It certainly would be useful to see how UPL plays in Buffalo as the season winds down. But I wouldn't consider it a necessity. Getting heavy duty playing time in Rochester, and hopefully a playoff run in the AHL would also be a beneficial experience for him. I still feel strongly that another experienced goalie should be added to the mix this offseason to hedge the risk of prematurely designating UPL as a NHL goalie to rely on. And considering the high rate of injury for goalies the organization needs to add another experienced goalie to the mix.
They need a second Anderson to play with UPL. I just think we hit the jackpot with Anderson that at his age he still has some really good game left and is perfect in the locker room. I think they can find one if there are salary cap dumps, but no way KA gives up a major asset to get one.

This. If Anderson wants a shot at a cup, find a way to make that happen. Almost don't care what the return is, you set the guy up. Maybe have him back next year if he's up for it.
I think KA would do it in a heart beat if it wasn't for Anderson being a big reason why they are winning as of late. I know that momentum doesn't carry over to the next season but the younger players are getting confidence and that does carry over.
I'm sure the players would think highly of KA if he did it, but they also want to win.

Really wanted to see him center the 4th line. He got a nice paycheck to watch hockey for the last couple on months, there are worse gigs.

Is it because Joker was hurt for much of this time?

Too soon to say on Power… He needs to integrate with our core “team-first” core… Last thing the Sabres need is a multi-year jerk like the guy we just rid ourselves of…
Very true, but it's going to take at least 3 years to figure that out. Etched in stone for 3 years. Three years in hockey is a long time.

Muel, Dahlin, Power.
Their etched in stone on this team. The other three are still being worked out.

What is throwing a fit? Sounds like the VGN media are trying to spin it. A reporter wanting to speak to a player the entire league and media hyped for days leading up to the game should darn well expect a post game interview and not getting it should result in some questions as to why.

I see KA making some deals. Giving players a chance on a playoff team, doing them a favor is more of the reason than a 4th round pick.

Don't get me wrong, I like Anderson, but why? UPL and Levi will be playing in Buffalo in the fall. And Portillo will be right behind them.
UPL gets his year with Anderson that he should have had.
Edit.
I don't believe KA wants to trade him at all. I think he wants him here for Levi's game or two this year also. Anderson is supposed to have said he would take it as a huge favor if KA made a deal with the Panthers. He believes they have a legit shot at the cup.

Jack might have had an exceptionally bad night when Rivet's group showed up. But Craig's point was as a pro you have to suck it up.
They where excited kids. They had no clue or care about the game results and where so exited to meet their favorite player. If they where a bunch of drunk Chet and Muffy types you could understand the annoyance after the loss.

Florida Panthers. Buffalo will get a bag of pucks but Anderson will sign another sweet 1 year deal here.

I read somewhere that is has something to do with the mole people.
Has to be.
An elevated walkway that is partially enclosed to break most of the wind would be much cheaper to build and maintain.

Is there a reason for wanting that tunnel?

I also will add another thought. If these leader veterans are really jiving with the young guys and the whole group is tight, it’s probably because these young guys have their heads on right in the first place and maybe they will be ok regardless? Not sure.
Sam had his head in the right place. But Kane didn't. That was a mess.
Surround the youngest with good people. Deviate and bad things happen.

I really worry about stuff like this because it's not like the analytics are fuzzy here, it's like eakin, it doesn't work. So is it not integrated into Granatos lines or what?
It has to be a case of looking at all six guys and what to do with them. There are just to many of the same thing (fast puck movers) to make three nice pairs. Muel may make a great partner but then we lose our stud for our second pairing.

Our eye test has said it isn't working for months now. Joker is good. Better than Ristolainen at first pair, but still not a first pair guy.
Edit.
Why the angry wood chuck?

Dell gets suspended for three games. Mathews should get six games. Mathews intent was to injure. Dell's intent was to interfere.

Quite possibly the worst professional sports game ever announced. A some what cool podcast to listen to with old Wayne-isms , maybe.
Three and a half hours of Rob Ray ? Yes, please. I down loaded the WGR app hoping he was calling the game. I was so disappointed.

We all know that the NHL treats it's money makers as if their eyes are blindfolded. Who is placing bets?
A one game suspension 5 to 1. Bet 1$ and win 5
A two game suspension 10 to 1. Bet 1 and win 10.
Any takers?
Who wants to bet NHL reality? A nasty gram and a minimal fine . 1$ bet will get you $1.00000005 in winnings only if you can match the nasty gram word for word..

While the Sabres have been bad since Jack came here they did make sure he had some quality line-mates and he always got the most minutes. That can't be said for all those around him in a point/game comparison since 2015.
