Why do Sabres fans have a penchant for trying to run players out of town, and ignoring what worth they provide to the Sabres?
A name from the past is Dave Andreychuk- he got run out of here at the prime of his game and we missed out on 250+ goals as a result. We've been lacking a scorer like him ever since.
Currently, players on the "most hated" list seem to be guys like Zhitnik, Gratton, Tim Connelly, while guys like Rob Ray are worshipped. What's wrong with these fans?
They're crazy- Zhitnik his over his career been a steady 25-minute per game blueliner. Invaluable play for the team.
Gratton is the closest thing to Keith Tkachuk the Sabres can afford. He isn't supposed to be a checker- he's supposed to produce offense, and is at an 80+ point pace now that he has the minutes. Who can we get for him who's better? nobody. Who on this team can replace him? Nobody!
Tim Connelly- he may be a Rob Johnson-esque bust over the long haul, but can the Sabres really afford to give up on him already? He never was, is not now, never will be, and never should be a grind-it-out of the corner player. He's a puck-handler. Who else on this team approaches him in talent? Nobody. Who can we get for him that matches his potential? Nobody. He needs to stay here to see if he can turn into the kind of player the Islanders thought he'd be when they made him a #5 overall draft pick.
