Does Dave Coulier count?
What? No they weren’t. Risto as your #1 defenseman!?!? Also, by the time Brian Gionta showed up in Buffalo in 2014, he was around 35 years old and was essentially done by 2017. If HE’S your top line winger you got problems.Man the 2017 Sabres were a decent team on paper, look at this (including the goalie).
Simple. He's a 6'5, 230 pound behemoth who is soft as baby shit because he wanted to play an offensive game and hated defending.
Eh, that just makes him a much better version of Tyler Myers IMO. As a third pairing guy you could do much, much worse.
I think Myers is much more willing to engage physically than Franson ever was.
Not by a ton IMO. Myers doesn’t really seem to hit guys unless it’s in the dirtiest way possible. He also has no clue how to use the immense reach and leverage his huge frame allows. Dude has the hockey sense of a backyard mushroom. Franson was no star but as a depth piece he contributed plenty.
Nothing irrational about that. What’s irrational is assuming that a big defenseman with a heavy shot and some flashy puck skill is a franchise cornerstone.
No, he isn't good but not as bad as you think he is either. Just like Myers.
He’s sucked every bit as bad for the Flyboys. And again, promising or not, if he’s on your top pairing, you have a bad team.
Commie seems like a nut case at this point, but him going crazy after a dude definitely means there is something substantial there.
This ladies and gentlemen is why Francis gets fired. Makes a lot of good moves, but then makes a very puzzling move that does not work out. I get it that Bylsma has had some great results in the AHL, but what makes him different compared to Hakstol? What sort of magical bean talent will Dan have to somehow make this Kraken team better when Ron was the reason why they took a step back this prior season.
Are those wrong takes? For how good of a rebound season Myers had this year, he's not somebody I would ever want to play for my team. Ristolainen is much better, but has some of the lowest IQ in the league. He's somebody I would take a chance on, but not somebody I would ever want to give a long-term contract.
He's worth every penny too. There are not many goalies that you should pay top dollar for, Shesterkin is one of them.
Does Dundon think he’s Aquilini? They lack game breakers but they’ve built a good team with a good fanbase for a smaller market sunbelt team. Why the owner is so desperately trying to destroy that is beyond comprehension
Feel bad for the fans. Sucks when an owner makes everything about themselves.
Did I read somewhere that he also lowballs everyone? Why would someone want to be a GM lite and also low pay?
I mean getting a GM position is f***ing hard. Once you lose that job it’s hard to get picky unless you’re a big name GM.Did I read somewhere that he also lowballs everyone? Why would someone want to be a GM lite and also low pay?
After how most of these GM's operate, if I'm. an owner I'm calling the shotsDid I read somewhere that he also lowballs everyone? Why would someone want to be a GM lite and also low pay?
I'll take one for the team and accept the role as it isDid I read somewhere that he also lowballs everyone? Why would someone want to be a GM lite and also low pay?
