  1. https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/after-trade-vsevolod-komarov-cements-status-as-one-of-sabres-top-prospects/ Nice write up on the forgotten prospect. Already a Memorial Cup Champ, top dman in the Q this season on the top team in the league. His skating has improved but still needs polishing. Everything else is exactly what you would want in a dman. A Novikov-Komarov 3rd pairing in 2-3 years would be really nice
  2. Second best age 19 or less PPG season for Savoie in the last dozen years in the WHL behind Bedard’s season. Heck of a run for him. Hopefully the make it to the Memorial Cup.
  3. More than anything I would love to believe they are on their last legs but I can’t see a scenario where Adams is fired. He’s the guy Terry trusts who has worked his way up and gained Terry’s ear and trust. Terry doesn’t trust NHL people anymore. And I can’t see him eating a year extension on Granato. Everything they have been doing seems to indicate cutting corners and saving $$$.
  4. Adams is Terry’s right hand man. Donny has a 3 year extension. They aren’t sweating at all. This is all part of “the process” that KA will spin to Terry.
  5. Watched Michigan St beat Michigan in OT. Levshunov is a Stud. Strabek looked really good too. Let him cook a little more and they might have something in him. Watched London play as well. Dickinson is a Stud too. I like him and Levshunov better than the point producers in Biuim and Parekth.
  6. Nope. Adams said it himself. They are going with the kids. Got to save money. Results be damned.
  7. From Reddit Sabres. Down 5-3, on the PP, season on the line, coach calls a timeout and…..nothing. No fiery pep talk, no board out for strategy. This was a disgrace. This clip basically tells the entire story of where this organization is right now.🤬
  8. I’m literally at the point right now where I’m just logging in each day hoping to see a title that reads “Developing Story, Terry Pegula selling the Sabres to….” Where is that guy that said someone in the Sabres front office said he might sell to the Wegman family. I am thoroughly convinced that nothing changes until Terry is gone. This organization is dying for successful veteran NHL people in positions of power in the organization but it will. Never happen under Terry and we are bound for 13 more years of this garbage.

  10. Adams does whatever Pegula wants him to. He manages the team for Terry. He is just a yes man lapdog at this point. He is not a GM allowed to do what he wants or thinks is best.Watch the draft Blue and Gold where he is at the draft table on the phone with Terry telling him everything they are trying to do like a little kid looking for approval from their dad. Notice how they have never been a 3rd party broker for a deal to gain an asset. There is a strict budget he has to follow.
  11. I just can’t imagine being Terry Pegula and owning a team for 13 years and failing to qualify for the playoffs one time. I’d be too embarrassed to leave my house. My son is 12 and has never seen a playoff game.
  12. Adams is nothing more than a yes man for Pegula that follows whatever he is told to do. Anyone who thinks he is not under an internal cap is fooling themselves. That coaching staff is ECHL level at best. They will keep everybody and insert a couple young kids to keep costs down. Then be perplexed why it is 14 years no playoffs and 6000 people in the stands.
  13. This is why we are in this mess. The league suggested both Murray and Botterill and Pegula now doesn’t trust any hockey people so refuses to bring in qualified hockey people. Its an absolute joke at this point. I think that new COO they brought in is in for a really rude awakening with ticket sales for next season. Id rather see this to end the season though than missing by a point again and convincing themselves that running it back is the right move.
  14. Do I think Granato is a bad coach, no. Would I like to see a new staff for next year, yes. The issue is not replacing Granato it is who would be replacing him. The team needs a proven, vet NHL coaching staff that demands respect and have proven how to win at the NHL level. Replacing Granato with Seth Appert isn’t a step forward. And looking at Pegula’s history as owner that is the type of move I would expect.
  15. 🤬 At the very least Granato’s assistants need to be turfed. A PP specialist and I would like to see a great former dman to come in and work with all these great young dmen. Gonchar and Foote have worked wonders with Vancouver.
  16. Neuchev is a forgotten but talented prospect for the Sabres.
  17. They are not good enough to get in.
  18. Have the Hornets been terrible on the business side? This guy has nothing to do with on the court results or now on the field and on the ice results. He is strictly business side.
  19. Krebs will either step up at centre or a kid like Savoie or Östlund will get a chance or you use a combination of your surplus of young forward players and prospects: Krebs, Savoie, Kulich, Östlund, Rosen, Wahlberg, 2024 1st round pick to acquire a guy that can fill the spot. All those guys won’t be able to play in the lineup so some are assets you use to fill in holes.
