they could go to 3 first rounders but even 2 plus a lower end prospect should get you a good player.

All these prospects but there is very little opportunity for any of them on the Big Club I figure there is 1 top 9 winger spot and potentially 2 spots for Dmen available over the next 3 years. Sorry if im sounding like a broken record but its time for GMKA to start making some deals. Zadorov goes for a 3rd and a 5th..we can argue about Zadorov but he is a legit dman in the league What would the 2024 (top 10 protected), one of Savoie, Rosen, Kulich or Östlund, plus draft picks or lower rated prospects get them?

Exactly. Shane Wright gets an exemption cause he is born a few days before Savoie? Hope he continues to make a mockery of the league!

I don't agree. The CHL will survive just as well without a guy like Savoie. is there an example of someone playing in the OHL in the same circumstance? Top 10 pick and draft plus 2 year ? It should be about the player not the team or the league

I hope there will be a rule named after our boy. He dominates the WHL so badly that they will allow NHL teams an exemption for a top 10 draft pick that has clearly outgrown the CHL in his draft +2 year and put said player in AHL. worst part of this is that Savoie already proved he is quite capable of playing in the AHL at a very high level

This is the Sabres saviour???

Just watched the end of the football game. I'm confused; you are allowed to stop a team driving for a winning / tying drive under 2 mins to go? Watching McDermotts coaching , I thought the best you could do is allow them to drive to the 1 yrd line and then get away with a penalty on the last play of the game to hold onto the win.

Should have been pulled after 3 in the first but definitely after this one.

Exactly. I'd take another top 4 dman myself, if they make a trade. Actually GMKA HAS to make a move !!! There is no goalie that is going to make a difference available. Improve the D in front of what they have is a better way to go

Mitts had a rough night. should have had 2 goals and had a few turnovers They will back with a win on Sat. Guaranteed!

oh he was saving his time out for 1 min to go down by 2. Now I get it

I would have pulled him after the 3rd goal. BUT I also think the team in front of him did him zero favours

Down by 3 with 8 mins the go. Why wouldn't you pull the goalie ? im not one to want to fire DG at this point but I'm sure it's gonna happen after the season if things don't get substantially better by the end of the season

Are you actually watching or just looking at a chart ??

Ummmm. Pull the goalie might have been an idea there

That's why you can't watch a game solely through a spreadsheet. the team in front of him has been a unmitigated disaster tonight.

Good news is that there are due for a win next games in this win one, lose one streak they are on at some point they are gonna have to put a stream together of 7 or 8 wins in 10 or so btw. Why doesn't DG use timeouts ??? St.louis calls one after they give up 3 in a row and promptly score 2. I don't get it !

Or he just turned 21 and that's what often 21 year old dmen look like

Call time out and change goalies. Do something Don

Stop being so patient! Let's Go!!

Wouldn't Perry be the SOB that we all crave ? Assuming that what happened in Chicago wasn't that far over the line. Though we do know that it wasn't criminal

Assuming that Benson doesn't regresss it's becoming clearer that there is probably only 1 spot in the Sabres lineup available next year for Kulich, Savoie and Rosen to fight over, not to mention all the other high end prospect they have. Its tough to walk away from one or more of these guys but at some point you just have to. Imagine a lineup that had another true top 4 dman, where the Johnson brothers, Clifton and Joker are the bottom 4.

I really have to wonder about his future. He's got pretty good energy but is it enough to be their 4th line winger for the future? I could see maybe a 4th line of Greenway, Krebs and William Carrier (or similar vein) in 2024

I thought the opposite, remember he called Adams to say thanks. Then again its a few years ago, so I could be way off base. The question will be if Florida can afford him..of course, they can offer less and still be more attractive than Buffalo due to weather, taxes , ect...

I know we always want to bring back guys who wore a Sabres jersey BUT wouldn't Reinhart be exactly the vet that the Sabres should sign in the offseason ? 3rd line, Stanley cup experience, isn't allergic to the dirty area in front of the opposing teams net and immediately upgrades the PP
