I’m truly shocked that anyone is paying money to go watch the Sabres play. Adams and crew are still here because they all had 1 year left on their contracts and they didn’t want to pay people not to be here. Adams is also the ultimate yes man who listens and does everything Terry says and will stand in front of the media and lie through his teeth and take all the bullets. The Sabres this year are built on the idea of hoping that a bunch of players all “take a step” which leads to sneaking into the playoffs. The same model that has worked so well the past decade and a half. The Sabres are not a serious organization and deserve an empty arena this season.

This graphic encapsulates the Sabres perfectly. 15 years and they are no closer to contending than the year they started the rebuild. Disgusting.

This is great.

If that was true, by the end of the season the drunks would take over the venue, which might be fun!

It certainly appears to be just a matter of time. Just keep winning.

It was right at her feet. I am just so done with this! People just make sh it up, unreal

Same here.

He needs help. That ain’t ok considering the Sabres are the ones who employed him to scramble his noggin, they sure as hell better not cut ties cold turkey. That isn’t a way to uphold an image. Doesn’t mean he should be allowed near kids anymore tho, not unless he finishes some program

I agree. Zucker Norris Thompson Quinn Kulich/McLeod Tuch Greenway Kulich/McLeod Benson Danforth/Malenstyn Krebs Doan

Zucker-Norris-Tage. That's my top line season opener guess. I'm curious to what you said though. If you see McLeod as a center for a checking line who is that line? Who are the other two "checkers"? and then if you build that line what's line 2? Benson and Quinn? Tuch? As I type this I can't think of an arrangement I'd feel comfortable with.

Saturday draft gets my vote.

I’ve seen so many accounts where they post the weirdest stuff and have their employer, previous employers, home of record, spouse, and current city in their bio. Then you have the ones who post pictures of every second of their lives without removing the metadata. Same ones consider themselves content creators and influencers 😅 Then there’s the ones who use the same username across platforms where some require you to add your DoB. A simple open search gets you their DoB, PoB, city/state, immediate family, current/former address and phone number.

-2LW -He’ll be in the top six unless Zucker outplays him -Doan on third line -Kulich is 3C to start -Krebs is 4C due to circumstance, not ability -Malenstyn Krebs Danforth

4 pm PST Monday I will be working. The rest would work

Is Quinn the 3rd-line RW or do they switch him to the left to replace Peterka in the top 6? How long is his leash? Has Benson graduated to the top 6 or do they see him first as a checker? Do they intend to give Kulich every opportunity to be the other top 6 centre? Or does he get more favourable matchups on a 3rd line? Do they see Doan as bottom six grinder or will he get a shot with some of their better players? Same question with Greenway? Are Krebs and Danforth inked onto the 4th line or do they have any upward mobility? Malenstyn is a safe bet to be a 4th-line pounder, but is he an everyday player?

So many ways the forwards can be arranged: Tage is the biggest offensive threat and will anchor a scoring line. Likely a RW, possibly at centre. Will they load him up with vets or ask him to carry kids again? Will Tuch join him on a true 1st line, be counted on to anchor a 2-way 2nd line, or will he be asked to carry kids? Will they use Norris as a 1C? Will it be with Tage, or with Tuch, or both? Will McLeod centre a 3rd line checking line, a 2nd line matchup line, or be asked to be the defensive conscience with some offensive wingers? Where in the top 9 do they plug Zucker?

I like the idea of using preseason to let the actual roster stabilize. We don’t need a bunch of guys who aren’t making the opening roster take ice time that could be used to figure out line combos. Those guys can prove they deserve a call up in the minors.

Hopefully, for the 1st time in the last 3 years they run a NORMAL preseason and actually not just try to optimize lines but actually succeed at it. 2 years ago they were too concerned with finding out which Amerks could fit into the top 6 / top 4 should injuries strike to bother figuring out which SABRES should be there in the 1st place. Last year, due to the abreviated camp they pretty much picked the lines and pairings before seeing if there might be some better chemistry to develop with a smidge of experimentation. They have ZERO excuses for not being ready to go from the day they host the Rags and hopefully they catch some teams still getting it together to build up a bit of a cushion for the inevitable stretches of bad injury luck or simply everyone being flat at the same time for about a week which almost all middling teams suffer at some point in the season.

Pretty sure either set of dates / times would work. If not, autodraft can get me just as lousy a team as drafting legitimately would do. 😉

I believe this is one of our biggest problems in society today. There's no accountability with anonymity. I believe people wouldn't be so nasty if their user name and avatar were what is on their driver's license, passport or state/school ID.

Assuming health, 13 forward spots set and 6 D. If UPL is healthy, he and Lyon are the goalies. Kozak will try to be the 14th forward. Johnson, Jones and Bryson will battle for 7D. 2 of those 4 will make the team. Georgiev and Levi will fight to be the 2nd goalie if UPL is out for any length of time.

61-23=38

I don’t think there’s any open spots except backup goalie. So, all prospects.

So how many players do we need to cut or send down the AHL before the season starts?

Damn, luckily you were face down and not in a vulnerable position to aspirate.
