And for some reason you think Im defending Hutton, because I said their over all goaltending hasnt been that bad. So yeah lets put Ruotsalainen in a 10 minute a game defensive role, I'm sure he wont be on the first flight back to Finland. You are specifically who I am talking about with this title</div></div>

He's a negative to his team, a below replacement level player, and his play is trending downwards. We already have some bad players on the team. We don't need more.

You're the one who brought up Hutton with your cherry picking. Facts are that we're below average goaltending.

I would much rather have Arttu over some bum like Ryan Reaves who we'd be paying for another year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SalamiCheese</b></div><div>I said that SOMETIMES we lose games because we are physically beaten, this is not only about this season, but also the past, and under Housley it was also. Virtanen might be a good addition too, but he's already in this thread. We do not trade Montour for Reaves one for one, we add some parts that may be useful for our roster and in particular physical strength and give the best conditions for the development of Jokiharju, Dahlin and possibly Borgen.</div></div>

I'm fine trading Montour, but as a result of this trade, we are adding Reaves to the roster and giving him ice time. A player that drags down his teammates. The whole team plays exceptionally better when he's off the ice. He's exactly what the team doesn't need.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Deslauriers has been a great 4th liner, John Scott played on a team where Steve Ott was one of their top scoring forwards. Nolan was not a tough guy, youre right, and Bogosian was an absolute band aid. Reaves doesnt even have bad analytics he has better analytics than Okposo and Sheahan, so you dont even have a point to prove. Nothing I said is based in feeling, its provable across the board, only keyboard warriors are invested that much into analytics that they ignore every aspect of the game. All you have are a select group of numbers that still show he would be an improvement anyway

Take out statistical outliers, that happens often. Im sorry I guess I missed the seasons where Gaudreau and Point were stapled to the bench on the 4th line because CGY wanted more scoring forwards for the "New NHL"</div></div>


Reaves is bad analytically. He is in the bottom percentile of pretty much everything. His team plays exceptionally better when he's off the ice. There's really no reason to give a guy like him ice time. He's a below replacement level player at this point. That doesn't help our team at all. But he's tough I guess.

"Nothing I said is based in feeling, its provable across the board, only keyboard warriors are invested that much into analytics that they ignore every aspect of the game. All you have are a select group of numbers that still show he would be an improvement anyway"

The only keyboard warrior is you. You seem to get really upset when someone brings up metrics that have more specificity and predictability than your basic stats. Nothing shows that Ryan Reaves has a positive impact on the ice for a team. It's just you feel that his "toughness" is a boost, when nothing shows that.

The facts are that we are a below average team goaltender wise. The facts are Hutton has been a bottom of the league goalie for the past 2 years. You don't get to take bad games out because they don't fit your narrative. All you seemingly do is cherry pick really small sample sizes.

I guess I missed that the 5'9 Gaudreau and 5'9 Point aren't tough enough to play in "your NHL". Guys like them won't last like apparently Arttu wouldn't be able to make it in the bottom 6. Need more big oafs with little skill

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SalamiCheese</b></div><div>Again, I disagree that Reaves will be useless. He could very well be a decent fourth line player and score some points. We definitely lack rigidity. Of course, we could try to find a player who plays tough and can still fight and still score points, but do you know where to get them and how much will they cost? No one will give us Wilson from Washington or Tkachuk brothers. Again, sometimes we lose games because we are physically beaten and our team cannot respond and becomes pinched, Reaves could help to some extent and he is still a more useful player than Dalton Smith.</div></div>

We're not losing because we are getting physically beaten. We're losing because a lack of scoring from our top 6 / good goaltending.

There's nothing showing that Reaves will be beneficial to this team. There's plenty of tougher players who forecheck with some skill. Go after Sam Bennett if you want. Hell try to maybe get Virtanen back on track.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Thats clearly not what I said, theirs no reason to gaslight. If you take away his clearly outlier of a game at the start of the year that has skewed all the numbers, their goals against average is in the middle of the pack. Also adding a physical player does help this any way, as I pointed out before: Risto beat up Philly physically, took them off their game - Sabres win 6-1, Philly next night comes out mad, beats up the Sabres - Sabres lose 3-0. But no we should stick 5'9 Ruotsalainen on the 4th line, thats a perfect use of his talents, thats how teams win in "ThE nEw NhL"</div></div>

You clearly said take out the worst game of the season. That's just stupid.

It's a not clear outlier. It's how he's played the last 2 years. You want to cherry pick to fit your narrative.

Adding a tough skilled player helps. Not a useless 4th line grinder.

" But no we should stick 5'9 Ruotsalainen on the 4th line, thats a perfect use of his talents, thats how teams win in "ThE nEw NhL"

Yea who even needs talented players now a days. Johnny Gaudreau or Brayden Point? They're not tough enough. Let's get John Scott back, call up Kaleta, maybe get Rob Ray out of the booth. We'll be unstoppable. Such a tough team. Nobody's gonna mess with us now!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Reaves and Simmonds are not comparable players. Simmonds wasnt brought in to be a physical presence he was brought in for his attitude. Not only that he had like 5 games and was exceling in Toronto this year. I dont remember Reaves taking any bad penalties, I remember Eakin getting called for one and I remember Reaves scoring in the conference finals. I cant remember the last Sabres to score in the conference finals. Good teams play tough, analytic darling teams get trampled. This has been proven time and time again. TB got bounced in the first round, They go out and get Maroon, Coleman, and Goodrow then win the cup. Toronto constantly bounced in the first round. Sabres havent had tough players since Foligno and even thats a stretch, but theyve also accomplished nothing without them. Hockey evolved and so did tough players, they are still relied upon as much as they were before</div></div>

People literally said the same thing about Simmonds that you're saying about Reaves. Simmonds at the very least had some ability on the PP though.

Tough teams are analytically good teams. Maroon, Goodrow, and Coleman aren't useless grinders lmao. Those 3 were good analytically. You're kinda proving my point.

What's even considered a tough player to you? Was Bogosian not a tough guy? Was Jordan Nolan not a tough guy? What about John Scott? Or Deslauriers? Our team must've been so good with all these tough guys over the years.

This really just comes off as upset boomer yelling at the clouds. You seem to just go off how you feel compared to reality.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SalamiCheese</b></div><div>I don’t agree that. When they start playing against us physically, we sometimes melt like butter, I also don’t like that players of other teams can calmly offend our young players and they know that they will not get anything for it. I don’t want Eichel or Dahlin to go into the fray to stand up for themselves, it’s not helpful. But Reaves could answer for them, I'm sure he will be more useful than the current Okposo, which now looks awful. Holden + 3rd too useful things, I also don't care where Montour and Miller are, I don't see them in our the team next season.</div></div>

This isn't the 90s. Low skilled grinders are pretty much usless. You say Montour is usless because he doesn't play PP/PK, but Reaves doesn't either. We don't need some guy that can only play 10 minutes and doesn't offer much else except dumb penalties and fighting. If you want tough forecheckers get some guys with actual skill.
