I found great synonyms for "awful" on the new Thesaurus.com!Morrissey for Okposo and Nylander.
just lol.Morrissey for Okposo and Nylander.
ROR's analytics suggest that he is much more than Little, who is a two-way 2C in his own right. He performed very well in terms of shot metrics with very little help in Buffalo, especially compared to his teammates. Combined with his long-term contract, he carries heaps of value. Vesalainen and Little are not close to ROR, even if both are good in their own right. Also, Little has a NMC.
It's a shame ROR makes too much for us to acquire him this summer.
Good points all around. I must admit, though; I'm very high on ROR.Agreed overall that ROR is better without doubt. I see Little as a good 2C and ROR as a low end 1C (depending on what you value most, could rate him higher). It would be very interesting to see how ROR would do on the Jets. Without question Littles NMC would be a problem, highly doubt he would waive to leave a contender to go to the Sabres. The whole idea or point of bringing up Littles name to begin with is just to show people there is no chance the Jets Trade a basket full of good prospects for ROR.....the point was to show they would need to take contracts back as well.....not actually advocating trading Little & Ehlers.
just lol.

Trading any (or, one at most) of our top 5 prospects would be very short-sighted. Every contending team needs to have the benefit of vastly underpaid players contributing, whether that means having excellent long-term deals or a bunch of ELCs. A Vesalainen or a Samberg can 'save' a couple of millions on his own in a matter of years.
I love reading comments like this. Good for a laugh.
A poster that very likely has no idea what said player is like in real life commenting on their character and who they are as an individual.
It’s funny you mention “character profile” in regards to player selection, yet had Evander Kane (a player with much more evidence in causing internal issues) on your roster for quite some time.
pretty sure the Sabres young players are fine...and i'm pretty sure our top producing forwards aren't in charge of holding up one of the worst bottom 6 and defensive cores in the league. O'Reily isn't a problem at all and neither was Kane...in fact how can anyone argue against these guys when they are/were working harder on the ice than any other Sabre? Kane didn't hold back SJ either and had a pretty good playoff run with them. I'd blame the management a lot more when guys that are terrible like Beaulieu get to play more than guys like Antipin that made the Sabres defense respectable when he was playing but instead they put together terrible options and had Sam waste away early in the season stuck on the 3rd line with nobody.We inherited him from ATL, you guys willingly traded for him once he was outed for being a dirtbag. Buffalo is becoming the Oakland Raiders of the NHL by taking slime like Kane and Ryan "Double Double" O'Reilly. Don't you wonder why their young players don't develop like the rest of the league?
Yeah. Sabres likely don't take it because of Nylanders upside. Jets would Have to add I assume?

... A player that came with the franchise when TN bought the team. Then we suckered the Sabres into taking him because of his poor character. True North places a very high value on a player's character and Kane would never have been a draft target for TN.It’s funny you mention “character profile” in regards to player selection, yet had Evander Kane (a player with much more evidence in causing internal issues) on your roster for quite some time.
