Maybe best arm talent for the Buffalo bills
There’s 2 all timers who played in his division that are better throwers
𝟛𝟙@maxstraps_
17 is genuinely the best arm talent the league has ever seen
English
@OinkFish_Pigs I mean he’s absolutely a better “arm talent” than Brady. Marino is debatable but I’d lean Allen. I think throwing on the run absolutely has to qualify as part of arm talent and he laps those two by miles
English
I to this day, cannot believe my team fucked up the Jack Eichel era so god damn badly.
We’d be cup champs this year if everything else was the same and he was here
English
@NotTheJoeMarino I don’t hate him. But I certainly don’t trust him. I have 0 idea which UPL we get next year. I’m fairly certain I know which Lyon we get.
English
Argh, I hate to say it but Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is becoming so overhated that he’s going to be underrated very fast
And I’m not even that big of a fan of his
English
You mean an epically bad offseason where your roster contains 6 NHL’ers and the worst blueline in the league? I’m good
WGR 550@WGR550
Sabres fans brace yourselves.... Are the Sabres in position where a Tim Murray style offseason is called for? Jeremy and Joe explain why it might not be the worst plan.
English
Can’t understand anyone that really feels confident in this group of goalies next year.
I like Lyon, but UPL is the opposite of what you want if you’re a contending team just needing slightly above average net play.
Hes a total wild card
x - A a r o n@23sabres
I decided to check the numbers on this and here is where UPL’s ranks among goalies in each respective season in Sv% above expected (min 1250TOI) 22-23: 37/40 23-24: 7/41 24-25: 35/37 25-26: 14/42 Really has been a coin flip so far
English
@michaeldsheedy @PierreVLeBrun @TheAthletic Personally I'm over it I don't really care. We both know how bad he was and he's no longer here. The reason the Sabres are finally good is that they eventually matured on their own with no help of Adams who made it a mission to constantly have the youngest NHL roster
English
@SeanBroadley87 @PierreVLeBrun @TheAthletic If fanbase shifts into an era of Adams relitigation and apologia for foreseeable future I’m probably going to stop following lol. Dude was responsible for nearly destroying my fandom and frankly did so for many others, just have no interest in him remaining the main character
English
NEW for @TheAthletic, Kevyn Adams in his first interview since his firing as Sabres GM. On how happy he is for the team and the fan base for the season they had, on the vindication of the roster he built, on lessons learned as well from his tenure, and on what lies ahead ⤵️

@LNeaverth95590 I’m more in agreement on Helenius than the other two.
All 3 could be
But for example someone brought up Nico Hischier as a trade option. None of those three would be untouchable in that scenario for me
English
Feels like were at a point again with the Sabres where a bunch of people are going to over rate the prospects and under rate full time NHL'ers they can possibly acquire.
Helenius, Ostlund, Kulich are excellent pieces. But if you can turn one of them into an impact player...
English
@michaeldsheedy @PierreVLeBrun @TheAthletic Whoa man, he was only handed Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson when he started along with having Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart as trade chips. It’s incredible it only took him 6 years to build a competent roster. Toronto should hire him asap
English

