Captain Caveman

To me Hamilton was noting a change in how they've been running things during this trip and hinting that maybe Appert will be taking over soon. My guess is Ruff moving to POHO or senior advisor and Adams out, with Appert taking over as coach and given the rest of this season to audition for the role.

so Terry (and Kevin?) won't keep having to hear the Fire Adams chants

Maybe not as earth shattering as some of you would like, but can we please trade Owen Power, and send UPL down to Rochester. We're not going to get better defensively with these two have a serious role for us.

It did say it on the ESPN site (that it was an NHL Network game) this morning when I checked

I think today was an NHL Network game maybe? So maybe not available on ESPN+? I think the TNT / Max games also usually aren't on ESPN.

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.
