Haha ok buddy. Buffalo was just a dumpster fire in terms of PK and Faceoffs which are the two things that Beagle provides so it could literally be any other team that needs those qualities, at a relatively cheap cost, for a 7th round pick.
I agree. I have been watching the Beagle trades for some time.
This is by far the most favorable for the Sabres.
If they could have killed one more penalty in any number of games, they would have been in the preliminaries.

It’s Krueger’s system. They had good players on the PK Girgenson, Larson,Lazar,Vesey. I do agree they need to improve on the Face-off circle.
Or lack of a system.
You probably have read my rant about Krueger many times as I am disgusted with him.
He was Botterill's biggest mistake.
Eight players all had career worse seasons Miller, Montour, Vesey, Sheary, Rodrigues, Hutton, Okposo and of course Skinner.
Coaches are suppose to make the players better not bring out the worse in them.
Imagine adding Miller, Jokiharju, Johansson, Vesey and Montour for an entire season and having the team perform worse than the previous year.
You make a great point about Sobotka winning face offs, but why have him on the same line as Skinner?
Put Sobotka with Larsson and Girgensons instead of Okposo.
BTW
Have you watched the playoffs?
Have you noticed the difference with their PK and the Sabres?
We need a new PK and PP coach.
