Confirmed with Link: Buffalo Sabres sign C Cody Eakin to a 2 year deal worth $2.25M AAV

[UnleashRasmus]

I absolutely love this signing for Buffalo , he had an off year last year on a very very deep Golden Knights team but when he got traded to Calgary his stats were very promising and had 5 points in 8 games . And let’s not forget he is one year removed from having 21 goals and 41 points in 78 games . As long as he gets the ice time I fully expect him to return to that production and with only a 2.25m cap hit I LOVE THIS SIGNING .

great job Adams !!! You rebuild our centre position in one offseason something Botterill couldn’t do in 4 years .

and this lets Middlestadt develop in the minors

I want what you're having? Is this beer goggles?

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Oh please lol

My anger has seethed over

My anger has seethed over

i have been there

just beer will do the trick

At this point, the idea of them being good has been replaced by the "more likely" scenario that I figure out how to make enough money to buy this team.




I wish I was kidding.

So at this point you don't have more than 2 nickles I gather....... lol

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

They're really stressing analytics these days.

The graphs and stats are likely too complicated for them to understand.

So they are returning to hunches and insider gossip.
And the good old boy informal scouting network .......

Face it guys. This franchise is lost......

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

They were holding the charts upside down

Nah.... they went with the negative images and got their color order reversed.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

This is a pipe dream. He's washed up over the hill trash. I hope he ends up failing so it further shames this franchise. We don't deserve to win when we overpay bottom dwindling garbage like Cody Eakin. I have nothing against Cody, he just accepted a deal. You're maybe worth 925K.

Yeah that's what players who recognize they are nearly washed up do. They see if they can squeeze just one more year out and it dawns on them..... Hey, try the Sabres!!!

 

[MarkusKetterer]

They’re trying to keep us guessing

The hypotheses/60 cannot be quantified on public charts! We’re just no efficient and authentic enough

 

[buffalojedwardo]

Eakin is better than Larry with the role he'll be taking.

 

[Buffaloed]

Hot take: PHam was right. We overvalued Larsson big time. Around the league he's not valued nearly as high as we thought he was. It doesn't mean we were wrong. It just means that nobody else agrees with us.

man the guy scored 21 goals 1 season ago . Was in Peter Deboers dog house last season but when he got traded to Calgary his production was outstanding with 5 points in 8 games until Coronavirus shut down the rest of the season .

a 30-40 point player is who you want and perfect for the 3rd line . It blows my mind that people are so down .

Uhm, he's not that good, and he was on the Vegas Golden Knights. These teams are night and day different. Eakin is a completely average player at best. He's not that good. Sorry to call it.

were the Dallas Stars teams that good when he was averaging 35-40 points a year ?

And remember he went to Calgary last year and found his scoring touch again with 5 points in 8 games . Sadly Coronavirus ended his great rebound

he is the perfect 3rd /4th liner

So you're saying Larsson will be winning the Conn Smythe

Correction but still

[Fjordy]

Can you watch the same for the 18-19 season?

 

[Steddy33]

This signing sums up the Buffalo Sabres.


This organization is f***ing clown shoes

 

[1TuchAnd1NoTuch]

If he's our 3C I hate it. If he's our 4 C, it's fine

I don't have access to those RAPM charts but his heat maps have been posted and show he has been bad his entire career.

 

[KeyserSoze81]

Eww. Hopefully the season gets cancelled, I really don’t want to watch this team.

 

[Ralonzo]

They're really stressing analytics these days.

Feels like halfway analytic is the way they're going.

Like the first 4 letters.

 

[Buffaloed]

I don't think we give Krueger enough credit for LOG. He gave those guys a system where they could understand their role and got them to buy in. If he can do the same with Eakin and Rieder, the Sabres are a better team. I think Eakin is more talented than Larsson, but Larry performed more efficiently because he could focus on single role.
