Jacob always good info on the Sabres. Good articles and accurate analysis.
good stuff
Sign Patrick Kane and trade for Hellebuyck is the optimal path to the cup for a young talented team with a foundation that's authentic to the depth needed to be legitimate. Good luck Sabres Special Teams and +/- consistency is key to a 100+ season. ๐
Very good shout on Novikov and Kozak, Novikov and Rosen were the best players over the three games. I dsagree on Savoie, I tought Kulich and Rosen were better. Savoie is week to week apparently. Benson was a strange one, I agree that offensively he was very hit and miss, but his defensively play was good. I thought Ratlzaff was very poor against Montreal but better against Pittsburgh. The invite goalie in the Jersey game outperformed him. Kisakov is an enigma. You can see he has the skill, but his slight frame lets him down. Another disappointment was Johnson. He is further away from the NHL than I had hoped.
