Except the reports are that Levi plans to go pro when Northeastern season is done.
So, they very well could get both in ~3 months for the stretch. And, if they tell Portillo to stay another year, could definitely see him stay 2 more & walk to wherever he wants to be.
Then you got to bring in both IMO and figure that out. We need as many quality G's stacked up as possible
Haven't heard the Levi news about going pro this year, I only hoped he would. -

Nothing would thrill me more than seeing Tuch and Krebs light up Lehner. Too much to ask?
Nope, just the right amount to ask.. A good old fashion double digit shellacking

I wonder what happens if Anderson, UPL and Levi finish the season well.
UPL would almost certainly have a spot in Buffalo then. Levi will be one of the goalies in Rochester.
Would they bring in a Mrazek or Korpisalo type over signing Craig for another year?
I think they bring The Swedish Bull aka Erik Portillo in to Rochester 1st given the time line. Portillo could potentially go back into the draft if we keep him in College another year if I understand that correctly. Levi however I believe has the extra year or 2 to burn before we have to face that. So from that point of view Portillo 1st.
The question I have would it make sense to bring both Portillo and Levi in.. would there be enough games to satisfy their development if they split the duty. -

Yeh its hockey... seriously just a resentment toward Jack came out... dont really wish it on him... he's not Neal after Drury hit.
Glad to hear that.... I was taken back a bit by that.

Either way hope Samuelson runs him into the boards with a high hit...
SO you want to see someone produce a hit that lays Jack flat on the ice possibly paralyzed... and why would you want this?
I worry about the guy honestly. Which is why I was against the procedure he wanted if he was going to continue his career. One hit like that and it could be very very ugly. I am also concerned for the player who does hit Jack legally but has to witness and deal with this possibility...
But in no way would I wish this on anyone-

Yeah probably but with what's transpired during this ownership. It is his m.o.
we traded Eichel, Ristolainen and Reinhart, and let Ullmark leave via FA
If that is not a reset then nothing is. Not a chance in hell we would be doing that next season. M.O. or not... You got 3 to 4 years minimum before that's even a thought, and if that is where we end up Buffalo will chase the Pegulas out of town for realsies-

That is an old video from earlier this year (2nd video) .... But what stood out to me is how well Devon tracks the puck. He makes it look effortless
I had to post the tweet cause I couldn't find a copy on youtube.-

Devon Levi with Shutout #7 for the season7 hours ago, dudacek said:⬆️ 3) Devon Levi: I know I’ll get pushback on this, but I am all in on Levi. This kid is special and has proven it all year, first as a junior and now in college. He’s yet to have a bad game and he has had many, many great, even perfect ones - 10 shutouts in 26 games. He is single-handedly making Northeastern relevant. His athleticism, tracking, technique and focus are all superb. The only thing stopping him from getting more hype is his size and the general NHL reluctance not to consider goalies under 6’2”. That may stop him from NHL success, but it sure hasn’t been an issue anywhere else. He’s a boom or bust who’s still got a few more doors to smash and is a few years away, but I’m not among the doubters, He’s got that “it” factor.

I agree with most of this, especially on Levi.
I am really pulling for this guy. His athleticism, focus and demeanour are leading him to success at every level so far. I think he needs to turn pro next year and take on the next level. It sounds like he is driven to improve and his size can be overcome. I can’t get enough information on him and will watch him whenever I can. We need to be patient but so far he has progressed rather quickly.
I believe the Sabres have a solid group of prospects, maybe tops in the league. I can remain patient and I hope the owners do too.

Heading into the new year above .500 and then getting stronger down the stretch.
TO be honest I already bought in when I signed my lifelong Sabres fan card 50 years ago

Phil's style just did resonate with this team IMO.. The team gave up on him and that's usually a tell tale sign of a coach.

Its all about consistency now, but they are a capable team.

that's a tough pill to swallow...…. Very sad an unfortunate...

