I'll throw in cash for a kiddie pool if you guys want to buy the jello, Pi and Liger could hash it out in a winner take all backyard Jello wrestle. I suppose we could just get some models too, but this would also be fun 😝😘

Their path to the playoffs... minimum requirements: A goalie emerges as the bona-fide starter and posts a respectable .905 SV% and 2.80 GAA Owen Power becomes a plus player and posts 50 points Josh Norris plays 60 games and post 50 points Quinn, Benson, Kulich combine to score 60g (scored 45 last season) Greenway and Samuelsson play 60 games

Isn’t that kinda what you’re doing?😂

My entire post reads... "I'll say this, if they deploy him on the first line and gets regular PP minutes, he could get close to 60pts." I never said he could approach 60pts on the second line.... in fact, I don't believe he'd get anywhere near 60pts on the second line, 40-45 maybe? Is that up to par with a 2nd line winger on a playoff team? But I understand your argument... you believe he's capable of filling the role of second line wing on a playoff team, putting up 50-55pts, that is... if his linemates aren't low IQ players like Cozens. In my opinion I don't believe he's capable of producing enough offense to fill that role and is better suited as a 3rd line winger with the majority of his minutes targeted on shutting down other teams top lines, PK, situational hockey (end of period/game, etc). It's OK to disagree on his potential as a player, as a fan I hope you're right and he proves me wrong.

He is back practicing, maybe a deal is close.

Funny to see what happens when your president messes everything up only to "TACO" and now everything has finally gotten back to pre-Trump levels. The only problem is the damage is done, the price increases from his destruction will never go back down. So the American people will forever be paying for his tarrif debacle.

So you don’t like him?

We are in hockey doldrums. The big off season moves are over and most fans are skeptical on Adams and Ruff The Bills have all the buzz in town, as usual. New season, Josh Allen, Hard Knocks, etc. Tre White is back but the goalie camp remains closed. The Sabres season tickets are down to 9,000 and Canadians are not coming over nearly as much. Terry Pegula is basking in Bills fever and he made a somewhat telling comment last week.. His comment on the Bills was “ you don’t have to micro-manage when you have competent people running things”.

Tage Dahlin A Goalie.

I was st Canalside several times in the past few months , looking for Lorentz, walking on old Aud grounds. Didn’t see Jim but thought I saw a ghost or two.

You aren't reading. YOU, you, specifically you. I said it 3 times so you get it. Said and I will quote " best case Benson could approach 60pts.... that said, he still wouldn't crack the top 6 on an established playoff team." You set the threshold at 60pts on multiple posts. You then said that isn't a top 6 winger. Either you are not writing what you mean, or you believe that if Zach Benson scored 60pts, he still wouldn't be a top 6 player. Which is it? If you are arguing that Benson is not a top 6 right now, sure by points he might not be. I guess we shall find out this season.

There are definitely bats in the keycenter now, lets get some more in there. Home ice advantage!

Only way i see him approaching that 30 goal season is on a PP where they just shoot pucks at him and he gets better at deflections. So in that regard, maybe putting on some functional strength would do him well. When he was in the middle of our power play i feel like he didn't do that and just shot weak shots from the high slot in a panic.

I admit that I didn’t watch a ton of Kraken hockey, but his fancy stats look good and he brings a handedness & mean streak that we haven’t seen out of a top four D. It’s why I listed him in my top three. We need that guy to be money.

Sure you can red x it and put your meme up but you have no argument. I'm no big Casey fan but he was our leading scorer before he left and he's a 50 pt. a year guy. You want Roslovic by all means sure, but there is a hole to be filled. Just hoping for what was here to be better is dumb.

I certainly think he'd be better on the wing. Just focus on one side of the ice and keep it north-south and up the wall. Keep it simple.

I don't believe that will ever happen.

Is he? Sorry if my hopes aren't up. I hope he is.

The players that players that could get the sabres back to the playoffs are players that are high variance types. The type that you honestly dont know what you're going to get season to season. To me, the three that could massively out perform expectations are quinn, upl, and norris (for injury reason). You get a good to great season from any or all of these guys... we should be talking about playoffs. Honorable mention to doan and levi

"The criteria is play forward, are the 4th guy on that team in points." You're proving my point, Benson was 9th on the team in points (forwards).... how does that translate to top 6 winger? I suppose that was all Ruff's and Cozens fault? I'm not buying it.

I just met Jim Lorentz at the Sabres BBQ at Sahlen Field today. I wanted to tell him my story of getting a bat out of our church this past Sunday. The bat showed up in the front pew at the end of mass. I was able to cover him with a trash bin, slide a piece of plastic under it, and get him out. I told Mr. Lorentz my story. He told me that he was almost ARRESTED after his bat incident for animal cruelty! 😂

UPL, Norris and Power

K-9, thank you.

If they are interested in growing the game and making more money, you'd assume both parties would be interested. This reeks of an owner's concession to pay less money. Short sighted logic. If they didnt allow nmc's, you wouldn't have to worry about bargain deals in no tax states.
