What is the Sabres W-L record with Ryan Johnson in the lineup this season?

How many of the last 10 games has Ryan Johnson played in?

The Sabres are 0-2-1 with Ryan Johnson in the lineup. I like him and he's not the difference between winning and losing right now.

What about Bryson, Jokiharju and Gilbert? I just don't understand what the problem is with keeping him on the team and playing with him.

Sabres are out of the playoffs for 15 years. Everyone on the team for 15 years isn't the difference between winning and losing.

That doesn't mean you ignore upgrades.

What about Bryson, Jokiharju and Gilbert? I just don't understand what the problem is with keeping him on the team and playing with him.

Jacob Bryson has been on this team since Adams took over. Jokiharju has been on this team since Adams took over.

The man with a 5 year plan. This is not a serious GM.

This ain't the bible but Kevyn Adams wake the f*** up.

Jokiharju is a 5-6. Bryson is not an NHL defenseman. R.. Johnson has only played 3 games but he is a better option than Bryson and Gilbert.

Why is Bryson in the lineup of R. Johnson?

Johnson's ceiling is a #6-7 and that may be optimistic. I just don't see it with him. Competes hard and all but he's not part of a solution.

Regardless, Any team that's giving anything more than 10 minutes a night to some combo of Joker, Bryson, and Gilbert isn't winning anything. These are fringe and fill ins playing minutes in the bigs without an NHL level partner that can cover their weaknesses.

Acquiring EP without trading Dahlin, Power, or Thompson would be a coup. I can’t imagine why they’d go for it

I'm just tired of watching Bryson and Jokiharju make regular mistakes, it's better to let Johnson play in the third pair.

I feel like Power would have to be part of the deal. I'm also a fan of how Byram has looked and I don't think it would be the end of the world if we moved on from Power.
