Middlestadts best was 59.

I just disagree, I think it's a mirage since he's never been a good 2 way player until this year in his contract year no less. Again i don't think he's a bad player at all I just don't think for what he does he's worth the contract he's about to get. I agree nobody is touching Skinners contract so it's not even an option. I'd say 1 of our prospects and our 1st to get that top D but Adams has not shown at anytime that he will or wants to part with any of them even if they're all the same so a player who's in the last year of his deal makes a bit more sense if thats the case. Arent Savoie, Kulich and Östlund center prospects?

Agree to disagree then?

If we pay Casey Middlestadt then this team deserves all the criticism it gets on a yearly basis. Casey is a complimentary player, he will never produce 30 goals, jury is out that he can even score 20 in a season. I keep comparing him to Drew Stafford which I still think is a fair comparison, Drew was a good complimentary player but never should have recieved that 4M per year deal. Stafford eclipsed 20 goals 3 times and 1 30 goal season, all the other seasons were Middlestadtish 12 goals, here 15 goals there, you absolutely cannot pay Middlestadt say 5.5-6.5M it just doesn't make any sense. This right now would be the absolute perfect time toi ship out Casey for an established top 4 D man with our 1st round pick or a prospect like Savoie, we should not be even thinking of drafting a player with the 1st round pick whatsoever, this pick should be used to help bolster the core that our GM has given contracts to and Casey should not be in the core of players not because I think he's a bad player, he isn't but for reasons stated earlier above but that's just my opinion and the way it looks I may be in the minority on this.

We had to trade away hasek, didn't he want out because Nolan slept with his wife or something like that? Isnt that why Nolan was black balled from the NHL for so long? Ryan O'Reilly traded to St. Louis was the worst, yeah we got Tage but he went on to win a cup.

Oh No Ryan Johnson will surely be sent back down now after that Owen Power penalty.

There is an underrated name there, I love his game and he's been rumored in trades. I'd love Jenner on the Sabres for sure!

I don't think Tampa Bay would have any interest in this deal imo, he is one of their best 2 way forwards and they're vying for the playoffs. Dylan Cozens would be a massive downgrade just to save a few million bucks. Probably look to trade with a team ready to tear it down is the more realistic option.

This isn't EA sports, no free agent is coming here without being overpaid, we keep getting cast of head coaches like Krueger/Granato types instead of real ones like Berube/Gallant and we aren't getting teams best players for our scrubs and 2nd round picks.

The delusion is that we could get Markstrom for a trash defensemen and a 2nd round pick

You forget 1 major component, we have nowhere near a player of Elias Pettersson's caliber on this roster, some will argue Tage Thompson and maybe injuries are derailing his season but he's definitely not the same player he was last season so far.

He already has shown thats what he believes.... We have not made a trade, if we wait until the deadline the playoffs will be out of reach since they're almost out of reach at this stage unless we go on a major run like the Canucks but nothing in our game shows this is even possible or what to expect.

Adams keeps saying on WGR that he believes this will all work itself out, the man is completely clueless imo. Something is clearly not right when your entire roster aside from 2 players has regressed. He won't do a thing but if he was smart (hockey smart) which he doesn't appear to be then he'd trade Mittlestadt for a top 4 defensemen because there is no way in hell I'm giving that guy another 7+M contract for what he brings, he's a solid complimentary player but his value is never going to be higher than right now and if we truly want a top 4 Dman I think he's the player who can help get us 1, if it takes a Savoie or our 1st to help bring said player here then you throw that in as well depending on the player but Adams refusues to give up picks and prospects or mess with this core of players in general so it will be more of the same until this staff is let go unfortunately.

We're going with the all midget team.

Until we get a real head coach and staff in here this will be the norm. Granato is a good dude but isn't the caliber of HC that is going to get you a cup imo, the fact that Ellis is still on the staff after how abysmal this powerplay is speaks volumes about the coach and GM, how can you be serious about winning when you've literally not made 1 single change worth a damn other than a 4th liner like Eric Robinson.

Another Granato ***** show.

Someone explain to me why a guy (Okposo) is on our Power Play who has 8 goals on the season? That is our goal scorer when Skinner goes down?

Great, we have Okposo on the ice what seems like 42 minutes already and we wonder why we can't score.

Bensons our toughest Sabre

Granato sucks, I dont care what you guys say, we need a change this clown has them playing like ***** night in and night out.

That sucks…. I just lost power a few minutes ago but it came right back on, hopefully that’s not a sign of what’s coming. I hope the weather men are wrong like most times. Stay safe everyone!

Great to get the win but I really don't like the structure oif this team, they can never clear a puck out. I dunno it's a win I guess I'll try and enjoy it.

He would kick the ***** out of everyone not named Greenway so not sure who wants a piece of him.

GTFO with this Okposo on the powerplay *****, I really hope Granato is replaced, not a fan of this guy at all anymore.

Hopefully this is just the beginning for Tage!
