'Not to sound like a broken record, but I'd imagine Kulikov could be moved for a third round pick. If a team that misses out on Shattenkirk really wants to make a move then maybe Kulikov could bring in a second, but from the way he's played this year that may be a little lofty.' … [Read more...] about Potential assets for the Sabres as they approach trade deadline — #2 Dmitry Kulikov

'Whenever a goaltender allows five goals he deserves some of the blame, but he wasn't the Sabres biggest problem on Sunday. Three of Chicago's goals were direct results of missed assignments from Sabres skaters.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Blackhawks take down Sabres 5-1

'If Gionta decides he wants to keep playing after this year the Sabres could do something similar to what they did with Matt Moulson -- trade him and then resign him in the offseason. Making a move like this could ruffle some feathers in the locker room, and if the Sabres keep winning games it may not be a bad idea to keep Gionta around unless the return is 'worth' it.' … [Read more...] about Potential assets for the Sabres as they approach trade deadline — #3 Brian Gionta

'As the trade deadline rapidly approaches talk of trading Kane will run rampant. If the Sabres can get a bonafide top-tier defender then I understand the logic, but for any less I think the Sabres need to keep Kane. He's scoring at an incredible rate and looks like the player General Manager Tim Murray traded for two years ago. There's off the ice issues to keep in mind, but on … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres take down Blues 3-2

'While I like Fedun, the Sabres have been turning to fellow Rochester call-up Justin Falk more and more. Fedun without question provides more offense, but Falk is a big body that can log minutes on the penalty kill.' … [Read more...] about Report: Sabres place Taylor Fedun on waivers

'With the trade deadline less than two weeks away speculation about moving Kane will run rampant -- but I don't think the Sabres should send him anywhere. Kane is doing exactly what he was brought here to do -- score goals.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres shutout Avalanche 2-0

'After last season Girgensons (and Foligno) signed one-year 'prove it' deals, and so far this season Girgensons hasn't been much better than he was last year (71GP, 7G, 11A).' … [Read more...] about Potential assets for the Sabres as they approach trade deadline — #4 Girgensons & Foligno

'What makes Franson so polarizing is his impressive numbers. In 51 games Franson has 16 points, the second most from a defender on the Sabres. What's even crazier is his -1 plus/minus rating. By no means is this a perfect stat, but Franson actually has a better plus/minus than Ristolainen (-3), Kulikov (-9) and Zach Bogosian (-13).' … [Read more...] about Five potential assets for the Sabres as they approach trade deadline — #5 Cody Franson

'Justin Bailey played arguably the best game of his career on Tuesday night. The Western New York native just seemed like he was going to get on the score sheet and wouldn't you know it, he did.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres knock off Senators 3-2

'After Sunday's loss, every player we spoke with mentioned how bad the Sabres have been in the second period. This season Buffalo has a -22 goal differential in the middle frame, something the team has tried to address, it just hasn't worked.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Burrows, Canucks top Sabres 4-2

'Eventually, you'd imagine he'll slow down, but after Saturday's game, Kane is on pace to finish the season with 29 goals in 71 games.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres take down Maple Leafs 3-1

'Franson, 29, has 16 points in 51 games played this season. Bylsma wouldn't provide an exact timeline, but he told reporters that it will likely be a two-three week injury.' … [Read more...] about Franson expected to miss several weeks

'Buffalo was outshot in every one of these games, finishing with a 2-2-1 record. If it wasn't for Robin Lehner and Anders Nilsson, this could've gotten messy.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Ducks take down Sabres 5-2

'There aren't words to really describe what happened. Three goals in 3:28 usually opens if you're playing EA Sports 'NHL 17' on rookie.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres stun Sharks in OT 5-4

'I really like Julien and think he'll find a job sooner rather than later, but It's not time to give up on Bylsma just yet.' … [Read more...] about Bove: Claude Julien isn’t coming to the Sabres
