Palm Trees And Taxes

I think the Tuch hype that we are seeing is a result of a fan base like ours absolutely starving for anyone to believe in. Plus Tuch being a WNY guy does prop him up a bit, I understand why that happens but also it inflates his impact a bit. Krebs is the player that we REALLY should be waiting for, he is the key to the Eichel trade and that will not change.

Well this sucks

As far as judging KA and his eye for talent, it starts for me with Jack Quinn. Then Owen Power. And now, haven't the Sabres hired some hot shot analytics people and will be lean on them to make the ultimate decisions?

When? Sometime in 2022.

6-2 Ducks. Carry on.

When you spend 1.5M TOTAL on goalies, expect NOTHING less folks.

Now I just wait for the Rachel's Mediterranean Grill advertisement with baited breath...

Great job by Cozens to grab that puck for Bret Murray!

I think we just need to all come to the cold harsh realization that many scouts missed on Dahlin and we will be fortunate if Rasmus becomes a 45-50 point defenseman and good on the PP that is at least adequate defensively at his peak.

I absolutely hate the Kraken

Really not shocked tonight this IS their 6th game in 8 nights. Great job NHL schedulemaker.

I still say: Move Dahlin to C.

At least Gerber Collision is hiring....

Yesss thank you for this!!!

My memory is fuzzy on this one but: Wasn't there a Calgary Buffalo game in the LaFontaine years where Pat got injured against the Flames and the 2nd time they played there were an insane amount of fights and PIM's?

I always say this about anywhere you live: Its only the armpit of America if you don't use the right deorodent

Was thinking maybe there was a goalie out there that a team would like to move for salary cap relief that has say a year left that the Sabres can get for a very cheap price, but even looking at that, there isn't much if anything out there that KA can pursue.

Said this 1000 times and will say it 1001: The tank for McDavid/Eichel was absolutely the best move. The steps AFTER the tank is what gave the perception that the tank was wrong.

Let the tank commence

Well they say in most cases the truth is in the middle so I suppose we will never 100 percent know. All I know is it seems because of a fluky decent start for the Sabres some fans have lost sight of the true cancer. Ownership. They still are a #@#@ stain in my eyes and have MUCH to prove to change that fact.

Would Dahlin be best with Jokiharu?

Dominik Hasek demanded to be traded and wanted to orchestrate the trade to the team he wanted and wanted to ensure the Sabres did NOT get a big return to ensure that the team that Dom was going to was going to be a Cup contender. Eichel wanted to have surgery that has never been performed on a NHL player EVER to ultimately HELP the team he still wanted to leave, to get Buffalo a better return so he can still help he team he wanted to leave. Just marinate on this for a bit.

Sounds about right. Krebs is the entire key to the deal. No way to sugarcoat it.

Dahlin's rookie year the forward crop was much better then now or in the previous two seasons. Are offensive defenseman like Dahlin more co-dependent on having skilled forwards then the other way around? For example if you plop Dahlin on Edmonton now, how many points does Dahlin rack up this year?

If there is one point that should be taken from this trade its this in regards to today's NHL: Cap space IS King.
