Some good players at forward. Very still young overall. A lot of similar style players and most of them lack a two-way game. They need another top 6 veteran, not sold on Norris due to health reasons but a good and healthy season from him would be a pleasant surprise. They need better play from the bottom 6 in the line up. Some true shut down players. Last off-seasons the 4th line remake was not a success. Get a guy that will punch the lights out of people and can play 4th line minutes.

Some excellent ideas here. Pulock is a guy we need but not at 5 X $6.1M for a 30 year old. Muel was supposed to be like this guy, but he has not been as we all know. Which is why you don't give big contracts to guys with 57 NHL games under their belt. Braden Schneider is intriguing but will be an RFA after next season and then we have another decision. Again, Muel's salary will become an issue.

Who you guys and gals got tonight? I would love for FLA to win it, but I have a sneaking suspicion that after the last home game, Toronto will come out screaming and win this one.

I might be interested in camping at ASP with Bowen before the moving truck gets there.

Too young?

I’ve said it a bunch of times. Every player in this lineup is capable of being a good, contributing player on a good playoff team. But the roster sucks as built. I can speculate as to what I think it might be, but honestly, I am not sure. I just know that there is something significantly not right with this collection of good enough to be better than what they are players.

Outside of Tage, Tuch and JJP everyone is a big time question mark. I'd like to add another top 6 guy as Norris when healthy a good 2nd line C but still need another winger.

Hard to tell when the whole team brings each other down in certain ways. Guys I thought were not good would go to other teams and look so much better than I thought

How do you feel about the group of forwards we currently have?

He was waived by Nashville on November 9, 2024 and according to https://shrpsports.com/nhl/stand.php?link=Y&season=2025&divcnf=cnf&month=Nov&date=9 the Sabres were actually higher in the standings than Columbus who ultimately got him.

They once were... Yup, my bad...reading comprehension was lacking yesterday for some reason 😂😂

Oh wait.... lol 😆

And then there’s that team still alive in the eastern conference that is further south than Carolina. Apparently someone doesn’t realize where Florida is located.

2020 was Tampa over Dallas, and 2023 was Vegas over Florida.

I remember reading that Matt Duchene’s parents saved every receipt and the total was over $300K, for them. That was over 20 years ago. Martin could have a chip on his shoulder instead of a silver spoon. I am also partial to the 3 Northern OHL teams. Sign me up.

Fredric would add versatility and grit to the bottom six. Pietrangelo is a perfect target for experience and style. Probably would have to shed Byram and Mule for cap space. He is from southern Ontario and may want to move closer to finish out his career. He already has 2 cups so he could tolerate the new role. I would gamble on Demko. Will someone pull a double offer sheet on the Rangers? Schneider and Cuylle. Take that Drury! Tavares would have to publicly burn his Leafs pyjamas, but his uncle could give him a new pair.

The nhl could have its first fully southern Stanley cup finals if it’s Dallas and Carolina

He isn’t an Ameoba he is more like a Hydra. You cut one head off and another one just sprouts. The guy just survives everything that kills everyone else in his position.

Unbelievable goaltending that whole fourth Q. Why a fun game, place was rocking. Wish Sabres games were that much fun….

The fact these bum assitants still have a job with us is criminal at this point.

I think Dallas can beat Edmonton, but a few players on Dallas need to get going, Benn, Hintz, and Robertson.

Don't think so. Not at 7. There will be better talent for them there. I'd place Martin around 12 but if the Sabres want to take him at 9 I'd not have any problem with that.

I think Dallas has a better chance of beating Edmonton than Winnipeg would have, so there’s a silver lining. Next hopefully Toronto loses.
