We can dream for a few hours

Frankly, are AHL guys worse than what the Sabres have been icing the last 5 years?

Well, ALMOST no one. 😉

Levi has been solid. Had a bad game last week but he’s still one of the best goalies in the league. He’ll be ready soon, maybe later this season if they unload UPL.

I know people that were once a part of the team. Players, coaches, and front office. Even they complain about what’s going on. Listen to the folks on TNT, HNIC, ESPN. I make a point to listen to the opponents broadcasts on ESPN+ to hear what they say about this team. Everyone knows there is a big problem in Buffalo. No one blames the fans for it.

About 20%

We have 3 healthy goalies in Buffalo already. Leave Levi in Rochester.

We are basically icing an AHL team at this point. What percent of the roster are we at for players who started the year in the AHL?

When you watch him play do you find him to be a consistent performer or are there games where he is noticeably off?

What would be nice is to see Owen Power step up.

I meant since jjp getting picked. Kisakov is gone and Poltapov isn't coming. I should have clarified that. I keep wondering if someone he knows is connected to the team. Only reason to constantly go after ppl for rightfully pointing out the teams failures, such as their bad drafting.

I fully support this as well. I also think what we are seeing/hearing may just be the tip of the iceberg.

This is one of those episodes where it is all Ted, but no Barney. Bleh.

…. and keep UPL out of the net.

“EVERYONE HERE” does not do this nonsense. Some people, sometimes will say some things that support your claim. You have an unusual desire to act as a voice of reason, a mediator between the team and the fans. Unfortunately, your excuses for this team (including Pegula and Adams) often come off as a way to satisfy your own need to argue and poke others. I’m pretty sure most people here think that Terry is a nice guy that wants to do better. But the past 15 year performance of this team cannot be defended, and palm trees, taxes, and weather have nothing to do with it. Terry makes bad decisions because he is over his head and he can’t or won’t find the right help.

Imo, let Levi continue to cook in the A unless injury disasters necessitate a call-up.

Is Levi ready to move up to the big league, or would it be better for him to stay in place and get more experience? I appreciate you and @inkman's Rochester reports.

Konsta Helenius is the obvious pick. Zach Jones leads the league in assists, Jake Leschyshyn is quietly leading the team in goals mostly due to call ups.

Well, two of them are currently up with the Sabres. That said, Helenius and Metsa look very good. I’m surprised at what they’re getting from Kuntar so far and Novikov is a steady force on the back end. Levi has been stellar, his last couple games notwithstanding. The Amerks as a whole are a grittier bunch.

He should have never been hired. It’s what I said then and nothing has changed. You mean besides JJP in 2020 and Poltapov and Kisakov in 2022. Plus he drafted 7 forwards in the 1st round. The real issue is how few of those picks are contributing. It doesn’t help that the idiot in charge traded away Peterka. Quinn looks a dud. Savoie was traded away. Kulich is injured. Östlund and Rosen still aren’t full time NHLers. Kisakov is a bust. Helenius is in the minors. Poltapov is in Russia and is unlikely to come over. Benson is the current NHLer who is a proven NHLer but he’s hurt. This litany of failure is just one of many reasons Howdy Doody should be fired.

Since 2020 Kevyn Adams has used 1 second round pick on a forward. Anton Wahlberg.

Kevyn Adams should be fired, it's that simple.

Except in England. “Got an ‘Ouse ‘ere fer sale. ‘Ardly enyfink wrong wi’ it’.

Well... here we go again. The Hurricanes actually draft well and even play hockey in a fun coherent manner. Their biggest issue is they don't necessarily have a true best of the best but they've got some really good players. Didn't sound like we're getting any forwards back so the questions are simple... can Buffalo stop a Carolina team that's better then them? Who plays pp 1 without Dahlin here? Will Seth Appert ever turn into a butterfly if Pegula likes him hard enough? How many more games will UPL get? When will Kevyn Adams be fired?
