Mustache of God

Meck Warm

This roster looks better than our starting line-ups a few years ago. Progress! Surprised that Power isn't on any of the PP units, looking forward to the POJO paring on D.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Dan Dunleavy era.

I hope we see 25 iterations of that Dahlin goal this year.

What's the term and money?

I am excited for the future of the Buffalo Sabres.

Good lord, do these anthem singers get paid by the second?

Angus Crookshank is a player I'd love to have on the Sabres. I don't know a ***** thing about him but that name is ELITE.

Must win?

I'm so glad that after tomorrow we'll have actual things to discuss and dissect. These off-seasons are looong and boring.

Ceasars app has the over/under at 80.5 for the Sabres.

LETS GO BILLS. Superbowl and Sabres playoffs this year!

Asplund and Samuelsson will never be the types of players to ink large contracts. I'm really hoping we see breakout years from Casey & Cozens this year, more so Casey as he seems to be following in the steps of Tage. I recall two seasons ago Tage had a great camp, was performing in Rochester and then got injured in the first period of the first game he was called up, effectively ending his season. Same narrative with Casey, great camp, ready to come out and then spent most of the season on the sidelines. Here's to hoping he lights it up this year as our 2C. We'll see growth from Cozens but he's a bit younger so I don't expect as much.

I think my head would have exploded if we re-signed Larsson. This team needs players who haven't spent their entire careers with dumpster teams like the Sabres and Coyotes.

I'd also consider that the younger players (cozens, mitts, Asplund,Dahlin,samuelsson) should also be better than they were last year now that they have more experience and are growing into their bodies and are an improvement over their selves last year. This probably also applies to Thompson but I'm expecting regression from him, hopefully not though.

I don't want to set my expectations too high but I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks every single one of Gretzky's records in his rookie year.

I disagree. Giving him the C this year lets him mentor whichever younger leader will eventually be the captain but it not yet ready. With a year left on his contract you can either extend him another year or be ready to hand over the reigns next season to the player that earns it.

I fully expect Okposo to be named the next captain and to maintain his 5v5 production. I'm curious to see if he'll stay on the PP2 unit now that we have Quinn, Power, and a healthy Mitts on the roster. It'll be interesting to see if we re-sign him after his contract expires.

I remember a time Casey Mittlestat was being heralded as our next savior after his World Juniors showing... I'd rather have our prospects come out of this thing with a chip on their shoulder opposed to being heavily praised.

I still can't believe he was traded for nothing.

I'd like to see Asplund developed into our 4C. I'd start the year with him and girgensons sharing the center/winger role (swapping positions based on matchups) with Okposo being the other winger. That could be an excellent shutdown line who can also contribute some offense.

PSA you can cross the Peace Bridge for free if you walk or bike.

I see Dahlin quarterbacking PP1 AND Power PP2, I can't see Pilut being inserted in any of the units, which is a good problem to have. Typing this out makes me wonder if granato would roll both Dahlin and power on the same unit. It certainly could be entertaining.

Levi stop on Quinn: https://twitter.com/ByMHarrington/status/1548302548062179331?t=r3WQfvEz8XhK2mEL5zNf8g&s=19

Holy *****, levi
