I mean if all of them had a mean streak I’d say it would matter but Power, Samuelsson, Byram and Timmons (from what I read) are all cupcakes. The bottom tier haven’t made it to the NHL yet so until they do I won’t get excited about them. The fact that they keep bringing up Bryson over Novikov is a bit concerning also, is he still not ready yet? He can’t beat out an average player like Bryson?

Unless Levi turns into Hasek this season there is no savior, we've had scoring but we've never had it with solid defensive play. Just adding Kesselring isn't going to improve the defense so much that it puts us over the top imo. We needed to go big or go home defensively and we ***** the bed again! It's more doom and gloom in my eyes unfortunately, I'll watch until it's unwatchable once again which seems to be the life of a Sabres fan.

Adams makes no sense at all, he tries to upgrade the defense by getting tougher and by getting more on the defensive side yet does nothing to actually improve at goalie, he picks up a backup journeyman to go along with what should be our backup goalie in UPL. This season will most likely be over in November like usual.

Get a goaltender that is worth a damn, the 2 we have are backups. If Levi is ready get him in there but it didn’t look like it last season.

I haven't been able to watch full games (don't know where to find them) but there's some decent highlight videos and he seems to be a solid front of the net presence and a hustler, always seems to be hustling his way to the net.

I see some similarities this past season to Timo Meir or however you spelling freaks will call me out on it lol. He has power forward type of size/ traits and just started throwing the body around from what I read this past season in particular. If that’s the case we just got exactly what many of us have been clamoring for in quite some time.

I can’t even believe people believe this. He didn’t want to play here it had nothing to do with cap, there will be plenty more to follow if we continue our losing ways which I suspect will happen this year.

He was wrestling in the 80’s and 90’s. I was genuinely saddened to hear he passed away.

Yes this is the worst, we have 2 backups on any other team starting for us.

I saw Ozzy for the No More Tears tour with Sepultura and Alice in Chains, Max Cavalera was ill so Sepultura never showed but Layne Staley played in a Wheelchair and had a broken leg, he was incredible and was the star of the show at least imo but Ozzy was awesome also. I also saw hom at the Merry Mayhem show with Rob Zombie and Mudvayne, that show was a blast, Ozzy was on the big screen as different characters, one of his characters was Miss Cleo (the fortune teller woman back in the 90's who ripped people off), I was laughing so hard, partly do to all the drugs in the air and it was really well done. The costumes Rob Zombie and his crew had on were unbelievable, they came out on stilts and all different types of crazy monsters/space aliens, it was wild. I think that was Mudvayne 1st actually tour show so I really liked them and became 1 of my favorite bands for sure. Nothing but good experiences at those shows!

It’s the built in excuse they can keep using every year.

I saw it but he’s including him as an offensive option, he had 15 points in 30 games and who is he taking the place of? As I said where does he fit?

So he's Josh Doan without the physicality? Why do we want this player and in no way shape or form is he a top 6 player correct? So where does he fit here?

Possibly could it be that this franchise hasn’t made the playoffs in 14 years? Instead of doing a house cleaning of the front office they fire a strength & conditioning coach. They trade away our 2nd leading goal scorer/3rd leading point producer in Peterka and replace him with somebody on the roster who hasn’t put up those numbers. Oh and we had a huge problem with defense and goaltending so we got 1 defensemen and another backup goalie so now we have 2 backup goalies about to start the season. I think at this point you shouldn’t be asking people to why we care about trades and preseason but why do we care about this team at all?
