As much as I like Tuch the Sabres have convinced me they can lose with or without him. I’d prefer to let the next GM figure a way out of this mess.

It would seem to be the same result wouldn’t you think?

Start him in Rochester on an injury rehab designation and see if he can jump start himself against AHL rewards.

Which seems to be exactly how they're coached to do so. (Not saying they necessarily would be more aggressive / better in their own end with actual coaching; but when the coaching is good with just trying to passively take away passing lanes, guys that are predisposed to that style won't be incentivized to adjust.)

Figures that Jeremy White wouldn't be able to work an effective bot farm. Thankfully. Too early to say, but maybe we dodged at least THAT bullet.

Well put, they watch things happen instead of making things happen. Power has a bit of offensive skill, Mule has the skill and creativity of his pet name.

Should Bobrovsky have an extended absence, do they have a Lyon to save their bacon again? Missing your top player all season, your best power forward for nearly half of it, and a world class goalie would be a tough row to hoe. Especially when you factor in there will be other players missing a game or 2 here or there.

Update on the voting from the Sabres socials

What was extra funny about that season (2019) is that the Giants and Jets didn't combine for more Meadowlands wins until week 10, when one of them was guaranteed a win because they played each other.

Money is all that matters, no one really cares about Charlie Kirk or what happened in the end. The only thing that matters is making money off of it.

Pretty straight forward really Plays defense exactly how Power does, passively.

That's not a line. It's Zucker - McLeod - Tuch Benson - Norris - Thompson

my pet theory - based on total speculation - is this: samuelsson doesn’t actually like being a pro hockey player. son of a very good nhl’er. he was big. moved reasonably well. got on the pro hockey development train. it’s a life that chose him, not the life he chose. he just seems so uncommitted. so equivocal.

Chicago has the pick in the Seth Jones deal.

Boogie Nights is a damn masterpiece. Super excited for One Battle After Another

Good point by Shrader, I’m not sure. Still I don’t think picture of health would ever be an apt descriptor of the man I met him once at a club here, shook his hand (actually true). He complained of a broken finger afterwords (not actually true) Can’t polish a turd

Not caring where you play is a learned thought process, as hockey prospects begin an early non traditional life. He'd train in Vancouver if he played for any other organization. I'd have to research but I'm guessing players don't train in the city they play at least partially until other things manifest. I.E. married with kids living in the city they play / longer term contract.

I think they have too much talent to fall that far. They weather the storm until Tkachuk is back around Christmas and they continue to tread water.

If Tage is already close to asking out, then Tuch isn't the linchpin. I'm not trying to say I don't understand what you're saying. However if we sign Tuch and still lose Tage as you suggest as being already half way there. To me that would mean that's an entirely different discussion than lumping Tuch into that. A lot would have to happen and be true for what you suggested. I used Benson as a parallel argument. If this, then ... can be speculated.

great

Who has their 1st this coming draft? Should the Swamp Cats have 1 or 2 more injuries, that team might've lucked into a top 16 pick when they were expecting to get something between 26 and 32. Kind of an inverse of when the Sabres traded O'Reilly away.

May the force be with you! Wait...they are not just rolling over for us? That looks like a decent lineup. Didn't they get the memo?

Might be a great prop bet (or not) for Vegas should the Bills open on the road vs the J-E-S-T jest Jest JEST or the Jints: in what week will the J-E-S-T jest Jest JEST and Jints combined have more wins in Met Life than the Buffalo Bills have. Would put it somewhere around weeks 8-10 this year. Though that could be giving the denizens of Met Life too much credit.
