I mean who hasn’t searched grandma’s mangoes for Christ's sake

What’s up with Roslovic ? Seems to be a FA that the Sabres could fit in at $3.5m.. flexible to play C. Issues around attitude seem to be brought up. Best available player at a position of need 🤷🏻‍♂️

Freudian slip? Or do you mean whatever talent good teams have, the Sabres have half that amount?

Not entirely true. A lot of very high picks so a lot of players but how many Sabres picks do we have on the roster aside from the 2 number one overalls? Quinn, UPL, Samuelsson as guys who should be good by now. Benson and Kulich (and maybe Kozak) as young prospects on the roster. Is that really a great draft haul for a team this bad this long? How have the later rounds worked out for us? Now they rarely work for anybody, but you really can't say we have "drafted very well".

I'll add to this that sure, the doom and gloom isn't "universally" shared. But that's basically a technicality. If you asked my 100000 year old grandma about the Sabres she'd talk about what a nice boy Alex Tuch is. But if you asked 100 people on the street about the Sabres 88 of them would say "they suck". So sure, there are a couple of "Grandma Mango's" in every group. But it's still "universally agreed upon" that the Sabres suck.

Thank you for your vote of confidence. Kozak is a better two-way player than Krebs.

I think this is a tad misleading this year since most of those years had no cap increases and presently half the league has more than 5mil in cap space including WPG, CAR, MIN, and the NJD

As a recovering Krebs supporter: I think people like him more than his game warrants because he looks the part. I mean he really looks the part. Dude presents as an Albertan fu*ked up hockey nose version of a Hollywood leading man. But he is demonstrably a replacement level (or worse) NHL’er. Time to abandon the man crushes. I mean … https://www.instagram.com/p/DGtlK4cOK83/?img_index=3&igsh=MXVmdmwyMG9wNHh3dQ== hamma nah hamma nah. But no. (Slide 4)

I doubt it, there isn’t a team in the league that would do that. Even rumors place him around 8.5mil

If you think Kozak is going to be a better player than Krebs, congratulations. You are now qualified to be the next Sabres GM.

There is no question that Krebs played his best last offseason. But even acknowledging that what is his upside and highest role? I don’t seeing him being able to earn a top two line role. However, he should be able to play well as a third or fourth line player. I’m not pushing to get rid of him because he is a contributing role player. But if he was included in a trade deal that brought us back a second line caliber of player, I would be receptive to that type of deal.

OVER 77 MILLION AMERICANS SUPPORT PEDOPHILES BECAUSE THEY VOTED FOR TRUMP!!!! ARRRRGH! Say that out loud and listen to how ridiculous that sounds. You do it often. Frequently quoting posts that make no reference to Trump.

This has been true much of the last 10 years. That doesn’t mean those people have all been wrong when it’s all said and done.

It doesn't even make sense. Typically if a team struggles for a long period of time it's because they draft very poorly. This is not the case with the Sabres. They have drafted very well for the most part. It's nearly impossible to be this bad for this long with their drafting track record.

Jarmo is already right there, just for one. The bar is incredibly low with Adams. Of course the quality of GM matters even under someone like Pegula - Adams is bad because he *is like* Pegula, not because he’s overly burdened by him. We know this from the circumstance upon which he took the job. Even Adams to his credit managed a 91 point team - Pegula presented a magical barrier we couldn’t get cross, that one extra point? No - to Adams failure - he had a horrendous offseason after 22-23. There’s absolutely a mile of difference between Adams and what a lot of guys would do. You are right that Terry is the biggest issue. He likes Adams. He hired Adams. My point is that there are GMs he can hire by throwing a dart that would do a better job. So - I agree with you it ultimately falls to Terry, he’s the guy employing the GM. Making that choice. But where I disagree is that no GM willing would be better. Hell I’d do it.

The whole thing is pretty much a pointless exercise done for click bait. But as I read that, I find myself thinking about a bunch of teams that can’t remember doing a thing. The whole start of the year had been pretty underwhelming as a whole.

Yeah, didn't you see Terminator Genisys?

But.....what competent GM would want to come work for Pegula? Hence, Pegula is still the problem.

Yea everyone knew they would send Terrorists. It's what happens when a deranged man is let loose. TDS was presented as a Bill by a man who was later found guilty of solicitation of a minor. Congrats for the side that supports pedophiles and has one running them.

Maybe, but I think the opposite. Despite not many more points, I thought last year was Krebs best season by far regarding his overall game, and he even got better as the season went on.

Not sure who he's been watching but he has the best set of hands in close and is a good passer. 61 points in 71 games, some people think it is a bargain.

Krebs has hit his ceiling. Kozak is just getting started.

I think he gets somewhere around 7 x 11.5m.
