See how Bolts are a team and stick up for each other. It's been years since the Sabres had any jam in their game!!
Are you trying to tell us that the Sabres haven't been a good team in years?

Hey, now. Let's not overdramatize things. It was FOUR first round picks....And most of those were at the top of the draft. One was our old friend Taylor Hall, who ended up a Sabre anyway and was a huge success with the team.
"Here’s the four players that Edmonton drafted with the picks they would’ve given up: Sam Gagner in 2007, Magnus Paajarvi in 2009 and Taylor Hall in 2010. The 2008 pick was used in a later offer sheet for Dustin Penner."
Is that accurate? I thought it was every other year, not consecutive years.

I don't like this plan at all. What do they have to gain from it (as I write this question I realize this is about money most likely rather than showcasing each countries talent).
So they'll play a WJC tournament in August and then again at the traditional time in December? I'm a big believer in the WJC when it goes forward in December / January. I would have liked it if they could have found a way to play it before the NHL draft for the eligible top prospects. Doesn't seem right to me.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. In my mind, this is the best, most exciting hockey tournament each year. For the players, it's the equivalent of the Olympics. This is likely as much for the experience as anything else.

He also let our two best players walk out the door because he didn't want to chance losing a nickel.
also had our best success under him , Quinn and Regier and those people aren't usually thought of in good terms.

I hope to see Power and Quinn play a fair amount of games with the big club.

Gonna be interesting in a couple weeks, as it looks like Eichel is getting ready to start contact during practice. DeBoer says the Eichel has been the best player on the ice during practice. I think he's just gonna dominate with Vegas.

It may take another three years of player development and experience but could the Sabres be "the Team" come 2025?? Listed major players on roster and not JAG's who could be filled by veterans.
Stamkos- Thompson is closest comparable
Kucherov- Mitts and Quinn (neither will be as good, but combined could come close)
Point- Krebs
Killorn- Tuch
Palat- Skinner
Cirelli- Cozens
Hedman- Dahlin
McDonagh- Joker
Sergachev-Power
Cernak- Samuelsson
Vasi- UPL/ Levi/ Portillo
Gourde- Paterka
I purposely left Olofsson off because I don't think he will be around in a few years. I also have no idea about future picks who could be our young prospects in a few years.
How are Stamkos and Tage comparable? Stamkos had 50 goals in his 2nd season, will be first ballot hall of famer. I like Tage but there is no comparison.

The Sabres had lost 5 straight (and Anderson and Olofsson) on their West Coast road trip when Edmonton came to Buffalo. Edmonton was white-hot with a 10-2 record coming into the game and Draisaitl and McDavid were vying for the scoring title and all the MVP talk (as well as Ovechkin's early season goal run).
Cozens 2 goals, 0 assists. He, Caggiula, and Hinostroza were matched against McDavid's line all night as a defensive speed line. Cozens won the matchup all game long. (McDavid did get an assist on the power play.)
Since that game, Edmonton is 8-9 overall.
Heck, you could say... Cozens broke McDavid. You'd probably be wrong, but you could say it.
Edit: Zegras and Anaheim lost a 6-5 game to Edmonton so far this year. Zegras 0-1-1, -1 and 4 shots. Cozens wins!
Wonder if Edmonton would do McDavid for Cozens straight up?

And Cozens is being asked to grind against McDavid. I'd be willing to bet Anaheim is not line-matching Zegras against McDavid on defensive zone starts.
Has he even played against Edmonton? Anaheim and Edm are in the same division, they face each other often.

I can't tell yet if Adams is playing 4d chess. He's definitely playing 3d chess as opposed to Murray who played checkers.
Murray played beer pong.

No it’s business commentary. This company was once twice the size it is today. It’s revenue has been mostly flat for a decade.
after the transition to digital that all publications went through, the Times revenue has been increasing steadily over the the last few years and looks like it's past year has been a larger revenue increase than it's most recent years.

First name that popped in my head was Paul Terbenche (sic?) but I like Gates Orlando.
I met Terbenche's son at work last year. He's a sales rep and I noticed his name on some emails. Asked him if Paul was his father. He came in the next day with some hockey cards and other stuff. Had a real nice talk about the early days of the Sabres. I brought in my own Terbenche card. Was pretty cool.

A few months back, a friends friend golfing with Scotty Bowman where Scotty said the Sabres were for sale. I didn't post, but since this is up, figured I'd throw this out for the fun of it.

There is a plausible explanation why the Sabres are losing a majority of its games. It's not a mystery. Most of the teams we are playing are more talented than this rebuilding team. A person can be a devoted Sabre fan and still recognize that uncomfortable truth. You don't have to be analytical wiz to recognize that. All you have to have is a penny's worth of objectivity when watching the games. Right now, the Sabres don't have enough talent to be a serious team. It may an uncomfortable fact to acknowledge but it is an obvious reality.
Who won't acknowledge we don't have the talent? I think that's obvious to everyone. Nothing to do with my post.

There is a demonstrable difference in the play under Krueger than under Granato. Should there be a celebration in the better play under the replacement coach? No. But there is nothing wrong in acknowledging the reality that a less talented team consistently has kept up against more talented team which didn't happen at the end of the prior coach's tenure. And as you stated it was exceptional goaltending by a young goalie that many people are unsure of that played at a high level and kept us in the game. That should be a reason for positivity. And it shouldn't be surprising that the team with more firepower outshot the team with less talented offensive players.
I have no issue with being positive about the play of UPL, my whole issue is the ' hard working' praise. It's unnecessary. But we are still losing the vast majority of our games and we have the 5 fewest points in the league.
When does this team learn to win?

It's the GM's job to field a quality roster , it's the coaches job to get the maximum production from that roster. We still need Adams to get the roster fixed before we look at the coach. We all knew this team couldn't win with our goaltending, no surprise there.
