did you expect him to leap over casey, cozens or tage?

he was 4th on current sabres forwards with plus 2 last year

another whipping boy, greenway was plus 11

another whipping boy, tuch, was plus 9

I expect him to produce like the top 10 pick he was supposed to be.

His shot is weak(the weakest on the team id assume), hes not very good on the PP as he is not a scoring threat. He's been replaced on the pk where he also wasnt even par with the others. His relative possession metrics on the PK were 11% worse than the teams.

this team had a lot of those on the roster last year

in his limited roll, he was FAR FROM one of the big issues with the team

Adams said a lot of good things about him in the end of the season presser so it looks like he may get a look at extended ice time and Ruff loves his bottom feeders with limited scoring, goose, paile, primeau, mair

The big issues were not any singular player. I never called him an issue either so not sure why you move goal posts.

The topic was Krebs being low balled. Hes proved nothing to earn more than minimum. But Kevyn hands out 2-3million contracts to garbage players all the time so thats why hes wont accept less most likely.

Hes an alright 5v5 player that has shown minimal production.
Helenius could come and put up that production and probably do better.

The Sabres have to many Prospects to worry about hurting Krebs feelings. Has he been used right or given a proper chance! Probably Not, but he also hasn't been on the Ice and gave you that feeling he deserves more. There's a couple teams that do like him, use him to help in other areas. IMO

we have no clue if he was low balled

I am more concerned about the guys playing 15 to 26 minutes a night and not producing instead of a 4th liner


the day a 4th liner elevates a blah team to a cup contender is probably the day I wake up next to margot robbie

His second most time spent on a line last year was with Peterka and Benson. The Zemgus and Okposo excuses gotta goooo
- DirtyDan


Didn't answer the question.

And as stated, he had a 62CF% with those two. Points didn't come, but was a small sample size of 5 games. Given time to jell, the points would've came based on his SF/SA stats.

22pts in 48games in his rookie season says otherwise.

Gross misuse and an extreme lack of talent around him have been the constant issues.

Nice! Said about a month ago I heard Strbak had added about 10 pounds. Nice to hear he put on another 5 plus that. Kid should be fun to Watch, gonna be our Jay McKee

The blue line is going to be fun to watch over the next several years.

Samuelsson is on notice for sure. Power and Byram newd to now pick up their game too.

Power will be very interesting with that contract. I do expect him to grow into it, he will be buyout candidate numero uno for the next gm if not.

It was a stupid question.

And yes he has promise still but what is promise without production... a lotta hope..

You've got an 18 year old who nearly doubled his production in 9 less games. Playing a lot with another boat anchor in Greenway.

Play better and you get better teammates.... Not once did he force his own way up the lineup with his play. Either the lines needed to be shaken up or someone got injured is how he got his chances.

When Donnie would ask the magic conch if Krebs could play with Tage, Cozens or Mitts the magic conch would say..
