I haven’t heard it anywhere but I always felt Quinn & Peterka were largely responsible for Dylan’s offensive success. Maybe it’s not the case but seeing every player buoyed that’s paired with Dahlin made me think of it. Samuelsson and Joker both have Dahlin to thanks for their modicum of success at the NHL level. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s was similar with Cozens and his two former linemates. Don’t hurt your elbow patting yourself on the back

Not sure if this was posted earlier in the thread

Reminder

I can take or leave the 5th round pick they’d get for him

Reminder

Why? He’s been terrible for two straight seasons. Every player on the Sabres roster was worse when Dylan is on the ice.

I mean he wasn’t very good but he’d fight when needed.

Reminder

I know Gilbert doesn’t really move the needle but why is this org constantly removing any toughness that exists on the roster. It’s maddening.

Because it’s not true

Is he fine or is he fiiiiinnnneee?

I feel seen

Tage or Dahlin. That’s what it would take.

More like rough defense, amiright?

I’m glad someone said it. JJ’s defense is comically poor. No interest in putting the effort in to play defense. He’s a wonderful offensive player but let’s not act like he doesn’t have warts.

For Rempe and a first E5

There has been no indication from anyone involved with the Sabres that anything will be done anytime soon.

Ah yes let’s add $60 million in player salary to a team that has <checks notes> negative $10 million in cap space. Salary is fake, yada yada.

I guess that was tremendous foresight on your part as I didn’t see anyone re-signing with the team before the end of the season.

Am I the only one that is somewhat annoyed with the “signing” portion of this thread? That’s what my octogenarian dad calls trades in sports. They aren’t signings. They are trades. Signings occur on and after July 1st. Please don’t fill my ear (or eyes) with how players like Greenway signed extensions in March. That’s clearly not the intent of this topic.

The discussion for Greenway needs to start and end with the penalty kill. He’s an elite PK specialist. He also contributes 5 on 5. But his calling card is the penalty kill and he doesn’t hurt you 5 on 5.

To be fair, if they resign Greenway and Zucker, the Sabres would be lucky to get a few mid round picks for Joki, Bryson and Gilbert
