The year we drafted Grigs and Girgs, we could have drafted Wilson and Vaselevskiy. Of course, it’s all hindsight but got to believe it’s a totally different franchise if we had picked those two.

Is anyone else surprised that no Sabre has ever led the league in even-strength goals? Mogilny had 76 but Selanne had 76 same year. Gare hit 50, can’t imagine many were PP goals. Of all the criminal offenses committed by this team this year, and yeah, there were a lot, one at the top of the list has to be Thompson with 37 ES goals and 7 (!) PP goals! Someone needs to be fired for that alone.

Odds of missing the playoffs 14 years in a row (this of course eliminates any factor other than the math involved in 16 teams out of 32 making the playoffs in a given year): 0.006%. Let that sink in for awhile. *Math is 0.5 to the 13th power times 100.

Is Nashville going to tear it down? What would it take to obtain Soros?

Ullmark with 48 saves and Cozens with the game winning goal. I know it’s been forever but I think the Sabres may be turning the corner!

Take a look at the 2020 - 2021 Sabres roster. Eichel, Reinhart, Thompson up front, Dahlin, Risto, McCabe, Montaur backline, Ullmark and UPL in goal. Tell me that if that team stayed together with some tweaks, it would be at a minimum a playoff team, maybe a legitimate Cup contender. (I know, dozens of reasons that didn’t happen). Moral of the story? There shouldn’t be anything done with this roster going into next year other than some tweaks - re-sign Zucker and Greenway, dump Mattias, Joker and Bryson, for God’s sake find a veteran, physical RHD to pair with Power, if possible find a vet playmaking center, move Cozens to wing, give Cozens and Quinn next year to show they are viable NHL’ers.

Waive him and let him play in Rochester. Nobody in their right mind is going to claim him and if they do, problem solved. Get a bad contract off the books without a buyout.
