Lol why are everyone so harsh towards alex nylander? I have seen other nhl players turning the puck over constantly yet they get to play.

I seriously think there is some unjustified hatred towards the nylander brothers.

There is no hatred. There are just people who can’t handle criticism of him. I’ve acknowledged that he looks much better this season, while also continuing a lot of the issues that plagued him the last two years. The difference this season is he’s actually producing offense to compensate his errors. Hes also way more confident with the puck. I will defend my comments. I’ve been fair, both saying he’s looked better while also being realistic about his shortcomings.

You're always honest with your assessments, and I appreciate them. You're probably the one here most in-touch with the Amerks and most willing to point out good and bad.

Is Pilut starting to look better defensively? I know you said he looked a bit iffy in that regard to start the year.

Appreciate it. Not sure why I’d hate a hockey player I’ve never met. He plays for a team I want to win. I want him to do well. But I won’t sugarcoat his play. He’s pretty much the type of player who’s doing something really good or really bad. It’s just this year the good is starting to be more common.

As for Pilut, he looks better defensively already. I’ve seen him lose some physical battles. He’s been out of position here and there, but that’s expected with the new dimensions. I really like him a lot. One of those players you don’t worry when he has the puck in the defensive zone. Guhle always makes me nervous. Pilut makes the right play.

Happens right here on the sabres Larsson, Girgonsens and Nelson are turnover machines.

Hey keep the opinions and posts coming. I rarely follow the amerks aside from highlights or box scores. Having you post here is awesome, please don't stop or bother with negative posters. I find your posts very informative and I actually look for them here to read.

Perhaps, but there's the possibility that other NHL clubs also saw that Nick had some NHL potential and Justin was trending down. Maybe nobody wanted Bailey, and the Sabres knew they weren't going to keep Baptiste up but didn't want to risk losing him for nothing on waivers. :dunno:
Baptiste was placed on, and cleared, waivers before he was traded. He and Bailey were waived at the same time.

The great thing about whats happening with the prospects in Rochester is we are about to add 3 more first round picks as well as Pekar and some others real soon while we graduate some up to replace the vets that are bringing us down. We are maybe one or two seasons out from maybe actually having a team who can compete every game.

Besides Nelson, the other two represent a very small fraction of the team giveaways and turnovers. Eichel and Risto each have more than all of those players combined. Do you even watch the games? Your agenda is showing.
This is the wrong thread for this, but I've liked Girgensons in every game this season. He's never going to put up even 40 pts, but at this point, he's an ideal 4th line energy guy who will be good for 7-10 goals and 10-15 assist annually. Sacrifices his body, works his ass off. No complaints, other than that's not what you expect from a top 14 pick, but that was 2 GMs ago, so no use bitching about that.
