What? Lol We're discussing adding a defenseman that checks some boxes on positional need, affordability, style of play, both long and short term ROI benefits analysis and the cost to acquire such. What I don't see is your vision of fans on this site with pitchforks and lit torches foaming at the mouth marching to Adam's door demanding this player lol. I mean, you actually attempt to call people out as over reactionaries by.....wait for it.....over reacting LOL. I get a chuckle out of that, I truly do.

I respectfully disagree with your understanding of what this team is. Furthermore, I disagree with your view of a potential deal for Chychrun, given defense is identified as in need of an upgrade.

I understand, but we weren't playing meaningful games this far in to a season. Context matters here, imo.

It's a tough call actually, at least from my view, as a fan. Chychruns injury history isn't that terrible, but I have concerns, however, his contract and play fit in nicely here. I guess to me, the push for a playoff spot would be the piece that tilts the scales. We are in position, and if for no other reason, to give the players an addition to help that push along. They're playing meaningful games past January, something this organization hasn't done, at least outside of the rarity, for over a decade. When your Norris caliber defenseman writes a letter, or at least attaches his name to one, that asks fans to fill the seats in essence, you make the move. The loss of assets isn't going to make or break the process......again, imho.

Well, that's that, now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Wouldn't it be nice if Adam's has seen enough. I'm not hopeful, but hey, ya never know.

This road trip will define what, if anything, Adam's does I'm guessing. They ***** the bed, no reason to spend assets, they go 50/50, maybe get them a D plug for the 5/6 pair, they take 80% or more of the available points, this is where it will get tricky for Adam's, a damned if you do, damned if you don't moment I'd surmise. While the company line is that this season doesn't matter, it's a "growth" season, if the team is in a position to play in the hunt down to the wire, a part of "growth" is watching as moves are made to help the team in their hunt, imho.

Bryson is a puzzling decision to be sure. I have to believe Adam's and company are well aware of the defense deficiencies and are actively pursuing all avenues to address it.

I believe he did post 4 - 7, and while not precise, with a score like that, close is good enough. Youth has very little to do with there "consistent" home games performance, as their road record indicates.

And good night Irene. The home woes continue for the Buffalo Sabres. Just completely unknown as to why they are so bad in their own barn.

You must have missed the 1st period of the Carolina game.

I went to the Carolina game after Dahlins letter to fans. My suggestion......get your pen out kid, remind us again how y'all feel the crowd when the house is packed. Cause right now, my mood ring is telling me I don't think that crowd is feeling any kind of good.

It's a home game.....expect the worst, hope for the best 🤣

TNT!!!!!!! That shot is da BOMB......

Come on boys!!!

Yikes. A 1st? Don't do it Adams.

Isn't Tommydangles MagicMike's cousin?

That's actually a better reason then self flatuation I reckon 🤣

I have 3 apps running nearly 24/7 on my phone. TwoBillsDrive, not a member, but review Bills news and chuckle at the posts HFBoards, I'm a hockey fanatic, I keep the the Trade & Rumors section on speed dial for any incoming details NHL wide and to chuckle at some of the ideas. Sabrespace, because I'm a Sabres extremist and if I'm not getting my hourly fix, like an addiction I'm going through withdrawals. Plus, I feel a kindred bond to everyone here, we all share the same passion, and I'm grateful for the humor, the convo's, the different view points of our shared passion, but especially the humor, because the hockey Gods know, as Sabres faithful, we need it.

👍 Agreed.

You stopped by PA's today to check on him, didn't you .....

Meh, Rangers gonna Ranger I guess.

Have 2 daughters, 25, 18. I'm not a Helicoptor Parent, I'm an Apache 64D Longbow Dad.

That would be a needs orientated pick up. I prefer a defenceman over a forward, but wouldn't be opposed to an affordable boards & body banger brought in as well. In any case, nice to hear Adam's and company are active. Thank you for the update.
