I'd prefer a player 24 to 27 to be honest, when considering 4 more years. I am hesitant to put stock in guys going in to their early/mid 30's, even skilled guys. Not to say all would fall off production wise on a serious scale, but the odds are not in favor of striking lightning.

You asked why, granted, not to myself, but I answered in any event. Tage could be called up and bust, Tage could not be called up and do a multitude of things in the AHL, Tage could...………...ah hell, you get the point.

Because players on the current roster are faltering a bit.

Tage looks great in the AHL.

This. They knew going in to the season this roster still needs subtraction and additions. Jack's play, for 10 mil, let's just say less than not impressive. Reinhart, where has he gone? And 5he list can go on, the point IS NOT that 5hey suck, etc, etc. No, the point is "consistency", specifically effort and learning from mistakes, neither of which is showing significant progress imo.

He knows how, but it's not up to him, it's up to bots. Need a couple of key pieces in the forward ranks.

Well there getting chances. Looks like the ole' unable to bury them bug has returned.

Hope they rebound and get their ***** together for tonight's game. Go Sabres!

lol, was that Joker?

Ralph should be screaming at them at the top of his lungs right now, asking "WTF was that"?

The blind passes have to stop, it's costing them. McCabe leaving his position in front of the net left that guy wide open. Dahlin on 2 goals, oof, got owned. Ullmark on that first goal. Players have bad games, it happens, but there is some very real "tells" in these Sabres game. For example, They have a real problem loosing puck battles and they aren't nearly as physical as their opponents, teams are catching on to this quickly. Since they can't appear to stick handle or dangle, or pass their way out of those situations, opponents take advantage. Whether that's player puck support or just inexperience remains to be seen, but right now, that's a problem. Lack of net front presence that dominates with consistency both in the offensive as well as the defensive zone. It's an issue. If you notice, the Sabres don't use actual player cycling movement very often, they are often standing around, and it shows. There is a lot of work to do yet for the coaching staff, just some of my takes on what I am seeing game in and game out, even in the wins.

He doesn't suck, but he's a definite contributing factor to the team's poor performance. Why continue to submit him to that when he can go down and work confidence in to an obviously very weak defensive game.

It's only going to get worse for the Sabres following tonight, the Islanders then Sweden then the schedule really bears down on them.

Are you catfishing us? ? He has made multiple devastating defensive decisions game after game. He's clearly not ready yet.

I just want him to become a complete d man. We know he can't pot points, but defensively he's a disaster.

I just don't want him ruined.

I don't care what anybody says, Dahlin needs to go to the AHL. Game after game of major gaffes, he's clearly not ready.

Well, we got the wins early this season I guess. Still can't seem to run with too teams, so far.

Do we really need another 1st OA pick next year?

Yes Please. Fire up the Bots signal.

It's ok to be concerned, just don't PANIC! ?

Well, to bad they couldn't put some of those chances away. Hutton gave them plenty to keep them in it. But, a point is a point, I'll take it. My primary concern remains the secondary scoring. It's just disappears for way to long of stretches. I'm not advocating for a shake up on that bottom 6, but, if this remains the norm through November in to December I would like to see Bots make some roster adjustments. Tage is tearing it up in Rochester, I have to wonder if he is one of those changes. Just thoughts running through my mind is all. Go Sabres!

Missing the game for class ?

Just fight, and WIN NB. We have many Sabres seasons yet to celebrate. And of course...…………………..GO NORTH BUFFALO! GO SABRES!!

So what is available out there for a top 6 RW'er?
