He's the Brassard now

Is Mika starting to slow down?

He’s playing with Jimmy Vesey and Brett Berard right now. He’s the only top 6 player on his line.

I think him slowing down compared to his 90 point season is part of it but there’s more to it. Team is not playing well and can’t find chemistry. Zib is a streaky player to begin with. The type of player who’ll have 20 points in 10 games then go blank for the next 5. Confidence is probably low when on a skid like that. He’s still a 70 point guy but he’s having a rough start.

Ever since that Larry Brooks article…

before that

That’s the thing though isn’t it, there’s no reason to believe or disbelieve me.
I’m not here to be a gaslighting contrarian.

wow, you must be really important..... keep up the good work.

His most common F linemates this year are Kreider (230+ mins) and R. Smith (222+). He's next most common F linemates are Panarin (72+) and Lafreniere (53+).
His most common D linemates this year are Miller (133+) and Fox (128+).

These are all at 5v5 and he has 359+ minutes total this year.

With Vesey, he's played ~13 minutes this year and with Berard ~40.

He had 25 points at 5v5 last year and he's on pace for about the same this year.

lol

1. There is nothing implying my importance, unless of course you feel my highlighting your gaslighting etc is important work.

2. thats funny & ironic coming from the same guy who thought it was important and impressive to let me know you’ll be golfing in Florida this winter.

Sabres are a disaster. I hope Ottawa can get Peterka off them, especially if Adams does any panic moves to try and save his job.

I can't even single out what's wrong with Buffalo. Is it the Pegula's? Is it Adams being poor at roster construction? This new batch of young players not good enough?

Imagine losing a player like Eichel because you wouldn't let him get a procedure that wouldn't negatively affect his quality of life in the future.
