Palm Trees And Taxes

It is so bad now I truly believe the Buffalo Sabres are better off folding as a franchise and coming back as an expansion team to get ridiculous Vegas like benefits

Agree. Small steps at a time and getting Ullmark and Eichel back while this group of players that the Sabres might keep gel would be a welcome sight. As for the players that Adams will not keep, jettison them ASAP

The Sabres Banners guy on Twitter should make a banner for tonight At Least Cozens Scored - 3/22/2021

If you are at a bar its good

I still think if Sabres do a 50% retain on salary they can still fetch a low 1 from a contender

Old habits are hard to break

Might take 3 minimum to make a true difference with this bunch

I still say at the time Hall was a good roll of the dice for a year but now is the time to say saynora to Taylor.

Or about 12 cents per Sabres SOG

If the Sabres get a 5th round pick they should do an episode of Buffalo Sabres Embedded: 'How The Sabres Swindled A 5th Round Pick From The Avs'

I wonder if the COVID angle is really holding things up here, players need to be tested, do the Sabres need to quarantine again etc

For a 1st 2nd and an elite prospect? Oh wait Im playing NHL 21. Carry on

Kim and Terry, throw the $ at Kevin Weekes make him President,Czar whatever he wants. Weekes is exactly what this franchise needs.

The Field

I know coaching won't fix every issue that the Sabres have but there are quite a few examples over time where coaches come in and teams regress quickly and others are brought in (Berube in St. Louis, Trotz in NY) where a coaching change makes a MASSIVE difference. (Not saying this will have that same exact impact for the Sabres) To me this coaching change needs to fix a few things that are very important to the hopes that the Buffalo Sabres are brought back to relevance again and a playoff contender: 1. Rasmus Dahlin: Let's not forget he had 45 points as a rookie defenseman when he was 18. That skill does not just disappear into thin air. Put him in the best position for him to be the best defenseman he can be. Period. 2. Jeff Skinner: The contact is an albatross, but get this guy back to a 27-33 goal guy who is excellent 5X5 and is a Top 6 guy and we can 'live' with most of that salary. 3. Dylan Cozens: VERY important that the new coach puts DC in the right position to grow his game and take it to the next level like a lot of us expect. I know there are more but I feel these 3 really fall on the new coach that is brought in and are more important IMO. And you know what? It can't get any worse! Can it?

5-3 Sabres. Scoring from all lines, solid defense and sound goaltending... Oh wait I forgot was decade I was in....

?????

Agree. The captain is generally given to the best player nowadays but the key is there needs to be some sound veteran leadership along with that and the Sabres seem to be void of that

I would love to say you will be wrong but so much has changed at ESPN since they last aired the NHL. Let's see how this is handled and will not comment on that until we see what they do.

Over/Under on when the 'Sabres Are Better Without Eichel' thread is created? Ill set it at 14.5 hours.

Living out here in Southern California Im enjoying watching the Los Angeles Kings. Watch out for this team, an almost embarrassment of riches in the system, they are slowly building a monster and will be great sooner then later. Also, Anze Kopitar: Such an underappreciated great player, does so many little things that don't show on the stat sheets that most look at, is cementing his HOF credentials this season.

The tone and body language that Adams took when addressing Jack Eichel and if he asked for a trade to me made me feel he is a little uncomfortable with that question and answer. Not very confident in his response if you ask me.

Adams keeps talking about Gritty over and over... Is this our next Head Coach?

Kevin Weeks for Czar would be AMAZING
