One, We are not near Camp yet. Still things like Trades to play out Someone like Greenway may go, Krebs. Still could use another Veteran 20 goal scoring Center. I don't see a need for a Extreme get a Top 6 Forward till we see what Camp looks like. I will bet a Team will Call us with a Trade. Some Teams out there that need to get Younger and the Sabres have more Prospects then anyone!!!

I understand last years Frustration, we did not get better. Half the people whining were the ones who wants Krebs, Okposo and Girg, Jost. Lindy Ruff is the Fix for Last years Regression under Granto. Why they stopped their wide open game 1 point from playoffs is beyond me. We are Loaded in Rochester yet we kept playing Jost, Krebs, Girgs and Okposo while losing. 2nd half of the Season we should have had Amerks up yet we acted like we were in a Playoff Race. We never where. When Quinn went down, we were in trouble. When Tuch and Tage got injured, derailed the Season. I like the Players added. Fill the Roster with potential 2-3 Amerks up to swap in with different teams played. I don't see a need for Top 6 guy unless a Player that really wants to be here pops out like Iafallo or Foligno. 3rd Line Center is a Must for 1 year. Over pay if you have to. Go get a guy like Scott Laughton. Between him and Lafferty you might have good 3/4th Centers. Bring up from Rochester a Center and a Winger to learn behind these guys. Move Krebs, he is not versatile!!

Why do you feel Savoie, Kulich, Benson, Östlund, Walberg might not be able to do that? These are very Talented people with a good HC and a AHC that knows them well. If a Great 3C pops up awesome, hopefully Krebs is in Package. I do NOT doubt Amerks will reap Sabres rewards, Made the Playoffs past two seasons. The Bottom Two Lines Will be very Physical and have some good checking in place.

You Realize it is only July 2nd. Season doesn't start till October

We spend 13 years in HELL and last 3-4 really building Rochester to keep us Supplied. Sabres raided Rochester 2 years ago and we are reaping rewards 3 years later where We have 5 of our Top 6 players. Also have Benson 1 year of Experience. Rochester is Loaded with 5-8 players 1 year away and maybe a Draft this year that could bring us a True Center and RW Defensive man. We are getting Levi, probably Ryan Johnson this year. Top 6 might get Savoie (minors), maybe one of Rousek, Rosen or Kulich for Bottom 6. Amerks have 3-4 guys 1 year away both on Offense and Defense. I would say this is GREAT returns Be great to add Top Winger Vet that produces every year. We have Prospects to give too. My Favorite will be Sam Bennett to spread FEAR in our opponents, next Nick Foligno, then Alex Iafallo or Kyle Conner from Jets We have Prospects to get this done if that is what Teams want. Also have all of next years picks we don't need.

Whew

More than half the people on here wanted Okposo and Girg back last year. Many of us told you they needed a Trade for Top 4 Defense and a Winger, maybe even a Goalie. We were Right the Bottom 6 was not correct. Goaltending shook itself out and we got Bo Byram later. We lost Quinn to which worsened what happen last year So Adams went out this year and took care of Bottom 6 quickly, looks good on Paper Only thing we need no is Skinner replacement. This doesn't have to happen quickly. Could be before Camp, could be during Camp. Maybe a Prospect like Savoie, Benson, Rosen steps up for the Spot. Good Trade is better than a Fast one for your Fantasy League or Psyche. That said, I would like Sam Bennett, Iaefello or Nick Foligno

We had a 30 Goal scorer and 32 year old Vet, eating money instead Unless it is a TOP Freeagent why did we Tank? Was to fill Amerks and Minors with Prospects to move up to Sabres cheaply Paying guys already and have Quinn and Peterka to pay for next year I see Kulich, Savoie, Rosen, Östlund and even Benson who can go to Top Line

Tuch Tage Savoie (or FA signing) Quinn Cozens Peterka Malenstyn Benson Rousek Zucker Kulich Greenway Krebs Lafferty

Eating GM mistakes with HC and Skinner. That is what good Owners do. Might be a Bad President of Operations

Sabres have MONEY Sabres have one of the Winnest HC Florida won with HC that never won Cup for 28 years Sabres had Offense that was Top 5 just 2 years ago and have Top 5 that was there back then. Sabres have one of the BEST Goalie Tandems in League Sabres Defense is led by Dahlin, Power and Bo Byram Seriously, What is NOT to Like?????

