SABRES 0311

The bare minimum is getting a top four dman. If that is the best KA can do then so be it but this team needs to get tougher to play against.

So is he a left or right handed shot top four dman?

I think 15g and 25a is a reasonable expectation next year.

With no evidence I think Kane was a bad influence on the younger guys. I have no idea about Dreger other than he’s an insider.

Botts. At least he tried to run the show. TM brought in some big names but maybe weren’t the right ones.

They played good and it didn’t hurt Philly was checked out from the opening puck drop. On to watching the playoffs and arguing the same stuff until draft day.

I’m the only one who picked the billboard option? If we get enough people we can split the cost. Just saying.

My prediction: some people will go. Some will stay home. Some will boo. Some will chant. Some will cheer. Some players will do a meaningful fan salute at center ice. Some will do a half hearted stick raise and skate off. The sun will come up the next day. In hindsight none of this is surprising considering how the season started.

Listening to this presser will be like listening to adults in a Charlie Brown cartoon.

Got my first site up and running through GitHub. Still needs some work on viewing on mobile devices but seems good on computers. Written using HTML and CSS on Notepad++. It’s IT jobs focused, not hockey but I am putting together a site for a local barbershop. Completely free of charge to the owner. It’s free for me on GitHub anyway 😆

I’m in the same boat as those posters. Tuch had a habit of floating or not engaging based on the eye test only. He has been noticeably more active defensively and his goal production is awesome. He also consistently answers to the media.

Pencil Norris in for 2C. If performs well above expectations and stays healthy I’d be more open to 1C duties.

Defense If I’m being realistic I would go for a second pair quality, stay at home, physical defenseman. If I’m worried about the cap even though it’s going up I would trade either Byram or Power to make the deal. Dahlin - Muel Power or Byram - New Guy Clifton - JBD PK: Dahlin - New Guy Forwards Priority is lock up Tuch and JJP. Tuch deserves it over the summer not last minute as a show of faith. Either Thompson is our 1C or we get a new guy and Thompson moves full time to 1RW. Norris and Kulich are not the answer if we want to be better. I would package our 2025 first overall pick with Quinn or Kulich if I had to. JJP - New Guy - Thompson Tuch - Norris - Quinn/Kulich Greenway - McLeod - Benson Malenstyn - Krebs -Lafferty/Kozak Tgere are a lot of configurations with that lineup because most of these guys have played up and down already. I would actually like to see a very physical guy on the 4RW.

Good point. Skinner has a history of being a one way player and the playoffs require a full team effort on both sides of the red line.

If the Sabres lose their remaining games this thread will hit 15 pages.

Stone hands Girgs misses the open net.

Nice puck movement. Clifton, Muel, Power all need upgrades.

Östlund would’ve had that there.

They need a 1C who is a proven vet that doesn’t have a major injury history.

And that’s the guy people talk about being our 2C next year 😂

Will the real Sabres please stand up 😂

Still rather have him as backup than Devin effing Levi.

I mean they are Tampa and we are Buffalo so…

But he wants to be here.

Two D taking one forward.
