    They've been winning the last three months or regular season play.

    Part of the problem are the Bills. Sabres have always lagged in attendance while football is still on. If attendance still sucks in February with the Sabres in the hunt for the playoffs then this market isn't an NHL market anymore.

    Agree on bills but me thinks it will take more than 3 months (of which almost all of it came when they were already eliminated last year). We have suffered for 11 years straight!!

    I think they will be fine...that's why they got Pilut. Willing to bet he looks a lot better under Meatball's system than he did last time he was here.

    I think they got Pilut because he didn't want to play in Russia anymore (understandably).

    And proceeded to be a shell of himself in production for about 2 years. 

    Hope it's not like that at all 

    True.  The good news is Skinner is effective because of his skating and playing a skilled fast game.

    Maybe silver lining is Mule is not known for his speed at all but more using his size, strength and positioning to be an effective player. 

    Let's hope we can get him back sooner than later with no long-term impacts.

    Hate to say it, but what happens if Dahlin goes down? If I am going to move Quinn or Krebs, which I won’t be looking to do, it will be for a Chychrun level defenseman or I’ll get off the phone.

     

    What happens if tuch or Thompson go down?

    the Sabres arnt building to win it all this year. I hope they do great this season as well.  But you don’t trade your 20 year old reigning ahl rookie of the year who just put up near historic numbers to fill a whole for this season.  Sign another D in the off-season.

    I would listen to trades involving Quinn or Krebs for the right Dman. I know people may not like this, but I don’t see them breaking into this lineup. They are spare parts being wasted right now. Either that, or sent back down to Rochester. I can’t see any justification for Hinestroza sitting again. 

    Are you actually serious with this take?

    I'm wondering if last year's start wasn't a mirage but injuries and a very very shallow team made it unsustainable. 

    Agreed.  Although another year under Donny, another year experience for the Bryson’s and cozens of the world, adding power, JJP, Boosh and Comery sure don’t hurt either. 

     

    The amazing thing is the core is so young and doesn’t yet include any of our first rounders from last draft we were drooling over in the summer.  Fun time to be a Sabres fan.

    Interesting you mention that.  Granato said post-game specifically that they hadn't shown the guys any post-game video in the preseason because there was no point to it when it wasn't against NHLers.  But that they would be reviewing a lot of stuff from this game with everybody.

    I really like that.  Had to listen to the Ottawa feed and couldn't get over all the ballwashing how great the power play look and this guy and that in the preseason.  

    I'm like, man, it's preseason.  That don't mean *****.

    Donnie said stuff yesterday about "accelerating the development process" and a goal of this part of training camp being put the kids in a position to be the best versions of themselves before he starts making judgements. Rosen is being shown what it looks like to play on an NHL line, that he has the skill to keep up, and what he needs to do to make the jump.

    Rosen Quinn and Krebs are all being given an opportunity to see how good they can be.

    Separately, love the look of Quinn/Tuch/Krebs on paper and I've been calling for Peterka with Tage and Skinny all summer.

    Add in a VO Mitts and Cozens combo?

    I haven't bought in to the "Quinn or Peterka will have to be sent down because there's not room for both in the top 6" school because this team looks much more suited to wearing opponents down by rolling over 4 lines

    I honestly feel that’s what the best teams do. Some like TO are just so top heavy that you can really try and focus on shutting down that one or two lines.
     

    I want a team resembling 05-07 where you could really start rolling lines and get that secondary scoring.

    The last few years… There have been Jumbotron feeds with online streaming. Not every game. Just some. And sometimes you get the Jumbotron feeds and PxP from the opposing teams broadcasters. I long for the day where every single Sabres preseason game is at least streamed on sabres.com. We haven’t gotten there yet…

    We’ll it’s only 2022 what do you expect?  The nhl may realize one day the importance of drawing interest prior to the season starting.
