If Donny G can fix Tage and Skinner and Mitts... I am willing to take a chance on Zadina.

I can't thumbs down a post more than once but I absolutely recoil from the idea that because of Olofsson, JJP should be demoted.

Novikov and Neuchev are here. Here's Neuchev specifically

We could bring in Zadina who is on waivers and see if a change of scenery helps. He is a solid winger but has never quite lived up to the hype.

but can he though? I mean, what if the teams defense is just better and that's why he suddenly stands out as not that good at it?

Dahlin is literally signed for a full other season. This is like when ppl lost their minds because Levi went back to college. It is a none issue.

One thing I would note is that last year we had 1 player on defense over 25, we added 2 to our top 7 in the last little bit here. That's 3 guys who are a bit older in life, and in Erik's case, way more experienced in hockey than anyone else on the roster last season. Add to that Dahlin being what I would call a veteran now and the defensive core has really changed in a short period of time.

Sabres 7, 9, 13, 28, 34 picks stand out to me. I also think Power is better than Edvinsson. Detroit's issue is they are a full development year behind Buffalo. Next year they should be loading the lineup with 2-3 rookies.

I view Clifton as Power's partner and I'm not overly worried about him not being able to handle it. Looks like a perfect #4 next to Owen. It's interesting how many here view Samuelsson compared to Clifton. Samuelsson is probably a little overpaid and needs to continue developing.

It literally does not matter. Everyone keeps throwing this out in defense of Oloffson but he was a defensive sieve. His 28 goals were offset by -23 goals alone at even strength. So if Rousek can be a +/- 0 and score 5 goals, he is as useful as Olofsson. Olofsson can't play defense. Rousek can, I will take Rousek and his less of a shot over Olofsson's shot and almost nothing else.

Trading him is an upgrade. Again, Rousek for a full season gives us a better outcome than Olofsson.

I don't think pulling a goalie does much most times and in Buffalo's case pulling UPL for Comrie or vice versus just seems redundant. Neither were good.

I already consider Ratzlaff a better prospect.

When Marty Biron started really saying and analyzing the issues with UPLs game it really opened my eyes to exactly what his issues are.

I don't think they make it. I think Columbus has a better chance.

I'm really proud of him. He worked hard and made himself a nice little career.

Kyle Okposo just being awesome

Dumba? Bertuzzi?

I do like their roast beef a lot

Wings. Sabres will be a playoff team this year.

I think they plan on being a playoff team this year.
