Wow ROR and Tavares showing their age Soooooooooooo slow

I’m not sure about that. Pretty sure Risto has a lot of detractors. If the Sabres are interested in Zadorov, I’m sure they will do their due diligence. I believe what I’m hearing about his game and think he would be a great pick up for the bottom pair

Exactly. Win the puck battles. Be strong. Take the hit when it’s there but don’t go running around looking for it

I’m just wondering if you have any evidence of this over the last 2 years ? all I hear / read from flames fans and commentators is how is game has matured You wouldn’t consider the flames D deep? and yes I want him on the bottom pair

Who are the sandpaper on the Devils and the Hurricane? How about the Oilers? I find it interesting that not one of the top 10 teams in hits per game are still alive. but 5 of the bottom 10 in hits are Do A LOT ( and I mean a lot) of posters here over estimate the importance of hitting and grit?

Crazy thing about that. If ROR had a face shield , he wouldn’t have been cut. Should be “sorry Ryan. That’s your fault, we can only give a 2” Maurice on the officiating and really a slam of the league

As long as you remember he was barely 20 at the time

Oilers with a projected $3.7 million in cap space for the 23/24 season they are going to have to clear out a few of contracts if they want to pay Bouchard

Marty and Duffer both keyed Even Bouchard as a trade target with him being an RFA and the oilers not able to pay him what he would be worth would be a huge move if completed

Why not get your #4 in free agency and then trade a 2nd and mid tire prospect for a #5/6? KEEP your 1st and fill in the roster this off season

I’m confused. I thought you didn’t want to sign Bertuzzi?

It’s a shame Carolina has so many injuries Full strength Hurricanes vs Devils would be must watch tv Probably still is Devils playing like their hair is on fire 🔥

Might just happen. Can still get a couple of good D in 2nd round next couple of months will be interesting to say the least

Good analysis I doubt Simashev will be that high on a lot of lists. a lot of guys , wheeler in particular, really emphasize skill over defensive ability If the Sabres believe he is a shut down Dman in the mold of Mule, then I think they should take him. Draft rankings and post draft grades by internet expects be damned

I thought it was the 10 year anniversary of the “pain” news conference ? Anyways it’s a mute point at this time cause they still haven’t even made the playoffs

Sabres have their own Bertuzzi coming in 2 years inPoltapov

I’ll check back if /when they win the cup if they turn into the team “beast of the east” as one opposing gm predicted. It would be all worth it

hopefully the next 10 are so good that they make up for the lost years.

oh right The Johnson pick would be next season.

Sabres need a couple of beard guys.

Correct me if I am wrong here but Samson became Levi and Kulich Jack became Östlund, Krebs and Tuch. Nylander became Joker They used the 31st pick in the 2015 draft to help acquire O'Reilly, who eventually netted the Sabres Thompson And the complete mess that Murray made and that Botterill was unable to fix led to them drafting Mitts, Cozens, Power, Dahlin, Samuelsson and Quinn might be a lonely island that I am on but I wouldn't change a thing to get to this point.

I would like both but I can see both of them getting overpaid, so i would be surprised if they were signed by Sabres

If Sabres become the beasts we are all expecting and win a cup, we will all agree that the Tank was worth it? edit * should have said most expecting, not all

to who? no coach or GM

assuming Johnson doesn't sign, I would hope that the Sabres draft 2 if not 3 dmen with their 4 picks in the 1st and 2nd round
