Friedman: Sabres won't sell low on Girgensons

[Sabresfansince1980]

3/4 C's with very little offense aren't worth much. I keep hearing about his great defensive play but his own coach won't even put him on to help a putrid PK.
He's Anton Lander without the elite FO skills

You just keep believing that Bylsma knows exactly what he's doing if you think it confirms your opinions.

IN related news, 57special, "refuses to date any more supermodels."

From the guy who said "Mark Pysyk is not good at breakout passes", "Girgensons is not actually good defensively" doesn't have much value.

I'd give him up for a 3rd, he's been a complete joke recently. **** him.

I would take a chance on him for a 3rd.

He has not adjusted well to playing wing at all.
He needs to get back to center. He'd be a great third line center for someone. Too bad Larrson is a black hole at wing. Another player doomed by my jersey curse. I swear, I have only two jerseys left for active Bills and Sabres players, Watkins and Girgs, and they are both on their way out.

Only reason I refuse to buy an Eichel jersey...

Too funny. Me and my brothers are all King fans and as we were teenagers every time my brother got a jersey the player was traded ( good players like Larry Murphy). We made him not buy any more jerseys. And to this day can only buy past players jerseys.

The main problem with this line of thinking is his coach seems clueless in today's NHL and needs to be removed from his position.

straight up for Yakupov

Blues get their future David Backes, Sabres get their future Max Afinogenov

The most frustrating thing about Girgensons on the Sabres is even after he a great game Bylsma refuses to play him up or higher in the lineup. I would much prefer Girgensons get a few looks with Eichel than Moulson.

this. girgensons was vocal about his disappointment with the nolan firing and subsequently the hiring of bylsma. he has really been in bylsma's doghouse from the get go.

he will be a servicable NHLer for years to come. probably not a top 6 guy but a top 9 forward who can fill in on a scoring line in case of injury or to shake things up. whether that happens here in buffalo (presumably after a coaching change), or somewhere else is yet to be seen.

if i were a betting man, i would put money on ennis being traded before girgensons.

For whatever reason he foes by work well with bylsma.

I wouldn't mind trying out

Kane-ROR-Reinhart
Girgs-Eichel-Okposo

Girgs and Kane could flip.

 

[thewookie1]

Girgs for Duclair seems fair. Both struggling players under their respective coaching systems. Duclair has more offensive upside while Girgs could be an effective replacement for Hanzal.

Why? I sure wouldn't. Seems like your letting your anger get in the way here. Young players struggle at times.

Buffalo already has two 2nds and two 3rds in the 2017 draft. We don't need to give up a former 1st round pick who is still very young, has shown promise and could easily find his game still for another extra 3rd round pick who if we are very lucky we might see in the NHL 3+ years from now (or longer), if ever.
