Sorry to hear that. Dogs are a big part of a family. Chin up, sounds like there is a chance.

Now that KA being gone is a strong possibility, acquiring an experienced goalie could happen. At this point I just want anyone to provide average goaltending and give this team a chance to win every night.

I don't like the return. Rossi is good. Ohgren, Buium, and a 2026 1st are all mystery boxes. If you're trading Dahlin, I need something like 2026 1st, Sam Dickinson, Will Smith. Igor Chernysov. Some will be mad I'm not saying more established players but that's never how these trades work.

Is Hughes as good as Dahlin (or better or worse?) How would everyone feel if Buffalo had a new GM and traded Dahlin for that return?

Weird stuff alert… At the 11min 45sec mark in the postgame show, Paul Hamilton (not on this road trip) says when the tv cameras focused on Sabs bench, that to him at least, it appears Seth Appert is actually coaching the team, with Lindy standing behind him…these last 2 games. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sabres-hockey/id1142057803?i=1000740961549

I think the Hughes trade is the start of a major rebuild in Vancouver, which means they could retain a big part of EP40s salary, if they get a good return.

This! The rumors of Appert taking over post fire are really concerning. It's the same exact plan that was rumored with Adams. There is no need to move Lindy into the FO mid season and Appert has done nothing, at all, ever, in his career to deserve a shot as bench boss. Adams to HC is just like Forton to assistant coach. It's just Terry handing out favors to friends.

Nice move by Guerin!

No he cannot. Terry has proven that he'll listen to anybody in the building. This is exactly how Adams got the job, by having Terry's ear, and talking to him about things well outside of his role. Adams has to do, and frankly so does Forton.

I don't want DeBoer, I want them to promote Leone and his staff.

Does this help Kevyn's chance of survival watching another GM be worse at their job?

I watched The Hockey Guy's (members only) video where he comments on the trade. He lives in Canucks territory and they're his #1 rooting interest. He basically sounds like Sabrespace in the aftermath of the Eichel trade. He even called the Canucks the worst run team in the history of the NHL. He's pretty despondent. We all know how he feels.

Well it is basically the 4 firsts for an allstar price tag that the NHL set for offer sheets way back. It's kind of the standard. You have to hand it to Minnesota for going for it. There's a team that knows they have to be better now to get out of that "group of death" (using the World Cup term). It's likely an overpay if they don't sign him to an extension, but if they do, he's the best player in the deal and thus they win the deal. Isn't that the rule? idk, let's ask Eichel or Reinhart 🙂 All I can say for sure is "The Hockey Guy" (who is a Canucks fan) is really really not happy.

From the article? Pete, who is COO, would be odd. Lindy's opining on the status of his boss?

After the dealership I took my dog to the vet because she has a lump on her leg. The vet took a needle biopsy and had bad news, said it's likely an aggressive cancer. They sent the samples to a lab for confirmation. He said if they can get the entire tumor removed from her leg and don't miss any, she may have a full recovery, but it sounded like a pretty big IF to me.

The Quinn Hughes deal makes Minnesota (if healthy) a potential threat to Colorado and Dallas. But what they really need is to go full Florida and trade with the Sabres to add to their ex-Sabre factor including the new guy who helps them get over the edge. They already have: MoJo, Hinostroza, Foligno, and Bogosian. Add Tuch and now we're talking Cup contender!

I hear you, as they have the most upside, but you have to realize that's essentially rolling with 2 rookies or unproven players. We'd all like Levi to become the guy but right now he's still just an AHL guy. It's very very risky. I'd still like to see an established vet in there and then whichever of Levi or Ellis is better wins the other spot. If they both outplay the vet then so be it.

They ain’t winning a Cup

Wait, is the Other Quinn a UFA at the end of his current deal?? *Sabres obviously have THE Quinn ... 🙃

If the Sabres win in Seattle, who are THEY moving?

NHL is hot on giving another team to Atlanta instead of obvious markets like Houston, Quebec City

Buium should have done another year of college. Ohgren surprises me a little, I liked him more than Östlund. Looks like I got that one wrong. Unless they win a cup. Then why would they care?

I wouldn’t sign in Minny. Just go to the Devils when his contract is up and the Wild loses this trade big time

Christ!!! 100% THIS! 👆👆👆👆 You hit the nail on EVERY head!!!!
