The Wild are all-in. Fun target for Tuch.... The problem is they've got NTCs and NMCs like they don't have palm trees. Tarasenko has a M-NTC (signed from Yzerman). But they definitely need an upgrade from Tarasenko or Marcus Johansson in their top 6 if they really want to get past Colorado.

I don’t see a HC change this season even with a newly installed GM unless there is a team meltdown. Replacing the current GM is the priority, and then whatever follows be in the hands of someone who is more competent.

Snow in the forecast. Could be another adventure.

Dinner was at Tiki Taco. Bill was $88.50

Generally I agree with this and understand why Appert would be thought of as unqualified. However, professional coaching is amongst the least predictive of all professions. So who knows?

In order to fix the culture you need to burn the front office and start over, that includes the coaching.

It is harder for the Sabres to make big and consequential deals because so many players have Buffalo listed on their NTCs. When you become a scorned team because of your wretched reputation, the trade pool to consider is much smaller to draw from. Embarrassing reality.

Even if Jarmo becomes the GM, I don’t see a coaching change being made this season.

Bosa and Palmer back in today, Benford situation unknown, is he good to go or will he be sidelined by the toe? Seeing some fans over optimistic, putting Bills 40+ Pats 24. If Benford isn’t ready it will be a difficult day for he secondary, it may be…… A Toe to Far……. Go Bills!

“But it’s hard to make moves in today’s nhl”

If Jarmo becomes the GM, he’ll select the coach. If they are going to do this, just go it already. Other teams are making moves, see the Jarry and Hughes trades. No time like the present to get something done.

Adams’ hand selected successor to Lindy. The architect of a chronically underperforming power play. Can we please not? (Pegula likely will.)

He's allegedly made derogatory comments towards a child.

He was a stud in juniors. I always thought he’d be a star in the NHL, but he just fizzled out.

That's nice. Now show it translates to NHL success.

Around the EIHL. Hey, @steveoath, any idea what this is about?

I don't know what the Tuch contract situation is. He may just ride it out and put himself on the market to sign with another team that will put him in a better hockey situation. The sad and embarrassing reality is that the Sabres are one of the top teams most cited on NMCs. Most high-end players have no interest in coming here, and to make it even worse, the downtrodden Sabres have an ignominious history of their better players wanting out of this cesspool. This franchise created its own crippling stench.

I think any conversation would have started with our unprotected 1st plus Byram or Power then 1 or 2 other assets. The draft pick would give them an extra shot at McKenna probably. I don't see why we do it without a commitment.

Appert's last three years with the Amerks. 112-79-20-9. (.575) Won 4 of 7 playoff series. Made the final 4 in 22/23. His first year was shortened by COVID.

The SJS have drafted forwards the past 5 years. Centers 4 of the 5. If Misa hits, they will not want to pay three centers top dollar. If this team faces an ultimatum from Rasmus, then Smith would be an ideal return and what the Sabres need in terms of a top line scoring. Would hate to part with a blue chip D-man but I agree, the return cannot be lottery picks.

TP can transfer KA to his FLA estate to manage his 🌴 🌴🌴🌴& not pay NY 💸💸💸. Added bonus: they can talk more than daily!! 🎉🎉🎉

I want a proven coach and assume Lindy may want to move on. If it is a love connection, need to let Lindy & GM look at all positions on coaching staff and build a real staff.

Friedman mentioned on Saturday Headlines that there is a lot of noise around Buffalo, but he does not have anything concrete as of now

How many teams are carrying 3 right now? It’s something that seems tho have popped up a bit more in recent years. I don’t know if it’s the lower quality of goaltending around the league or waiver rules, but there’s been more of it. I know Carolina has 3 right now. And if you want high quality hockey coverage, you should check out what they have going here. I turned it on randomly a day or two ago and they were talking about potential trade targets for Anderson. The host seriously offered up Buffalo and Tage Thompson as an option. This guy is officially the Wookiee of Carolina coverage.
