2019-20 Roster Speculation Pt. 8

[Caroline Says ll]

We had a bad period against Florida. Many good teams over the past two seasons have had bad periods against us. Rarely any team has a perfect game anymore.

Ideally we want to reduce periods like that, but we should not be looking more into it then what it is.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

mitts will get decent wingers once risto is traded. Risto getting 25+ minutes a night and looking solid to boost his stock. My intel says deal will be done by the new year

It’s like people forget that these teams are made of humans. Tampa was a stone cold killer of a team last year. Well they just lost to Ottawa. Just because a good team has a bad period or two doesn’t mean they are a sinking mess.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

So since Joker has been pretty much told he will be sticking with the Sabres, what does that mean for us when the other guys become healthy. Majority thought he would be going down.

PS: Joker for Nylander trade looking looooooopsided

 

[Buffaloed]

Nevertheless, the team was at the top of the table and then fell off the cliff. Now we have started well, but 5 games is too small to draw serious conclusions, and even for these 5 games there were disturbing moments of the past seasons.

They played 2 years under Housley and 5 games under Krueger.

So, in the most Buffalo bit of news ever:

My cousin, who lived next to Bogosian, told my uncle who told my dad that the Sabres are shopping Ristolainen.

And yes, my dad actually told me this on the phone last night.

I'll be spreading out more hot news takes from my Insiderrrrrr sources as the season goes on.

 

[Goathead]

It’s gonna be nice when our D is healthy. Good play for Botts not to cave in the offseason. Teams are gonna be calling for D and he’ll probably get a better return then he would have.

When Pilut is healthy he'll play in Rochester.
When Montour is healthy, Lazar goes back to Rochester.
When Sheary is healthy, Gilmour will be sent down. He'll have to clear waivers. There will be much complaining by fans. Since he hasn't played a minute, I see it as most likely.
When Bogo is healthy, worlds collide.
I recall in preseason that Krueger mentioned he likes carrying 8 dmen on his roster.

Explains the 30 scouts at the Sabres game the other night.

My #supersecretsabressource told me those scouts were here to watch a Sabres player. And eat wings. And beef on weck.

That was Cub Scout Day

 

[SundherDome]

I wonder what Minny would want for Foligno...

 

[Der Jaeger]

You all are going to be super shocked and eating crow when Ristolainen returns way more than you think.

RHD, young, offensive, great contract for production, physical, graduate of the Tre White School of Goaltending Advance Celly
program.

Going to return a haul.

 

[DJN21]

I wonder what Minny would want for Foligno...

Bring him back!

 

[Djp]

Most teams have so so 20-25 game stretches in a season who make the playoffs.

Tampa had some roster change so they have to rebuild chemistry

There also were few nhl games. Many scouts in southern Ontario.

Don’t read much into this.

“My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend, heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with a girl that saw Bogo pass out at Lake Effect Ice Cream last night...I guess it’s pretty serious”

 

[Dreakon13]

I wonder what Minny would want for Foligno...

A slightly more used Marco Scandella and an autographed Jason Pominville stick?

 

[joshjull]

As soon as Krueger shortens the bench with Vesey on Jack’s line it’s shut down time. The reaction from the players to that has been panicking. In the Panthers game it was a hair on fire levels of panic.

That’s definitely a problem that needs cleaning up.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Its crazy to think we still have Montour and Pilut waiting to come back from injury

There is no reason why Botts can't flip some defence to get a top 6. Imagine replacing Sobotka with a competent 25 goal scorer.

Botts has an opportunity to turn this team into a very strong playoff team.

I didn't understand benching Olofsson for Vesey in the third period when Vesey hasn't shown a thing. Seemed like a strange decesion.

I did like that Kreuger turned to Olofsson and Dahlin in overtime showing he has confidence in the two.

At this point, I'd hope they would try to step on a team that's down with a full offensive press than to play a shell game. It seems they're more confident in how they play when they're attacking. There will be plenty of time to work on how to do the chess match later.

So, what happens when Montour is back???

Because I'm not ready to split up any pair right now....
