IDK - they’re not saying anything that isn’t already plainly obvious to Tuch and his agent IMHO.

Can he also play as a RHD? 🙃

Who else in the organization would take over as Director of Player Development (assuming he is permanently relieved of his duties)?

IMHO - the team still needs a player who is a puck handler capable of gaining access to the offensive zone. We can't rely on dump and chase to reacquire possession and then setup, but rather somebody who can maintain possession getting over the blue line.

I wish they could do a secret and confidential polling of the players to get their grades of this putrid FO.

I might be in the minority, but I still consider him more of a winger than a center. I think the team really needs him to hit the 20g minimum mark to make enough of an impact, which IMHO his shot is good enough to do. That being said, I'd still like to see the team make a deal to get a 2C.

The Sabres will be moving their games to old Highmark (Rich Stadium) since the Bills won’t be using it after this upcoming season. (Kidding of course)

Purely wishful thinking, but how about Marcus Foligno’s dad Mike? He may have been considered an added player after Dale McCourt, but he was the best part of that historic trade. Maybe Doan can surprise us with his scoring and leadership???

I would not want to work in the Sabres season ticket office….how do you sell tickets with no excitement?!?! Pegula can fire his entire Marketing staff since they have nothing to do.

I know these are all player moves, but my vote for worst move was to hire GMKA.

So no Eric Staal in the room….or did I miss seeing him? I guess he wasn’t important enough to be there or that he himself didn’t want to attend?

Seems like a logical assumption….since that is how the Bills are supposedly structured (McDermott direct to Pegula).

Unless GMKA has Tuch, Dahlin or TNT telling him otherwise, I think he’s done. Getting Tuch extended could be his next priority.

Yes….looking down the road a few years, a right defense group that includes Mrtka, Bedkowski and I’ll add Kleber from last year’s draft looks solid and difficult to play against. I am not overlooking Kesselring either, who I hope will bring some snarl that we need right now.

But.....what competent GM would want to come work for Pegula? Hence, Pegula is still the problem.

IMHO he has leverage with Columbus. He can go to the KHL otherwise.

Can he play RHD?

Maybe they should convert him to a top 6 forward and see what he can do.

He’ll only come over if you tell him that he doesn’t have to spend any money to buy a bottle of wine to bring with him to dinner.

And who is the president of the Sabres hockey ops? Answer: Terry Pegula

Maybe Kevyn’s next tunnel vision project (besides loading up on RHD’s) is to obtain players with the same last name of former well known NHLers? After MacTavish, he can try to get a Domi, Bertuzzi or even better a Tkachuk! 😁 All joking aside….I would not mind seeing this trade scenario happen.

Robertson staying in Dallas?

Thanks for this info. Wondering if you have the time or ability to factor out PP points for any of these players. I am assuming McLeod has limited PP time and that his points are mainly even strength, but if other guys on this list had PP minutes, maybe their points totals reflect that? Maybe not, just wondering to myself.

Not trying to be an a$$, but can this group actually play DEFENSE well in our own zone? No doubt it is a highly talented group, but I wonder if it still has enough snarl, physicality and a defense first mentality. I hope they prove me wrong. Also, somebody please fire Wilford in a rocket off into the sun

So by default would the timid ones be: Muel, Power, McLeod, Quinn, Kulich?, Bryson Uncertain to me (timid or pack runner): Byram, Timmins Hopefully the new names added to the pack guys will make a difference….as that group outnumbers the “timid” guys that I think are there.
