Well you need to show some signs of life first before anyone will consider coming here. They probably could have had a bump last year when they were perceived as up and coming. But since they actually did worse this year and given their track record... signing FA is going to be hard. It's hard to feel bad for KA when he shot himself in the foot by not going after anyone last year.

Is there a reason they don't invite all of the prospects (besides injury worry about players that could make the Sabres)?

Potential value pick? Sidenote: I was on the wikipedia 2024 nhl entry draft page and I saw Miroslav Satan was taken a few picks ahead of Leenders. The Miro page linked to our own Miroslav Satan, so I did a bit of a double take. Turns out the Caps drafted Miro's son w/ pick 212. I didn't know that Miro had a son or that he was draft eligible!

The yearly day where they get eliminated from playoff contention

I don't mind them making the pick. Plus I like the idea of Helenius, seems like he would be a pretty good fit with his skillset. The issue, for me, has always been that they have too many picks that will be ready at roughly the same time. If you are going to make a trade, trade some of our current prospects b/c they can't all join the team at once. Hopefully KA has something cooking with the 2nd and/or current set of prospects...

Return of the vegetable

"Who do you think the Sabres will draft?" The best left handed D available. Add 'em to the stockpile!

Excited for game 7. What a comeback, never thought the Oilers had it in them. Even if they lose after coming back, it has ended up being an interesting series

Agreed, it's kind of silly. Clearly, they think they are getting some sort of advantage in making this exclusive to themselves. There may also be plans to develop further tools and/or add ons to the original software that they don't want other teams to have access to. Or maybe even integrate capfriendly with other forms of analysis. If thats the case (improving capfriendly with additional features), if capfriendly was public, they would turn around and sell these tools to the other teams.

Their benefit, presumably, is depriving other teams access to this commonly used resource. Other teams had deals w/ capfriendly to use their tools.

For the record, this was a joke

This is a bit of a non sequitur, but sometimes I forget that Samuelsson is on the team

Jeez. Unbelievable. Completely different player. He definitely has it in himself... Just need the right coach to unlock it.

Guy has questionable hands when he's not catching fastballs from Josh Allen. But on the other hand they do desperately need to make the defense fear the long ball and mvs, if nothing else, is fast

Lol. Well we are already paying him and he's good for development!

The consensus seems to be that the plan is to have appert helping with the pp. I question if that would be a good fit. Appert was a goalie, at least Ellis had previous forward experience (even if it wasn't on the pp). I hope lindy is going to be very actively helping with the pp to avoid another Ellis type situation where you have someone who is a good coach not being placed in a position to succeed

Unpopular opinion: Appert seems like a good motivator and I'm glad the sabres retained him. Would've been nice to see some other changes made to the staff though. Maybe Vinny prospal should have come up with appert to help run the powerplay and get a fresher set of eyes

Still plenty of time to come back, but cmon. How can you come out so flat in a series deciding game at home

2 nil?

Comparing the leafs to a bully... 😂 They might be even further from bully status than the sabres

Absolutely ridiculous comeback

Murray, winner!

My memory is he played a lot with EJ. Imo, that makes his season even that much more impressive in light of the fact that EJ was so atrocious. He wasn't flashy (aside from that one stretch pass in his debut. To skinner i think?), but he seemed extremely effective for a rookie