If the Sabres had to they can put a Very Good Roster together just from Amerks. Might take 25% of Season to get Rookies up to speed but Goaltending and D could carry them with Ruff. Here is what my Amerks/Sabres Roster would be Tuch Tage Savoie Quinn Cozens Peterka Malenstyn Benson Kulich Greenway Krebs Rosen extra Rousek, Cecconi Dahlin Power Bo Bynam Ryan Johnson Samuelsson Joki Clifton Just losing Oloffson, Jost and Girg helps

1yr 8 mil start would end the Laughing, basically money they get from Skinner

Have to move Cozens then or send him to 3rd Center for two years. He has played like one!!! Like Iafallo and Nick Foligno

OPPS Better hope I didn't mean Eric Johnson, LOL

Some people will come here, maybe not what we wanted. We have 20+ Prospects ready for a shot with Talent that can with NO PROBLEM Rest of the League can go THUMP themselves!!!! Sabres should have been in Playoffs last two years, Adams didn't toughen the Roster enough and Granto changed his Philosophy heading in the right direction two years ago! I believe Ruff can take this Team, as is, to Playoffs now. Got D and we have Goaltending. We also know this Top 5 can score enough. Rochester has been going to the Playoffs for at least two years, Players we can use there. Malenstyn is a very good pickup, Gives us two BIG forwards with Greenway. Also think Rousek will come up as a Good two way forward on 4th line. Krebs is still Good 4th line Center.

Top 6 Forward Kane, Bennett, Nick Foligno, Mitch Mariner, Kyle Connor 3rd Line Center Laughton, maybe Kulich or Benson, Adam Henrique All the room we have without moving Greenway. 2-3 Amerks are coming to Sabres unless we Start Trading them away I see Savoie, Rousek, Kulich and Randy Johnson possibly coming Did I really need to say Levi

Get Top 6 Winger from; Kane FA 1st choice, 1 year Contract $8 mil Trades if you want long term, 1st Choice Bennett, Mariner, Connor, Nick Foligno Tuch Tage Kane/Bennett/Foligno Quinn Cozens Peterka Malenstyn Laughton/Kulich Benson Greenway Rousek Savoie Dahlin Power Bo Bynam Ryan Johnson Samuelson Joki/Clifton/Bryson, trade someone

Beck Malenstyn will do more for Sabres than Skinner at this point on 3rd Line. Also now have Greenway for 3rd or 4th line and Rousek as possible 4th line Center. Krebs is Done I think 3rd Line Malenstyn Laughton C Benson 4th Line Greenway Rousek C Savoie

Bummer

This is what I would like to see happen for Sabres Tuch Tage Bennett or Kane Quinn Cozens Peterka Savoie Laughton C Benson OR Savoie Benson C Kane Greenway Krebs Rousek Dahlin Power Bo Byram Tyler Meyer Samuelsson Joki or Johnson backup Clifton or Bryson UPL/Levi

Not about this kid, he could be Crosby some day. We have lots of Good Guys of age and Ready for NHL seasons. Just NOT on a Team that has to end a 13 year NO PLAYOFF STREAK We need a Top 6 Winger that has some GRIT, Bennett for me We need a Top 4 RW D Player, to go with Bo. Play Dahlin and Power together with Samuelson spelling one of them at times Put Samuelson and Joki together or Trade Joki and bring Johnson up Clifton or Bryson as backup, trade the other Not about the kid

Hoping Benson Centers Savoy and Kane Adams has Ruined Sabres by staying stagnant too long. No One wants to come here when past Sabres are winning Cups and warning League Players Buffalo is a Career DEATH

No one drafted this year helps the Sabres this year unless in a Trade. Not even sure anyone Drafted by Sabres will sign a deal to come here, No Roster spots available on the Amerks either. Adams will lose players because there is NO ROOM

Question still will be, will Adams part with Prospects???? If Jersey is asking more than Adams wants to give, who steps in and says, DO THE TRADE. If Adams doesn't complete a Good Proper Trade, even over paying a little should Pegula FIRE ADAMS after the Draft and a few weeks later. Seriously, is Ruff Ready to have 3-4 Amerks playing on this years squad???? Got a new Coach, should have Got a new GM too!!!!!!!!!!!!! What if the Wrong guy got FIRED?????
