Lol 3-1 Hawks with 8 minutes left

Yes Graves is a UFA this summer.

The past week with the season on the line UPL and Comrie weren’t even options especially on back to back nights.That tells me all I need to know about what they think of them for next year. I love the position this team is in for next year. Everyone knows what they need. Two solid D men and a solid vet 1B goalie. They have the cap space and assets to address these needs. They need to have the offseason the Devils had last year. Brought in Vanacek, Graves (Ibelieve he was last offseason) and Marino and took a giant step this season.

Livingstone and Polin signed a couple weeks ago. Quinnipiac have some interesting guys: - goalie Perets -small dman Metsa -scoring winger Graf - Brindamour’s son is not signing with Edmonton

It was one game but his skating was quite noticeable. He couldn’t stay on his feet either. I’m not saying he is a bust at all. Just saying he looked nowhere ready to step into a playoff lineup.

Leafs are bringing guys from Canadian universities and junior teams to be backups because they don’t have enough money to have real backups. 😂 All so they could sign Knies who looked just brutal last night. Really has to work on his skating to keep up in the NHL.

They don’t need more draft picks. The pick would be added on to the end of the 2nd round of the 2024 draft so essentially a 3rd round pick. Why would they value that?

I imagine Luke Hughes makes his debut for the Devils tonight. If that is the case then I suggest they pressure him because he Loves to give up the puck.😀

Did you write this yourself? Tip of the 🎩 it reads like a professional article. Thanks for the update.

It is more likely Adams was probably trying to convince him to the benefits of an AHL playoff run. That was what the zoom meeting was. His options are sign an NHL deal, maybe get a game to end the year and burn a season of ELC. Adams probably hoping he signs an ATO, joins the Amerks for the playoffs and starts his ELC next season. If he didn’t want to sign I think his agent/advisor just sends a message saying he is going to explore free agency.

Forgot to mention that Greenway has another good game. Couple big hits. Almost scored, very responsible defensively. Since coming back from being out a few games he has really started to look like his old self. Donny’s track record is very good at getting his players to take a step and I fully expect Greenway to do so next season.

He doesn’t make mistakes in his own end and has exceptional positioning. Again he is good at what he does.

Why are people saying he is not good? Some people are conditioned that if they tune into a game and a dman isn’t going end to end with 59 points then he is not good. What the Sabres desperately need is a couple dmen that are solid in their own zone. That is what Johnson is. Not flashy but does his job well.

Watched the Rangers feed. Announcers were really complimentary of the Sabres. Really good things to say about Dahlin And Power. They were fawning over Levi by the end. Great to see Mitts on this run. No way they move him. Dahlin, Power And Mitts get extensions this summer. Both goalies were lights out tonight. I don’t know if Buffalo trusts anyone but Levi in net until they are eliminated.

Stop positioning your personal opinion as fact. There is no indication the Sabres aren’t interested. The pick would be at the end of the 2024 2nd round so really a 3rd round pick. They should sign Johnson. He is a good defensive dman. Something they need more of.

Levi starting again. There is no way they are coming back with UPL and Comrie next year. Trade UPL, put. Comrie on waivers if need be. Sign a vet free agent as a security blanket for Levi.

😀

Good work. I predict Richard makes a big jump next year. Kid has natural ability and size.

Watched Quentin Musty. 6’2 winger who is very talented with the puck on his stick both distributing and scoring. Really took off after a coaching change in Sudbury. Being a Buffalo kid I have to believe he will be in the Sabres wheelhouse if he is there when their pick comes up. Where he is ranked come the draft will be interesting. I have seen some rankings that have him at the back of the first, others outside the first but his game really came on the second half and guys with his size and talent don’t grow on trees. I think he will be a riser come final rankings.

Hat to see you with a facial wound but he is. As a young player he does throw it away under pressure but he is one of the best passers on the team in relation to finding open players for opportunities in the offensive end.

Just ignore him. He’s trolling. He has no idea what Johnson’s roll is or how goods a player he is. The coach didn’t put his best line or best d pair on the ice to start OT. Coach’s decision and it backfired.

Ryan Johnson SHOULD have been on the ice to start OT but he wasn’t.

Chatter that both Dahlin And Power get extensions this summer. I would get Power locked up as soon as possible. Before he puts on another 15 pounds of muscle and goes beast mode.😀

Quinnipiac stun Minnesota 10 seconds into OT. Minnesota has a 2-1 lead and completely shut down in the 3rd. Shots were like 15-2. Quinnipiac pulled the goalie and finally scored after all the pressure. Really surprised how much of a non factor Cooley was in the game for Minnesota.
