Blew that last year staying put and adding Clifton and Eric Johnson. Lost all Collateral we built doing that and Regressing. Have to live with that and Build Collateral again. That means using Kulich and Savoie at Center or giving in on a Trade using them. Guarantee Adams said NO when their names were brought up

Have to rely on Amerks players coming up or why do we have them?????? Can't keep waiting or make the Trade. Kulich and/or Savoie need to get traded with next years picks

Nothing wrong with Tuch Tage Peterka 2nd half of season Quinn getting hurt and poor Skinner play destroyed Second Line. Add to that losing Middlestat I see nothing wrong with going with Tuch Tage Peterka or Tuch Tage Benson Quinn Kulich Cozens or Quinn Cozens Peterka Of course it would be great to get a Nick Foligno or Sam Bennett Granto and Adms ruined Top 6 by emphazing Defense and then Quinn going down. Didn't help Tage/Tuch missed games More likely Tage gets 40+ Peterka gets 30+ Tuch gets 30+ Quinn 20+ Cozens 25+ Benson 20+

Well, 2022-2023 went Ok. But why the Hell would you change what you did and not build on it the next year? He deserved to get fired and so did Adams for not changing the team and getting better at scoring, not regressing He didn't even shore up the Goaltending. It just kind of happened on its own Adams finely beefed up Defense after botching it with Eric Johnson Problem is he got another Left handed Dman. That now forces Dahlin and Power together.

NO, why the Bills have success is Josh Allen. Dished Diggs and we shall see what the Bills do this year. I think Josh gets better. Why Sabres will be better is Ruff and Dahlin/Power. Ruff knew what to do with Briere and Drury, then Hasek. You can see Ruff wants both Grinding type players and scorers. Said, in todays Hockey world you have to play fast and you have to know when to slow things down. That means, get a Lead and Hold it. Pegula signs Paychecks for BOTH Clubs, you see his Vision, Granto blew it

9 Zach Benson – 93 Matt Savoie – 49 Filip Cederqvist https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-prospects-notebook-zach-benson-matt-savoie-showcasing-chemistry Matt Savoie showed why he could be a prime candidate for a Sabres roster spot this season after tallying a pair of highlight-reel worthy goals in a 6-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens in the Sabres’ first Prospects Challenge game Friday evening at LECOM Harborcenter. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-prospects-challenge-win-over-montreal-matt-savoie The Sabres top pick in 2022 had an advantage over most of the players on both clubs, playing all night with junior linemate Zach Benson. The chemistry and familiarity between the two was apparent on most shifts. https://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/savoie_among_three_stars_for_sabres_at_prospect_challenge/s1_17253_39264780 If there’s a positive sign toward the future of the Sabres, Savoie’s 71 points in 34 WHL games this past season are a good hint that he may be ready to jump right to the NHL. https://buffalohockeynow.com/2024/05/08/sabres-grades-prospects-and-depth/

They got Muscle and they still have the Speed and more from the Amerks. Bills got to Playoffs after 17 years with Tyrod Taylor Pegula was the Owner everyone was screaming at then too!

Florida has Sabres South and they are Cup winners. Also, Great Weather

Have a Large Family

Trying to pick you up! All Ruff has to do is get in the Playoffs that accepts half the Teams Please don't jump off the Bridge 🙃

In 1000 Islands on St Lawrence River

Try working on a 4 Million Dollar Lab that went down in a Electrical Storm and the Dean of a University Codes on a Room. You have to get the System back up or the Man will Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WON!!!!!!!!!!

I retired after 35 years as a Service Engineer on CardioVascular Labs, Catscans, Radiation Therapy and all Xray Imaging Equipment These are Multi-Million Healthcare Imaging Machines that save lives. Worked for Siemens and Philips, also direct for Strong Memorial (U of R) Guarantee you my Troubleshooting on High Tech, Mechanical, Software are some of the Best in the Business. I was the Top Cardio-Vascular guy in Western, Central and Upstate NY till I retired. Also for Philips was the Cardiovascular Specialist in Eastern NY, NH, VT and Maine. Dartmouth Hitchcock and U of Vermont Fletcher Allen had both 60 Million Contracts that I led a Team of guy for 5 years installing all new Imaging Equipment in both Hospitals. You can't run with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both played on the same Team in 2022-23. Savoie was the Center and Benson Winger. Patrick said they were the best Tandem he has seen. Wasn't just a couple games, 34.

