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.

Prediction…Pegula addresses the crowd before the game tomorrow at center ice. Announces he is selling the team and new owner is keeping the team in Buffalo.

Hopefully the bag skating can set some tone instead of the fancy trips to Europe like last season

The Sabres play in less than 24 hours. What do you think will happen for this season? (Using the same format @GASabresIUFAN presented last year.) 1) Sabres point total? 2) Will the Sabres makes the playoffs? 3) Sabres leading goal scorer? 4) Sabres leader in total points? 5) Sabres MVP? 6) Sabres ROY? 7) Best off-season acquisition? 8.) Worst off-season acquisition? 9) Biggest surprise? (positive or negative) 10) Breakout player? 11) Will any Sabres players or coaches finish as finalists (win?) for any major awards such as the Norris or Selke? 12) Unsung hero? 13) Who will be the first Sabre traded away this season? 14) Will KA make any in-season acquisitions before the deadline? 15) Will the Sabres be buyers or sellers at the deadline? 16) Other bold prediction? {Such as KA gets fired mid-season ;)} 17) Any other thoughts?

I’d be happy and surprised if he even reaches 20.

Didn't catch that! I don't listen anymore, just saw the tweet

Have no fear…even if Leone is hired as HC, Appert and Wilford will still be assistants, and Bryson will still be 7D. 😂 Sorry for derailing this thread.

Season hasn't started yet and already I'm upset Bryson to play the opener? What are we doing here? It's embarrassing enough that he is on the roster, let alone playing in game 1 !!!

Amen. Agree. The first time I heard Adams not own the drought I knew we were in trouble.

Speaking of the stroke of midnight... whenever Woody replies to me.

So some of you guys think Ellis is another Binnington from the Blues AHL system?

I am. Follow baseball but don’t watch a lot during the summer. Playoffs and WS…yes please.

At least for 1 night(yesterday)ESPN got something right…3 man pregame/intermission desk. TNT tonight…5 man desk. LESS IS MORE!!!!

Eichel numbers will help keep Tuch down

Go Jays!

Early in his career, he’d play solid for 3 to 5 games when needed before sitting in the press box a month. Likely because he’d play simple hockey and not try to over play to keep a roster spot.
