People are missing my point - I'm not saying I want Savoie, or anyone like him - I'm saying that's the kind of player you're most likely getting back in an in-season trade for Tuch. I don't like it anymore than you - Teams are generally trading for a guy like Tuch for their run and not giving away pieces that would be valuable this season.

yeah, mostly joking, but if we're looking for some combination of NHL ready (or near NHL ready) rather than picks I feel like that's the kind of guy we can expect back - Maybe Savoie and a 1st for Tuch? Which wouldn't excite me, but teams that are buyers aren't usually giving up good NHL pieces in rerturn.

how do you feel about matt savoie?

If we waive UPL is there a chance another team will just take him off our hands?

not counting NHL preseason?

Can it be two teams that aren't the Sabres?

and was still a -1 on the night They won tho'

Mrtka at this point seems more likely to go to the AHL. And yes, apparently he can go to AHL - I saw in another thread that the reasoning had to do with him being on loan from his Czech league to the WHL, rather than a typical North American player, not sure if that's actually what's happening, but several articles have been written about the likelihood of him going directly to the AHL. https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/buffalo-sabres/latest-news/mrtka-s-future-may-not-include-return-to-whl

82-0 here we come!

Those TNT games also are on (or were last year) HBO Max if you have that

I used Fubo last season and just renewed got 5 months for 35$ off a month (so it's about 66$ monthly for first 5 months) With the added bonus that if the season is over in 5 months I can easily cancel it.

Yeah, didn't you see Terminator Genisys?

Bobrovski played 2 seasons in the KHL though

Maybe 3 points out of not being in last place instead of 6 points out of not being in last place?

There's no such thing as a sure thing

smoke em if ya got em

By MT I assume you mean MS - of those 4 guys 3 are "offensive" defenseman, with Dahlin the only one of the 3 who might be considered sound defensively. Power has been a disaster in his own zone, and Byram has been up and down (though the offense seems to mostly make up for it.) But when we are defending a lead, this team isn't generally looking to generate offense and our strength on D becomes a weakness.

I do think there's something to the fact that our top line defensemen aren't strong defensively.

I definitely don't want Wahlberg here long term, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea to give him a few games here if he's earned it (and to remind him that the WJC and NHL are entirely different levels of competition and he needs to keep working his ass off.) I'm also fine with Murray or Kozak being the call up.

Hopefully we don't mess that up by trying to have him here in 1 or 2.

for sake

Zucker of course having a great game, but Thompson also showing his worth stealing that puck and making it happen

just win baby
