You sir need to change your name to Doomeme, doo you have these things saved up or do you just pick and choose off the internets. No I did not misspell doo, it will forever be in your nature.

My takes on the game and preseason: Toker smoked Dell in the preseason This game was watchable in comparison to the others this preseason, even the shootout was fun Quinn reminds me of Mitts, not in style of play but he flashes skills but needs time in the AHL to get used to the pro game I wish we had a much better forward group because Cozens may need some AHL time also plus it would give him JJP and Quinn time to gel because this could be our #1 line in the future and at worst our #2. A bit disappointed in Bjork this preseason and this game. Didn't expect really good out of him but expected better Hinostroza may be our best pickup this offseason I don't really get the disgust with Thompson, he's not a 1st or 2nd liner but he'd definitely be a decent 3rd liner if given some patience I don't know if he'll get there but Olofsson is trying to be a better well rounded player Not sure if there's an answer to our Dmen but weak would be an accurate term for them and Granato must have everyone trying out because having Bryson and Pysyk in at the end of that game was a mistake in a 1 goal game that must not be done when the regular season starts. Do we also have anyone on the backend that gives us confidence on the PK?? Ruosto is growing on me and if nothing else the speed of this team is off the charts compared to recent teams. Is there a chance that once some of these guys get used to playing together they can at least make this season entertaining??

It's hard to evaluate the rest of the team when he's played so horribly. I keep going back to the score and although the defense in front of him has been equally as bad, after these past 2 games I'm not even confident he's AHL ready.

Getting to 10 pages after the last 2 games is going to take more than just talk about chewable!!

Man those old cartoons can get a bit racy no??

Well Granato appears to like these speedy guys, so there might be the connection

They take longer but they're a smoother ride

Well the Skinner-Mitts-Hineysniffer was by far the best line against the Pens when Olofsson was moved. The PCA line looks young and interesting. Bjork-Girgs-Olofsson and Thompson-Ruost-Okposo looks like a wiener to me to start the season. 2nd and 3rd pairing Dmen still up in the air to me.

Dang l understand blowing it up but trading your young guys to?? 2 1sts for Chychrun and we can’t get 4 for Jack because it's too much??

Have you seen our GKrs??

I agree with you with the exception that if the John E. trade isn't completed by opening day, I think anything is possible with the forward group. It wouldn't shock me to see Asplund and Girgensons at C. Skinner-Cozens-Olofsson .......... Bjork-Mitts-Thompson...........Hinostroza-Asplund-Ruosto........Caggiula-Girgs-Okposo lines. Dahlin-Joki....... Butcher-Miller...... Samuelsson/Bryson/Hagg fight it out to play with Pysyk IMO. Unfortunately the GK position just sticks out like a sore thumb. You have Bjork, Girgensons, Caggiula, and Asplund on the PK and who the heck knows how the PP shakes out besides Dahlin and Olofsson on PP1 and Mitts or Cozens at C. The trade deadline time will be interesting again for this team and if Quinn and JJP show enough to get called up at some point in the season.

They won't take John E. for Byfield and you think they're going to give us him for Johnson?? Your Johnson may be worth it but not the Sabres one.

Well I did name 7 C's on their roster as for us our LHD we have Power, Dahlin, Hagg, Butcher, Samuelsson, Bryson and Johnson. All with varying degrees of NHL pedigrees. If Power and Johnson move into our lineup next year, that leaves several guys that could/should have some traceability and all except Power and Dahlin will be the 3rd guy which I would think is an extra incentive to try and pry one of those C's from them and yes I would think unless Butcher has a sudden comeback year you would have to add something of value for them to make a deal.

A quick question, why is a trade with the LA Kings not in the cards even if John E. isn't on the table for them. Their C position currently has Kopitar, Danault, Byfield, Vilardi, Turcotte, Anderson-Dolan and Kupari. Is it unreasonable that they could still make a trade for one of these guys even it it's not Byfield?? The Sabres have an over abundance of LHD prospects, I'm surprised we couldn't entice them with a ++ of that for Vilardi, Turcotte or Kupari.

I'm guessing you weren't very good in history class, the reason those guys were picked up at all was because the Sabres had a historically bad PK team the year before and they were all looked at as upgrades in that department. Otherwise I don't have an issue with your post except that if it smells like a tank and looks like a tank, IT'S A TANK. Having said that the start of this one has some young pieces that have the ability to grow into a team unlike the previous reset, that blew it up and was left with little in the tank/depth.

As for the C-aptain label, there have been several players who were 1 year leaders so to speak and if I'm not mistaken they had a Captain of the Month Club going on in the early 2000's, I think the 03-04 season but I could be wrong on that year.

From what I understand, Zemgus having a girlfriend in a relationship, I don't think he'll he hoe-ing around as much as the younger members of the team will be. OMG I think Inkman has too much influence on me!!!

Cozens has to be the most overrated 13 point scorer who didn't score a point in his final 8 games that has ever existed on a Sabres roster. I like the kid myself but holy cow are you in for a letdown IMO. Let him prove himself before we hand the crown to him. Does he have potential to be a leader, I hope so but to put that burden on a kid who hasn't done jack squat yet in his career is mind boggling to me.

Give me McAvoy, Swayman, Beecher/1st and Debrusk and l do the deal. DeBrusk for salary dump only. Why?? Top 4 dmen set for next 8 years and you get a decent GK for now and Beecher is big and should end up a good 4th line Center. No McAvoy no deal, l really don't want to deal with the Bruins either, btw.

Wow, talk about revisionist history on this site. Kane, Okposo, Reinhart, Risto and Bogo were good???

In my opinion a big part of the problem in the Sabres Front Office is the lack of continuity. You can't keep hiring and firing every 2 years. I'm going to give this organization Adams, Karmanos and Nightingale 3 years to turn this around. Their 1st step is to tear down and retool. 2nd step is to develop the young guys on the team and their draft choices plus some coherent playing style. Step 3 is results. You can't jump over to step 3 without first getting steps 1 & 2 done first. Personally I think Adams has made good choices with his hires so far and I think he's smart enough not to F bomb Mrs. Pegula and tell her husband he's not going to follow his instructions in cutting back the budget without being business like about it.

I think @LGR4GM and @Thorny mommies took their phones away from them again.

I wish he would use emoji's then because l can't differentiate his DA posts from his sarcasm ones.
