Ok thanks for looking those up and correcting me, not my intent to misinform but I didn’t look up any stats etc. I remember reading after his first or second game back that he had ~20 mins of ice time (lots of pk mind you) and was second in toi for dmen that game, but maybe that was incorrect.

Admittedly, for me and I assume others, when I see him on ice I watch closely and am perhaps overly critical or at least looking for any error or flub at this point. Confirmation bias is real. That said, they occur often and there’s history. This is not an imagined narrative even if many fans are over sensitive towards it at this point.

In any case, I believe the team is better without him on the ice. Waiving him is good for the team and probably for dj too.

The game he had 20 minutes he spent over 11 minutes on the PK

No brainer, $1,666,667 buyout cost spread over 2 years! Very cheap for a money conscious franchise

If the Sabres and Wings make the playoffs, or are at least bubble teams, we'll officially be the next Sabres.

We won something after all lol

I used to wonder how teams like the Sabres, Oil, Hawks (before Kane & Toews) were mediocre for so long. I definitely have some more perspective now. I almost find it somewhat impressive how poorly managed we are.

On the bright side, it does make me enjoy watching in general a bit more because sometimes I'll pay more attention to other teams to see how the math works in terms of our playoffs odds.

I didn’t know you could waive someone without the intent of sending them down? What is the purpose, like aside from this situation with zaitsev, what is the logistic or procedural purpose to waive a player other than to buy them out or send them to the ahl? Just to give other teams a crack at picking him up?

It’s not only the 1.67 million x 2 years, it’s also the $2 million signing bonus you didn’t mention, and we already have enough dead cap money for the next 2 years.

Dorion is very good into "numbing" the masses, most people will notice a DeBrincat trade and a Giroux signing but will not see the myriads of smaller blunders that hurt us by accumulation

Just more sunk cost from the Dorion era. Fix his mess to have a fresh start

That he'd get claimed, which is delusional at best

Zaitsev is actually why we lost last night. Because he sucks, Holden had to play. But Holden sucks. He can only handle 12 minutes. That means Chabot played 32, was dog tired and sucked because he was tired. It's all Zaitsev's fault
