Quoting: Mwasylko34
After many tries thank you for appreciating my post. I am not into analytics and all that stuff but i have played hockey my whole life and base these trades on what i know about each player and how they play. I don't care about fancy stats and all that stuff but thank you for saying this i appreciate it and i like your opinions on the lineup.
Did you play for fun or at a competitive level?
OMW you actually form your opinion on what you see?
What is the matter with you, are you stupid?
Mike Harrington is suppose to do that for you!
How dare you disagree with Mr. Negative, Tim Murray was the best GM Buffalo ever had and I hate Botterill.
I can barely skate, but I have season tickets, attended the world cup the first time in Buffalo, go to Rochester Amerks when they are in town, love watching the "All American Challenge" when it was held here, go to the 3 on 3 competition, open practices and prospect challenge.
I try to watch as many Stanley cup games as my girlfriend will allow, LOL
Needless to say, I like watching, I only wish I could play.
I watch and form my opinions based on the eye test as you do, but use the analytics as evidence to corroborate what I see and in discussions on CapFriendly.
As I read many of the comments, I doubt people watch any Sabre games, much less other teams.
Upon reflection, I really like the Murray trade.
If you will recall Hutton started the season by setting a Sabre record for most saves to record a shut out.
Ullmark had one of the highest EVS% in the NHL last year. Plus the leagues best SV% on shots of 30 feet or more.
My point if Bales could resurrect Murray, that is huge win.
TBH, Pittsburgh may even add because Murray may have only a little more value than Hutton as he is a two time Stanley Cup winner.
His stats are dreadful a paltry 0.899 SV%.
That would be a huge win for Pittsburgh as well as they get a young Letang.
As an aside, Letang has five 40 pt seasons and Ristolainen has four.
I dread giving up Ristolainen as he gets better every year. Buffalo would look sick if the became another Victor Hedman.
