It just has to be right? Was Don trying to light a fire under UPL the other day when he said Anderson and Dell were too 2?

Brad Lamber has started really slow this year. 7 games 1 assist Was scratched yesterday Meanwhile his teammate Kemell (think #9 on bobs list) has 9 points through 8 games its early but hopefully he isn’t 2022s version of Ratty

Wouldn’t hate the Peterka Cozens Quinn line to start the season. Let JJ and Jack get a few games in before spending some time in Rochester

He just guaranteed his spot in Rochester with those saves 🙃

Murray in front of the net. Another that may not see Rochester

Bump

Think UPL moved ahead of Dell in the pecking order. Sorry, should have said - Dell fell below UPL. If UPL isn’t better than Dell at this point, Sabres are in real trouble

Looking forward to going to see the Bulldogs. North Bay is one of the teams I want to see this year They may have 3 or 4 first rounders. Nothing wrong with grabbing a RHD with One of them

The other thing I looking forward to is seeing guys not named Dylan Cozens drop the gloves” . this will be a team that stands up for each other. won’t be crazy like the mid 90s teams (in terms of fighting) but a team that opponents will have to bring effort in order to beat Wow the optimism coming from the East Coast of Canada!!! I don’t necessarily agree but I like it 👍

I agree. Just take it one game at a time. No worries about standings wherever they finish they finish just entertain me with fast paced , offensive minded hockey

How close are we to the tank team of 2014-15? here is the opening night roster from that season: Age in brackets Enroth Benoit (31) Gorges (30), Mezeros (29) Myers (24), Weber (27) Risto (20) Ennis(25) Foligno (23) Stafford (29) Gionta (36) Girgensons (21) Hodgson (24) Stewart (27) Moulson (31)Reinhart (19) McCormick (31) Mitchell (30) Deslauriers (23) Top Prospects (Kris Baker) 1 - REINHART, Sam 2 - RISTOLAINEN, Rasmus 3 - ZADOROV, Nikita 4 - GRIGORENKO, Mikhail 5 - COMPHER, JT 6 - ARMIA, Joel 7 - PYSYK, Mark 8 - MCCABE, Jake 9 - LEMIEUX, Brendan 10 - FASCHING, Hudson 11 - ULLMARK, Linus 12 - BAPTISTE, Nick NOW (my guess and open for debate) Anderson (40) Dahlin (21), Jokiharja (21) Hagg (26), Miller (29) Butcher (27) Pysyk (30) Asplund (24) Mitts (23) Tage (24) skinner (29) Cozens (20) Olofsson (26) Bjork (25) Routsalainen (24) Hinostroza (27) Girgensons (28) Eakin (30) Okposo (33) injured Jack Eichel (24) top prospects (hockey news) Owen Power Jack Quinn Peterka UPL Rosen Ryan Johnson Prokhor Poltapov Mattiaa Samuelsson Alexander Kisakov Portillo —————- Assuming they get quality prospects in the Eichel deal, I think they are in much better shape now then they were in 2014 thoughts?

Yep. Have to enjoy the small things things year hopefully growth of the youth and a hard working fast paced team overall

1000% right

If disk fusion surgery is good enough for Mario Lemieux, Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning - it’s certainly good enough for Jak Eihel!!!

Corey Pronmans rankings “I know what you’re thinking, yes Buffalo is No. 1 and by a decent margin, too. The Sabres have two franchise-pillar defensemen in Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Powerwhom you can envision being core pieces of a good team. Dylan Cozens is an excellent prospect, and there is a moderate-sized list of very intriguing young players who could help the Sabres down the line. Rebuilds are at times long and painful. The last iteration for the Sabres did not work, and the moves they made recently and will make regarding Jack Eichel will likely set them back, not speed up the process. ”

this is impossible to answer before Jack gets traded.

what the best case scenario for the Sabres this season ? I'll be amazed if they don't finish bottom 5.

Finding out the best deal is from Calgary?

I would love for him to call this one right. I would forgive him for calling Josh Allen a clown during the NE game in 2019! plus i still cant forget him saying Sheary was just a victim of bad puck luck.

hard to believe this thread is 5 months old an no resolution. only 4 weeks till training camp (I think)

Im going to guess Borgen will be back, no way he cracks the Seattle line-up. will be waived and the Sabres pick him up

too bad , you missed some fun hockey the last few months of last season

of course it can. If they continue to play offensive minded hockey under Granato and show improvements, we will survive this season. The completed pretty well over the last couple of months of last season in a tough division, maybe they surprise us? More than anything they just need to show that this time the re-build is being done right. Im excited for this season, even though I know they will lose more than they win.