I have a Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amerks went two the Playoffs two years in a row with these guys Sabres went HOME

You will never know if they are Ready sitting in Rochester and new Minor leaguers are coming up. Soon you will see players going back into Drfat cause they can go nowhere in Sabres Organization. Players drafted will refuse to sign. At a point Sabres need to know if they have NHLer's. If they keep waiting, no one will ever want to come to Buffalo. Trade them away for guys ready then. Better than sitting in the Amerks for 3-5 years Go on hating them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year after missing Playoffs by 1 point everyone was calling to bring Team back as is and just get Top 4 RW Defense and a Goalie I was getting screamed at for saying I wanted Okposo, Girg gone and a Top 6 WInger. Funny after it went bad who forgets what they were saying last year. Everybody was calling for Savoie to stay with Sabres to avoid Minors. Calling for Kulich to come up to. We brought 3-4 good players instead of Last years Bottom 6 group. We have Top 5 we built last 2-3 years. Not crazy to bring up Amerks who are more Ready then Quinn and Peterka were 3 years ago. Sabres can make Trades with these players at any time if needed. Sink or Swim. These players need to play well now or get traded. New guys coming up the Pipeline!!!!

Benson was Savoie's Center in the Minors and Benson jumped from Minors right to the Sabres. Savoie now has 3 great Seasons down in the Minors. Don't see it as a Stretch he makes Roster, not 100% though. Kulich is labeled a Center in Amerks Roster, Not listed at all as Winger. He is a True Center and will be one. Even Appertt has said he is Projected to Sabres as Center. Lafferty also is on Roster and Adams said he is a Center for 3/4th Line. Amerks need room for their new Center too, 1st pick of this Draft. Kulich is making the Sabres Roster for sure. No reason like Quinn and Peterka to leave him down there. Do better learning from Ruff and Appertt at the Sabres then new AHL Coach Amerks to play with Sabres: Obviously Levi, Ryan Johnson, Kulich, Rousek and Savoie (Minors) If they don't make Roster then they will be in a Trade for a 3rd Line center

No Cozens doesn't belong on Third line but he might be a Winger. Play with Benson, Kulich as Centers 2nd/3rd lines. Benson Centered for Savoie Maybe a 2nd line Center brought in on Trade. Sabres really don't need Wingers Every Center drafted/traded for by Sabres can play Winger except Krebs. Krebs needs to go. Go with now on Roster, we really have too much talent in Amerks not to bring people up. Ruff did well in NJ with young Talent. Tuch Tage C Peterka (Would not play with this line) Quinn Kulich C Cozens Malenstyn Benson C Savoie or Zucker Greenway Lafferty C Zucker or Aube-Mitchell depending on Team played This is a way better Veteran Line then Last year! Backup: Rousek Savoie might be in Amerks but I think his scoring ability is enticing on 3rd line and with Benson again. Malenstyn makes sure those guys don't get messed with and drives to Net

I think 2/3 Center is more the Must. We have Savoie, Rosen, Kulich, Rousek and even Benson who can play on 1st and second line I would leave Top line last year as Tuch Tage Peterka. I was thinking Peterka can go to 2nd line again but say No now. Top line must come out Firing!!!!! Has to set the pace and Peterka is a Sure thing for 30 is he stays there and Healthy. That line was good 2nd half of Season. I like a trade for guy like Scott Laughton for 3rd line Center Even OK with a trade with Cozens swap Centers, add a Prospect to entice or a Top 2nd line Center and move Cozens to Wing. Tuch Tage Peterka Quinn Kulich C Cozens, they can swap at times Cozens and Kulich at Center if stalling Malenstyn Benson C Zucker Benson Centered for Savoie, can see Savoie here next year! Greenway Lafferty C Rousek (Savoie?) Backups: Aube-Kubel and Krebs If we make a trade for 2/3rd line Center GREAT Rousek bumps to backup and Krebs is Gone! If Quinn stalls you can bring up Savoie at some point. Quinn is 100% Healthy he goes nowhere. Also Savoie may beat out Rousek on third line.

Yes and I am Optimistic 2-3 Winger/C Amerks are Ready to come up. Almost sure Johnson comes up and Levi definitely is. Not talking about them.

And yet even Last year we Crushed many Top Teams in games. Even beat the Kraken. Goaltending and Not Replacing Quinn and Samuelsson killed us, that is Adams Fault. Eric Johnson was a Mess but I understand the pickup. This D is NOT soft. It is Dangerous with good scoring Forwards. Last year wasn't a Waste. We learned to play D and got Great Goaltending in the Second half. Lindy Ruff is someone I have watched since late 70's as a Player, then HC! The guy knows what he is doing and can toughen up some of the players. He also has been gone 10 years and learned a few new tricks. I could go back and look but I am sure your one of the People claiming Krebs was great and we needed Okposo and Girgenson back. Losing Oloffson alone betters this Team Levi is Ready just in case

And UPL/Levi leading the way Power, Dahlin, Byram, Samuelson healthy and together for the First time Like to trade Joki for a Top 4 Defensive D man on the right side for Byram. I like Dahlin and Powers together, Pair you can put on anyone! Samuelson and Ryan Johnson would be a good 3rd pairing Clifton 7th D, you can move Power to Left if someone gets injured
