I thought he played his role very well in Krueger’s system. I feel bad for Girgensons. He loves it in Buffalo and I know (from articles and interviews) that he was super excited for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) https://theathletic.com/2316763/2021/01/11/sharks-evander-kane-bankruptcy/ ‘Sharks’ Evander Kane files for bankruptcy with $26.8 million of debt’ Quote San Jose Sharks left winger Evander Kane. Despite signing a seven-year, $49 million contract extension in 2018, Kane filed for Chapter 7 in the federal bankruptcy court in the California city of his team. The filling detailed liabilities of $26.8 million and assets — largely three homes — of $10.2 million. And the filing included a note that warns he may not even play this year. ..... The complaint listed nine lawsuits, court actions, and administrative proceedings with lenders, six of which are active. The largest is with Centennial Bank, which filed a lawsuit last week against Kane and the Sharks seeking $8.3 million. Quote Kane in his petition lists his income as negative $91.131.13 a month). The petition also listed seven dependents, all as living with him: his 6-month-old daughter, his sister, 27, his uncle, 54, his mother, 55, another uncle, 59, his father, 60, and his grandmother, 77.

BillsFan4 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Skinner back in the doghouse already. He didn’t last long with Staal. Seems clear there’s some type of disconnect between him and Krueger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Skinner deal will go down as an absolute disaster unless Krueger can get something out of him.

What I don’t understand is it is rumored that Krueger dislikes him because he doesn’t play a 2-way game. So he puts him on the checking line? At least you get scoring from him if he’s on the top 2 lines. This way you’ll get next to nothing and he’s the 3rd highest player on your payroll. 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino has zero back check. Zero. On a team that is starved for scoring and plays miserable team defense one might think there is room for Skinner. Glad to see Tage is developing. He had better score 20 plus goals on the top line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know what is happening in practice and meetings that could be contributing to whatever the issue is. Thats why it’s so hard to judge stuff like this as fans, since we really only know a small fraction of what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner wasn't buying into the Krueger system of play 2. Ralph is trying to roll 3 lines that have some threat of scoring Quote “He’s worked hard in the offseason,” Krueger said on a Zoom call Sunday. “He’s coming in here and for us, it’s important no matter your role, no matter your skill level is that in general you play within the principles. He’s continuing to work on that together with the coaching staff. I think once he lets that go and relaxes and trusts his instincts, he’s going to give us what we need, which is we need scoring right through the lineup, and the present setup will give that line opportunity to add to our offense.” Quote "It’ll be important for Jeff to just keep working hard,” Krueger said. “And again, our principles need to be the guideline, but within that framework every player has the opportunity to let his genius express itself. For Jeff, that’s usually in the danger zone in front of the other team’s net. So his linemates need to get him there, he needs to do the work to get himself there and the goals will follow. It’s always hard work before you get rewarded.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulmark had a respectable .915 save% last year and has been a better than .500 goalie both the last two years with minimal help.

Jauronimo Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Unfortunately, the season starts in January this year which has historically been a month where the team crashes back down to the bottom of the division after a surprisingly hot start. But we have some new pieces and promising young rookies in the lineup who know nothing about our culture of losing and Ristolainen has a crazy new haircut so nothing would surprise me in a pandemic season. Over/under - 1.5 goals scored tonight 10 mins of TOI for Skinner 2.5 goals allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) 5 mins into the game the Sabres look lousy. they appear slow and lazy. Caps look like they have been on a 5 min PP with puck possession. At least Hutton looks confident. Edited January 15, 2021 by zow2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
