It does not have too. You and Kevyn say it does. You could move vets and young players for other vets. This team could rebuild and be playoff bound next season if they did it correctly, but missing in year 15 is almost a guarantee if they do nothing.

So fragile. I brought it up for the exact reason I said, it was interesting reading it back over. I actually agree with your sentence here: "Overall there was a balance of opinions shaded toward skepticism." ***** rich decrying "gotcha maneuvers" while simultaneously trying to toss one out. Rasmus Dahlin is the best player on the Sabres, will be hilarious when the likes of you convince everyone to run him out of town so he can win some Norris trophies and a cup or two. Of course it is, about 70% of this is roster, maybe 80% but Ruff is not helping at all. He never was going to help, just a fools help. Nah, they need to clean house in the coaching department.

Pegula was cheap and didn't want to pay assistant coaches. They kept all the old ones so Terry didn't have to pay old and new ones. He's a hack. I could run this team better.

This was fun to read back over.

I think he's a 75pt player. Granted I think Cozens is a 55pt player.

I disliked your post because none of the players you mentioned are AHL eligible without clearing waivers or in Benson's case, at all.

No, this is an emotional support group for neglected Sabres fans.

Is he that?

This a false narrative that Adams and Pegula have pushed to explain away their incompetence. Also, winning fixing all of this and Pegula is not committed to winning. Pegula is like most billionaires where flattery, ego, and prestige all play a role. In Terry’s case, he has a team in a much more prestigious league, with a superstar QB, and a chance at a natty. So he can either hangout in loser Sabreland or can get his back slapped and the "that a boy!" From all the ppl in NFL circles. Further since his NHL team sucks, he doesn't want real leaders in charge because he believes he's the smartest guy in the room, he wants to still get patted on the back, and he wants them to assuage his fears by using the excuses of young team, ntc, and literally any other excuse because deep down Terry is a scared little kid.

Wooo

Lol how has asset management worked out for Buffalo? Zucker works on this team. I'm not interested in trading him for a 2nd. Good way to continue the culture of losing its acceptable because of some mythical future.

I don't care what a 2nd round pick is doing for Buffalo in 2030. I want a veteran like zucker in that room as long as possible. 2nd round picks are more likely to be asplund, Davidson, lamiuex, Bailey, weber

Wish I was a Beta, more like an Omega though.

What if, and stay with me, we don't trade Zucker and let him continue to be a vet leader in the youngest team? Like we just don't sell at the deadline.

We're drafting top 5

Needs to improve his pace, in the 3 games I have seen, he's looked okay and I think his dzone work is really solid.

His WJC toi for the 4 games thus far are: 23:36 was a 5-2 loss to Sweden, -1 with 2a 25:10 was a 2-1 win over the Swiss and +1 20:45 was a 4-2 loss to Slovakia and a -2 with 1a 24:52 was a 5-4 win over Kazakhstan with 1g 1a and +1

One was injured until recently and needs to eat about 10 garbage plates a day cuz he's not strong enough. Also, this pick should have been Mintyukov but idk, maybe in another 2-3 years if you're patient you get a useful middle 6 center. Patience is the key for Östlund. The other is an 18yr old playing in probably the 3rd best league in the world. A league where most rookies are 2 years older than him. So he's doing pretty good. Helenius has middle 6, 50pt winger written all over him imo. That would be a great pickup at 14 in that draft.
