Ruff Around The Edges

Ahhh I didn't realize that pick 7 was out of that deal I thought it was so that had me thinking 100 percent leverage.

I truly believe Ottawa used the Sabres as leverage for Murray, I think they 100 percent knew that Murray would not accept and that got Chicago moving so Ottawa can get DeBrincat.

I have to agree. I don't see salary dump moves coming via the Sabres way. This team had horrid attendance last year, I'm sure the order was to spend TO the floor and that is it.

Very true, its a dicey situation. Whatever the call is, just hope the Sabres really do their due diligence on the Russian players now

This is a MASSIVE year for the Adams regime. To me its everything. If I am in the Sabres organization and when consdering the situation in Russia right now in terms of availability being a question mark, and in many ways, hard to handicap how it will unfold, I am passing on the Russian players for now. Adams needs to hit home runs in this draft, KA does not need to ground out into DP's. If KA drafts Russians and the worst happens, he will be unemployed sooner then later.

From picks 11-50 we are going to see a few players taken 20+ picks higher than most think and some that slip way lower than anyone imagined. The draft is very deep.

38th in GAA 44th in SV% 33rd in Wins..granted this does not mean he is elite by any stretch of the imagination but he is an adequate backup.

I agree, i just threw a couple of names out there to start, deal can of course be tinkered

Quick is a real possibility, keep in mind Quick does not have a NMC in his contract and its 1 year 5.8M AAV.

If Craig Anderson is a solid close to .500 goalie who starts 20-25 games and is an excellent presence in the locker room: This is $1.5M well spent. If GMKA thinks Anderson is a 50+ start goalie and want to pair him with a UPL who has never shown the ability to stay healthy, then it is a disaster. Rangers really need a lefty shot, I can feel an Olofsson deal where he goes to NY and the Sabres get Georgiev/Nemeth and sign Georgiev for a couple of years and he gets his chance to be a #1 and roll with Georgiev before Levi is ready

Not sure why Pronman has the Sabres taking Korchinski: Do the Sabres need to take another LHD Top 10 in the draft? We already have Dahlin and Power as left handed shots. I don't see this happening.

I see virtually zero reason why the Sabres should trade for Kane. First he has a NMC, he can reject it with ease. Second, are we really a big asset away from serious contention? To give up a guy like Cozens? Not a chance. If Kane wants to come here, let him sign after next year where the Sabres would give up no assets.

Yes thats exactly it!

These are you only two options, which one would you take as GM?

Ill tell you what, SO many of you here and myself at times that have been sticking with this team through some VERY dark times lately: We earned this tonight. Enjoy it!

Friday April 1st 2022: A Night we might all look back years from now as the celebration of our legend RJ and the official ushering in of a new era in Buffalo Sabres history.

i like this thought

But hey those money lines are LIFE that they are showing on the Nashville feed! Roar more Draft Kings! More wagers!!! More creating degenerates!!!!

No excuses with networks, tonight is a night you get this on TV somehow somewhere.

Absolutely ATROCIOUS Nashville feed oblivious to this.....typical. Yes we MUST know the sports book odds. HORRIBLE

ESPN is blacked out and ESPN Nashville feed going through Nashville pre game TERRIBLE JOB

If the Peguals were paying GM's to tank, the former Sabres GM's would be doing anything to retain their jobs as the richest GM's in sports.

Wouldn't mind seeing Adams checking in to see if there is anything the Sabres can do to ease their cap 'pain' and get more future assets in return.

More of the same... Oh we will be back next year... Josh Allen will win a Super Bowl, we need to make move X, X and Y blah blah blah I am tuning out all that garbage from this day going forward. Nothing is going to change folks. THIS is who we are and will ALWAYS BE. 2022 schedule is brutal, coaches and players will leave and regression will kick in. This WAS the chance. And now it is GONE.

Just a question in general, is the defensive issue more of a talent issue over a system issue? Meaning if the Sabres go FA and get a defenseman or two and Power arrives will we see significant improvements or is this a Granato thing?
