I went to see the Sabres in Vegas during their first season. The PA(Monster Truck Guy) announcer was so far over the top it was embarrassing. I have to believe even the home team fans find this clown annoying.

Putting Eakin, Caggiula, or Bjork in the lineup over R2, is a complete joke. Take a skill guy and make him your spare forward…sounds like another solid coaching hire.

I wish I shared your optimism, and maybe completely off base, but liking each other and trying hard only goes so far at the NHL level. I see a bottom 3 team. 😞

Who cares what John is doing. For all practical purposes, he is no longer a Sabre.

Was Borgen waived?

Contracts being handed out like candy. Two 41 point seasons(I know one was a shortened season) now gets you a long term 8mil per contract?

He is an NHL HC, and should have the team ready to go in all situations from Game 1 on. That is why he has assistant coaches. I smell the excuse generator cranking up already.

Don’t know if everyone was there for the draft, but things seemed to move along fairly quick. Good luck to all!

Excellent! 👍

So you know enough about Barre-Boulet that he would not be an upgrade over Eakin?

So the Sabres had 1st crack at this Tampa player, and passed on him?

Tage at center is a friggin joke. Shame on Adams for handing Granato this heaping steaming pile of crap.

They need to get Cozens away from this tire fire. Put him with JJ, and let them grow together in Rochester this season.

I don't see a way to do the draft order ahead of time. I am assuming that it will be revealed when the draft room opens(an hour ahead of time?). I have never been a commish on Yahoo league before, so sorry for the lack of specific info.

A top goalie? I’d settle for a mediocre goalie. Have you looked at who the Sabres are planning on going with between the pipes this season?

There is also this thing good GM’s do…it’s called “making trades”.

It wouldn’t bother me one bit if both JJP and Cozens are both sent down. This team is going to be bad…really bad.

Look at the goalie options on the Sabres, and tell me this isn’t a tank. 😉

Thanks Taro! 👍

So, how many players do the Sabres have to cut to get to the roster maximum, and is the NHL doing the taxi squad thing this season?

Denis Potvin. Oops, wrong #1 overall pick.

I’m not sure Dahlin would be an Olympic lock…unless he comes out to start the season, a different player.

Can the conditional part of the trade be based on GP, points, etc… ? Also, if the above is true, can these conditions be based on multiple years after the trade? Enquiring minds want to know. 😱

Draft will be Monday 10/11 at 8PM ET. If you can’t make it, you can always rank enough players ahead of time to at least get you players you want for the first few rounds.