One of the things said about RFK (or maybe he said it about himself) when he was hired was that he likes to put players in a position to succeed. If this is true, RISTO WILL BE FINE. He's a strong, albeit flawed, defenseman, with the right partner, the right system and the right usage i could see him excelling.
That's the hope... Less minutes and paired with someone who has stronger defensive game with a coach who's scheme has a place for his strengths... With our defensive injuries were going to be finding out IMO, as I don't see us being in a hurry to trade him.

Risto could be reborn under ______*. A coach who may know how to use him properly and stabilize his metrics.
*- Nolan, Bylsma, Housley, Krueger
good points.. Just trying to look at it with rose colored glasses on I guess

I think Risto is frustrated with being overused, frustrated with losing. I think he could still be traded but it could depend on his usage in the preseason and how he responds to RFK's system, his personality, and whether he truly puts Risto in a position to succeed.
Let's say for a moment Risto is no longer frustrated and getting excited about the new coach. If we don't trade him, which RHD would be next on the trading block, and what do we get in return?
Risto could be reborn under Krueger. A coach who may know how to use him properly and stabilize his metrics.

I'd be shocked if he played more than 9 games this season with the Sabres.
I agree I think that's the plan.
2 minutes ago, LGR4GM said:My argument is not necessarily we could not have improved our defense if we traded for a 2C but that we did improve our defense and that is a positive to look at after this summer.
Also gave us some chips to play with to negotiate a deal when it reveals itself
-
We've spent the last few years building up our pipeline, and its still a work in progress. We are not trading Risto unless we get a very very good return. We are not trading our prospect pool or draft picks for fill ins unless that deal heavily favors the Sabres IMO.
I believe we need to let the pipeline compete for the 2C position and the rest of the roster wait for the right deal to present itself. This team is ripe for improvement but no where near ripe for a deep playoff run, therefore why force a deal to make ourselves half relevant this year.
I too believe coaching can bring the biggest difference from last year to this year. Is Ralph that guy, stay tuned.

He can't play in Rochester.
Minors then.. Didn't realize he wasn't eligible.

tHow do we currently feel about Mitts?
Where do we stand on Cozens?
Need to see them in action this preseason Mitts should be stronger and obviously more experienced this year.
Cozens IMO starts in Rochester and Gets his 9 games before the season ends.. Even if he shines in camp he is most likely not ready for an 82 game schedule -

It might be interesting to see "Beane" making the trades instead of Botts.
LOL got my GMs mixed up.. Bouncing between multiple topics on multiple boards does that

The situation with Risto feels a bit too similar to the situations with Kane and O'Reilly. Sabres will be trading the player and we get our hopes up for a significant return. Unfortunately, it did not happen with Kane or O'Reilly, and I doubt it will with Risto. It just seems that when a team is openly shopping a player for an extended period and the player does not want to play for the team, the prospect of getting a decent return for the player is negatively impacted and diminishes the longer the situation continues.
big difference. O'Reilly had a $7.5 million roster bonus do that would of greatly affected dead cap space if we traded him afterwards.
yes it was not fruitful, but Beane was determined to remake this team and it didn't include O'Reilly and a $7.5 mil roster bonus....
I do not see an O'reilly situation for 2 reasons. Risto has a manageable cap hit, and is worth what he is being paid. So we can wait this one out. The 2nd We will run Beane out of town if he trades another higher end asset for peanuts. He can't afford to short arm this one

Not rich, but a good head start. If he lives to 85, that $5 mil has to last him 55 years. That's about $90k per year ($80k or so after taxes). If he wants to work, he may have to go to college or a trade school which costs money. Kids education, health care, weddings, etc. needs to be factored in. SS will not be much if he doesn't keep working since he will only have 5-7 years of creditable work. Now many can do it on $90k, but I don't think he'd be calling himself rich.
$5 million you can easily invest have it earn income while you draw down on that and have it last 50 years easily... Heck My lifetime earnings to date $3 million and I'm over 50.. My wife retires next year and I will retire at 58 (7 years) with less than a million and we will live well the rest of my days from there on with little issues
Now it does come down to the your comfort level of quality of life, but I will be down sizing
