Size and yes now you can trade Savoie or Benson. Wouldn't expect this till after camp. Sabres wouldn't ship out Prospects before. Ship out Olofsson, Middlestat, Krebs, next years picks. You can sign UFA's or Jost back too. Personally, rather have Musty cause he is more like Tuch. Those are the players I covet. Plus we have Rosen and Quinn which are Basically Benson already in Majors. But if your a gambling man your odds of getting a great player out of Savoie or Benson, just went WAY UP!

I want to Clone Power

They can send either player on Waivers to Rochester. Taken, YEAAA. If NOT we stash the Veterans for Injury purposes. Didn't like Okposo signing, we need to move forward and have 3 good Captain Candidates. Girg I like. Either way neither will keep a Kid out of Lineup if they Win in Camp and produce.

Goal A goal is awarded to the last player on the scoring Club to touch the puck prior to the puck entering the net. Assist An assist is awarded to the player or players (maximum of two) who touched the puck prior to the goal, provided no defender plays or possesses the puck in between. Person that scores is the one who was awarded the GOAL (scoring = Goal) https://www.nhl.com/info/go-figure

"Here are the all-time point leaders and active point leaders for the NHL's 31 teams:" Interesting article

8th Seed for a Reason. Got lucky against Boston and rolled a Bit. Game 5 Goalie choice was a mistake with a hurt Ullmark. Sabres were there if they beat them head to head that last game, lost 3-2. You act like he shot 26 pucks in the net, OK

Think you mean Points, were they 1 or 2? He had 6 Goals, down around 14th with a lot more games then most. I am Glad for him, Sabres drafted right, bad Coaches. I personally think TUCH is better all around!!!!!!!!!!!

I am Glad for LV and this isn't about Eichel. He definitely helped but feel LV was ready for this anyway. No love loss for Florida and 5-7 players on that team that were Sabres. They more than anything , with a stacked TEAM couldn't be a TEAM, for us Sabres fans. On them.

They know Jack Eichel and have to feel they can 1 up him. Tuch will play his part!

I hope he does, Great Bulletin Board stuff!

Sabres, Tuch now you know where to go Adams, do your job and get 4th defensive-man, Goalie to teach Levi to be Great!

Conner McDavid can't sleep

Okposo was Eichel's friend, should have been able to guide him better. Cancer is selecting the wrong Captain, Eichel was NOT a Captain, Sorry but Okposo is a great guy but his Stats and last 7 years are NOT inspiring Time to pick Dahlin, Tage or Tuch as Captain. Tuch seems to have it all, Local, good two way guy, only 26 (in League since 19 so very experienced, one of the few with Playoff Experiences in Pros and well liked.

That FL 2-1 game lost was Levi in Goal. No bigger Loss the whole season. Near the end and would have cemented Sabres in. There were games that Sabres should have won but just couldn't produce goals. The Captain gets those goals/assists out of his players, especially the young ones. On occasion he does it himself. The Captain gets his team buckled down to hold leads. Only needed 2pts and there were Plenty of games Okposo should have dialed in his players. Goaltending is easy answer, you need it to win series, ie... FL Two long losing streaks Sabres had needed Okposo to lead his Team out. Washington game lead, Home game record.

I get the stats. I would expect Okposo being Captain and a teacher to be better than Krebs, Quinn Okposo -7 28pts Krebs -8 26pts Quinn -7 37pts Only Oloffson and Peterka were way worse -23 40pts, Peterka -15 32pts Next two about the same Girg -5 18pts, Jost -9 22pts, Now these minus players, still young have way more points Cozen -3 68pts Middlestat -8 59pts I would expect that since no one is scoring much with Cozens but him, he still looks pretty good. Middlestat twice the points of Okposo The better players are all + players, Tage, Tuch, Skinner, Dahlin, Power, Samuelson, even Stillman Point is Okposo is average, dime a dozen in the NHL. If he was even 0 to -3 and 40 pts. To be -7 he needs 50+ pts The reason we were not in Playoffs is the Captain couldn't elevate the other players games cause he can't produce himself. Tage, Tuch, Skinner, Dahlin and Power would all make better Captains

Well, Amerks are doing good with Prospects. In their 3rd Series up 1-0 on the road. Sabres, eh, really not 100% sure what happens with Quinn, Krebs, Peterka, UPL. Look at Amerks, could be said they should have stayed there to develop. Amerks came back down 3-1, blew away Toronto affiliate 4-1. Hersey hadn't lost but two games in their series and Rochester blew them away first game. Getting Savoie should only help.

Kulich is in his 3rd playoff series in AHL. That is why he is ahead of Östlund, Savoie, Peterka, Krebs and maybe even Quinn. Savoie gets playing time he jumps up too. Already stated this but Kulich, Rosen, Rousek, Davies, etc... have more Pro Playoff experience then everyone on Sabres except maybe Tuch Davies is pretty good

Sabres can even afford to just offer a contract and pay the cost in picks if Adams too shy to give up prospects. Our picks should be down farther in draft for years to come. Be no path top 3 lines for 6-7 years after 23-24

Trade, like you said, we have too many players. Soon enough we will need to trade people for picks cause we will have NO path above. Money will be paid out too for 4-5 years, Skinner gone, etc.. Good thing is Sabres are loaded. If Peterka or Krebs don't get better fast enough they can move on. Sabres are NOT stuck and there are names on Amerks you don't know cause they weren't high picks but are Great Prospects

Get him on a line with Rousek, problem solved

Have to have a Path for him, right now we don't. Get a Defensive lineman for Power or Vet Goaltender, be worth the trade. This team is young and be years for him. Savoie, Krebs, Jost, Middlestat, Kulich are ahead of him for 3rd or 4th lines. Only mentioning those who play center/winger.

Game 2 is in Hersey Thursday, Rochester Saturday and Monday Savoie can play and practiced today with Amerks. The contract allows in his league to play only the Playoffs. The Coach said the guys there that got us there, play first. That said, bet he at least plays at Home.

What you are asking for is a Couple VETS who can teach the younger guys on Ice who can play. Doesn't have to be Okposo who is 1-2 year older than we need. HIS TIME HAS COME, HIS WATCH HAS ENDED When the old guys get beat and you lose that Florida game again, guys like Dahlin, Tage, Tuch, Skinner will NOT be saying AWE, he's our CAPTAIN' , we go down with him! They will be saying there is a CULTURE OF LOSING STILL HERE Eichel, Reinhart, O'Reilly all said these things so we ship them all off Sabres are still NOT making the Playoffs Funny, those guys are Then Adams is NOT a good GM He sent Savoie to Rochester to play in playoffs TOP Prospects are scoring, getting pts and winning. Won 6-7 straight playoff games now, two series and up 1-0 on the 3rd away 12 years no playoffs, 7 with that player. Great guy lets keep him around, be no different bringing in say Bergeron, Kane or someone else. Hell it has worked out great so far. You know Opkoso still has that neck issue, that could come back. Sorry, bad move. If he meant that much he would have found a way to get Sabres 2 more pts. Okposo can't carry a TEAM on his back, even for brief Periods. Leadership comes on ICE or past Accomplishments, been 7+ years since Okposo can tout any of those. I would take .300 Caps aren't yelling, emphasis. If the whole thing was CAPS, that would be yelling So what you are saying, the 4th line needs to be Character, older than your top 3 lines players which is Skinner at 29, "Minus" player cause he can only score at best 15/28pts and checks Top Lines. Just checking? BETTER?
