No I know he's an RFA. Future not determined unless something happened while I'm typing this and haven't looked at the new topics yet.............

I think his nickname is Kozi or something.. but I'd call him Nugget.

Here is where the roster stands Forwards Thomspon Kulich Tuch Benson Norris Quinn Zucker McLeod (RFA) Greenway Malenstyn Krebs Doan (Kozak-RFA, Danforth) Defense Dahlin Byram (RFA) Power Kesselring Samuelsson Timmins (RFA) Johnson Bryson Goalies UPL, Lyon, Levi (RFA) Lyon is an upgrade on Reimer, but what do we need a 5'8 4th line player for in Danforth?

Yay I kid. He's good for what he is. We need more.

everything you've said was said about the BILLS during their epic drought. And the new GM & coach turned everything around by having a plan on how to do it & executing on it. The BILLS success didn't come over night. But thru smart drafting & adding certain role players, they were able to turn the team into a perennial contender & destination. The same thing could happen to the Sabres, there's nothing preventing that from happening other than the guy whose been running the show hasn't been able to execute a successful plan to win games. His name is Kevyn Adams. He seems to feel that he needs palm trees to turn this thing around. The BILLS didn't need any excuses.

Does this put Shane Doan in Rochester?

This is the barometer. We should all get a good sense of where things stand. If Tuch chooses to re-sign here and it's not a significant over payment then perhaps there's something about the team we are missing. However, if he bolts then it's Armageddon because I'm not sure how they spin "local boy spurns homeclub hockey team for 'anyone else'"

https://www.jacketscannon.com/2024-25-player-review-justin-danforth-provided-critical-depth/ Jackets fan site gave him a B- grade for last season. Can play wing or Center.

That's a phrase best used after eating at Taco Bell. But, come to think of it.. I feel the same after thinking about the Sabres.

Hell, Zack Benson might be taller.

I'm going for Byram to Calgary for Rasmus Andersson and LV's 1st in 2026

IDK - I think Adams is responsible for creating the culture driving free agents to say "anyone else". It's not like he's just been in the job for just a year....he's had enough (if not too much) time to create an atmosphere to attract top free agents. He has failed and I can't cut him any slack for being new in the job or other legit excuse. He's had 5 years and is sleeping in the crap bed that he's responsible for making.

Yay cheaper than I thought now use the damn cap space on someone worth paying.

Jarmo effect Fourth Liner will better metrics than Lafferty

Well, he owns less than 50% of the drought total... the joke that is the top of the organization is the real culprit.

Well, we were in on a lot of conversations. Big conversations. But in the end, we hadn't planted enough palm trees. And our fans were fed misinformation, which really gets my goat, and I'm sad for them that we just have to go into the season with our RFAs, except for McLeod whom we took the picks for on the offer sheet because that 5x$4.5M was just too much because he'd block Helenius in year 3. But I have all the resources I need! Something like that?

Yeah, this forum and Sabres fans everywhere are secretly part of a multi-year psychological study performed by the University of Phoenix. Years from now we'll all feel better about how we demonstrated a professional hockey team can impact the mental health of a wide number of people over a prolonged period of time. I mean, if the Bills can be in a Hallmark Christmas Movie.. why not?

Earth shattering pickup of Alex Lyons!

I know today was going to suck, but this sucks worse than the suckiest sucking day I had envisioned
