Does that include Skinner's buyout?

I gotta wonder what Alex Tuch is thinking so far. I can’t believe he is impressed enough to want to consider any long term extension, but rather hoping GMKA sending him elsewhere before next season.

He’s too busy looking for another RHD

Maybe the guy they fired wanted to finally show SOG’s on the MSG broadcast….but the team felt that would be too critical. 🙃

Maybe the arena needs new seats?

Maybe that’s why the refs call stupid penalties on him and don’t call the ones they should. Zach deserves better, but the refs never give him a fair shake.

But….are they that much tougher (so far)? Kesselring and Doan may help, but I’m not sure I’m seeing enough otherwise to convince me the change is enough. I get that JJP didn’t bring any grit and that his absence makes it possible to add somebody still, but it hasn’t happened yet IMHO. When you are the softest team in the entire league, we need more toughness….a LOT more

We desperately need guys who are truly hard-wired to play this style…not hoping that they can be “coached” to play this way. Maybe Kevyn really did watch the playoffs this year. My sarcastic side hopes this current Sabres’ regime doesn’t try to neuter his aggression.

Don’t forget Kieber, taken in 2024 draft as well.

The Sabres organization will try to rehabilitate him into a Lady Byng candidate.

Adams trying to negotiate the purchase of an automobile is every car salesman’s dream. He has no finesse to gain any leverage. He is limited to playing checkers when all other GM’s are playing 4D chess.

So what are you doing with Malenstyn and Lafferty?

I was hoping Mrtka might play more angry than Krupp…oh well!

Any opinions out there on how Mrtka might compare to Adam Kieber?

If it’s Emily Kaplan, then take it with a grain of salt.

As long as he’s taller than 5-9 please, preferably at least 6 foot or taller

Please help me remember if Buffalo would have drafted 7th or 8th before the stupid lottery?

I forgot, what does EEE stand for?

I wanted a bigger and tougher team. This trade helps.

Objectively….is Rossi that much better than Ryan McLeod?

Josh Doan willing to stand up for a teammate....

I think Quinn was a complete failure it multiple ways last season. He will also never be a guy you want in your foxhole if a scrum ensues on the ice. That said, I think he has more hockey IQ than JJP and that the organization is counting on him for more goals (to make up for JJP's departure). I sure as hell don't know what to expect from him next season, but I do expect to see him on the roster. In GMKA's mind, Quinn's price tag will still be cheap enough.

I hope this is true...a team that doesn't have each other's back is a bad stink that haunts this franchise like no other.

I don't want Muel either, but my guess is that he is still the "plan" as far as Dahlin's partner. Byrum hopefully gets moved for a top 6 forward. Muel stays because GMKA basically denied a buyout is happening and nobody will otherwise trade for his contract. That said, I hope somehow Muel gets a lobotomy and starts playing with more grit and jam.

Something that is below the radar to me is Bertnard-Docker. I'd like to see a bigger sample of him....as I didn't hate what little I saw last season. He should still be cheap as an RFA. I won't be surprised to see Clifton gone at the deadline (if not before).
