Yeah but Levi has value still in any trade, and lets say Levi comes and is better than him, you can still get same value back for Svilos. Im sure we thinking the same, but im drunk and well ***** you kevyn.

Seems like an appropriate return for a Top 3 defenseman. I mean, we sent a first line winger for someone not as flashy has Byram. This guys scores goals, but does he play defense? Or is he in the mold of a JJP?

"According to Evolving-Hockey, last season, (Benson) was in the 98th percentile in defense among all NHL skaters." Benson will pace at a 60pt season

Doan in defensive stats probably and Ohlund for rookie of the year 🙂

But that's not how it works. And you're only looking at 1 side of the equation. If they took away 27g but also shipped out 30ga, they are up +3. I'm not saying they did that, just that finishing 16th in goals for versus 8th matters as much as finishing 4th in GA and moving to ??? Also they dumped Cozens 11g for Norris and Kulich picking up that ice time, I've stated repeatedly I don't believe we lost 27g although year to year goal totals vary so unclear where we come out, especially if Buffalo decides to play defense this year.

Indeed. I'm not saying to hide it. I'm just saying that's how our world works. There is a cabal of power brokers who steer much of the world events. No chance in hell we'll ever see that list.

Dahlin isn’t good playing defense? Interesting. And it’s not like the Sabres aren’t going play a player in JJ’s place. I’m not optimistic but I’m not irrationally negative either

Levi has ZERO leverage. How was he going to keep from re-signing? Is he going to get a career in whatever his major was his 2 years at Northeastern?

Equipment sale and open house.

What event was this?

That was arguably the only good goalie on the market available for trade; that being said trading for him would of made Levi next to impossible to re-sign and Adams doesn’t exactly look at a 3D, much less a 4D, map.

They scored the 8th most goals in league and gave up the 4th most. They traded away 27 goals in Peterka. If you take away his goals, they finish in the bottom half of the league in goals for. They're undoubtedly worse on paper. I'm not buying the idea they got better defensively. There's just nothing to support that claim... same goaltending, same coaches, same game plan. The team as a whole plays poor defense. Dahlin and Power are not defensive stalwarts, the're offensive minded players who will continue to struggle defensively against tough matchups. UPL is borderline NHL backup, Levi isn't good enough... Lyon? lol They needed to make a splash, trading some assets for a starting vet goalie and finding a vet partner for Power... and I'd argue Dahlin needs a steady defensively sound partner as well. Samuelsson ain't it, he's regressed. I like their draft, but that's not going to help this year. Norris is a roulette wheel, if he plays 60 games I'll be tickled. This feels to me like lowkey subtle tank for McKenna. They have all the excuses built in... Norris injuries, UPL, still a young team, etc etc. If they were serious about making a run at the playoffs they would've kept Peterka (he's an RFA, who cares if he "wants to be here"), fired some coaches, acquired a starter and a proven vet defenseman for Power. Improving the defense and maintaining the offensive production is what was needed, you don't need to sacrifice one for the other if done correctly.

If Trump is on the alleged list then so be it. The public and the kids deserve to have this entirely exposed. There’s a conspiracy theory that doing so would cripple civilization or something. In my opinion that’s a narcissistic and unrealistic view of what exposure would do. The fact Russiagate and 2020 election are still being brought up but Epstein is getting buried is insane. The supposed victim of those two conspiracies is a grown man, the Epstein conspiracy victimized children.

Can’t forget that Trump also said that Ukraine started the war! Trump is as dumb as a phuckin’ stump. And I apologize if I just insulted stumps.

It’s obvious that the meat processing billionaires got to somebody in the administration because a day after an ICE raid on one of those facilities, they abruptly stopped. That industry employs a huge number of immigrants.

Canucks trade Silovs to Pens for Chase Stillman

I envision Adams as a feisty George Costanza. It’s a team………. about nothing!

I mean I’ve heard worse reasons to draft a player

The exact terminology and scenario that I've used when talking to myself about this team. Luckily for all of you, I keep most of my conversations with myself to myself.

I was thinking about the ins and outs since trading deadline. I'm not evaluating specific transactions but where the new player fits into the lineup vs the former player (or soon to be former player) 1) Cozens for Norris - Out a middle six center for a top 6 center. Cozens on a good team is probably a 3rd line center/wing while Norris, when healthy (a big if), is a 2 line center. In the event Norris stays healthy, this would be an upgrade. Of course, it's more likely to crash and burn when Norris gets hurt. 2) JJP for Doan - Out is a top line scoring winger in is a bottom six (likely 4th line) grinding winger. This erases and then some any benefit from the possible addition of Norris 3) Joki for Kesselring - This is replacing a of mediocre 2nd/3rd pairing D with a better defensive 2nd/3rd pairing. 4) Clifton for Timmins - We swaped a physical but poor defensive 3rd pairing D, for a not nearly as physical, but better defensively, 3rd pair RHD 5) Reimer for Lyons - possible a small upgrade, but Reimer actually was our best goalie down the stretch last season. 6. Malenstyn for Danforth - What? If Danforth wins a roster spot it will because he beat out Malenstyn for the job. My guess is he'll be better than Malenstyn, but then again who wouldn't be?

Seriously though, what’s the chances of a teenager from the Czech Republic in the year 2025 being a big Goo Goo Dolls fan? Given they announced the pick, it just seems like the Sabres knew this and he was the pick from the very beginning.

If only those immigrants worked for Republican farms and factories they would still be working and not in the concentration camp.

Yay. ICE caught another bad guy. But they continue their disgraceful abuse as there are 250+ immigrants HELD IN CAGES in “Alligator Alcatraz” WITH NO CRIMINAL CHARGES OR CONVICTIONS. Held in cages for MISDEMEANORS. But because this administration has no problem lying about any of this, I’m sure they will invent some bull$hit charges. WTF happened to our country that ANYONE would be OK with this? Now I long ago rejected the religious dogma I was indoctrinated into as a child, but these self-professed Christian politicians need to read their good book again as God clearly states that individuals and nations will be judged on how they treat “the least of these, and that includes the stranger and the poor. Our nation should be ashamed.

I couldn’t care less, but if you think Buffalo brings in significant money go right ahead and think that, I’m not stopping you
