If it’s elsewhere, may as well fold the franchise

to think Nedeljkovic could have been picked up off of waivers earlier this season.

I agree, nothing about what I’ve seen from Guenther is screaming first overall pick. that being said, you don’t want to give too much weight to a 2 week tournament We will see how he does in the medal round Ive liked Stillman on Canada, hard nosed , hit everyone and has offensive skills. Mctavich is definitely helping his draft stock. same with the Kid who’s taken Clarke’S job on PP1. Ottenger or something

Devils win again sabres will need to win their remaining 4 games in regulation in order to have a chance to catch them

I haven’t really been that impressed yet. You? I would pick Clarke before Guenther but of course I’m basing this on 4 periods of watching them so far bored and re -watched the USA - Can WJC game earlier today I really think Beniers should be the pick Brings everything the Sabres need more of him and Cozens together would be a nightmare for opposing Defencemen Both have the desire to battle in the corners, both have speed and talent

Ill be very impressed with the Granato if we can see a bounce back game next time out looked like more than a few Sabres were thinking about their off season plans today.

Was Murray one of the guys they want to see get some NHL games? If so, time is running short

I was just thinking the same thing. Move Risto to a team that can protect him. NYR are in a similar situation

The cursed season continues

Worse game under Granato? I’m sure there has have been other clunkers but this has the feel of a game from before he was coach

Maybe the first shot against UPL in a game shouldn’t be a grade A opportunity against from now on?

i dont care if its last or 2nd last. Dont want 3rd last because you are then 4th in the lottery with Seattle being #3.

I agree. Ideally he is the 4th line winger. But with their current roster I have him slotted higher. Basically to balance the lines I like Asplund on his current line Think they have good chemistry

I don’t like VO and R2 on the same line. Figured KO would be the one going into the corners. Bjork can play Center ?

I like Cozens at Center. You want the puck on his stick to enter the zone and to be attacking with speed skinner. eichel, Samson R2 , Cozens, Okposo asplund, Mitts, Tage VO , Girgenson, Bjork Quinn and some decent low cost vets to fill the reserves and Amerks I want them to keep as much cap space as possible. ONly spending enough to ensure 2 capable NHL goaltenders. Maybe add a winger during the season, finally being buyers and using draft picks to acquire.

Eklund made his debut for the men’s national team today and pulled off one of the best passes I’ve ever seen

Sorry. I wasn’t clear. I was trying to agree with your post , adding substance

We would much rather be a mediocre team with literally no chance of winning the cup, but we will fight tooth an nail for the 8th and final playoff spot.

if you think they are tanking, how would you explain Eakin and Irwin in the Press Box?

I used to be a huge tank guy and I want to see them win, I’m skeptical that’s there are many that want to see them lose

Some Clarke love from Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects ”I’m not sure we can even have the debate anymore. Brandt Clarke is clearly the highest IQ defender in this crop. If he can tidy up the stride to add more pop from a stop then the upside will be the highest as well.” RHD I should add! So rank I’ll rank him above all the LHD on my “hope the Sabres draft” list

Is there even one fan out there cheering from them to lose? The reality of the situation is that they can improve and even win a few games, while still finishing at the bottom. No harm in hoping the Devils and Ducks win a few games too.

Yes if it gets close and they want to ensure they don’t move higher than 30th... 2nd best odds. They can always play the Hutton card

Big save and big favour by former Sabres Tennyson with about 2 mins left in game

Can we trade this guy already? Need more guys who play the “right” way!!
