Kulich is one part of several. I'd say Norris has just as much on his shoulders.

Call me if you need tickets. #1of9000

If anyone foresees him working his way onto one of the top two lines, it is a very small minority who do. I don't think many people think he will be a prolific scorer either. He's an energy and gritty player. The type of player that you have called that we need more of. What I liked in the clips that were shown on this thread is his willingness to hover around the net. Just maybe a young Zucker type of player who is not afraid to station himself in front of the net?

Well he’s not fat any more and he made it through the year uninjured. 😁

Nothing has changed that opinion.

thought it was gonna be a compare and contrast with the infamous RJ helmet (face shield) trope.

Former coach and GM of the Olean Oilers.

A situation that we should have here but don't.

That's my point. We don't have enough veterans. There is a lack of competition for spots. His spot is guaranteed, as are most spots. That's been part of the problem for years now.

Ya there was. I'm not going to go searching but that's what started me on this path.

Yes he is "fine". I want him to be great. He can be, but the way we do things he might just be "fine".

I think that's true to some extent. I will bet he plays better D there in time but he's there to score goals that's for sure. Their top 6 looks good.

What a joke of a franchise. Another big announcement to say everything is the same. I read today they have 9000 season tickets sols. So, there's a minimum of 9000 mentally insane people in Buffalo, no wonder nobody wants to come 🙂

I don’t think anyone perceived Leinonen as anything other than a fat, fragile colossal bust-in-the-making over his first 2 post-draft years.

it was incredible. having ray emery in goal helped matters, of course.

No need for a trade when the new number 1 centre is already in the room.😁

Pegula had a clause in his renegotiated BCA contract to nope out of the arena. Marrone had a clause to nope out of his Bills contract. Do you think that Key Bank entered into an iron clad contract with no out for an arena with has no owner or lease holder? Lol.... I would bet my mortgage that this is about as non-committal an agreement as they get in pro sports.

As long as the GM is worried about missing the playoffs 2-3 years from now, the Sabres will never make the playoffs now.

Honestly, watched him play and thought here is a kid that can really play in this league... so I have hope that he makes a difference... only problem is, everytime I have hope.... well... you know as well as I do... so, I am kinda numb to it all and in lets wait and see... lots a talk, team chemistry change new players etc... I am Missouri... show me...

Breaking news 🙄

Fanbase can only work with the pieces they are given

They actually do, at least in the near term. You think an entity like Key Bank would commit to something that was day-to-day volatile? No chance. Business is business. There is a plan in place that Key Bank finds acceptable for now.
