And the year after that they scored 3.6 goals per game.
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!!

He could have made similar moves 2 years ago to help the young core, especially in net.
He still has more to go. We have Tage, Cozens, and Krebs for centers. We need a 2C.
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.

This is pretty much all we have here. Pegula had $9M reasons for buying out Skinner. If we weren’t going to use the space created, it would’ve been better cap management to stash him in the press box each night.
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.

KA’s press conference was laughable if not delusional…
yes, we badly needed the tougher players. But we also badly needed tougher and better players…
We’re two short by my count and the poll above…. #2LW and 3C…. We need GOOD players here.
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

Everyone needs to brace themselves for the presser on today. Adams will say they filled positions of need, mainly across the bottom six. He'll say the top six doesn't have a problem generating offense, even despite last season's regression, and therefore he didn't need to worry about adding top six players if no "deals" were to be had. "We think we are definitely tougher to play against now, and our top lines will be free from having to execute duties outside of their expected roles."
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

I still think that our best bet is to try and get Lundell from Florida with all of their intentions of re-signing/extending players
Peterka - Thompson - Tuch
Benson - Cozens - Quinn
Zucker - Lundell - Greenway
Malenstyn - Krebs - Lafferty
is at least a respectable roster
Tuch Tage Savoie (or FA signing)
Quinn Cozens Peterka
Malenstyn Benson Rousek
Zucker Kulich Greenway
Krebs Lafferty

I'm missing something. Is this assuming Benson is on line 3?

Eating GM mistakes with HC and Skinner. That is what good Owners do.

Not sure I understand why the Sabres are so radioactive. I get that there are more desirable places to play, but the team has a young core and pipeline with an overall decent future and a new head coach who is generally well respected. Must be some pretty awful information out there about the franchise for so many players at different levels (free agents, college players who haven't signed and players that are under contract that don't want to be traded to the team) to not want to come here (and for GMs to honor those wishes for players that could be traded to the Sabres).
Doesn't there have to be more to this?
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?????

To be frank I’m concerned for the franchise’s future at this point. No one will waive or sign here of note. Even when we state that we are trying to win nowadays. Before people say you need to win; well it’s hard to if no one wants to come here unless they are drafted by us to begin with. It would effectively mean we will never escape the basement because we’ll never get the support to get into the playoffs and have to forever rely on rookies only for players to leave upon reaching their maturity.
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

Kane picks up the phone, laughs and hangs up.
1yr 8 mil start would end the Laughing, basically money they get from Skinner

I have a feeling Pegula is pushing for something crazy like Stamkos $11 million per for 2 years.
Have to move Cozens then or send him to 3rd Center for two years. He has played like one!!!
1 hour ago, Flashsabre said:I think Stephenson seems like a Sabres signing.
I think realistically guys like Stephenson, Carrier, Martinook, Wennberg are their targets.
Matt Roy would be such a good addition for Power but his market will be big.
Maybe a trade for Ehlers or Iafallo.
Like Iafallo and Nick Foligno

I get it. It is frustrating. And it was just my guess is all. Not being privy to what was said in conversations, if any took place at all, leads at least myself to guess on what actually may have occurred. Of course, we are still a day from fa, so maybe there is a plan in play that needs to play out in early July before we see what Adams is doing, but yea, it is frustrating given the last 13 yrs. Patience isn't just thin with an overwhelming number of the fan base, it's straight out evaporated.
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.

2-3 more forwards. By FA or trade.
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

Are the Buffalo Sabres objectively better right now than they were a week ago? Did buying out Jeff Skinner and trading for Beck Malenstyn move the needle? If it did, was it even in a positive direction?
GMKA has a lot of work to do this FA. And, frankly, if other GMs don’t want to trade with you, it’s time to go scorched earth. Offer sheet Anton Lundell or Quinton Byfield. If those bridges aren’t open, burning them doesn’t change anything.
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

I was saying that before the draft but this kid has 25# on Krebs thru Benson….and He’s 5’11” right now too….
i think he much farther along than Krebs thru Benson as well…
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

Do you expect a mid draft pick in a weak draft to be a top liner? A 2/3C would be great for us in a few years
Is this trying to say he might impress in camp and challenge the roster this year like Bensen did last?
beating out Krebs isn’t a high bar…
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

I think the Flyers got the guy we needed more so that 2nd rounder better get us something or that's another bad trade.
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

This sucks .. another player we won't see for 2 years to three and he won't make an impact till your f****** five
And I'll be dead
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?????
Are the 24/25 Sabres a better team today then before the draft? Is this a playoff caliber roster?

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!!!