@PierreVLeBrun @TheAthletic Awful GM. Save me w/the “vidication” utter nonsense. Taking 6 years to build a team that makes playoffs is absurdly bad, not to mention it only did so after he was fired b/c he was an accountability block, culture scourge (and culture was his mandate upon hiring).
English
Byram has become maybe my favorite player outside of Dahlin.
Just love how much of a gamer he is. Need to resign him
Mike Harrington@ByMHarrington
Jarmo said he told Bo Byram today they’d like to lock him up for a long time. Believes top 4 is one of the best in the league. #Sabres
English
@23sabres I just think that Tuch is a large reason why the forward core looks stacked.
You remove him…then let’s say you have an injury…then let’s say Helenius doesnt immediately look like a top 6’er next season. The forwards don’t look so hot
English
@SeanBroadley87 Those contracts are interesting bc you had one that didn’t work out very well, and you had one that worked out very well for 5 years before he became bad and they had to buy him out
Also Briere’s peak was a 1C with 95p and PPG playoff player, not surprised there was outrage
English
Now that I’m kinda done overreacting to Alex Tuch’s second round performance, I can confidently say he should absolutely chase that bag from another team
He will 100% get more money (per year) than what makes sense from the Sabres. A fine outcome for both parties
Matthew Bové@Matt_Bove
Alex Tuch: I’m going to do whatever is best for myself & my family……I don’t know how the talks are going to go & I don’t know the future.”
English
Logan Stanley was fine. And the deal looks like a steal compared to Justin Faulk and a few others that were made
Andrew Heaters@AndrewHeaters
I’ve seen some hate/concern on Jarmo regarding his trade for Stanley and Schenn. He was trying to add some beef to this lineup to compete in a series with bruisers like the Lightning. Took a big swing for Robby Thomas and Parayko but both fell through. Stanley and Schenn were fellas on expiring deals that were bruisers that could hopefully answer the bell if a series came down to that. Bruins and Habs series didn’t have any of that. I do think they will need to add some additional beef in the offseason as both the Lightning and Panthers are coming fellas. And you’re gonna need to defend your turf and your stars. #LetsGoBuffalo
English
@islanders_takes You can absolutely luck your way to a game 7 win. Which you did. But overall the series getting to 7 wasn’t luck
English
You don't "luck" your way through a 7 game series. Especially not twice.
MTL won. They won because they deserved to win. The problem with xG and all this brainrot that's come from it is that people are losing sight of the fact that hockey is a game of swings and moments.
This is likely just some TOR ragebait but the reality is that saying MTL should have been beaten on the strength of xG could easily be flipped into a criticism of players on the other team for failing to finish.
One team executed where it mattered. The other did not.
English
@23sabres Remember when the Sabres had an absolutely loaded forward core in 2005-06? Then a year later let two vets walk out the door? I’m not saying a Tuch contract will workout…but I’m not 100% confident his absence isn’t immediately felt and harder to replace than imagined
English
If the Sabres can swing Robert Thomas, and the package has to include 1 of or both Ostlund/Helenius my answer might change
But that secondary core coming in is going to be way more valuable in a few years than Tuch, maybe even by late next year
English
@HankVenture5 Hahaha imagine making this connection. Fucking morons
English
The same people who shrieked incessantly about how $25/hr was absolutely necessary for menial zero skill work are now confused about why a value meal costs $15, a car costs $35K and a house costs $500K
English
@MattKopnak What I want is for Ruff to not have to make goaltending decisions in May.
People keep quoting the last four goalies. How many of those 4 has split time with another goalie in the postseason? Colorado changed for 1 game. Carolina no, Vegas no, Montreal no.
English
@SeanBroadley87 Saros has been bad for years so I don’t think you want to add him. Swayman, Oettinger and Dostal were drafted by their teams.
Vladar was a backup basically until this year and you said you want to avoid guys like that.
Thompson is good name.
English
The Devils traded a 1st (18OA) for Jacob Markstrom two years ago. It was a big name goalie moving to an up and coming team. The piece that would make them contenders.
Since the trade he has posted
Sv%
.900
.883
GSAx
7.8
-2.12
And has had multiple injuries.
English
@MattKopnak But unlike the Devils, and other teams who have made moves like this…the Sabres have the D core already set. They have the system and coach set. Now they need saves.
Also why is Swayman, Oettinger, Vladar, Saros, Thompson, Dostal excluded? Any one and we could be in Carolina
English
Unless you are getting Sorokin, Shesterkin, Vasilevskiy or Hellebuyck
You really are just spinning a wheel and hoping to land on a winner
English

Yup.
I wonder how Lindy sees it: 3 years ago he was RIGHT where he is now after a 112-point season with a supposedly rising young team in NJ ... without a true No. 1 goalie.
The next season he could not get a save and was fired after 61 games and NJ hasn't made playoffs since.
Owen Parker 🥅@OwenP29
@NotTheJoeMarino My concern with this thought process is the muddy middle of goaltending in the league is so so inconsistent. Going out and getting another guy similar to what they have now could easily yield the same results. A true STUD is the only way to avoid that question mark.
