I mean from other teams' perspectives when they're looking at making trades. Buffalo already has to overpay in trades because they can't attract free agents but still need to fill certain roster spots with players they don't have internally. From an internal perspective they needed a guy like Helenius. But if you're another team looking at their depth chart, they have a lot of similar players already, and can't conceivably keep all of them.
You realize that Savoie was projected to be the same thing initially? Now people are realizing he won’t be. Helenius is a smallish center without elite skating. Not exactly a player style teams are trying to load up with for their fourth line.
Did you miss Savoie for McLeod?
I was going to join the common sense answers to your nonsense parade but a cursory glance at your posting history shows a several years long commitment to shitting on Buffalo for everything. More than I’ve ever seen another team’s fan about a team that wasn’t there’s. So, instead, why don’t you just tell us when you’re going to wrap it up here and move on to bitching about how they play two anthems so the rest of us can discuss a team with zero right shot centers in the system drafting one you deem small as a 190 pound 17 year old putting up strong production in a men’s league. Save us the time.
Savoie was never seriously considered a two-way forward, his defense was always a major weakness. Some people liked his hustle and were optimistic.
There’s no point. It’s not why he’s here. He knows full well there’s a trade thread he can shit in. He’s here because it’s not enough for him. Just stop responding.
You got me red handed. I hate your team and I hate it because you’re a fan of the team.
Right, but I’m just saying the same types of things were said about Savoie. He got Crosby comparisons. It is always difficult for smaller and non elite skating forwards to project well into an NHL lineup if their offensive game doesn’t translate.
He's going to play at like 210 pounds when he's a man and folks are calling him small.
This is my first time in years I have actually seen a single person mention his defense being an issue.
You realize Sabres fans don't consider Rangers a rival and have never had animosity towards them. NYC is 372 miles away. Someone's still salty about game 5, 17 years ago.
I think his offense is being under sold good shot, instincts/vision and all around skating ability I could see lindholm also I believe liiga is one of the lower scoring leagues for draft eligible players.
