we can hope they have a simialr impact that McLeod did. He surprised in a good way, I would say

I think this is too much - keep the 9th, send Byram and a prospect. Kyrou is a great player and you do what it takes to make it work, but look at this unbalance it creates. We should really be targeting a LWer. Centers: Kyrou, Norris, Kulich, Mcleod, Krebs (very strong - who moves to wing, specifically LW?) RW: Tage, Tuch, Quinn, Doan, (solid) LW: Benson, Zucker, Greenway, Maelstyn (yuck)

The Sabres were interested in him at the trade deadline. He's listed as a center and shoots right. Can never have too many centers, but one of our centers would have to play LW then - between Norris, Kulich, Kyrou as none of them are a 3rd line center (maybe Kulich?)

St Louis have a need for LHD? Kyrou would be an improvement over Peterka. Still have holes at goalie and D partner for Dahlin, but UFA or further trades should be able to address that Yep, but aren't his analytics pretty bad defensively?

Kyrou is an older/slightly better version of Peterka, so would be good. I think he's allergic to defense too (like Peterka)

I agree that I think they take Smith if he's there at #9, with his Penn State connection. I'm not as sure he'll get to 9 though, as I read an article yesterday saying "teams that passed on him will look silly when he wins the Norris is 5 years." We suddenly have decent organizational depth at RHD now. Other guys I's like at 9 are Bartone and Martin.

A. all rumors, but s lot of heavy insider said so B. I might be wrong, but think that starts 7/1?? They get through the draft first then go to tampering

Nope (a) Ehlers turned down a trade to Buffalo recently - why would he openly sign here? (b) UFA doesn't begin until next week

How about something like Byram, UPL, #9 overall for Demko and Pettersson? VAN say no? Leaves a gaping hole at 1B defense, next to Dahlin than would have to be found in UFA

I would theorize that Doan underperformed with 40 points in Rochester and Peterka was hurt for 30 games

With Adams and Ruff in the last year of their contracts, I'm sure KA is going to try and trade it for an established NHL hockey player, if at all possible. These type of trades don't happen often but Savoie for McLeod has certainly worked out well for us so far (Not the same type of trade of course, but similar). Look to teams without a 1st, tight to the cap and/or rebuilding for such a trade. Don't know personally who that could be?

Typical sabres type thing - you're left not knowing what you really have. At least we have a "world champiuonship" lacrosse team. On to football

Bandits had a ton of bad bounces/luck -hitting quite a few posts. I only was able to watch the 2nd half, but Dane Smith seemed like a non-factor to me. Isn't he our best player, correct me if I'm wrong.

Only way you trade Levi is if you trade for or sign a #1 NHL goalie. UPL can be your #2 but he's too streaky to depend on as your #1.

fukk these assclowns. how's that for positive vibes, it's the best I've got.

do you really think the players care/take pride in wearing an A? taking it away does nothing

Time to watch a real team...the Bills. Truth is Pegula has no clue what's he's doing owning teams. He lucked into Beane and McDermott, after stupidly retaining Whaley/That sex offender whom I can't remember his name and hiring Rex Ryan.

tear it down. I know it's early in the season, but, if it's not obvious after 3+ seasons of basically the same core, I don't know what is obvious. and this should not be done by Kevin Adams

our best D this year is Joker, and it isn't close

full disclosure, we got Kulich in the reinhart deal too

Small sample size but your namesake is playing like a #7 d not a captain. small sample size but Dahlin is on pace for 82GP, 0 G, 16 A, -16 +/-

5 penalties against 1 for - what a goddam joke. I'm still trying to figure out what the penalty to Benson was for? To give Malkin a shot at his 500th??

Alpert is in charge of the PP and I use charge lightly

If Lindy has any ballz, tomorrow he benches Cozens and puts Kulich back in the lineup. Unless Kulich is dinged up, he shouldn't have been sitting anyway. He also sits Clift and puts Gilbert in the lineup, or Bryson, don't give a fukk which one

Here's your sabres fun stat for the day: Through 5 games, combined stats for Dahlin/Quinn/Benson/cozens 19 GPs, 0 goals, 4 assists, -12 Fun stat #2; our #1 goalie, 3 GP's, 3 losses, 3.67 GAA, .872 SAV% - here's an idea, Levi wins, Levi plays the next game???? I know....small sample size.....but Fun times
