Philly playing like they are intentionally trying to NOT make the playoffs.
You spelled Winnipeg wrong.

It would be absurd to bet on Levi to play 30-35 if missing next year truly isn’t an option. But I’d still probably be more surprised if they add a backup: Adams made an even riskier bet with Levi last summer, don’t see why he’d balk this time around when there’s a better likelihood of success
No matter what he does, goaltending will play a huge part in whether the Sabres make the playoffs or not.

Depends on goaltending.

Beware
We'll see.
He's due to get some starts with a very tired team in front of him, so we'll see how he does.
I'd be more than happy to welcome him back next year and would even bump him up to 2m a season.

LB will be a starter next season and he deserves it.

A pair of barn burners tonight.
Great game to be at as the crowd was really into it.
LB gets his 2nd straight shutout and is now 9-1-1 in his last 11 games and 12-4-2 on the season.
Somebody is going to pay him to be a starter next year.

Give Atlanta, Quebec, and Salt Lake City an expansion team, move the Coyotes to Houston and water down the talent even more.

10m over 3 years.
Levi in Rochester next year, backing up UPL the year after and hopefully taking the reins the year after that.
Samsonov, DeSmith and Brossoit would be other options.

Does Byram play the right side?

Practices not rigorous?… Strength & Conditioning not enough cardio?
Whatever it is, it is a Sabre problem… Jets played last night and never looked gassed all night… They set the tone with a fast, physical game… We didn’t respond.
The Jets' game started at 12:30 EST yesterday.

No Vilardi.
Dillon is playing tonight after sitting yesterday due to illness.
I think Perfetti is a healthy scratch again.
Looks like Perfetti is playing.

Jets start the 3rd period this afternoon down 3-0 to the Canes and come back and win it 5-3.
Brossoit will be in net against you guys tomorrow evening.
See you then!!!

I would tell any youngster around here to become a millwright.
A 4 year apprenticeship and then you are making about 90k before OT.

Hey long time no argue with. Good to hear from you again.
I need to clarify. I didn't mean THIS season. This season is too late. I meant for the future going forward. I'm already in the mode of thinking what we need to do to have a chance next year. Have been for quite a while actually.
Lowry is a game changing leader. He's not the best player on the ice, but he leads by example, plays the right way, and he can shift the flow and the dynamic of a game by himself on any shift.
When we drafted him I thought Cozens might develop more in that direction but he's not that guy and never will be. We don't have that guy.
Lowry was the right pick for captain. He centers one of the best 3rd lines in the league and is an excellent PKer. He has squared off with Reaves twice and hasn't come out with a loss yet. What I really like about him is he brings it in the playoffs.
He is signed for 3.25m for two more seasons after this one.

Long overdue.
Some really, really bad decisions by him.
I suspect Laine, Texler, Gaudreeau and even Werenski will all be shopped.

He would be the exact type of guy to staple to Power long term.
The contract is long but with his skating and brains I don’t see him as a guy that falls off a cliff.
In my mind their biggest need is a top end RHD to pair with Power long term and help him along.
Dylan DeMelo would be a perfect fit for Power or Dahlin. Plays first pairing minutes, has a high hockey IQ and is great in his own zone.
I have no idea why Chevy hasn't extended him yet.

Laurent Brossoit will be an UFA and he is an excellent goalie.

Selanne had military obligations and regarding trade protection, players can't get that until they are 27 years old or played 7 seasons if I am not mistaken.
When is Mitts an UFA?

He will likely sign the 8 for $50M standard contract.
That's a steal.

He's on pace for 70 points this season.
6 x 6.25m is a steal.

Oh they definitely look great. Very impressive too considering almost everyone was calling for a rebuild.
I just think this very easy extended stretch of games has also been a bit of a factor, too.
I was also the guy clamouring for Hellebuyck if he was at all available when nearly no one else was so, I feel rather good in that as he’s been their best player
I’m not sold on them as a playoff threat at all until I see it, the whole league tightens up defensively so with their advantage on that front somewhat mitigated I’m not sure their offence will get it done at that time, but it’s certainly wide open. You have to give them credit for an outstanding season thus far.
Bowness needs some awards consideration
9 games in 15 days isn't that easy, especially the last 4 or 5 games. I think they have won every b2b game this year.
I'm okay if they keep playing like this in the playoffs...they are playing playoff hockey right now in my opinion.
Bones has done wonders but Tippett on the left coast will probably get it and one could argue, deservedly so.
Helle would have done wonders for a few teams around the league.
Brossoit has been just as good to be honest. I remember posting that you guys would be wise to pick him up a few years ago. He knocked us out of the playoffs last year and then got hurt but still got a ring. He'd be a good addition on the Sabres and deserves a shot at being a starter. Hoping Levi or Comrie or UPL would turn into a starter this year was asinine and should be a firable offence. Comrie is your highest paid goalie coming in at 50k more than LB. Basically wasting a year of all your good players just like Chevy did with our AHL D playing in the NHL a few years ago.

Yes, and they bought out the team captain and send their 2C to Kings during the offseason!! And last season the coach shouted out that the stars are lazy (but said in other words). Not what we are used to here.
Not what we were use to here either with Maurice as coach since the beginning of time.
Bones has them playing a structured game and our goalies are playing like allstars.
Scheif is our leading scorer and around 43rd in the league yet the team is in first overall.
Boston, TO, and TO again before the much, much needed break.
We've had a pretty easy schedule except for the last string of 9? games in 15 days. Have a horrendous March/April, so I am glad they are banking points now.

The next captain of the Sabres will be/should be
in The Aud Club

I think the players should vote on it.
