Panarin on the trade block per local FAN radio report
GoPuckYourself replied to North Buffalo's topic in The Aud Club
Sad thing is you don’t even need a Hasek. Just shows how inept this regime has been with the lack of trying at the position. -

None of this matters we still don’t have a goalie. -
Please, we just got rid of contracts so Pegula could save more money, no way is he taking money to the cap ceiling that would mean he's trying!

What do we think of the Sabres defence corps?
GoPuckYourself replied to dudacek's topic in The Aud Club
Dahlin is a solid all around defensemen. Byram I wasn't impressed with, sometimes he looked like he could be on Dahlin's level and sometimes he looked like he belonged on the 3rd pairing, very inconsistent. I don't need every guy to throw around the body but I was wanting more. Power is good offensively but is terrible on defense, how can you be a defensemen and literally suck at the part that's in your job title? I'm not a fan at all. Micahel Kesselring seems like a great fit, since I didn't watch many Utah games at all I've been watching Youtube videos and he looks exactly what we needed, a big, rugged, hitting, fighting, stand up for your teammates, defensive defensemen. Samuelsson is definitely regressing, he should be what Kesselring is by now but he doesn't score, doesn't hit, doesn't fight, doesn't stick up for teammates, doesn't play defense well which makes him a perfect fit for what the Sabres are. Timmins is going on his 6th team now since 2019, he offers absolutely 0 offense, he's a plus player which is good, he seems to be a slight defensive upgrade from Clifton but it comes with the expense of hitting. Essentially everything I'm reading is that he's connor Clifton without the toughness or hitting so why didn't we just keep Jacob Bernard-Docker? We didn't do enough on defense imo, not even close. Samuelsson should be gone either by trade or buyout (Samuelsson should have been dealt along with a 2nd to Pittsburgh). This team operates like it's been to the Stanley Cup finals each season yet with only minimum upgrades. Why not go out and find the best 3rd pairing defensive defensmen to pair with Timmins and trade Samuelsson or buy him out? If Byram comes in at a bargain and we don't spend some money anywhere else then this was obviously just a cost cutting year again for Buffalo. My solution would be to trade Byram and get your top 6 forward and use our 1st (protected) next year and go out and get a guy like Rasmus Anderson (but sign him before he comes here) who from what I have seen and read is about the same player as Byram but I must say that -38 last year looks really nasty for Anderson, I don't know why his line was scored on so drastically but I think him paired with Dahlin would help out alot. -
The offseason so far - Are the Sabres better?
GoPuckYourself replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
It's clear we haven't gotten "better", we lost our 3rd leading point producer and so far have filled him in with Jack Quinn? Who for the most part last season was a liability on the ice. We also still have a huge issue in net, Adams is solely banking on UPL reverting back to that half a season where he was dominant but the fact of the matter is the only time he played like that was in a contract year, I'm not saying he can't return to that but not doing everything possible to get a true #1 in here (I like Alex Lyon but my fear is he's going to be our #1 goalie because UPL isn't good enough) is inexcussable even though you'll hear a bunch on here defend him and say he tried but nobody would waive their NMC. We did however get tougher to play against (it only took Adams year 5 to finally realize we need to get tough) with the additions of Kesselring & Doan plus drafting some big dudes which I've been waiting the Sabres to do basically since Lucic destroyed Miller and our gutless team did nothing. -
Connor Timmins filed for arbitration; Bo Byram did not

This does not bode well for Terry's Yacht upgrades. -
What ROC Americans are ready to move up?
GoPuckYourself replied to BigAl2526's topic in The Aud Club
I’d have to think the 3rd pairing LHD job and RHD job are up for grabs. -
Voices? Don’t talk back to them, they don’t like that.

I had no issues with Malenstyn’s play other than he doesn’t score much. He was high energy, good on puck battles, throwing his body around so no wonder Ruff doesn’t like him, he’s not a cream puff like Power. Also where are you getting this information from?
-
Perhaps but they’re never content. They get knocked out of the playoffs come back and trade for Miller, sign the big fish FA in Ehlers. The Sabres are going on 15 years no playoffs yet sign a backup to what should be a backup goalie, some players for the AHL and trade away our 3rd leading goal scorer to finally get tougher to play against in Adams 6th year. .
-
Carolina signs Ehlers. Must be nice!
-
Who is the player? I'm trying to think.. Timo Meir comes to mind but I doubt the Devils are trading him. I'm going from roster to roster trying to find realistic options and it's rough.
-
Yeah now that July 1st and no trade clauses kicked in we most definitely have no shot but before that he had no choice if i read that correctly.
-
I went with a bridge deal but the Sabres really screwed this 1 up if we could have landed Kyrou from St. Louis and Rasmus Anderson from Calgary. That would have been an upgrade to the offense and at worst the same player on defense. I wonder if there’s a forward out there who has NO, no movement clause that we can trade a conditional 1st and a 2nd in 2027 to.

I don't really care what he has to say any longer, show us the baby or gtfo.

He's got that deer in the headlights look.

Chad D: expect a Byram trade at or around the draft
GoPuckYourself replied to dudacek's topic in The Aud Club
More mismanagement by this regime. I find it hard to believe nobody is offering anything of significance other than futures for Byram. This guy is a 1 dimensional defenseman who only plays at a high level with Dahlin. The thing is Dahlin did fine even with lunkhead Samuelsson as his partner. Find a Dante Fabbro type player for Dahlin and trade Byram for a much needed top forward. If we go into the season as is there is no way you can tell me we got better without Peterka. -
Oh my Michael granlund got 3 year 7M AAV from Anaheim? Ehlers about to get 10M.
