Imagine a Sabre doing this

Glad we're winning

Amazing how using timeouts is better if done early

Think it was Beane telling Terry what was happening not the other way around.

He's a Time Lord

13 years of piss and we've run out of f's to give. Nsfw

Man, if I were the coach I'd take every Sabres logo off their jerseys and the logo out of the room too. Tell them their lazy garbage season was why. Logo on the front means a hell of a lot more than the name on the back.

Far cry from how Nashville reacted to a crap home stand. All the locker room quotes of "winning the fans support" are fluffy nonsense that none of them believe.

Think you have a typo. Should say "season" not game.

Idk, play casual

No he won't. NHL gms almost never use offer sheets, like ever.

Guys an RFA and has played like one of the best goaltenders in the NHL since Jan 1. Levi exists and Adams clearly likes him so what do they do here? I don't think you go longer term (over 5 years) with any goalie but I am good in the 4yr 4milaav range.

Saw this all over Twitter. Guy who said it is a freaking clown. 🤡 Imagine thinking Daniel Jones is an asset in a trade for Josh Allen... lol what a 🤡 can't believe that dude has a show anyone listens too. Also, Allen isn't available and it's 2024, I'm sure Hailee Steinfield can use the internet or get on a plane if she feels the itch to shop in NYC or Paris or LA.

TBH, as a fan I absolutely hate this. Why should I lose my draft picks to sign a guy that wasn't worthy of a draft picks 3 years ago?

These guys are all basically to be viewed as at best, late 2nd round picks. Most of them should be considered in the value range of 3-5th round picks, meaning they won't make it for the most part. Just another talent pool and lottery ticket.

7 of 8 captains are no longer on the team from what WGR was saying. Allen is the only returning captain.

If I were the Sabres, I would give Jax Dubois a look this summer. Physical 6'4" center that is AHL eligible and has the defensive game to become a 4th line center down the road. Would give the prospect pool another physical guy with size who could slot right into Rochester next year. Would be a bit of a project but all the guys are in this realm.

Mattias Samuelsson has absolutely no offense to his game. He is next to useless once you get into the neutral zone and certainly an afterthought in the offensive zone. He may shutdown plays at a good clip, although I do have some questions based on that model, but without showing us the average and then telling us what standard deviation away from that Samuelsson is, idk how to take the stats other than he might be good defensively but not leaps and bounds better than the league. That would be what my eye test says, he is solid defensively, above average, and can be trusted to deal with opposing top lines. I want him no where near the offensive zone though, all he can do is pass the puck to his partner or send it down low, there is almost no other skill or manipulation to that side of his game. I actually think quite a bit of Muel's defensive game, but the rest I don't. It is that duality that has me down on the guy overall, coupled with his complete inability to ever be healthy for more than 60% of a season.

wins and losses do not quantify future success or current performance 100%. I have seen total garbage teams beat the best teams in the league. Wins/Losses don't quantify current performance of individual players that's for sure and they certainly don't tell you about future success of a player. That is why NO ONE uses them to quantify if a player is good or bad except sometimes with goalies.

Because I love you all, so so much, Komarov (2022) had a 1.15ppg this year putting him first in the Q. That would make him 4th in the WHL behind Mateychuk 1.44ppg (2022), Cagnoni 1.38ppg (2023), and Sward 1.23ppg (2022). That would make him 4th in the OHL behind Parekh 1.45ppg (2024), Brzustewicz 1.37ppg (2023), and Dionicio 1.22ppg (2023).

Strbak is interesting, needs another couple years in college for sure. Komarov is really interesting. QMJHL isn't great defensively and compared to the other CHL leagues Komarov didn't blow the doors off for a defender but as someone with 1 more year of Q eligibility and already tops in the league, I think he is another guy that in 2-3 years might be really interesting for the Sabres. He's another reason you don't sign guys like Samuelsson to 7 year deals, you sign them to 5 year deals because they can be replaced most likely and if not, you just sign them again. They made their top 4 D trade already. This team is going to roll out Power, Byram, Dahlin and Muel next year as the top 4 and think nothing of it, even though Muel is a 5/6 and will get injured.

Some of them will, yes. Some of them won't and I don't trust this organization to tell the difference.

Novikov quietly leading the Amerks in +/- while also dropping 21pts in 58games. He's 3rd in points for defenders all while being 20 (won't be 21 until end of July) and this is his first season in NA. He is not our top prospect, but he is one of the most intriguing. oh and for the "we aren't big enough crowd" or the "we aren't physical enough crowd", Novikov is 6'4" 198lbs and has a mean side.
