Oh boy.....

The "problem" is the Sabre's unfortunately aren't close to being a Stanley cup contender roster wise. Why is the goal being lowered to "just making the playoffs?" If this is the goal now, then some more moves by Adams should be made NOW and the heck with thinking 2-3 years down the road.(Young prospects might need to be sacrificed ) If your goal is to contend for the cup and go deep in the playoffs, Tage and Tuch aren't both going to be playing on the top line when that happens. Line 2 is realistic. Presently IMHO we don't have a REAL first line. We're 2 elite wingers short with this young, present roster. This will take more than a season. So back to my question, what's the goal...right now, what's the goal?

Well, it's way too early, but....Utah ahead of us? Really? The claim is Buffalo just hasn't done enough this off-season considering all the pressure to win now. Hmmmmm. Think I've heard this somewhere!!!https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/40509506/nhl-power-rankings-2024-2025-best-teams-standings-free-agency-trades-draft

I'd love to get a true, proven 1c, Ryan O'Reilly type for at least 2/3 years and move Thompson and Cozens down to 2c and 3c. Krebs 4c or trade him.

II haven't contributed/responded on sabrespace since Lindy being let go and the ushering in of the now famous Tank/Rebuild. I'm excited about the hire and look forward to Lindy's footprint on this team...Figuratively and perhaps literally?? I'm back with Lindy!!
