slide from ROSTER

Cause Power, Quinn, Krebs, Tuch, Greenway will trend up

Exactly my point, assists are 2nd, 3rd pts. Whats more important 20 goals 30 assists or 10 goals 40 assists when 1-2 players can be made an assist on a goal

70 pts come from Cozens, Quinn, Krebs, etc... Not Kulich, Savoie, they are your rookies at 20-40 pts But I will bet Kulich or Savoie get to 30 goals before Middlestat does.

We know Kulich is producing Big time in the likes of better than Quinn, he cant stay in Amerks, that is development. Savoie if ready will be up but Sabres have time. Middlestat is about money. Can't pay everyone. Have Dahlin Power that in 3 years will both be $10-12 mil guys/yr. Have Quinn/Krebs needing to be paid something in $4-5 mil/yr range in two years. Tuch will be due in two years at $6-8 mil. No room for 10 goals/40pts at $4-6 mil, NOT on this team. Don't think he sucks, just think there are cheaper alternatives and Sabres will need cheap options 5-6 years from now READY, that means draft picks now to make that happen. We have NO defensive backups.

Middlestat can have a place at Jost and Hino expense. Kulich and/or Savoie will be here sometime next year Have to decide Olofsson, Middlestat, Hino and Jost cause Peterka too eventually will also be on top if he discovers his speed and shot together. I expect Stillman and Greenway are here next year playing for toughness Wondering about Girg and Okoposso. I still see a place for them developing Kulich and Savoie

OK with that. Tuch is pretty good though and still can get better. Bit different players too.

Fine, just NOT a rostor spot at expense of Kulich, Savoie coming up. Middlestat and Olfsson have had PLENTY of time to prove their worth.

Still believe in Peterka but 1st year has been NOT GOOD Quinn and Krebs slow to develop but I believe have arrived. Tage, Cozens have nailed it

More when Sabres made 2nd line Center, he FAILED We now have NEW Prospects with high ceilings. Where Casey is will be a 4-5 mil player when you can do this at 1 mil with all the Sabres Prospects. Not needed by Sabres now, that is the point, get picks for 5-6 years from now when you have 6-7 high paid guys and will need cheap answers.

Can't run rookies and 1st year guys together and expect to make playoffs. Quinn Tage Skinner Tuch Cozen Kulich Olofsson/Middlestat (trade) Krebs Greenway Girg Savoie/Jost Okoposo HINOSTROZA and JOST as next man in So, have no clause on TRADE Makes him more tradeable

The better Middlestat produces the better the trade. He will be a 6 mil forward if he produces soon. Time to move him and bring up cheaper players with years to give cheap and a cheap fist contract. Only way you keep Tuch, Tage, Skinner, Cozens, Dahlin and Power. Even Krebs and Quinn someday will NOT fit on Roster. Someone gets traded to fit them. Have money for 4-5 plus 7 mil guys, that is it.

Peterka not READY

Quinn works well on top line, starting to produce. Gonna do it, should be Tuch, Cozens, Middlestat.

Trade bait good 13 player. Like Hiro better

Why, we have tons of Prospects to move up. Clogged at Sabres Level Peterka is NOT a assest now and needs to go back down to remain a "good" prospect. Not ready. Time for Kulich NOW, swap them, nothing to lose.

Replace him with Kulich or Savoie in a second

No, had a GOOD game last night but rarely does this. We have to many Prospects and I don't look at Middlestat as a Veteran. NEVER proven himself yet. He however has been HEALTHY. Times up, give time to Kulich

Peterka is just NOT ready, Quinn was making passes, Krebs too and fiesty. Just NOT seeing anything but fast skating at times. In defensive zone he just watches, never involved, 5-4 with Peterka in their own end.

Both deserve to sit. That said, Peterka needs to go back to Rochester, he is NOT reacting quick enough

Peterka is getting worse, needs Rochester to slow game down again. He is skating in circles watching, late or coughs puck up, late shooting Olofsson is a defensive nightmare Middlestat inconsistent Like Quinn and Krebs, trending up Would like to see Kuilich first and Savoie later in these lineups. Levi too, might be time to end Anderson time with Sabres, most find out what Comrie and UPL have to know if a trade is needed in the Offseason.

Peterka is Fast but very noticeable he has NO idea what to do out there, step behind with his mind. Greenway just got here, doesn't know the plays, the players. He of course is NOT a SPEED guy but I bet he can bang the net, check and get puck back and defend his NET area. That is what you need from him.

Stillman did that and look what happened. These players need to become part of the Sabre Borg. Adams and Granto have a hold of their TEAM and even protect players that just are NOT making it. Peterka can't play at this level yet but are protecting him from Criticism. Sure the other players are NOT ok with Peterka, Olofsson costing them goals night after night. Middlestat has some good nights but those are the guys that Salovia and Kulich will replace. Has to be or you can't get better.

Pull your GOALIE at 5 mins, deserve what you get. Don't trade anyone. NO ONE WANTS THEM

12 years no playoffs eventually can get you FIRED if you don't make playoffs the next year. This years draft means nothing to Sabres for years to come. Last 4-5 drafts will make this team up for 5-6 years or more. Too many players, Sabres will be trading players for draft picks soon 5-6 years from now. They need a 1 dimensional RW D to go with Power, Need a Vet Winger for Cozens, Could use a #1 Goalie to go with Levi for future. UPL and Comrie NOT the Answer. Other than that they have Savoie and Kulich to get on this Roster some time next year. Never know 🙂
