Selke candidate?

They're trying to get Quinn going

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

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.

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.

Are you actually serious with this take?

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.

Sign the man long term

Right? Connor mcdavid and oilers on the road and then the undefeated, legit presidents trophy threat flames on the road two nights later? They can beat anyone.

He’s our Afinogenov

Haha same.

It’s been 2.5 years but we’re finally back. Looking forward to watching a live Sabres game again. It’s been too long.

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 *****.

What the actual ***** kind of opening gdt is this??? Before midnight as well? Mods, for the life of Sabres mojo this season, delete this thread! EDIT - and ban PTR while you’re at it…

It use to be NHL Live but the rights are now with sportsnet. Check out the link below. If you get the highest level package all Sabres games should be available. https://nhllive.com/en/support/accounts-billing/account-management/important-changes-to-nhl-live-for-the-2022-2023-season

Yep. Was kind of hoping for Savoie to get a couple of games as a taste before going back but I understand it.

Who the ***** is Davies and where did he come from?

Missed last nights game so hope to catch some of this one That D. Barf

With Kulich being in Roch this year I would imagine he may get a game or two with Sabres around Christmas if he has a nice start down there

Thanks!! Any updates would be appreciated!

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.

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.

I’m really looking forward to seeing him in buff in a couple of years. Unpopular pick at the time as it was said to be a reach but this scouting staff deserves the benefit of the doubt. Early videos and analysis I’ve seen point to a guy that could be a great second line C down the road who can hopefully have the smarts and skill to play up and down the lineup where needed.

Between the renewed optimism with the team and covid easing to the point many Canadians will consider crossing the border again, I think we will see some nice crowds this year. They’ve convinced me to pick up 4 tickets for a game against the panthers in October. Whole extended family have tickets for when the leafs come to town in Feb also. Wouldn’t have considered going last year.
