Other than Georgiev, and his immediate family, I feel like most people would be happy with Adams for upgrading.

He's only on a PTO. And from the sounds of things they're not signing him. I'm not sure if the Sabres can outright offer him a contract while he's on the PTO, but I think any player is taking the guaranteed money.

The smarter play would be to just sign Reimer to a one year deal.

Not without a 2025-26 Ryan Miller.

I was thinking the same thing. On the flipside, we still haven't heard them skip two and a half minutes of gameplay to discuss what the colour guy had for dinner.

I feel like we can still have hope in Lyon.

I couldn't watch the game due to a late work meeting and getting my daughter to hockey. From the stats, and a couple of grainy highlights, it looks like we could have won this with actual NHL goaltending. Hopefully with UPL down, Lyon gets this job and keeps it.

He was bad with Colorado.

He's been really bad for a long time and his sample size of being good is really small. Let's find out if he's any good in ROC... No one else wanted him anyways.

The only way we make the playoffs is if Lyon is decent and Levi is good enough to play his way into the lineup. UPL and Georgiev makes the playoffs streak continuing a near certainty.

He's earned a look. Last year he was a +28- best on the team by far. Next closest D was Metsa at +15. Komorov was +7. In his first year he was also first on the team at +20. Metsa was next again at +15. Johnson was +5. If I'm him, I'm at the very least questioning my future in the org, given lesser players seem to be getting chances over me.

Meh-eh-eh-eh... Who cares.

The problem is, I don't see them anywhere close to giving him the Jeff Skinner goodbye. The time to do it was this offseason and instead they seem to be doubling down on telling us how awesome he is.

Unfortunately his contract isn't so expendable.

Bring in Novikov!

Lots of good suggestions, but for many reasons this has got to be the right answer. I would also play the outro when the players come on to salute the fans.

Count me in on the reservation.

I would have never guessed there'd be someone pushing for Peaches as a goal song, but this is something I could really get behind. Can you imagine 19000 fans doing the peaches chant?!?! Millions of peaches, Peaches for me. Millions of peaches, Peaches for free. Chills.

I haven't looked at the entire box score, but CBJ looks to have iced better players than us. Is that right?

I haven't watched the whole game, but I've noticed Quinn looking good a couple times.

I really hope Levi lights it up in training camp. By far he has the most upside out of the 4. He's paid his dues in the minors and has played pretty well for the most part. Hopefully he put the work in this summer and takes that next step this year. With the other three, I don't realistically see any of them being much above .900 even in a good year. At least not on this team.

I was looking forward to no Lafferty's or Lafferty+'s this year. I'd much rather play Tyson Kozak.

I'm not sure why. I'll give Adams credit on bringing in some good advanced stats guys in. Then there's this guy who I have no idea on what he was thinking. He does get a lot of defensive zone starts, but so did Malenstyn prior to us bringing him in and he didn't do jack last year.

This is funny but true.

Rightly or wrongly, I think he's figured out that pretty much anything he says comes back to be used against him. Better to keep his mouth shut. In the meantime, any little insight we get into the hockey ops workings of the team all show Terry's fully in command of the ship. Unlike with Adams, I'm quite certain Brandon Beane does not talk with him daily... Or if he did, Terry would not be providing any real input.
