1/3 season mark; rank your team's top 10 performers so far (including goalies)

[dgibb10]

1. Jack
2. Nico
3. Bratt
4/5. Siegenthaler-Kovacevic (it's hard to separate them)
6. Luke
7. Noesen
8. Timo
9. Allen
10. Dougie

I would value Pesce over either of the goalies tbh (unless you're discounting him for the fact that he missed a part of the season).

I also think you're underrating Dougies impact on the power play

Yes Markstrom's the #1. Allen's been the better goalie. Markstrom's mediocre.

All expect Markström.

 

[wintersej]

Pfft.

1. H Lindholm (but then he got hurt)
2. Marchand
3. Pasta
4. McAvoy
5. Brazeau
6. Zacha
7. Kastelic
8. E Lindholm
9. Korpisalo
10. Zadorov

But, to be clear, Pasta, McAvoy, Zacha, E Lindholm have been very very disappointing. Nevermind guys like Swayman, Coyle, Carlo, Frederic, Geekie, etc who have been so bad they didn’t even make this turd list. Can’t remember the last time I saw everyone turn into a pumpkin all at once.

It's challenging, with the way the Sabres season is trending, but here goes.

1. Dahlin - I still want more out of him, but clearly our best player. Been injured the last few, continuing his season-long struggle with back spasms.

2. Tage - he's Tage. Can be an absolute force. Still working on the defensive side of his game, and using his size along the boards.

3. UPL - he's 6Ks to us. Needs to be more consistent. Can flop too much and lose pucks at his feet, but rounding into a legit starter at 25.

4. Zucker - surprisingly good acquisition by Adams. Just an all-round pro who's fit like a glove wherever Ruff has played him.

5. Greenway - was injured for a few weeks. Brings a combo of size, speed, physicality, defensive chops, and tenacity not found among our other forwards.

6. Benson - only 19, and not yet a consistent producer, but arguably the forward who most reliably makes the smart play. Compete level is off the charts.

7. Tuch - he's got all the tools to be a star. Maddeningly inconsistent, and prone to bonehead decisions. Often misses the net on great looks.

8. Power - need to see a lot more from him defensively and in utilizing his massive frame. Effortless skater who just turned 22. Still developing.

9. McLeod - has played effectively up and down the lineup. A burner, as advertised. Decent production.

10. Clifton - not much skill, doesn't always make the right decision. He'll step up on opposing forwards and gives everything he's got. Rating him too high here, but can't help but like him. Sue me.

I don't really follow the Sabres that much, but after his start to the season, I would have expected Peterka somewhere in there. Has he really fallen off that hard?

I don't really follow the Sabres that much, but after his start to the season, I would have expected Peterka somewhere in there. Has he really fallen off that hard?

1G 1A in his last 11 games. Feeling the pressure - anecdotal, but had 2 wide-open, one-timer looks from the right dot against the Rangers; fanned on both. Not exactly a force in other parts of the game to make up for the lack of production.

He had one 2nd period shift in that Rangers game. Expect him to be a healthy scratch soon to let Quinn, an even bigger disappointment, back into the lineup.

You'll have to make do with Drai, Stutzle, and Seider for now. ;-)
