Looking forward to seeing what they roll out. My biggest complaint (same with bills) is the length of lines and time spent waiting at concession stands. Sounds like they are aware and working on this major issue. Will be interesting to see how much these ideas improve that experience this season. Agreed on Delaware North. How long is their deal with Sabres and Keybank? Perhaps losing the Bills contract may be a wake up call and result in a better product for Sabres? Maybe just wishful thinking…

Wed before opener sounds good to me for draft.

Sabres Trade Ilya Lyubushkin to Anaheim for a 2025 4th Round Pick
Derrico replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Are we going to do anything with this extra cap space? -

When was the last time it mattered? When was the last time the playoffs became the expectation? -

Boosh only had one year left on his deal. Novikov won't be a factor for the Sabres this year. Let's hope Johnson is an upgrade. Really? Bryson looked like a tirefire liability all season. Stillman didn't look much better when he was dressed. -

I don't think Boosh was amazing or anything but if we see an injury or two I would feel better running him out there than Stillman/Bryson/more E Johnson minutes etc. -

Agreed. Feels like we finally had a bit of d depth and they make this trade? He’s getting paid more than anyone can dream to play hockey. This summer already feels like a huge missed opportunity to ensure the Sabres take the next step. This trade is the cherry on top… -

Does it really matter?

Maybe it’s recency bias but I’ll throw my hat in the Zach Benson ring. His vision is unreal. His battle and defensive game for his age is very good. Out of all the prospects it would surprise me least if he becomes a star.

Best Vacation Destination a Tank of Gas or Less from Buffalo
Derrico replied to JoeSchmoe's topic in The Aud Club
Love this area. The annual wine festival at Watkins Glenn racetrack is an awesome time. -
I just picked up tickets for the Friday night game against Montreal and Saturday night against Jersey. We should be icing a pretty exciting lineup. Looks like tickets go on sale tomorrow and early crack at them tonight for STH. $10 for general admission seating. Should be pretty good hockey and Harbour Center is always a nice venue for watching.

11 forwards and 7 defenseman lineup to start the season??

Agreed. That Quinn injury really sucks. -

I don’t think we should completely assume one of these rookies we have knocking at the door won’t make it. Maybe training camp rolls around and Savoie or Kulich show they belong (or Atleast 9 game look). That’s what I’m hoping. Dudacek had a good thread on projected arrivals of our prospects. I think many are thinking Kulich Savoie and maybe even benson will be ready for the Sabres next season. Not sure there’s room or we would want to break in 3 rookie forwards in one season (especially in another year from now with high expectations). Only if they prove they belong but I’m very open to one of the rookies making the team this year to help bolster a third scoring line. -
The easy low hanging fruit is goaltending. I'm as optimistic as any about Levi but history shows rookie goaltenders rarely put up good numbers in their first season. Pair that with the tire fire we had last year and Adams is playing with fire imo. So much invested in this young core and its borderline stunning that yet again Adams fails to substantially upgrade goaltending. I hope its not our achilles heel but its jumping off the page as an obvious concern.

I would rather not trade Mitts.

Very cool. Will definitely try and attend.
-
Right? This is almost getting stupid at this point. To have such a deep young team and rely on a rookie and….nothing behind him is crazy.

I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion because Peca was our heart and soul but I loved that Tim Connolly trade. Absolute shame he suffered the nasty concussions. He was an absolute wizard with the puck. Game 1 against the sens in 05/06 is my favorite Sabres game of all time and he was just so incredible when healthy, and in that game in particular.

Sabres Announce Brett Murray Signed to One Year Two Way Deal
Derrico replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Good. Now that we got this out of the way lets move on to Dahlin. -
I keep reading this but I don’t see that in the game logs based on time on ice. I will be up front and admit I have no idea Boston’s depth chart but Clifton rarely played 20 minutes or more per game even long before Orlov came. For reference Joker was our number 4 and he regularity played more than 20 minutes per game. Especially if Clifton can play on the PK as I’ve read on here, why was he rarely playing 20 minutes per game if he’s a second pairing penalty killer? https://www.rotowire.com/hockey/player/connor-clifton-5684 Joker for reference https://www.rotowire.com/hockey/player/henri-jokiharju-5426

Any idea when that may be? Will he be back before training camp?

Late to the party reading this but what the heck are you talking about? Neither Murray or Reilly will be on LTIR. Did something happen to Reilly I missed? I haven’t read any type of injury?
