Remember when Sabres fans said their team would make the playoffs this year

I don’t think it was unrealistic to hope to be competitive at least, which Is mostly what I saw. Who could/would have predicted that EVERY player would have career worst simultaneously. If a fan base doesn’t even have hope why bother

Hall does not have this value seeing how he is looking in Buffalo

I think a big factor is the coach tbh. They have the players to do well, but there seems to be a lot of tension in the room with players coming out and basically saying that the **** he says is false or off base. Also the fact that he played Risto a day after he recovered from Covid, whereas most teams give the players a few days to train and see how theyre doing. Im definitely putting this one on Krueger. Also this is funny https://twitter.com/FreeJeffSkinner/status/1368623049147359232

You’re missing Saad In that top 9 which is why you don’t do a hall deal

He made his bed by taking an additional1-2m on a year deal instead of singing with a legit contender after saying all he wants to do is win now

I don’t touch hall as a rental, there are better options for pick ups that would be better playoff battle tested. You add a legit 3c and move compher to the wing where he is best suited, it’s a better well rounded top 9..example pay a premium for Boone Jenner, or a cheaper add like haula

Landy mack rants
Saad kadri bura
Compher Jenner/haula donskoi
Nuke bellemare jost/Calvert

To be completely fair, so did I.
