Partially due to the Sabres not being willing to waive Eric Comrie. He's just a guy - the effort he put in for the end of last season after he hit waivers just hasn't been there this year either.

He just didn't have the athletic abilities or standout skill that would've made him a successful NHLer. When he was on the Avs it always felt like his skating was just a little less explosive and a little slower than he needed it to be to make the plays he wanted to.
Happened? He never had "it" to begin with. He left college too early and is your prototypical "good at everything, but standsout at nothing" sort of player. He's too slow, not agile enough, and not smart enough to make space for himself. If you can't make space, you will be deemed a negative NHL player. Newhook has the same problems.
I cringe whenever a team takes a player straight from the BCHL high in the 1st round.

I do wonder if his career would've turned out different if he had stayed an extra year in the NCAA. I still think that should've been the move, but the team was so desperate for anything positive at the time.

You musta cringed hard when the Avs took a player high in the first round out of the AJHL then.

i thought he needed time to fill out when he was drafted and was confused how he ended up in the nhl d+1.
If he was good at everything I don’t think he would be on waivers.
Or even good at anything.

You could do 4 years at Harvard and still end up being Jimmy “Jimmy Vesey” Vesey.

I know Habs lack roster spots but this is the exact sort of claim Hughes would make if his roster allowed lol
I wish we could waive our owner, coach and everyone in between along with Jost. Damn team is a clown show with a toxic culture. When I became a Sabres fan we had Hasek in net and Mogilny was scoring at will. Today they're an embarrassment
I don't see how you can root for such a nothing as a player. Was it to cheer when he got his one goal a year as a meme? Guy doesn't belong in the NHL at least not on this roster. Maybe he'll flourish somewhere else. Wish he was never on the team.
There’s always a significant risk drafting guys playing Junior A in their draft year. Makar wasn’t any different.
Makar was probably the biggest boom or bust draft pick there’s been in the last 25+ or so years. The closest I can think of was Gilbert Brule. Ridiculously talented but never seen such a more unpolished, fundamentally flawed player at the junior level. Another was Mittlestadt being drafted out of high school hockey.

Eh, he was never really the problem ( or solution) imo, but I like the guy. Feels like a weird move, but I think it’s just numbers. Feels a bit E-rod-esque, but I think Jost will always be a tweener, despite the draft position. Fun guy to watch on occasion, but he’s more offensive than balanced and the offense ain’t worth it.
