I suppose they could mutually terminate his contract, but both parties would need to agree. And he's getting NHL money regardless. Would he get that in Europe, or in any other NHL organization? He should just come down, play well and parlay that into another NHL opportunity here or elsewhere.

Funny, you mentioned that, I feel the exact same way because of the goalie situation. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

Dahlin, 2nd game of the season

Norris

Who?

They looked solid tonight. Playing a very very tight checking disciplined system that will give teams fits. Very reminiscent of how Germany over achieved at the Worlds under Sturm. Not sure if they can sustain it, but Swayman looks to be back so do not underestimate them either. I suspect a team that will win games they hold even or lead in early so you will want to score early and get a lead on them to make their system collapse.

Soooo, to Rochester or cut?

The terrible Bruins beat the awesome Capitals

Article on Sabres broadcast changes https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6700607/2025/10/08/sabres-meghan-chayka-tv-broadcast/ Some of the changes are simple. Fans might have noticed an overdue change to the broadcast in the preseason with shots on goals being part of the score bug. There will be other minor graphic tweaks. Bellas and Maas also want to give the broadcast more depth regarding analysis. They now have a contract with hockey analytics firm Stathletes, something no other team or regional broadcast has. That will allow them to include some more in-depth data in both their graphics and analysis in-game and during intermission. As part of that agreement, Meghan Chayka, one of the co-founders of Stathletes, will appear on 15 Sabres broadcasts this season during intermissions. Chayka has appeared on TSN and ESPN, but this will be her first regular spot on a team broadcast.

Well I won't be posting goal memes for the first three games as I will actually be in Buffalo (West Seneca) visiting my mom. I won't be able to take in a game in person since I arrive Thursday evening and leave Monday morning.

Am I the only person who thinks it is a gigantic red flag that Levi cannot crack the starting goalie lineup with the garbage they have on the roster? I mean, UpL is out and he is STILL not one of our top 2?? What happened to this guy? Why have they not traded for a starting goalie? Give up prospects and 1st rounders for all I care…

Josh Doan is becoming one of my favorite players on the team. However, I don’t know much about Shane Doan. When the Sabres were good he was stashed away in a hockey desert and we never really played them. They also rarely ever made the playoffs

I'm not surprised by all these guys re-signing before the season starts, but they're all silly to not push for more cash. In the NFL, whichever QB is up next gets the best contract. No one cares that Mahomes (or Allen, because it's a Sabres board) is making less. Wait, make the GMs sweat, and get yourself some money. The cap is rising and the support players will still get paid. Tuch should absolutely do this to Adams. One of these guys is going to stick it out to UFA next July (Kempe?) and make near-Draisaitl money because they're the only one still standing.

More likely Hutton.

Yeah, just drop the left side of that panel off into the Potomac and they're good.

Can't speak for anyone else, but personally expect he's better than Georgiev. How much better? No data. And considering UPL is broken once again, and they seem adamant to have Levi be THE guy in Ra-cha-cha, they needed somebody better than Georgiev to pair with Lyon. But, hey, they're only 2 points out of 1st and have a game in hand. Hope springs eternal. Last year by the time they had the home opener they were 2 games under 0.500. Baby steps.

1) Sabres point total? 92.5 (In one game, against the dastardly Bruins, as @Sabres Fan in NS would say, after all 18 skaters and the backup goalie has gone in the SO, the score remains tied at 2 as Mittelstadt and Jokiharju score for the B's and Geertson and Bryson are the only 2 Sabres to score; figuring this'll go on all night they decide to call it a draw and split the extra SO point.) 2) Will the Sabres makes the playoffs? Yes, the Aisles end up in 9th place with 92 after having swept the Sabres 3) Sabres leading goal scorer? Thompson 4) Sabres leader in total points? Dahlin 5) Sabres MVP? Ellis 6) Sabres ROY? Johnson 7) Best off-season acquisition? The S&C coach 8.) Worst off-season acquisition? The new sound system (technically the new B&G goal song; but that wasn't actually "acquired" in the off-season so ...) 9) Biggest surprise? (positive or negative) The Sabres are legitimately in a playoff spot (both by points and %age on US Thanksgiving) 10) Breakout player? One of the guys in the press box for the Vegas game. Fortunately it doesn't spread through the entire roster. 11) Will any Sabres players or coaches finish as finalists (win?) for any major awards such as the Norris or Selke? Dahlin - runner up for Norris. Tuch gets votes for Selke but just misses top 3. Thompson ends up 4th in the Rocket Richard race 12) Unsung hero? Byram 13) Who will be the first Sabre traded away this season? UPL 14) Will KA make any in-season acquisitions before the deadline? Yes. 15) Will the Sabres be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Yes. 16) Other bold prediction? {Such as KA gets fired mid-season ;)} They bring back Gilbert singing after home W's, but courtesy of the Wonder of AI, it appears he's singing it to RJ. THAT's what rallies the team to the 92.5 point season. 17) Any other thoughts? The season needs more cowbell.

Right and if he doesn't, back to Seattle.

They have a post office there too, no?

1) Sabres point total? 89 2) Will the Sabres makes the playoffs? Yes 3) Sabres leading goal scorer? Thompson 4) Sabres leader in total points? Edit: Dahlin (got ahead of myself) 5) Sabres MVP? Thompson 6) Sabres ROY? Ryan Johnson 7) Best off-season acquisition? Kesselring 8.) Worst off-season acquisition? Geertsen 9) Biggest surprise? (positive or negative) Colten Ellis 10) Breakout player? Zach Benson 11) Will any Sabres players or coaches finish as finalists (win?) for any major awards such as the Norris or Selke? Dahlin, Norris 12) Unsung hero? Zach Benson 13) Who will be the first Sabre traded away this season? Malenstyn 14) Will KA make any in-season acquisitions before the deadline? yes 15) Will the Sabres be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Buyers 16) Other bold prediction? {Such as KA gets fired mid-season ;)} we'll know before seasons end that KA is getting a new title and Kekalainen is taking over. 17) Any other thoughts?

He needs to earn power play, penalty kill, top pairing.
