As of Aug 11 there are now Days until the Sabres season Afinogenov played 9 seasons for the Sabres 569GP 134G 200A

The list isn’t ranked, so he is just 1 of the 5 listed but regardless he’s opening eyes across the hockey universe

markstrom and Hanifan are a combined $11 million and olofsson and Jokiharju $7.25million trade works fine If you are concerned Calgary retains $1 million of the Markstrom contract

Divide the 23 man roster any way you want. Since we know these forwards are guaranteed a spot, let’s exclude them Tage, Cozens, Skinner, Tuch, Okposo and Girgensons. And we know 5 dmen who are 100% here. dahlin, Power, Samuelson, Johnson and Clifton therefore you have 6F and 5D written in Stone. Who are the remaining 12? Here is my Guess JJP, Kulich, Mitts, Krebs, Greenway, Savoie fill out the 5 remaining opening night starting roster Rousek and Jost are in the press box Hanifan is the 6th dman and Lybushkin is the 7th Goalies are Markstrom and Levi is the goalie tandem Joker, Olofsson, UPL are 3 parts of the trade with Calgary that will also include the Sabres sending the flames a prospect and draft picks

That day will come, there is no doubt in my mind. It’s not quite the middle of August, let’s see how this plays out

As of Aug 11th there are now Days until puck drop. oh what could have been if Brandon didn’t suffer like most others under Ralph 🤮 the only Sabres to ever wear 62. His time with Buffalo was way too short, played one full season with them and parts of 2 others. Now a legit star with Florida.

As of Aug 10th there are Days until the Sabres season begins Sabres Icon Tyler Ennis, the only player to ever wear 63 for them

As of August 9th there are Days until puck drop #64 is David Moravec who played 1 game for the Sabres in the 99-00 season Drafted in the 8th round in 1998 by the Sabres Had a good career in hockey playing 575 games over 13 seasons in the Czech league now is an assistant coach with the Czechia u17 national team Edit. Should add the only player to ever wear 64 in a regular season game for Buffalo

Yea I believe gas prices can fluctuate widely within Ontario. I believe the closer to the border the cheaper gas prices are Niagara Falls is about $1.61 right now, Burlington $1.63 and a place like Timmins it’s over $1.70. Expensive no matter how you look at it. Price difference is due to taxes Is it worth it ? Do we get value from all those extra tax $$. That’s the billion $ question I suppose

Did you convert the currency? I believe gas prices here in Burlington are about $1.65 / litre which would convert to $5.87 /gallon in Canadian in US$ it’s $4.38 per gallon

Talking about Columbus , hard to believe a team that finished 2nd last has been so pro-active this summer while Adams has basically sat on his hands on done nothing. Not sure how anyone can be optimistic going into this season. 🤷‍♂️

You are correct! I absolutely have no recollection of him being a Sabres. In 1987, Napier got traded along with Lee Fogolin to the Buffalo Sabres for Normand Lacombe and Wayne Van Dorp. his last 2 seasons in the NHL were with the Sabres. Retired a 2 time Stanley Cup winner He is most recognized for his time with the Canadians

I thought every thread eventually turns into an Adams thread ,,, Usually the same people regurgitating their arguments over and over and over and ….

As of Aug 8th there are Days until the Sabres season begins this one is for the old guys on the site. Truth be told I don’t remember him at all, playing for the Sabres see if anyone knows who this is …..

Nope, was definitely over my head ’stone cold’ Brady Austin

Good job. 👍

The above is Brady Austin who now plays for Kölner Haie of the DEL league in Germany

as of Aug 7 there are Days until puck drop interesting that no Sabres has ever worn 66 The above pic is of Seantrel Henderson. A 7th round pick in 2014 who started all 16 games for the Bills that year He played for the Bills from 2014-2017 unfortunately, he suffered from Crones disease. He was suspended multiple times due to his use of marijuana to help deal with the pain of the disease. He later ran into injury issues and was never able to duplicate the success he had in his rookie campaign . Now plays for Saskatchewan of the CFL

NHL.com team preview. Trigger alert. For those who get triggered when you hear others showing optimism in regards to the coming season - All 3 of the writers have the Sabres in the playoffs( 2 of them written in Sharpie) , so Watch at your own discretion https://www.nhl.com/video/buffalo-sabres-season-preview/t-277350912/c-18230556

Hint #2. Drafted 7th round in 2012. Played 5 regular season games with Sabres and over 140 with Rochester

Hint #1. defenceman

Hopefully the barn door is now open and we will see more trade im still in the camp that Hanifan is a Sabres by the time camp opens

Sometimes I think your beef is with fans who are optimistic and are excited for the season. Can you not let someone who is “looking forward to the season with a belief that the Sabres are in a position to succeed” be? Why do you feel the need to tear that person down?

As of August 6th there are Until puck drop ill be really impressed if you can name this player without help of the internet
