedHey bud. Same as everyone else, it's good to see you back. Risto is not the problem. I agree. But Risto is emblematic of the one of the problems with Buffalo. The problem is that they're using him in a way that exposes his weakness rather than just shows and takes advantage of his strengths. He struggles on defense -- and I wholeheartedly agree that some of this is made much worse by the goalie situation. But given that he does struggle on defense, they really should adju -

radoran - PostedThe Other Rasmus can (and will and was) start to take the load off Ristolainen and let them use him in the role he is best suited. I disagree he needs to be "sheltered" - as Rick notes it would be great if the goaltending could make a stop once in a while. Lehner was swiss cheese behind anything BUT a hardcore defense-first system that sheltered him on the Island. Hutton was a cheap gamble that had so-so rewards. That said, I just really don't think Eichel is a $10M playe
