With all the pedigree the D unit has, it SHOULD be a strength of the team. But yet, it's coached by arguably a moron, so ... there's that.

I’m not wedded to Chenakov. Jarmo’s input about this player should be helpful.

They think Zac Jones is going to make the Sabres roster and be a difference maker? LMAO. At best he's beating out Bryson and or Johnson for the 7/8 D slot. They seem to have missed the Sabres piss poor goaltending in their analysis.

Krebs is easily replaceable. From production to health, Chinakov looks extremely replaceable, too. Moreso because he's a winger only.

I strongly believe that internal improvement by the young core(Power, Quinn, Kulich and Benson, and to a lesser degree Samuelsson) will be a big determining factor for success this season. It’s apparent that the GM is betting on it.For me, a big gamble is being placed on UPL by the GM. I’m very queasy about that.

I think the difference I referred to is obvious: the complete 180 in GOP ideology today compared to the Reagan/Bush era. The difference may also refer to my own 180 as well. I had tremendous respect for Bush 41, especially, as well as many other Republican politicians over the years. There are absolutely ZERO Republican pols I can say that about today. As for this being my collective posting thread, if you don’t care to read my content, don’t bother. If the volume of my posts annoys you, what can I say? But as this administration continues to abuse its power and stretch the limits of the rule of law, I’ll continue to posts my protestations, so brace yourself because until these fascists are voted out of office, my posts will continue.

I think he's probably done. The only moves I think he has left is possibly trading someone like Kozak, Bryson, Malenstyn or Ryan Johnson, but those type of moves are likely during the pre-season. I believe the Byram signing signals the end of any major Adams moves before next season. I believe these are your 25-26 Buffalo Sabres. Forwards Thompson Kulich Benson Quinn Norris Tuch Zucker McLeod Greenway Danforth Krebs Doan (Malenstyn, Kozak) Defense Dahlin Byram Power Kesselring Samuelsson Timmins Bryson (Johnson) Goalies UPL, Lyons (Levi back to Rochester - He's waiver exempt) Another season millions from the cap and another missed opportunity top build a playoff team.

Indeed. This story has been replayed many times.

This. One notch above JAG. Noah waits in the wings. Played solidly in his 8-game tryout last year.

Most good players have no move clauses which limits our options in pursing bigger deals. It’s an ugly reality that this troubled franchise has to contend with.

I like Krebs as an effort player. However, I see him as being very replaceable.

How about they get out of the bargain bins and make a move for a known good player that is proven? When will that ever happen?

The Sabres have one of the least impressive center spines in the league (even if TNT plays center) and Norris is lucky to play over 55 games. Why are we wanting to trade a center who has gotten better in the dot every season (and is now not a complete liability at 49 FO%) and hits (136) and will actually defend his teammates, and put up 10 goals in 4th line minutes... ... for yet another oft-injured, non-hitting, quality-shooting winger whose best season is 16 goals and he hasn't had half as many in any other year despite getting 3rd line minutes? Goalofsson is a more dangerous and consistent scorer than Chinakov at this point.

It probably will be down the road. Krebs straight up, and then we cross our fingers. Personally, I want a known commodity top 6 player, not and injury prone player, or an over the hill player. The Sabres just keep dabbling on the fringes of the roster and we could end up with team of strangers with little veteran leadership - like last season.

What about Krebs and non- first round pick?

That's an overpay.

Hell no to Krebs and Helenius. Krebs and Helen-of-Troy instead.

Chinakov for Krebs and a B prospect. Get it done Jarmo.

The good news is... We always do the meetup in Buffalo, except the year I met a couple peeps for the game in Sweden (where we lost and got injured and were terrible)

Unfortunately I think both Jones and Bryson are on the big club

If it was a straight up Quinn or Kulich, I would give a hard no. I like Krebs because he is an effort player but to me is a replaceable player. Right now, I'm getting the sense that if a second-line forward is added it would be a veteran player who has already peaked and is on the downside and less costly. Maybe someone who is in the Zucker stage of their career.

It's why the only way out of this mess is for Pegula to publicly state that EEE is finished and the mission is back to winning Cups. (And then blowing Adams out of the ######## airlock!) (wrong franchise)

I think “for the right price”!kinda goes without saying in these kinds of discussions. He’s a talented 24-year-old winger with a ton of question marks. Quinn or Krebs straight across are ballpark offers; the kind of thing that gets done if the buyer and seller have opposite views of depreciated assets. Personally, I don’t do either. A top prospect or a 1st-rounder are too much, let alone 2 pieces; if that’s the ask, Waddell has no interest in trading him.

They’re pretty deep right now with RyJo, Rathbone, Komorov, Novikov, Metsa, and one of Bryson or Zac Jones being sent down. Laaouan got a two year AHL deal so that makes Tischke at least eighth on the depth chart. But injuries happen.
