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.

We can see just what the Sabres are without him. They weren’t even good when he was playing hurt. Imagine wanting to run him out of town? the kid tried to gut it out. glad we are on the same page Randall 👍

This season has been a complete disaster from the beginning, actually before the beginning if thats when Jack broke his ribs I’ll be an optimist though that this is just one of those years when everything goes wrong I would resign Hall if he is willing to take a short term deal 2 to 3 years. If not , I can easily walk away 1) hire BB This should be a no-brainer Hopefully he is quarantining right now 2) put the band back together Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart 3) fill out your lines with youth In the draft I go after either Eklund (especially if Hall moves onor Berniers if Hall stays Eklund immediately goes into the 2nd line winger or Berniers would become 3rd line Center Both are highly competitive and are NHL ready (from what I’ve read anyways) I’ll assume Hall resigns Won’t be much interest elsewhere after this season 2nd line Hall Cozens Mitts since Hall resigns , they draft Berniers and he steps in as 3C I think Jack Quinn will be in the NHL next season too Smart all round game Will be able to play on the 3rd line this would give you Olofsson Berniers and Quinn on the 3rd line 4th line Girgs , Lazar and Asplund Defense Risto and McCabe (If he will come back) Dahlin and Borgen Miller and Bryson Goalie Ullmark and UPL young team I know but better than bringing in worthless low cost vets or overpriced Free agents At least , Bruce behind the bench will make it exciting!

Impressive by Montour, he hit the goalie in the Chrest 2 shots in a row. Figured one would have missed the net by 3 feet 12 points in 12 games Ullmark had a decision. 4 points in the others. (14 games I think )

Does anyone understand the contract situation of Rikard Gronborg? I can only find this paragraph that makes it seem like 2022/23 is the soonest he can come to NHL but he has to be hired by dec 2021? not 100% sure I’m reading it right. “The contract includes an NHL out clause for the 2022-23 season, which is valid until December 31 of 2021. Grönborg's original contract would have run through the 2020-21 season.”

They aren’t playing the islanders

Sign him tonight!!

Don’t worry I’m right there with you. Those 70s teams are still the golden age of the Sabres

For the love of everything pure and holy we have to hope Cozens can play #2 next season. I’ll actually have optimism for next season. that and Hutton won’t be on the team

Lazy?? Or old!!!

I like Cozens with the best players. Better than having him at Center between Okposo and Reider

if i could like this 10 times i would.. perfect fit

im guessing he stays till the trade deadline at which point Adams goes behind the bench and Ralph moves upstairs.

reading his profle and "Elite Competitiveness" jumps off the page to me. Sign me up

RHD makes a lot of sense. we have to assume Risto is gone after next season as a UFA.

Is there a tkachuk in this draft ?

Sabres 12 points in 12 games Ullmark had a decision. Not great but sure as hell not a laughing stock 11 other games - 3 points total!

The real question is what’s wrong with Eichel? This is not the same player we’ve seen grow over the last few years.

And still haven’t won a playoff series. May this year only because they are playing the NHLs Equivalent of the east coast league

Mitts should never sit again this season, bring back Thompson and Asplund as well. May as well figure out if there is even a sliver of hope for any of them

That would entail hitting the net ! maybe luck bounce off someone’s ass as his shot is going 3ft wide ? I guess we is getting chances I guess

Is it confirmed he’s been playing with broken ribs? If so, was it prior to the season ?

How did Montour ever score 9 goals in a season?

I was and am firmly against trading Eichel but there is one scenario that could change my mind. The Sabres winning the draft lottery and selected another Dman you could then Trade Eichel for another (younger) elite talent; plus plus prospects and draft picks. Then you would have Dahlin, Cozens, UPL, Mitts (?) , Kakko (as an example), Quinn, plus Power #1 this year all basically go into prime at same time
