Flashsabre

Winnipeg Ice storm back to win 7-6. Savoie with a goal and an assist. The thing with Winnipeg is their offence is so spread out. No one racks up 4 or 5 points a night. There are a ton of guys with 1 or 2 points. One aspect of Savoie’s game that isn’t talked about is how strong he is at faceoffs.

Another night wheee everything is going against the Sabres in the ice.

Portillo is probably thrown into the deal.

Can you tell your source to tell Adams to grab Lawson Crouse as well. Thanks😁

I think Kane needs surgery. He is playing through something. I wonder if a team trades for him for a playoff run how much will they be getting.

This week couldn’t be going any worse on the ice for the Sabres😔

I think Cozens is a player who we see his best game when he is in the playoffs. He plays the game the way you want and his attitude is top notch. A cornerstone player you build your core with.

You guys have no idea how many kids from Whitehorse grow up dreaming of playing in Toronto😛 Adams, Karmanos, Ventura and crew really believe in betting on their guys and signing them to big deals early that are risks but have the potential to be homeruns. We are getting Tage and Cozens best years of their careers for a combined $14.3 million a year. Really interested to see where Dahlin’s deal comes in at.

Kulich will be a player too. The kid has the heart of a warrior.

On the Sportsnet panel they had a hypothetical trade they were discussing: Van sends Quinn Hughes to NJ for Nemec, Mercer and a conditional 1st. The Devils having all 3 Hughes brothers would be a major marketing tool. Canucks would get 3 very good pieces. Interesting idea.

Boy does Savoie give off major Briere vibes😀

Someone check on Paul Hamilton stat.😂

The BeanPot starts tonight. Levi plays BU at 8pm. Game is on NESN.

George Costanza: “I think I’ve found a way for the Sabres to get Meier, Karlsson, Chychrun and Demko and surprisingly it won’t cost too much.”😀

Sabres have no D prospects, none.😛

I heard from a source that the Sabres first owner, George Santos, was returning to takeover the team. Take it with a grain of salt though.😛

Good for him. His development has been the nicest surprise this season.

From 32 Thoughts: "10. As part of reshaping their franchise, San Jose is asking about goaltending prospects. They drafted OHL Sarnia’s Benjamin Gaudreau 81st overall in 2021. He was the backup on Canada’s recent World Junior gold medallists, but the Sharks seek to add more depth." You could let the Sharks talk to Portillo's camp and see if there was interest. Or at the least throw him in as a piece on a potential trade and let them figure it out after the fact.

I don’t know if this has been posted. It was recorded a little while ago (Dreger says Sabres are 6 points out of a wildcard spot). No bombshells but a really good listen about Adam’s mindset and such.

I don’t want to see a bad move for a rental BUT this is the first time in 11 years that the Sabres are looking a playoff spot in the face after the new year. I would like a smart trade made that not only helps the team but shows the players and the fans that the organization is serious. It doesn’t need to be Chychrun or Meier per say, but a player that could come in and be a part of the present and future runs.

Meier beside Cozens would be great. The cost to acquire him and more importantly the financial cost to keep him are the problems. As many have mentioned in a salary cap world you can only have so many guys making the big bucks. Tage, Skinner, Cozens, Dahlin, Power all have or will have contracts over $7 million. $8-9 for Meier will be hard to fit in long term.

I have seen in 3 or 4 different place people calling for Sabres to trade for Brock Boeser. My question is Why? I have never watched him play and come away impressed at all.

I would not want to see Levi, Savoie or Kulich moved. Outside of that anyone is expendable in the right deal.

And for all the complaining about Petersen, he flamed out in LA.
