It is, but I’m also trying not to revel in it too much because it’s not out of the question we wind up in the same position.sabers being this bad in year 500 of their "rebuild" is hilarious
I dont mind upgrading Strome.... or him being stuck as a 3rd liner.So then… fire Strome?
Next few games is vs bad opponenta as well. Likely that we win some of thoseBuffalo should be ashamed.
I cannot believe we went 2-2 on this trip.
That was a pretty bad showing again but a win is still a win i guess.
Really sad/scary thing is that he's our 5th highest point-getter currently.I dont mind upgrading Strome.... or him being stuck as a 3rd liner.
Strome is absolutely fine as a 3rd line vet presence. He also has around 6 fights since becoming a duck, and each fight as I remember lit a fire under our team. We are losing silf Henrique and probably carrick too. We need some veterans in the lineup. Also isn’t guaranteed that Vatrano resigns after his current deal.Really sad/scary thing is that he's our 5th highest point-getter currently.
Yeah I'm just commenting that we slam Strome (and sometimes rightfully so) but he's still one of our highest scorers. I also do think he's a great locker room presence and it's definitely nice that even as he's not an enforcer he definitely sticks up for his teammates. Agreed we need some vet presence and with other guys potentially on the outs (sad for Uncle Rico), we can't really afford to move a lot of others at this point.Strome is absolutely fine as a 3rd line vet presence.

The guys im worried about is Lundy. Was hoping hed be more of a lock as our future 3c, but right now hes lookin more like a 4c.Yeah I'm just commenting that we slam Strome (and sometimes rightfully so) but he's still one of our highest scorers.

And they need to prepare for the future when the kids need raises, can't just go grabbing a bunch of guys from free agency, and I hope they don't start moving our prospects or any more young kids yet (outside of Groulx).
I dont mind him that much, kinda the Henrique replacement.. versatile player that can play wing/center.I don’t think Strome has a ton of value with his contract being what it is. We’re stuck with him
He looked good for a few games with Mac and Silf. Maybe wing is the longterm solution for him. Either with McTavish if we run 3 scoring lines or Gaucher if the 3rd line is a defensive line. I like Carlsson, Zegras, McTavish down the middle, but seems like Cronin wants Z on the wing with Carlsson.The guys im worried about is Lundy.

I feel for the Sabres-fans. That team has been such a tirefire for so long now and nothing ever seems to change.It really goes to show how bad the Senators and Sabres are. Does it make me feel a little better about Anaheim? Not really, lol.
most of the sabers fans i've encountered on here have been absolute assholesI feel for the Sabres-fans. That team has been such a tirefire for so long now and nothing ever seems to change.

Sure…let’s take the one guy who’s been somewhat consistently scoring goals this year and put him with 2 offensive duds.I'd actually like to see a Vatrano-Lundy-Strome. That kinda reminds me of Comtois-Lundy-Rakell. Lundy can do the heavy work and be defensively responsibly with anyone he plays with. He's one of five Ducks who have played at least 10 games to be +0 or above. Gudas, Lindstrom, Silf, and Vaak are the other four.
As for position, I think Lundy is our best 3C and probably our best defensive forward who has improved his FO Pct to 52.4%. And with the presumed departure of Silf and Rico, we're gonna be missing some defensive savvy forwards. I don't want to gamble on gifting Gaucher the 3C position at the NHL level next year.
It’s always the most random RHD that ends up working well with Fowler. (I’m thinking Lovejoy) Is that happening with Lindstrom?I'll admit it, Fowler looks pretty good so far.
