So who will still be on the board at 32?

Power, UPL, JJP, Quinn, Samuelsson and Krebs are our only waiver exempt players.

@LGR4GM I said Mitchell being back would be important. A healthy Milton also added a touchdown. Im not sure my heart can take another game like this one, but suspect the TCU will be a similar track meet.

Traffic is so f’d up in Atlanta that we can’t even get out of our parking deck. We are on the 9th floor of the deck and we haven’t moved in over an hour.

I’m honestly in shock. We thought we were done. Happy New Year!

Mitchell, Milton, and Ladd all healthy and ready.

I’m at dinner before the game and am getting nervous. That said I don’t see how OSU stops our TEs, especially with AD Mitchell back giving Stet an outside target.

Makes you wonder about OSU doesn’t it.

KA’s New Year’s resolution! Get the Sabres D help.

3 Stars - UPL, Tuch and Cozens

Now win in OT.

I think we have scored 3 on our 4 good opportunities.

Crazy goal

What a stupid play by Tnt after a good one.

Game over

Cozens needs 20lbs.

Tonights D pairings stink. Mule with Bush. Seriously?

Can we talk about Skinners poor passing.

Ok guys start playing.

Our kids need to make faster decisions with the puck in the D Zone.

Anderson has been our most consistent goalie this season.

UPL is trying to prove Comrie needs to stay in the A. How ironic would it be if the Sabres are the team trading away a goalie at the deadline.

Lol. I had to laugh when I saw the thread title. So the stats say he is a reasonable 3rd line C. I’m shocked. Ok not really.

A Dahlin Lyubushkin partnership would be awful and kind of proves my point. Bush is makes terrible decisions with the puck. Frankly he is Risto 2.0.

The problem with Dahlin vs Samuelsson is not an individual question. It’s a team question. Who is the no.1 2 way D if Dahlin is out? The answer is simple, 1st overall draftee Power. Who is the no.1 defensive D if Samuelsson is out? The answer is Jokiharju. What’s a better pairing Power Samuelsson or Dahlin Jokiharju? To meet the answer is simple Power/Samuelsson. Dahlin is one of the top 5 or 6 D in the NHL now and a legit Norris contender, but Buffalo is one of the few teams that could possibly survive losing a Norris contender for a period of time. Buffalo’s bigger D issue, is the falloff between the top 3 and everyone else. Losing any of the top 3 for significant period creates a hole our depth can’t reasonably fill. If we had a player like Jensen as the 2nd stay at home D, this wouldn’t even be a debate.
