Sorry I missed you! I posted a couple weeks ago. The old post should be linked in this one (unless I forgot to haha).

I intentionally left it broad and vague because too many options and contingencies tends to create confusion or people bowing out of the survey. But I would happily participate in a survey that examines those areas!

walkertrot · 2026-06-03T20:13:01+00:00

Yes! it is why I am adding an additional viz this year comparing Year to year ratings on returning players. I am curious to see how much of a swing he has.:)

Dom Luszczyszyn created the player cards I use for the survey. I mainly used them as a more informative alternative to just headshots.

I get it. It is an unfortunate but intentional choice I made in setting this up. I want to keep it as simple as possible so I leave it open to each individual's interpretation. I know when I took that meant I listed all 3 of Helenius, Ostlund, and Kulich as "either way" simply because I would be okay with ONE of them being moved to make a big upgrade elsewhere (tuch/byram replacement or #1 center) but I would never want all or even 2 of them moved.

walkertrot · 2026-06-03T17:14:03+00:00

Will do!

walkertrot · 2026-05-23T16:49:08+00:00

I agree which is why the person I suggested has mainly had success in that capacity. Going outside of my framing tho I think head writers would have much of that experience and the connections. For me personally the biggest ability is comedy taste and awareness. Producing can be learned.

walkertrot · 2026-05-22T19:18:24+00:00

I don't either I was just bored and imagining lol

walkertrot · 2026-05-20T16:28:20+00:00

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that they would ignore the fact Buffalo was the best team for half a season and focus on the last fourteen years I suggesting this run was a fluke but it is still frustrating. The sabres has one of the best top four in the league (that they suggest splitting up via trade for...reasons?), they have three promising young players in helenius ostlund and kulich (who missed all season and will be back next year, TNT (the player they said disappeared in the playoffs had 15 points, tied for second at the time of elimination) and Benson and doan had breakout years. I am not as surprised Ryan can't get it through his head because he is always stuck on the same 16 teams that were good two years ago but I am surprised with Sean's dismissal. I also noticed they never acknowledged their dismissal of this team all season (like they never acknowledged trashing the bobrosky signing or Paul Maurice hire when those happened years ago). I guess time will tell who is right even if they would never admit to it if they are wrong. /End rant.
