One positive sign is the re-signing of Greenway.

I do find it interesting that many people here think that the forwards are more responsible for our team's bad defensive play than the inept "defensemen."

it's not done until @Brawndo says it's done (or the Sabres PR dept.).

The more Jordan can stay healthy the more he contributes. He is being paid to be physical, kill penalties and chip in some offense here and there. 3.5 seems fair for that type of contribution.

Sounds like a fair deal for both sides if true.

No, why? I live in Atlanta and don't really listen to GR in the morning.

Maybe Karmanos should be the GM for the Sabres as well.

i was talking about SJ.

My bad. Sorry!

It's hard to pick just one.

I thought that as well, but the defense on this team is so bad and UPL is back to his form of 2 years ago. Those two factors alone will keep this team from getting to hot and screwing up their bottom 4 finish.

Just think, they'll be adding someone like Misa or Schaefer to their roster after the draft. Feel better?

In a series, but in a one game exhibition with a hot Levi in goal?

New plan TP fires Adams and makes Karmanos interim GM. Karmanos trades the UFAs for a couple of 2nd rd picks and other junk. Terry then does an "overhaul" in the offseason hires Cammi Granato as GM with Ruff kicked upstairs as team President. Terry requires Cammi to keep Felton and Karmanos as her deputies. Adams remains with the team as Terry's personal valet.

One can only hope.

Here is the good news. I was worried that we'd miss out on a top 5 draft pick, but I think I can put those worries to rest. Our defensemen are the biggest problem with the team and that is saying something.

Zucker and Greenway are the only players on that list that matter. Both should have been re-signed by now, but aren’t. Just another reminder of the great Kevyn Adams.

Funny, I just traded a Iphone 12pro for a 16 pro. Needed a better camera for grandchild photos. (better battery life doesn't hurt either).

There are plenty of "rumors" regarding Byram, Cozens and Tuch, but the stories/rumors make pretty clear that Adams is rightly looking for a "hockey" trade for those assets. I don't blame him for looking for a hockey deal, but you can still sell players for futures and then move the futures for different players. It's much harder to get the pieces right, but we have plenty of ammo to make things work.

I don't disagree. I asked since the day Lindy was hired why he wasn't allowed to pick his own staff and why did he take the job under those circumstances. Wolford is a terrible coach. Ellis is a terrible coach. The only reason they still have jobs is TP is to cheap to fire them.

They are an issue, but the by far bigger issue is the D except Dahlin. They are positionally terrible, not physical enough, are giveaway machines, make terrible passes to clear the zone and often fail to clear the crease. Other than that, they are fine.

I don’t think Pegula would let Adams participate in such a deal.

The off-season really hinges on whether or not Adams returns. I’m not optimistic on the roster issues being addressed properly if Adams remains in charge.

The fanbase is pretty united in their thoughts on Terry, Adams and the team. I did find it interesting that the poll responders want a top 6 forward over improvements on defense. Considering the Sabres are 12th in GF, but 5th worst in GA, I’d say the priority is the defense. I also think that stay at home D might be easier and cheaper to acquire than a top 6 forward.

I agree with the idea of finding the right partner for any of our young D, but that D must have a complimentary skill set (read play defense) to maximize Byram/Power offensive skill set while mentoring the defensive side of the game.
