  1. Robinson has hands made by Lodge, but he certainly gives an honest effort very shift. What a friggin stupid penalty by Krebs. If your not going to contribute on offense, the least you can do is not take stupid penalties.
  2. Despite my obvious distain for the way KA has managed the team for the last two years, even I will admit he has received good value on his big moves. Mitts for Bryam, whether I agree with the premise of the trade or not, was very good value. Greenway for a 2nd is good value, Jack for a 1st, Tuch and Krebs is reasonable value. The only one we might argue, especially considering his growth as a player since he left, was Reinhart for Levi and a 1st. If Levi becomes the franchise goalie we hope, then even that's good value, but possibly two years two late since we have need a no. 1 goalie for 3 years.
  3. Do you really think Adams won’t re-sign Krebs and anoint him the 3c next season?
  4. Anchoring his own pair after they trade Power, because they won’t pay both Bryam and Power. What is Power worth in trade?
  5. I’ve been thinking about this question and ultimately it’s about bringing in the right vets. Where would the 05-07 teams be without Teppo, Grier, Lydman and Drury? They still have to have tread on the tire. They must fill an important role on the ice and don’t necessarily have to be leaders off the ice. Guys like Drury that change the culture of an organization are few and far between. The Sabres need better center play, better physical play, better D zone coverage, better coaching and better roster construction. Can a few vets fix all that?
  6. Comrie Levi, Levi Comrie? Playoff chase? Let me think? Levi!
  7. It’s not a great win? They have somehow climbed back into the playoff race. I think they’ll have to recall Levi for the last West Coast as he gives us a much better chance of winning over Comrie.
  8. Makes you wonder where this passion was the first 3/4 of the season.
  9. The addition of Bryam and the subtraction of KO and EJ have certainly helped the pace of play. Bryan more than anyone else. He plays an attacking style and he is dragging the rest of the roster with him. Mitts wasn’t an issue either way. He excelled last year when the pace of play was higher and he is doing fine with Colo’s up tempo game as well. VO looks better. Makes you wonder if DG gave him the RK doghouse treatment because DG was smart enough to utilize him properly.
  10. Who are they going to bring in to elevate the forward group and where will that person play? 8 of the top 9 are under contract and for unknown reasons DG & KA think Krebs is a good hockey player. They even think Girgensons is a "special" hockey player. When they re-sign Z and Robinson, that leaves exactly one forward spot open in the top 12 for next year. How is running back nearly the entire failing forward group "a meaningful" change? To make meaningful change you need to move on from Skinner and Krebs, find someone like Boone Jenner for the 3rd line center spot and bring in a playmaking wing (such as Zegras) to ignite the offense. That ain't happening. They won't move on from Skinner which means they won't have the money or a willingness to spend the assets to bring in any upgrades into the top 9. It's depressing. Remember their mantra, build from within.
