True. But the future needs to start NOW. I'm not pissing away another year of Dahlin, Power on ELC, Quinn and Peterka on ELC etc because we are hoping and praying on a rookie goalie who couldn't beat out Sam Montembeault for Canadas IIHF bid. Don't get me wrong though. I friggen love the potential of Levi and voted no in this poll. No chance I'm trading him. However, they NEED to bring in a 1A/1B to play with him. I'm not putting all my hopes for this upcoming season (which could be special if things fall right) into a rookie goalie after watching the garbage we watched last year in net....

Right?! No way I’m paying that unless it’s for Helly with an extension in place. Levi and Helly for the foreseeable future would be worth it. Hart? Not even close.

I do. Our goaltending stunk.

Done. Thanks!!

Is it easy to pay to stream a single game? Wish we were going but didn’t work out this weekend.

Huge thumbs up to ur first point and thumbs down for your second.

Agreed. Hour after an edible and I’m ready to clean the entire house and look after other chores I’d been putting off. Everyone uses substances for various reasons and if you’re a prototypical lazy pot head then thats on the individual (perhaps they’re not using an appropriate strain). That’s not everyone though. The stigma around cannabis use in generally is thankfully changing. We still have a ways to go.

I have lived with chronic nerve pain for several years. I’ve been prescribed a number of pharmaceutical options including oxy. I hated the hard drugs and it came with a litany of side effects and other health concerns. My medical cannabis has helped with that nerve pain more than any other of the pharmaceutical concoctions they threw at me. Unfortunately you damn Yankees are still living in the draconian ages and I don’t get my medicine when crossing the border. I’m aware of all the sceptics out there. I also know this medicine allows me to function, run my own business, coach my boys sports teams and live a much more fulfilling life than I had been. To each their own I guess.

I would love to get Miller. Odds of either being available is probably slimmer then the suggested UFA guys signing with Buff. I would rather a big move like Miller and would give up a Rosen or maybe Östlund but unlikely it happens.

He just put up 29 points in 19 playoff games for the ice. He’s one of our top prospects. I, along with several others, think there is a legit shot he makes the Sabres in October. No chance he’s not ready to step in the lineup for Amerks. It would be a missed development opportunity if they dont give him any games. I’m guessing he plays by atleast game 3 regardless of how the series has gone.

I don’t see a downside in playing one of (or the) franchises top prospects in a huge AHL series. Agreed he probably should wait until Atleast game 3 and practise with the team. But too good of experience to not get him in the lineup. Again, this is our top friggen prospect.

Is the jump from whl to ahl really that large we don’t think a high end prospect like Savoie will give Amerks best shot to win?

Agreed. He just tore up the whl playoffs, high first round draft pick. Imo it’s in Savoie, Amerks and Sabres best interests to have him play

Does this push me to make the 4 hour drive next Saturday around the lake to watch live? Or do I just wait to see him at Sabres development camp in a month or two? I’ll get the Kulich, Rosen and Savoie experience going which may be worth it….

The leafs scored 2 goals or less in something like 7 straight playoff games. It was their scoring that let them down when the checking got tight.

Agreed. But if Levi doesn’t give them the best shot at winning Adam’s better be serious about upgrading our goaltending. If he gives Canada less of a shot to win then the Montreal Canadiens 1a/1b who just came off a season giving up 3.42 GAA then that’s not good of we’re relying on him for next year. It’s a May tourney so whatever. But I think it’s significant if Levi loses the job to Montembeault come elimination games. I’ve been banging hard on the drums how this team better not punt a season because they don’t address goaltending again. I have all the hope in the world for Levi down the road but I’m still concerned we’re relying too much on a 21 year old kid in 23/24.

That’s all you need.

Also just bought this year and also been dreaming of this since I was 10. We will have to meet up and grab a beer some intermission.

Right?! Trade goes down and my initial reaction is all we got is a late first and some guy drafted in the 7th round very recently? All that suffering during the horrendous 2013-14 season and all we have to show for it was a few years of watching a good (but not superstar) player and a late first and 7th rounder? Add Kulich slipping in the first as the other piece and looking like it’s going to set up a couple of possible cornerstones for several years. Early returns are WAY above expectation compared to my initial reaction. Another note that Jack trade is also looking pretty good as Tuch looks like a top line player for years to come considering his age and love for the city.

Congrats man!!

Feels like I’ve just been hitting the like and agree buttons for your post lately but this is exactly the way I see it as well. Varlamov would be a perfect 1A 1B guy too pair with Levi. This team is ready to fly. Just need the goaltending. I love Levi but man he’s young. This would be a perfect fit being a capable vet that can hopefully guide Levi and play 30+ games.

It shouldn’t be complicated. Matt Savoie should be a Buffalo Sabre next season.

Found my answer. Thanks guys.

Unbelievable run
