Savoie has gotten 2 points in 5 of the last 10 games. He's also had 2 games where he has no points in that stretch. He's currently pacing just below his DY production. He has 13 points in the last 10 games.

He's not a prime asset. ROR is a UFA that St. LOUIS got a first for and moved on from. The salary retention didn't matter and is probably how they got the first.

It's 9am already slackers, game day!

And the cap might be 87mil+ in 2024. He is signed for 2 more years so we can worry about that when we get there.

Are they charging a yearly payment or are you saying they should?

They also got Mateychuk who I liked as well. CBJ in another 2 years will be a very interesting team.

Im still mad at Columbus for drafting Jiricek when they did. David Jiricek is everything our defense needs.

I think the question for me is how good can Levi be as opposed to will he be good. Basically any goalie that good post a stable .905% would be good for this team but can he be more than that and how long should we wait? I would assume next year he is AHL bound with maybe a start or two in the NHL but what if he is the best goalie in camp?

I pulled these two quotes but basically the players trust Granato and Adams and they both trust the players. Adams is prepared for the deadline but the next two weeks are important. Sounds like the Sabres players are in tune with the league and as Okposo says they have a lot of hockey nerds in the locker room.

I still think a certain assistant coach he has formally of the Florida Panthers is the real mind behind the improvement.

I think this team needs 2 additional defenders still. As time has past I am more and more willing to trade for Chychrun.

Yup. I would pay 200 bucks a year to be guaranteed all Sabres games and the playoffs.

Buffalo could or at least be close to that. Rosen, 2024 1st, Bloom or Nadeau, Weissbach or Rousek. That's probably not enough for them but at this late stage it is a decent offer with all ELC ppl. The older prospect gives you something you can plug in immediately, the younger 2 prospects give you a likely top 6 player and then a potential middle 6 guy. The 2024 1st will probably be in the low 20s. Buffalo doesn't need to eat anything or have anything eaten. Again, that is probably not enough for Arizona but I don't think it is inherently unfair either.

I know and I wasn't disagreeing with you. Was more of add on to what you were saying.

Agree, the goalies are the biggest current problem area.

Do you want time make the playoffs this year? Or win playoff rounds next year? It's better letting Quinn learn now.

I wish you would.

Levi would definitely be the best goalie of 1984

there is an X in the upper right hand corner, you're welcome

I am thankful every day that the Czech league is underscouted because I had Kulich about 5 spots above Östlund.

But again we are changing the parameters. If I time traveled 1983 all stars to 2023 and gave them 2 days of practice in modern equipment and put them out against a college team, they would lose. This isn't the same as saying the worst NHL team would get crushed by the best NCAA team today. That wouldn't happen. The level of competition today is above what was faced then not because back then wasn't good or fun or skilled but because the game has grown.

Grant Fuhr career sv% is .887% but yea... sure if I time traveled him to 2023 he would be better than Devon Levi... right ahuh. You are living in the nostalgic past instead of looking at the truth without your nostalgic glasses on. The best players on any era would not be great today and saying something like this shows the lack of understanding of not only modern training but also the skill level of modern NHL players. The All Star team from 2023 would skate circles around the 1983 all stars, I am not even sure the 1983 all stars would score.

I did your job for you and you ignored it. I expressed with details why your stance was flawed and you ignored it. I took time to show you the moves Adams did make and you ignored it. The bolded is laughably naïve for how an NHL roster gets constructed or how the Sabres roster is constructed. Adams has repeatedly stated in boring old English what he is doing and you have ignored it. You can't just trade or sign for every hole you have. Your argument is so bad that you are now talking about Ullmark again, the guy was a UFA which again you ignore. He wanted to leave and he did. Could Adams have offered him an extra 1, 2, 3 mil to get him to stay, yes but again you keep ignoring what Adams has told you. But this is a distraction, you got proven wrong on the centers by 100% it was shown that your argument was incorrect and Adams was right. But now you have to deflect to a new topic, goaltending. No one who watches this team thinks the goalies are good enough and Adams is responsible for that. You are you are like a chicken playing chess. You strut around, s#!t all over the board, and then yell checkmate.
