If we are talking about trades. With Kesselring out, the time is now to go get another defenseman. They’ve managed to survive with Bryson, but he’s a band-aid — an emergency option, not someone you want playing every night.

He's talked about wanting to play with his brothers in NJ I think Canuck fans are bracing for it

Blaming the best player is a Sabres fan tradition

Pretty sure the league will still value Power more than Byram I would certainly be on the phone to Vancouver (since Quinn is likely to walk once his contract is up) to see if there is interest I'd be asking how much they value Tuch as well

Podkolzen - Russian Bear 🐻. thought he was gonna be much more of an impact player when he was drafted but has found a role with the Oilers

It's amazing that they couldn't find money to offer Roslovic a decent contract

TSN , Sportsnet. What's the 3rd? The French version?

How much better would Sabres games be if they improved from Ray and Dan ? Fire Dan and find another role for Ray

The movement is the main difference. Plus they all can pass and get their shots on the net. *cough Tuch

Anyone else watching on SportsNet ? How much better are DeBrusk and Michaels than Dan and Rob? To me it's a world of difference. They even know about the Sabres and their players , so it's not all tilted towards the Oilers

The PP has looked a lot better with skill guys like Rosen and Östlund replacing more of the power forward types like Doan and Tuch guys are actually moving and causing the PKers to work

Also isn't playing Bryson going against his greatest strength. I thought they signed him cause he had such a positive attitude being in the press box?

The issue isn't that one of the six dmen are hurt. I'd imagine most teams are down 1 dman this time of the season. The issue is the 7th guy is Bryson. You'd think a GM who is in the final year of his job would be a little more desperate to make an upgrade

This is what a real franchise looks like. Still want everyone from the Eichel disaster shown the door, but at least there’s finally a hint they’ve learned something. I would love to know if Ruff, Adams and TP were all on the same page in letting him go? This makes sense

I’m with you. At full strength, the team looked okay—which is an improvement. But injuries aside, 1 win in the last 10 shows it’s time to move on. Holding onto a long-term GM hoping things will click is like keeping an ex’s number—you know they weren’t great to begin with, but you convince yourself they could be okay if things were different. Most of the time, you’re better off cutting ties and moving forward.

Why? It's Sabres pace not Buffalo Sabres space ?? So Atlanta Sabres , really nothing changes I prefer they go to KC and come back as the scouts. Maybe the best uniform the NHL has ever had ? Of course , this board would have to be amended ?

It’s not just time to fire Adams — it’s long past time. And the truth is, TP shouldn’t just hand the keys to the next GM… he needs to hand over the entire damn car. Write the cheques, step aside, and stay out of the way. Unfortunately, I don’t see TP allowing that to happen

100% agree Not once have I heard that

I think this is just where we are in the cycle. It’s like being a Bills fan. During the 18-year drought, all we wanted was playoff football. When it finally happened, it felt amazing. But fast-forward to 2025, and now the expectation is the Super Bowl. Once you’ve had a taste of it, anything less feels like a disappointment. It’s the same for Leafs fans—simply making the playoffs isn’t enough anymore. They need playoff wins. Eventually, hopefully, we’ll reach a point where the only thing that really matters is winning the Cup.

But if they are a .500 team at full strength is that good enough? But no Stanley cups At the end of the day, that's what's it's really about

Like so many games this season, if this were just a one-off, you could live with it. most nights I think the effort is there and they look like a competent NHL team. BUT these loses aren’t isolated . They’re happening every night. Yes injuries have played a huge role but still something has to give If this was any other NHL franchise , you'd say "it's just not our year". BUT this isn't any other franchise, it's a circus of a franchise and it's time to get rid of the lead clown and Fire KA

UPL's biggest issue is he can be pretty good most of the game but then he gives up a stinker. They just aren't good enough to overcome it.

Hey that was still pretty good. Didn't score but you see guys with actual offensive imagination out there.

For those paying more attention Was Lyon pulled for his play or as a tactic by Ruff?

Awesome! Thanks for posting Definitely my childhood hero and a big reason I'm a Sabres fan
