Im jewish tho, right? Or did we convert back?

For the 300th time, SY and Newsy both want to improve team defense. Ghost is an overpriced PP specialist, and by far the worst defender at actually playing defense on the team. He won't be back. And his PP spot will go to Edvinsson. Kane im sure is wanted back. But SY is still thinking beyond next season, and im sure is very hesitant to give a 35 year old a contract with term. Probably gone, but there remains a chance he's back. It would be VERY much like Buffalo to dump all their rebuilding money into an aged superstar like Kane and flawed defender like Ghost. Watch Kane regress to a 50 pt slow winger and the Sabres Dcorp get even worse with Ghost. They should be out investing in steady core guys like Copp and Chiarot, but Buffalo is too smooth brained for that

Chiarot and Petry being roster guys at defense creates the big problem. If we can make them 4th line forwards, it opens up a whole realm of possibilities. The SCAM needs to see this.

There's no telling when Kane's going to start falling off. For all we know it could be as soon as next season. Bringing back Ghost and moving two other guys likely still leaves Johansson as the 7th d

I'm with this. I like that Torts at least will say "This guy SUCKED tonight and make an adjustment for the next game to send a message." Lalonde is a stoolie, so that's never going to happen. Jeff Petry and Ben Chiarot go minus 4 in a 6-1 loss and are on the ice for 5 of the opponent's goals, and NOTHING CHANGES for the next game. 20 more minutes the next game together. All you have to do is watch 3 consecutive games against teams in the top 20 with a focus on what #8 and #46 do inside our blue line, and you will see that these 2 guys create 90% of this team's solvable issues. It's not like trying to solve a rubix cube or decipher hieroglyphics. It's like doing a 3 picture draw a line associating in pre-school. Match the defender to his suckiness level = 1) Seider, 2) Chiarot, 3) Petry. Answers: A) Good Defender, B) Lazy and Sucks, C) Lazy, Sucks, and Has 2 Years Left of a Terrible Contract. Draw a line to the description that fits. The SCAM put Lalonde in a no win situation. He can't just sit 10% of our salary cap and tell the GM that these 2 players aren't the best option we have. He has to play the guys the GM signs. But damn it. Torts wouldn't. Torts would be in the GM's office screaming and letting the press know that these guys gotta step up or their butts are gonna be in the press box regardless. We don't need a "nice guy" coach. We need a guy that optimizes the line up and drives them to excel. We didn't get that last year. Let's see what 2024-25 brings. Johansson and Edvinsson gotta come up. Maatta and Holl are still under contract. I have a feeling that Jeff Petry will not see the same workload. And I also think that Ben Chiarot will have his minutes reduced greatly. Those 2 things should help. Walman-Seider, Edvinsson-Johansson, Maatta-Holl would be the optimal line up as of now.

Someone get Jason Robertson glasses. Literally everytime they zoom on him hes squinting.
