Cursed

I know one thing. I don’t care what round they draft a dman. I don’t want to see him on the roster till he is at least 21

I don’t get this take at all. Let him get a couple of games in. See what it’s like vs the best in the world. Hardly think it’s going to ruin him.

don't remember the 74 cup but definitely remember the 79-80s team. Arguably, the best team in history Unfortunately upset in the SEmi's by the Islanders Sabres were huge favorites going into that series.

ok to experience Perreault and Hasek 😂

Its a good price we pay for being old, we got to experience Dom!

First, I want to apologize to Hutton, ive said on Multiple occasions that he has been the worst goalie in the league over the last year and a half but I did some research and found out that Jimmy Howard has actually been worse. Since Hutton had the hot streak in early Oct 2019 here are the stat lines" Jimmy Howard 22GS 1W 21L .878Sv% 4.29GAA Carter Hutton 38GS 7W 29L .886Sv% 3.54GAA Of course Howard was so bad last season, he decided to retire...Unfortunately cant say the same for Hutton. As for the Sabres goalies on a whole Ullmark 11 Decisions 12points Rest of them: 19 Decisions 1 WIN! 4 points total!!! Thats mind-blowing! Maybe gives me hope for a season when the backup isn't brutal?

Exactly right. Eklund is also thought to be near NHL ready. Also both have late 2003 birthdays; so they are older prospects for this years draft. In 6 years you might be disappointed you didn’t draft Powers. However, this team simply can not afford to wait.

I never want to see Asplund out of the lineup for someone like Okposo or Reider or .....

A few games won’t hurt his development

UPL time? You don’t usually try to hurt the other teams worst players

Oops. Didn’t mean I want him to get hurt but maybe the last we ever see of Hutton?

1-10-1. .885 sv%. Coming off being the worst goalie in the league last season sabres mgmt deserves all the fans wrath they’ve had to endure for brining Hutton back

Yes but you still have Hutton, so don’t hold your breathe

Thanks for the post. I don’t see him being drafted by the Sabres One of the main reasons they took Jack Quinn was not only his scoring ability but also his 2 way game. Doesn’t seem like that’s a strength of Johnson’s. Again, I’m just going to readings as I haven’t seen him play. Looking forward to the frozen 4 Ill be surprised if One of Berniers or Eklund isn’t a Sabre next season. Both seem to be the exact type of player they desperately need at this time.

My thought watching the Lehrer interview today is where would the Sabres be if things worked out for him here ? maybe he had to leave to work things out for himself? such a shame, Sabres could use his fire / intensity as well

I’m in! Plus they can’t wait 4 years for the Dman to develop

I’m definitely leaning towards the forwards nice thing about Berniers and Eklund is that competitiveness is one of their main attributes. Kent Johnson will be an interesting name to watch as well. He is still skinny at the moment but is 6’1 and may be most talented of all.

28 more games ??? Dear god

I wouldn’t put the new guy behind the bench yet. He won’t stand a chance with the current goaltenders. Wait till either Ullmark returns or summer and Hire BB

Odds that Ralph is on the flight tonight ?

They were speculating on the red wings vs Hurrinane game that they may not want to pay him what he is worth. of course you could say the same of Buffalo.

I wonder if Adam’s is waiting for Brind’Amour to become a free agent this summer ?

Not sure how you do it but this team needs an energy line. Maybe Girgs and Lazar would be a start? 3 guys that go out there, can play and just run people over.

I get it but who are you filling in the lineup ? Vets at NHL minimums just aren’t good enough Maybe the team would be so young they wouldn’t know they are supposed to struggle.
