Sabres need to bring over Jake Allen as their vet goalie. Waive Comrie Allen has been a starter in the league and would be a good partner for UPL I'd try to sign him for next season too. have him and UPL split starts or 50-30 for UPL if he continues to improve Levi plays as many games as possible in AHL For the 25/26. I bring up Levi to team with UPL would would be 27 (?) at this point and would be the vet to Levi. Levi becomes starter in 26-27 or 27-28

Yes coaching is definitely an issue. I look forward to seeing them at full health in January. We should find out over the last 50 games if this is a group you can go into next year with.

Money talks. Like most UFA's the Sabres would have to overpay... just like they did with Clifton I was thinking more of going forward with this group into next. This year is over ...

I think it can come from within. Though preferably it's natural I honestly think that ones "balls" (as Torts would say) can grow if you add toughness on the 4th line. You know you have guys who will have your back. Also, a true energy line will energize the entire team, not just the one line. I really want to see Carrier back in a Sabres uniform (UFA in Vegas) and if Philly drops out of the race - what would it take to bring back Deslauriers back. Probably would have to overpay what you usually would for a 4th liner but worth it. Sad that the guys this team desperately need were here and discarded. Add Foligno to that list as guys they should have never traded away Has a NTC too Give us our solution when you have time

Once healthy the top 9 would consist of Skinner Thompson Tuch JJP Cozens Quinn Greenway. Mitts. Benson eventually you could replace greenway with Rosen, Kulich or Savoie and put JG on the 4th line IF you had a proper 4th line. Is this good enough to compete ? If not this season , next ? Or do you need to bring in another legit top 9? IMHO, this is a pretty good lineup as long as you supplement it with a hard working , forechecking 4th line that brings it every night. If I'm looking ahead to next year I'm putting together Greenway. Krebs and William Carrier (UFA) is my 4th line. Carrier has been described as a wrecking ball on skates. Grigs can come back as 13th forward. I want my 14th guy to be a heart and soul type as well if one of the top 9 get hurt. With 2 of Kulich, Savoie and Rosen (1 being on the Sabres) in the AHL they should be able to fill in Sad I'm already thinking next season but that's where things are.

Prediction Time: Will DG be fired during the season? If so, when?

It's over for this year. Build towards next year. -
Here is what I could find on him....not really impressive "Robinson established himself as a speedy NHL winger, who brings some size and two-way capabilities to the club. Heโs mostly thought of as an effective penalty killer, but he doesnโt bring a ton else to the table. Heโs not overly physical, he doesnโt have much of a scoring touch; really, the best thing you can say about him is that usually, when heโs on the ice, nothing really happens. Heโs a classic replacement level player." my guess he is with Sabres for 10 days till Tuch and Greenway return and then waived

Yep. I'm emotionally done until a major change is made. Someone gets fired or a significant trade. Until then, they are just background noise.
