Lowly Sabres enter trade deadline facing bad combination of 'urgency and danger'

'With their fate now sealed in the standings, the Sabres find themselves at this horrible intersection of urgency and danger. You know this has to —, no, really has to — stop, yet there’s the risk of stepping in it all over again by moving players out the door who become other team’s problem-solvers.' … [Read more...] about Lowly Sabres enter trade deadline facing bad combination of ‘urgency and danger’

Four potential trade destinations for Sabres' Dylan Cozens

'With just 11 goals and 30 points through 58 games, he’s currently on pace for his second-lowest offensive totals in five NHL seasons. His production has been a disappointment for the Sabres, as his 2023-24 totals had also declined from the previous season when he recorded a career-best 31 goals and 68 points in 81 games.' … [Read more...] about Four potential trade destinations for Sabres’ Dylan Cozens

Scout's Analysis: Why the Sabres' potential isn't paying off

'The fact of the matter is the Sabres have thrust too many of their young players into the NHL before they were ready for full-time duty, and tasked them with important roles and assignments. And this has happened as expectations for the team have risen, thus increasing the pressure to deliver results.' … [Read more...] about Scout’s Analysis: Why the Sabres’ potential isn’t paying off

Why free-falling Sabres continue to lose games

'The issue, however, is that the Sabres have been woefully inaccurate from the slot, regardless of how they attempt to generate offence. Only 54.5 per cent of their overall chances at 5-on-5 have hit the net — 30th in the league.' … [Read more...] about Why free-falling Sabres continue to lose games

Sabres' slump puts latest phase of seemingly interminable rebuild in question

'As noble as that is, though, we know Ruff can’t do it on his own. Clearly, so do the Sabres, who held a full-team meeting — with owner Terry Pegula present, according to our Elliotte Friedman, and injured captain Rasmus Dahlin there as well — instead of a practice at the Bell Centre Monday. Sources indicated the message was to stick together and solve the issue as a group. … [Read more...] about Sabres’ slump puts latest phase of seemingly interminable rebuild in question

Sabres GM's comments on 'no palm trees' and 'taxes' miss mark in Buffalo

'While Adams has brought in some promising young talent, there are blemishes on his resume. "You traded away, within the span of a few months, two of the top five leading scorers in the league, currently, who both won Cups in back-to-back years," Parker said, referring to Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart. "So tell me about your hardships with taxes and no palm trees."' … [Read more...] about Sabres GM’s comments on ‘no palm trees’ and ‘taxes’ miss mark in Buffalo

Are Sabres finally in control of own destiny?

'The Sabres’ power play stinks — it’s dead last in the league at a nearly invisible 3.9 percent — but the flipside to that is the fact Buffalo has been very strong at full strength, netting 3.50 five-on-five goals per game in the past six outings. Their underlying numbers tell the story of a team that can certainly hang with most outfits.' … [Read more...] about Are Sabres finally in control of own destiny?

Returning coach Lindy Ruff wants current Sabres to experience what he did

'"There is some personal there for sure," Ruff said of the challenge. "Obviously, I've lived in this city and owned a house in this city since 1979. I think I understand from my playing days and coaching days, how great this city is when you have a successful hockey club. "It would mean a lot to have this group of players experience what i was able to as a player and as a … [Read more...] about Returning coach Lindy Ruff wants current Sabres to experience what he did

Sabres fans turn up heat on coach Granato during ugly loss to Blue Jackets

'The Sabres have been wildly inconsistent this season, beating powerhouses like the New York Rangers, Vegas Golden Knights and Toronto Maple Leafs while delivering pitiful performances against the likes of the Blue Jackets, New Jersey Devils and Arizona Coyotes.' … [Read more...] about Sabres fans turn up heat on coach Granato during ugly loss to Blue Jackets

Making sense of the Buffalo Sabres' slow start: Can they get on track?

'The Skinner-Thompson-Tuch line has a 39.6 XGF% in 43:25 of ice time, scoring once at 5-on-5. Coach Don Granato recently separated them in an effort to create more balance. It has worked to a degree; Thompson, Cozens and Jordan Greenway have out-chanced opponents 20-10 at 5-on-5. Of the seven forward combinations that have played at least 20 minutes for the Sabres, theirs is … [Read more...] about Making sense of the Buffalo Sabres’ slow start: Can they get on track?

Friday Four: How Dahlin, Power contracts set the Sabres up to explode

'Between Dahlin, Power, Tage Thompson (seven years, $7.142 million) and Dylan Cozens (seven years, $7.1 million), Adams has identified a core of young players and made his bet on these two centres, a franchise defenceman and another No. 1 pick who may fully be worth his cost as soon as this season.' … [Read more...] about Friday Four: How Dahlin, Power contracts set the Sabres up to explode

Breakout in Buffalo: How one simple change let Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin unlock his potential

'It almost seems like Dahlin is trying to one-up himself on each goal and assist, whether he’s toe-dragging defenders out of their skates or launching a stretch pass that lands right on a teammate’s tape. He’s also playing with more of an edge, scrapping in front of the net and throwing bone-crunching open-ice hits.' … [Read more...] about Breakout in Buffalo: How one simple change let Sabres’ Rasmus Dahlin unlock his potential

Wiebe's World: Sabres' Tage Thompson era has arrived, iPad gate hovers over NHL

'“That’s what stands out. (His) day-to-day,” said Sabres coach Don Granato. “Behind the scenes, every day, through all the adversity he’s challenged and the doubt that the outside hockey world has had on him for the last three, for years in a very difficult trade, he kept doing the right things every day.' … [Read more...] about Wiebe’s World: Sabres’ Tage Thompson era has arrived, iPad gate hovers over NHL

Sabres keep victims of Buffalo blizzard in their thoughts as they return to action

'"A little bit of a surreal experience," Sabres coach Don Granato said after morning skate. "We went through COVID break so there's some familiarity from those breaks and there's understanding there's things much greater than you, much greater than our team or the Buffalo Sabres or hockey, and this was one of them."' … [Read more...] about Sabres keep victims of Buffalo blizzard in their thoughts as they return to action

How the Sabres are being rewarded for their 'huge leap of faith' in Tage Thompson

'Thompson, listed as 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, also excels at the aspects of the game commonly associated with power forwards, such as creating scoring chances off the cycle and forecheck. Thompson is in the top 10 of both categories this season.' … [Read more...] about How the Sabres are being rewarded for their ‘huge leap of faith’ in Tage Thompson
