We are discussing this in another thread. They edited that to now read “who missed Tuesday’s game”

Looks like they went back and edited it out. They changed “out for the season” to “missed Tuesday’s game”

No where in this article does it say he is out for the season. Here is the blurb on Muel: “Byram isn't the only Sabres defenceman out there. Mattias Samuelsson, who missed Tuesday's game, is as well. He is signed at a $4.285 million deal through 2029-30. The Sabres have a lot on the table to consider, but the feeling is that if they could move Samuelsson, they could turn around and re-sign Byram instead of trading him. It might be a one or the other situation.”

Yep. Adams has lied through his teeth for a few years saying that there are no financial restrictions when everything points to the opposite being true. Be very interesting to see if they try to keep this charade going while the cap rises over the next couple years.

Because firing Wilford would mean they would have to pay another salary to the new D coach. The fact Ruff wasn’t allowed to bring in a single coach with him speaks volumes.

Would you trade Quinn+ a small add for Zegras with the plan that Zegras plays at. Centre. Zegras like Cozens has struggled for 2 years now. The Ducks play him as a wing while I think he is much better as a centre while the opposite is true if Cozens. I know Zegras isn’t the gritty type Sabres fans want but his playmaking would be an asset for all the shooters. I would then move Cozens for a top 4 RHD for Power. And to be clear I’m not advocating for this trade, just putting the idea out there for discussion as the team needs a playmaking centre.

Leafs want to move Knies for Cozens I’d do that deal but otherwise no thanks. Detroit would probably be Kasper. Flames maybe Zary. They won’t move Anderson or Weegar with them being in a playoff spot. Habs, don’t know.

If we really want to go conspiracy theory: the building in the back is Delaware North, the company owned by the Jacob’s family. There was that rumor earlier that the Jacobs family was looking for a way to buy the Sabres😝

LOL this board is as broken as the team. The fight wasn’t good enough, the win wasn’t good enough, even if by miracle they made the playoffs they would just lose in the first round.😁 They got their 4th win in a row, this one without their star forward and number 1 goalie. I enjoyed the game. Being happy with a win doesn’t mean you are happy with the franchise. There are a lot of issues that need to be fixed and it starts with Pegula and Adams.

Someone on the ice should have went over and dropped the gloves with Noesen. The result of the fight is irrelevant. Just show up and stand up for your teammates. Do the Sabres need a Matt Rempe? Play sometimes on the 4th line and be an enforcer? The fanbase at large would appreciate it.

Good write up. Bear would be a fan favorite for sure. Misa and Bear are 2 choices I would love depending on where the Sabres draft. McQueen might be another Cayden Lindstrom. Back injuries are very scary.

https://ohlprospects.blogspot.com/2025/02/midseason-top-50-for-2025-nhl-draft.html?m=1 Brock does a great job covering draft prospects playing in the OHL. This is a good read. Big year for the OHL with 3 of the top 4 picks likely coming from there.

McLeod has been a good pickup. A really solid 3C

Funny to see Mittestadt on trade boards. Guess it’s not working in Colorado. Many didn’t want him moved. Would you want him back? We do need a centreman, one with playmaking ability.

I hope they give him a real shot. Play him with Kulich as they are best friends and have great chemistry. If he plays 4th line and gets 4 shifts then there is no point

Do the Sabres send Kulich down for the AHL playoffs? Amerks are loaded for a real run. Let him finish the season in Buffalo and then return him for a long playoff run would be the smart play.

Yeah my bad I forgot that the NHL/PA are running this tournament.

Where was Gilbert? He’s not there for his skill. That’s his job. Guess the game was too close to allow him out. Next game against NJ they better step up with a response.

Noesen is a piece of garbage. Someone needed to confront him. This team has too much talent to be where they are in the standings.

Hold on they haven’t won this game yet and this is exactly the type of game they collapse In. Desnoyers and Jake O’Brien are two interesting centres as well.
