Like did that dude really know when he started yapping he was dealing with a professional athlete whose job it was to knock people out... LOL

A lot to like about McTavish... really solid size, offensive upside... I would consider this a win I think if we could get him...

Glad to see Cliff doing so well... wonder if the Glasgow team will out sell the Sabres in tickets this year... lol... Stay tuned...

Or…

….has signed for Sheffield Steelers in the UKs EIHL for this season. in other EIHL news, Glasgow Clan are assembling a strong looking team to build on reaching playoffs last season. Clan have also sold record levels of season tickets for the upcoming season. Demand so high they have to release extra from general admission.

This is great news! Now everyone, hear me out. I've got an idea... First, we start simple...we go back in time. Then, we let Benson play in the minors one more year knowing we can get him to Rochester the following year. Then...we bring him up this year...and he's ready for his first taste of NHL action and competes for rookie of the year. I think this can work.

Oh definitely.

Senator Megan Hunts response: ***** ICE and anyone who supports them!!

The S & P reaching another record high is a distraction? I don't think they S & P works that way. Giving i bought the dip, I hope there's many distractions for years to come. I would want that no matter who was in office. It's a good thing.

Trying to distract the people from real problems.

Um. A what ?

My guess would be Adams never even thought of trying to do this. I'd say you can forget about Robertson. He isn't going anywhere.

Okay that's more reasonable. I can't say I remember what everybody said about Casey and I've never been a fan myself as I do think he's lazy but I do think it's easier to find a McLeod than it is a 50 plus point offensive forward to add to your roster. Right now we have a hole where Peterka was and if we do not fill that hole that hole will be part of the reason for next year's failure. Realistically, if we were good enough to possibly make the playoffs there'd be no discussion. McLeod would be our 3C.

All the Sabres management does is sell good players for nothing

No you are mistaken. He got 50+ points 2 years in a row. He got a lousy 40 last year in his **** season.

Well, that's kind of the scary thing. Was Dahlin's back injury just a fluke "muscle spasm" or the like? Or is it something structural and are the days of him playing 80 games in the past? When he tried to play through the 1st injury from the absolute beginning of TC he was at best 80% of his usual self. But when he came back after the 9+ games he missed, he was looking like his normal self almost from the 1st shift back on the ice. So, will hesitantly expect that the injury is more of a muscle spasm type thing that through proper stretching, exercise, prep, nutrition, and maintenance can not only be overcome but can leave him in even better shape than we've become accustomed to. (To not expect it, as a fan, is just too depressing a path to go down.) As long as the Sabres don't lose Dahlin for any extended period and they don't lose whichever goalie ends up the #1, they'll be able to ride out injuries like any other team will. But, with as little margin as they have, THOSE would be catastrophic injuries. And will necessarily presume that they won't suffer those particular injuries because if they do, they're in the McKenna derby. If they avoid those, then yes, 85 should be the floor. (And hopefully, Adams WE finally gets the luck he's Adams planned for 4 years in a row to date and they actually end up as good as he expects them to be.) IF Dahlin is healthy and they get legit GTing that stays healthy, they can overcome the 5 games that both Thompson and Tuch are out together and the other 10 that one of them is out. Same goes with the rest of the crew.

Right but while Adams may bank on better luck on the injury front as a means to improvement i don’t personally find that to be a smart tact (and one should balance the injury playing field when comparing year over year, anyways) I get that’s not the mindset you’d have should you actually be responsible for building the club thankfully but tbh I don’t even feel comfortable projecting better overall health even as a thought exercise considering, as mentioned, injuries are a guaranteed part of every year. It’s been 3 seasons since neither of Dahlin or Tage missed at least 10 games, and Tuch nearly missed double digits that year team is break even at best on paper

I think with the NCAA as an option there may be fewer teenagers stagnating in the CHL once they have hit their junior ceiling. I believe the CHL teams will become weaker as their top players move on earlier to NCAA or pro. They are a development league but selling tickets with kids like McKenna is more profitable.

We can always hope go Sabres

There's injuries on every team every year. And as unexpectly bad a some players were, there were also breakouts from McLeod, Peterka, and to a lesser extent Byram.

Even on last year's team, at absolute minimum they have 2 more wins should Dahlin not go out for nearly 10 games. Would say with no other moves, this is looking like 85 points.

Don't forget Dahlin getting injured really broke the defense. If we assume he plays 80 games, that might get you those 4 wins.

And that would be me. My wife and brothers ask me all the time why I care about them. It goes back to the AHL Bisons, 1966, the Aud, and a Pepsi with pop corn from the old fashion poppers.
