But easier, much easier to build a team.

We can only hope.

Well they are in the exact same spot we are except it’s harder to make the playoffs in the nfl. They will also turn it around eventually

Well one would hope so - he’s a top 10 pick. He’s supposed to be good at the very least if we aren’t going to trade the pick - that’s the expected trade off for sacrificing time

The Jets haven’t.

They won’t be bad forever Even the Lions turned it around

I'd give him another year in junior and then ahl or find an ncaa team. Then 2 years there. Mrtka as others have noted is going for his class with a June bday. He honestly might be better than Owen Power in the end. Sabres need to prioritize forward for a couple of drafts. Their forward prospect list is not great and it keeps getting weaker.

I agree. He has a sky is the limit type potential to him. But if he doesn’t pop he still looks like he will end up a Myers like dman which is an asset to the backend. JUST DON’T RUSH HIM!!

This is 100x better than listening to Collingsworth: It's the wgr radio call of the last 25 minutes (last 5min of game time) from Bills Ravens. It covers Palmers catch inside the 10 to the end of the game. So just before made it 32 to 40.

Many of the Sabres players really like soup.

I'm hearing it may or may not rain. It probably will.

They didn’t stand out like they should have.

Unless it was UPL version 23.24 he was not going to help. I agree that the hope was a bounce back season and it is possible for him to play some good hockey this year and help the team. Maybe this all accelerates the move away from him. A real battle between 4 goalies could have someone emerge as a decent option, which wasn’t the case last year until Reimer played well when it didn’t matter.

How did rosen/Östlund look?

I don't worry much about Benson or Kesselring.

You start Lyon and backup with Georgiev. You want Levi getting starts unless he proves he's better than Lyon.

Leinonen started. Tbh, I expect more from Mrtka. There's a few elements of his game I thought really shown late last season. I like Mrtka more as things go on.

UPL being injured probably makes the team better... so

pretty thorough list. I guess i'd add that the length of time the Sabres have been bad, some 15 years now & counting? Its another reason in & of itself for why we wont be better this year... its our momentum or trajectory we've been on for 15 years.... with the losing now ingrained into our culture. However i do deep down think we could be a couple points better on the season this year, 'could' being the key word. But thats not a lot to hang you're hat on & a couple points isnt the meaningful improvement we all yearn for. But after 3 consecutive seasons at falling deeper in the standings, we at least need to stop going backwards for a start.

Thanks for sharing this. It was nice to see some understanding and compassion in this thread instead of pitchforks and holier-than-thou perspectives. If he wasnt on company time, and maybe even if we was, Adam Mair doesn’t and shouldn’t be fired. He should get some help and likely therapy because I’m assuming he’s as upset at Adam Mair as everyone else is.

Bruins fan who cosplays as a Sabres fan invents a reason to dump on the team again, and this time before the season even starts! Bravo. 👏👏 Now this was funny.

They haven't lost a game yet. I'm not going to be negative just for the sake of being negative yet.

You are Dahlin Beef? Did you play last year?

Nobody asked.
