Tallest to shortest in front of a brick wall! 🧱

The offseason so far - Are the Sabres better?
HILLsabre replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
I think a better, more appropriate question in this point in time is, NOT are they a better team BUT, are they a playoff team. This team could be a lot better than last year AND still miss the playoffs!! My opinion is there is A LOT of work to do for serious playoff contention. The issue is the word SERIOUS when discussing this franchise's brass.🤨 -

Better be one heck of a player....someone who doesn't care about palm trees!!!

Boy, all these teams have a lot of set plays and know what and where each other is at on the ice. It's like they have responsibilities! ....as opposed to pond hockey, run and gun. and done! Wow!

A thing to think about too is the MANY, MANY,(play off intensity) post season games the sabres and their "core" have missed out on over the years. (Compare to upper level teams like the bruins with their core).the number well over 100. These type of games are absolutely invaluable in developing the grit and mindset needed to make the jumps from bottom feeders, to playoff team to real contenders. 14 years of not even a taste is devastating.

So..........?

How would you retool this team this summer?
HILLsabre replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
If it's Adams as GM.... Heck, he's brought in enough "tools"!!!!!!😉 -
I think this is exactly what is going on. (Team was out of playoffs when obtained) BUT, being totally healthy makes him much more valuable in a possible off season trade as well!( Which I think is very much in the cards.)

Just because he's our best doesn't mean he's a true first line forward. He would be on any true contending playoffs team 2nd line. Just saying!

The Buffalo Sabres have officially been eliminated for the 14th season
HILLsabre replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Just trying to make the playoffs cannot be the goal... recipe for mediocrity!! I think this is been big part of the problem here....just do the minimum. -
I wasn't paying close attention... couldn't tell they were even on the power play!!

Hard to believe we don't have anybody in Rochester better than Mule!

Tuch is a second liner on any play off team. You've drank the sabre Kool aid if you believe he belongs on a top line. Don't let the standards slide because this is the best we have now. I like him...just not on the top line of a team going for the cup! -

Nice start....🫣 -
I think Tuch and Zucker make decent 2nd liners, but If Tage is centering top line we need some absolute finish guys on the wings. But My point was we have a lot of young potential line 1/2 guys DOWN the road, but they can't play that 3/4 line skill set now or maybe ever! Kulich, Rousek, Quinn, Kozak, Rosen....Benson and Paterka are far from their potential as well. I agree we know what we have with Cozens. It's time to make some moves! No we can't solve it all tomorrow at the deadline, but get the ball rolling, have a future plan, what are we waiting for?
