And if it comes down to which teams want it the most, I actually am getting that feeling (for the first time in a while) that the Sabres actually want it.

Which 5 are you referring to? EDIT: I figured you meant UPL

Look, it’s a real NHL goalie on the Sabres

With the seemingly positive developments recently as far as how the team has been put together, I'm becoming more and more hopeful that Adams is now in a position where such a stupid decision could be "vetoed."

I understand not getting over our skis about Ellis, but the critiques some of you guys are making are laughable. He had some rebounds? Have you ever watched top-tier goaltenders before? They give up some rebounds, too! My word! Granted, we need to see much more. But a debut performance with a .92-something S% is as good as you're going to see.

The Lindy Ruff Sabres 🏆

Not sure if everyone here is watching the TNT feed? "Outstanding goaltending in his NHL debut from Ellis"

The Lindy Ruff Sabres. Maybe they did just need a full camp?

They just need to hit the net when they get the chance. At this point, it's a numbers game, and it's looking like we could win that game in many circumstances.

Yes but no

I don't think Power gets us a top 6 forward + an NHL defender in any universe And I'm someone who thinks Power could be a major force on this team when he reaches his peak. The only way I would be happy with trading him would be if it really helps us "win now." Are we one Owen Power trade away from that threshold? I don't think so. [Edit: I think we might be able to win a little bit now—not ruling out playoffs—but I'm not sure if trading him is the clincher] I would also think the "win now" would be the only incentive for the people actually making this decision. I would put money on watching Owen Power turn into a really good player, and I would regret seeing him do that on another team.

They were in it until the end. A new feeling that they could actually score with the goalie pulled. And always still enjoying things like Razor using the word "whereabouts" instead of "wherewithal"

I have this bad feeling that even if the Sabres dominate for the rest of the game, Shesterkin is going to steal it for the Rangers.

I actually saw the reply of the play in question. I personally chalked it up to “miscommunication—that’s what preseason is for.” Suffice to say, I’m optimistic to a flaw…

How did Georgiev look? Looks like he had some great saves but largely was hung out to dry?
