Your not getting it. I know Krebs isn't getting you anything but a spot to move another play off gametime Roster. Our Roster is full, we have extra Defenseman right now and maybe a 3rd Goalie again., LOL! 2nd line right now has Zucker or Benson. Other goes to 3rd line with Greenway McLeod 4th line is set with Malenstyn Lafferty Aube-Kubel/Krebs None of the Top 9 are going to 4th line unless you want Greenway there and that is Krebs gone then. That puts Benson on 3rd line. Someone has to go. No way a Amerk doesn't make team either. Must to keep things moving. Running out of Roster unless an Injury bug happens

I don't want Greenway moved but right not Krebs isn't a guy playing, just backup. Greenway is a guy that could allow for a Top 6 pickup and Benson stays. Adams is NOT keeping his pickups this year with Ruffs approval off Roster except maybe Aube-Kubel situationally. Right now either Benson or Zucker are on second line. Greenway 3rd. so lets say Zucker is on third line. Greenway McLeod Benson Bottom 3 are set. Where does the new guy go?

Edmonton went to the Cup and they quite like him. Need to move 3.5 million. I have read a bit about him and he wasn't good with only one of the pairings. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/3331580/2022/05/24/edmonton-oilers-cody-ceci-nhl-playoffs/

If you don't move either, where do you put your new Trade?

Ryan Johnson for Ceci, we need a true RH Defensman We have other Defense Prospects for next year and after if needed. Dahlin Power Bo Bynam Cody Ceci Samuelsson Joki Bryson Clifton

Krebs would definitely need to be removed from Roster. The only other way is trade a player off Top 6 for another. Move Krebs and Greenway get a Top 6 guy. How do you get Benson in otherwise. Zucker is definitely playing as is Lafferty and Malenstyn. These are your grit guys and Zucker can backup anyone on the Top 6 for a short period. Roster is Full. May only be room for a Amerk on Bottom Line like Kulich over Aube-Kubel playing every game. I know 100% Appert don't feel that way

Updated Lines Tuch Tage Peterka Quinn Cozens Zucker Greenway McLeod Benson Malenstyn Lafferty Kulich Backups: Aube-Kubel Krebs Krebs can be shipped off for a Draft pick, lucky a 2nd Rounder but more likely a 3rd or 4th

Drafted #6 Over all and score 71 pts in 34 games last year Kulich has shown signs with Amerks which means more. This years draft and #14 pick I think made Savoie expendable because he most likely wasn't gonna get a fair shot to play this year. Adams couldn't risk a Rookie in a much needed spot. For this reason I still believe Adams gets a Winger Top Line or a Center 2nd line and Cozens goes to wing

Savoie really only played a couple games, doesn't count

Top 4 RH Defenseman to pair with Dahlin would be nice, stay at home guy. Got Samuelsson, Ryan Johnson to use with Prospects

You wish last year didn't happen because before that we all were very Optimistic. At least we got Peterka staring at being 30+ goal scorer now. What makes you think Adams is done. Still LOADED with prospects Every other Team is looking at Sabres with Ruff, Tough bottom 6, Top 6 two years ago that was Top 3 in League. Oh Adams still is Loaded with Prospects to trade and MONEY

"Malenstyn, 26, had a breakout season with the Capitals in 2023-24 and cemented himself as a true NHLer. After appearing in just nine games for the Capitals in 2022-23, Malenstyn played in 81 contests this past season, posting six goals, 21 points, 93 blocks, and 241 hits." https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/buffalo-sabres/latest-news/sabres-acquire-beck-malenstyn-from-capitals You don't get MEAN for nothing. He also helped Hersey knock Amerks from the Playoffs 2024

Even after this we still got back another Center as a Prospect who did well. Outside of a 2nd round pick used, we got another one trading back to 14. So where have the Sabres lost any Prospects?? We got two players too that will help immediately. Looks Like a WINNER to me!

Makes me feel Adam gets it now and could even still do more if the Right Trade appears. Could still use a Top 6 player at Wing or Center. Get a Center, Cozens goes to Wing, Season starts 2024 not 2025

Well, does it matter either way. Training camp will spell out the lines. Cozen deserves a demotion if he isn't better prepared this year. Completion has gotten better since he doesn't hold a huge size advantage anymore. Probably a whole bunch slower too. Let the games begin! Amerks, no question

Savoie lost out cause he got hurt in the same year Benson arrived. Both had to go back to Juniors or stay with Sabres. What Savoie did in Juniors was SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!! 71pts in 34 games is no easy feat and Savoie made it look easy. If he lands on a Top 6 line he will be a STUD offensive Winger That said, I like McLeod, better fit for Sabres right now. Sabres need a Fast Start

First trade made where I thought Adams did something he needed using a Prospect he really Valued and got a Very Good return. Hope this works out for BOTH Clubs cause I really would have liked to see Savoie make it Big for the Sabres. Now it will be McLeod. Don't seem to miss Middlestat so much either now. Size Matters

2nd he got hurt in Camp and Benson played well. One stayed, one went to the Minors. Sabres needed a Vet. Makes more sense. Got size and speed instead, maybe not a pure goal scorer like Savoie look to be Why people should stop overreacting

Well, we have 1,2,3,4C covered with a Backup in Krebs. Good enough for me.

Beck Malenstyn was a Player we did NOT have That is something your not drafting 2nd Round and getting to play for you 1-2 years. Besides we still have way too many Prospects

Have Kulich still and this years 1st Rounder. If McLeod is good we will only have a 4C open next year without a Trade. We have fewer Forward spots too. This is what half of the people are yelling for. More Ready then Savoie for sure. Playoff Experience.

Kinda like Buffalo and the WR group

Krebs Extra or gone

Clayton

That is better and I didn't say Ehlers wouldn't help this Team. Sabres are not the same team they were when Hall was here. Eichel for Sabres was a Cancer. Great player with poor attitude here. Was a Bad Captain. NJ and Dallas were in Complete Rebuilds, there is a difference. But Ruff did lead them to the Playoffs. Didn't take 13 years. Buffalo has TOP players in the League even if they didn't perform well last year. We beat some good teams and that wasn't a Fluke. Talent is there. When we scored more than 4 goals in games we usually won. Also did well staying in Low scoring games which should get better under Ruff. We need more OT pts. We got Goaltending, Good Defense and better Offense 2nd half. We lost the Season from the 1st half Performance digging us too Deep a whole.
