https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/rochester-rookie-nikita-novikov-looks-like-special-sabres-defense-prospect/
The forwards get all the attention but I think people are really sleeping on the seasons that the 2 Russian Dmen have had. Novikov in the AHL and Komarov’s past 2 years in the Q.-

I would trade just about any prospect we have and have no issue trading our #11 overall pick.
The one guy I wouldn’t move right now is Wahlberg because his overall package is so different from anything else they have.
But the other top prospects and #11 are on the table for the right impact player.

You wonder why some of these guys don’t have credibility.
If true, either Berube said no to an interview or Adams just BSed everyone and only talked to Ruff.
Either way I don’t care but the larger optics aren’t great.

Does he try to get 2 wrs in the 2nd?
Take Mitchell and then use some of those obtained picks to move up and grab McConkey
or a Coleman a little later

I put Bob Cole and RJ on my hockey play by play Mount Rushmore.
Cole and Harry Neale were a fantastic pair.
RIP Mr Cole

I'd bet that Ottawa is talking to one or both of them as well and they might be more inclined to go there with that team roster more closely aligned with their philosophies. Adams would also not want to get into a bidding war or get used in a negotiation. Sabres aren't exactly in a good position to come out a winner in those.
Staios has different connections. Wouldn’t be surprised if it is the coach of the Marlies, Gruden.

Someone on this board said they heard there was a Rick Dudley sighting at the arena. Couldn’t figure out if they were joking or a source had told them that.
He would be a huge add to the organization if it was true.

That was the point. Why are we paying players that much to play in rochester. Also Comrie was there when we had the 3 headed monster until someone grew the balls to send Levi down. They are all ONE WAY Contracts..... i know, not my money, but seems like a waste to me.
Every team has these tweeners. They are NHL depth that can play when injuries occur over an 82 game season.
I don’t see it as egregious. The Marlies won a Calder Cup with a lineup that rivalled some NHL payrolls.

Adams needs to look at Rosen, Kulich, Östlund, and Savoie this offseason and decide which two he is keeping and then use the other two to improve the actual NHL roster while they are still young high end prospects. There is no future roster that makes sense with Tage, Quinn, JJP, Benson, Cozens, and then all 4 of the listed guys above. The time to make a decision on them is now, Östlund I could stand waiting a full NA year on before deciding anything but Kulich, Rosen, and Savoie we have a pretty good idea of what they are. The GM needs to project out who he wants and then package the spare to improve the actual NHL talent on the team. My pick is Rosen as a part of a package.
There is also Wahlberg coming who adds a completely different game compared to the others. Neuchev is really developing too.
They could move two of Kulich, Rosen, Savoie or Östlund and this year’s first pick and still be in good shape up front prospect wise.
You only move them for quality NHL players that fill real needs though.

I don't think all of them were truly interviewed. They wanted Ruff and got Ruff.
Yep. It was always going to be Ruff. And I’m fine with it.
If you decide this is the house you want to buy you don’t need to look at 30 more. Just put an offer in.
I didn’t see any of the other candidates as head and shoulders above Ruff. Berube and Gallant were the best alternatives and they each came with different warts as well.
Ruff could bring what they do but has the added Buffalo history aspect to the equation.
Pegula could be sold on him, Adams knows and can work with him and it gives some good PR to a fan base that is desperate for it.

I'm not going to stay up for it, but the third in the Avs/Jets game is likely to be good. The second period had some of the pace of the first game and now the Jets are down by two.
Georgiev has not been good but Hellebuyck has been equally bad so far this series.
Demko injured and Desmith has not been up to the task tonight so far against the Preds. Worst nightmare for a team when the franchise goalie goes down in Game 1 of the playoffs.

Georgiev doesn’t even look like he’s trying. Avs are going to have to score A LOT this series.

OK, coach is hired, vibes, accountability talk.
The real work needs to begin.
Step 1: Fill out the staff with quality NHL level coaches
Step 2: Identify what pieces Ruff feels are missing from the lineup. A checking line with some energy and grit is a must. Centre that can win key draws. Sounds like Lindy wants an enforcer type he can move in and out of the lineup.
Step 3: Adams needs to step up and get these pieces. Prospects and draft picks need to be on the table for quality NHL players
You can tell by Adams demeanour today that he knows his ass is over the fire and he better deliver.

So Adams just laid there and took it. I guess that’s how things work. Your boss pays you millions, you better learn to be emasculated and embarrassed on the reg.
What did you want him to do, punch Terry in the face and start screaming at him?

Vegas will be in a cap crunch. Chandler Stephenson would be a very good 2/3 C signing

At the deadline 2 names they were rumoured to be going after were Boone Jenner from the Jackets and Noah Cates from the Flyers

20 minutes ago, Pimlach said:No way did he do formal interviews of double digit guys in 6 days. How long were the interviews? Any follow up? He admitted he spent time on numerous calls with Lindy. If Lindy took multiple calls then why wouldn't some of the other candidates? If just 4 of the double digit choices are compelling choices then you are going into the next week.
Here is a scenario:
KA: "Hello Mr Gallant, this is Kevyn Adams GM for the Buffalo Sabres, your not interested in coaching the Sabres, are you?"
KA: "Oh, MAYBE?" "Thanks, I am just checking on it. Good Bye for now"
Hangs up, calls Terry.
"Hey Terry, I just talked to Gallant and he said maybe."
Terry: "Maybe? What else did he say? Nothing? Will if he doesn't want it move on, I heard he is a pain anyway." click
Ok, I jest. But I do not consider Adams to be credible anymore. Not until there is more follow through on roster improvements.
Imagine Gallant’s surprise when he logged into the Zoom interview and saw Berube, Boudreau, Woodcroft, McClellan, and Evason in the other windows 😁

Adams saying it is about winning games now seems to say his “can’t block the kids” is out the window.
I expect some more physicality brought in and a couple guys that resemble a true checking/shutdown line.

If they announce it is Marty Wilford staying on with the D rather than a James Patrick I think any goodwill is out the window for me.

I hope there is some entertaining questions being asked. 2 year deal is weird as if he is a stop gap... for what I don't know.
The guy is almost 65. I’m sure Terry is tired of paying coaches for not coaching them anymore. Nothing wrong with 2 years.
