I have a feeling this is the only year they do this decentralized draft. Bettman is not for it and some of the teams are already regretting it,

“The Expansion Seattle PWHL team has named John Tortorella as their first head coach.”

This is where Jarmo would come in. Adams is so obsessed with Levi being the answer that he can’t see any other option. Hopefully Jarmo can shake it up a bit in that front office. Ive always liked Vladar but he’s never taken that step I thought he would.

Trade the pick, Martin, Bear or McQueen are all decent outcomes for me.

I’m not following this thread. Do people want Torts back as associate coach or as part of the front office or something?

I think they need to do something new in net. I would have loved to sign Freddy Andersen but Carolina reupped him. I would role the dice on Demko for a year or see if Gibson is still available (not sure with Quenville there now). But UPL-Levi or UPL Reimer like backup is a non starter for me.

Could we order a Gavrikov and an Ekblad?😁 Fabbro is probably a realistic option

Something tells me we have not heard the last of the Elias Pettersson to Buffalo rumors leading up to July 1st when his NMC kicks in.. EP40+Demko for Norris+UPL? Norris is one of Quinn Hughes best friends and Vancouver would want a centre back. Add in Byram and Hronek and make it a good old fashioned crazy blockbuster to shake things up. A Jarmo influenced deal😝 I don’t think it will happen but I do think we will here EP40 linked to Buffalo again as the July 1st deadline nears.

Kevyn: “Jarmo, if say one wanted to hypothetically acquire a top 4 RHD and a starting goalie how would one hypothetically go about that?”😁

JFC this is about to go completely south and I can’t think of anyone I would want overseeing this less than Adams. And part of me wants to see a complete implosion since this is what Terry deserves.

Demko, Gibson, just something different at this point.

Anyone have a flux capacitor lying around? I’d like to go back to 2017 for a moment😁

Dreger says Marner is gone and there is mutual interest with Vegas. That means a lot of salary out the door for the Knights. Go make a deal with them. Karlsson, Roy, Hague Whitecloud are all possibilities

I think he’s a good player he just always seems injured. If he can stay healthy great but IDK. If they could acquire Rossi with other pieces and go: Norris Rossi McLeod Krebs down the middle that is not bad at all.

And lineup Benson-Rossi to take the opening face off of next season.😛. Minny want a bigger centre. I would offer broken Norris for him in a heartbeat. I have no faith Norris plays regularly next season.

Was it on this board or another that someone said JJ was Terry’s favourite player right now? I can imagine that is going over well. Kevyn: “Terry if we only had a palm tree JJ would be all in. Those trees are killing us.”

Honest question. Every piece of news we get is another slap in the face. What is the next piece of “good news” about the Sabres we get that gets us excited?

I get a very strong feeling that next year will be worse than this season and extensions will be given out. Then all the players will jump ship.

I do because I think Shanahan is good. He built a strong organization in Toronto. The players just never pushed through but they were always set up to win. Shanahan would be a giant signal from Terry that he is ready to get serious. For Shanahan to agree to come it would mean the hierarchy would be changing in Buffalo. It would bring credibility to the franchise.

There was no plausible argument that justified KA being hired in the first place.

With Strabek, Kleber and Komarov already in the pipeline I wouldn’t like the pick. Give me a Martin, Bear ,McQueen or O’Brien, something we don’t have in the pipeline.

If he did Kevyn will tell us how impressive it was soon enough😃

Uh the answer is in the room. Dear Leader told us this.😛

My only hope at this point is they are waiting to bring Dudley in and he is going to be bad cop and 💩can everyone. Ofcourse none of that is happening but it’s the only hope I have left.

I have Zero percent faith that this organization as constructed head to toe will find any success moving forward. Why Pegula has trust in this group is beyond me. They desperately need an outside, seasoned voices in positions of power.
