the 2024/25 Salary cap will have huge implications on who they can and can not sign as a UFA this offseason.

still goalies are funny. Look at the Senators prior to last season they trade Filip Gustavsson (who is also 24) to the Wild for Cam Talbot I'm going to guess that most people on here were jealous of the Sens making that trade and not the Sabres Now Talbot won't be resigned by the Sens after a rocky season and Gustavsson went from a 3.55 / .892 Goalie in 21/22 to a 2.50 / .915 goalie this past season I won't be jumping off any bridges if they start the season with a tandem of Levi and UPL.

People will complain about Power not being physica enough but I honestly don’t mind We saw first hand the injuries to the guys that play a rugged style. Samuelsson , Lyubushkin, Stillman and to an extent Dahlin As they say the best ability is availability Let him do his thing and let the others worry about the rough stuff

Cederqvist with a natural hat-trick. his 3rd goal was a perfect display of his ability as a power forward. Crushed his man. Creates turnover and converts a pass from #13 (Weissbach not sure of spelling) on a 2-0.

Samuelsson says WTF 😳

UPL?

🤦🏼‍♂️

Just take the kicking rule out. If this and Fasching goals count then I don’t know what a kick is anymore

Trade value ⬆️

Sabres have Levi (assuming he matches his potential) the Wings and Sens dont.

Wrong

Undersized??? Out of curiosity what height / weight do you think he is?

I feel this thread can be closed since the perfect scenario has been laid out above its well thought out and reasonable Maybe it’s Jost vs Compher? otherwise it’s a perfect offseason if this can the fruition

I agree, unless you are in the room , you never really know the truth

Mark this day down. We agree on something bertuzzi the player yes , the person no. Just doesn’t seem to fit the mole of person the Sabres want to bring in. Though, you never know how well he is really liked in the dressing room. Teammates could live him you are also right on Savoie. He will be a Sabre next season too

If they sign him, I’ll try to forgive him for that ridiculous play he made stopping Skinners wrap around attempt last night Always an optimist but first time I’ve predicted playoffs in many years

I have good news to share. Not only will they make the playoffs next season , they will start a playoff streak that will last 10-12 years oh I and won’t forget to mention the Stanley Cups that they win

Quick is an interesting idea. Kinda the same mole as Levi it sucks there is no easy way to get UPL back to Rochester He will be the back up or traded If traded , they better find another goalie prospect cause the cupboard will be pretty bare

no. Definitely not now if you bring in someone who can split the time with Levi , then I’m listening I fully expect a Levi / UPL tandem next season Comrie you can probably sneak down to Rochester 💯

It’s a process. Maybe they would have been better off in the short run by a little but the long term is much more important to learn to score and play without fear they aren’t looking to be just good -they want to be great

Crazy night. The puck just wouldn’t go in the net Hope you all enjoyed watching them battle to get into the playoffs. Won’t experience this again next year next season, they will making the playoffs easily and the only thing that we will have to think about by game 80 is - who we are playing in round 1

Sorry to hear this

It’s unfortunate that a lot of the grade a chances are falling to Girgs

Yes that would seem about right though Bryson is 9 or 10 hopefully

Hate to break it to you. Boosh and stillman will still be here and likely Jokiharju
