Chrychrun!!!!!! Oh wait he’s not in a Sabres uni yet. Guess I’m just practicing. 🤷‍♂️

Well that sucked. Got a point at least take tomorrows game in regulation and stop taking penalties in the 3rd

My god. We’ve seen this movie before. Control your sticks!!!

Good for Mitts. I’m still optimistic he can be a 3rd line winger long term Still room, if anyone wants to join me on keep Mitts around wagon

I don’t think so. They are winning so I think DG will role out the same forward lines. Pilut’s game on Wed should send him straight back to the press box. Rochester would be my preference make a trade bring in another D and waive Bryson and Pilut edit… I see the Fitz for Pilut change has been made. Pilut not waived …yet

Yikes. That rules the Sabres out.

huge playoff implications in this one If Sabres are to make the Playoffs, the Penguins or Islanders are the teams they will have to beat out for the 8th spot

Chrychrun. Article https://www.gophnx.com/2022/12/01/how-the-coyotes-are-showcasing-jakob-chychrun/

From the athletic ” Dylan Cozens was selected at No. 7 in 2019, Jack Quinn was selected at No. 8 in 2020, and JJ Peterka was selected 34th in 2020. All three are 21 or younger and together have created a supercharged kids line well worth some optimism for Buffalo’s future. The trio have played just 93 minutes together, but in that span have established themselves as one of the fiercest offensive trios in the league. In that time, they’ve generated 5.28 expected goals per 60 and scored 5.79. Among lines that have played over 50 minutes together, that ranks second and fifth respectively. With these three on, Buffalo is shredding the competition. Add the top line on top of that, and the Sabres’ top six is starting to look like one big problem.”

I never thought of it while the game was on but I do agree with Marek to a point. however, I can imagine the blowback on DG if Tage got hurt in the 3rd So I see both sides Elliotte Friedman brought a good point that the Sabres didn’t have a PP after the 1st So it’s not like they sat Thompson in that situation

Bryson has been back for 2 games the last 5 even strength goals scored against the Sabres either Bryson or Pilut have been on the ice for all of them This has to be resolved The Sabres will be lucky to be in the playoff race by Jan 1st if another Dman isn’t brought in immediately for those that think that It’s more the goaltending than the d Bryson is a Minus 15 - all 3 Sabres goalies have struggled with him on the ice Not to mention the Sabres have given up 60 even strength goals Not sure where to find this but I’m thinking that Bryson has been on the ice for at least 20 of them For a guy that missed games, plays limited minutes and gets to olay against opponents bottom lines (especially at home) this needs to be addressed

I know everyone is clamouring to fix the goalies BUT if the same 2 or 3 dmen are on the ice for most every single 5v5 goal against… maybe you start there? im just guessing here but I’ll say Pilut, Bryson and Fitz have been on the ice for at least 15 of the last 20 even strength goals against maybe later today I’ll go back and get the actual numbers .. get Lyubushkin back and add a good 6th Dman , you may actually improve the goalies organically

Yes, im not saying he should be playing on the Sabres. Im just saying that you don’t discard him. He is fine in Rochester

You should always be looking to upgrade. But you don’t toss away a 23 year old goalie.

Yes but 23 is definitely young for a goalie Who knows what UPL will turn into when he is a few years older. And 2 years ago Dahlin should have been traded and Tage released. He’s a young goalie, relax

He’s 23. How many times do people have to be burnt writing off prospects before they develop? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Now is the time for Adams to get another Dman The avg goaltending needs all the help they can get and Pilut and Bryson just aren’t good enough it’s a more urgent matter than fixing the 3rd line Olofsson for a Defensive Dman who slots into the 3rd pair

Never is a strong word for a 23 year old goalie. wasnt that long ago people were ready to discard Tage at 22 and Dahlin at 20 Goalies just take time

No more Pilut. Such a weak play

I wouldn’t bet on it. Just was reading a couple of roster analysis articles and they seemed to not include Beck

Anyone else worried that there isn’t much balanced scoring tonight? 🤣

All I know is that I would like to see Mittlestadt away from Olofsson for a bit before I completely discard Mitts. there is absolutely no reason not to try Mitts - Jost - Hinny / Asplund for at least a couple of games As for Olofsson Find a team that is willing to trade a PP specialist for a 6th Dman who can skate and Play D

I wouldn’t read anything into it at all the team is basically made up of guys drafted in 21 The 5 that were invited who were in 22 draft or draft eligible Bedard and Fantilli ; expected to go #1 and #2 in the 23 draft Reid Schaefer - 6’3 forward to play a role that Savoie wouldn’t / couldn’t play Owen Beck would have a role as a bottom line center and face off specialist but unlikely to make the team Jordan Dumais Who is tearing up the Q and has a chance to be their 13th forward note. - Shane Wright could be loaned out Bottom line is that even though it would be great to see Savoie on team Canada they leaned towards older players (sans Bedard and Fantilli) so there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about We will see what happens in ‘24 Hopefully he has a significant role with the Sabres and they say “no thank you” when Team Canada comes calling

Do they go UFA or trade for the unknown Center? Lots of mixed reviews about Dumba but he can definitely kill penalties… in interested as long the price is reasonable

Top 2 lines are a 🔒 top D pair is also a lock so What the prediction for line 3 and 4 along with the bottom 2 D pairs and goalies ?? Kulich - Krebs - Kane. (KKK line - is that allowed?) Girgs- Jost - Asplund Power Joker Chychrun Lyubushkin Comrie UFA signed to 1 year deal Kane comes home to lead the way for his hometown team GMKA gets the Chrychrun deal done for next years First (13th overall), Rosen, rights to Portillo and Richards
