Man that ice surface looks so big!!!

Hate the “rotational” approach….leave it to the Sabres to take something simple and make it complex. What’s next to come, the return of the 3 goalie rotation?

Have the boys grown a set???

I love the new vet line…very hard working and business like…I hope they stay together.

Two bad giveaways by Byram so far.

Great, now just waiting to hear that Muel and Quinn getting hurt in 3-2-1…..go! 😫

Can he play on the top 6? 🙃

Incredibly sad news. Killed by a drunk driver.....disgusting. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/nhl-player-johnny-gaudreau-brother-matt-gaudreau-killed-by-suspected-drunk-driver-in-nj-police-say/3956186/

GMKA likes to shop at Kohl's when they have 50% off their clearance merchandise.....but backed off when he found out Zadina was an exclusion. Seriously though, you're right....and we remain unconvinced he's going to do anything else to improve the team.

GMKA's denial of this need is sickening. I also cannot get past the notion that injuries will also hamper our existing "Top 6" goal scoring.

More changes still needed. Top 6 and a better/grittier RHD stay at home type to finish the off-season. Kreb’s and Joki can still be used as trade bait (along with picks and prospects).

I like the bottom “3” additions along with McLeod. The concern I have is who in our bottom 6 can jump up to the top 6 when Quinn or TT gets hurt again? I know Benson or Zucker are possibilities to play top 6 or flex up, but who else?

Lindy is better choice than Meatballs, but I would have preferred a true outsider coming in and bringing his own choices for assistants. The Sabres needed to jettison ALL of their previous coaching staff.

Casey’s new contract is $5.75, not 7.0 mill

If this is still reasonably accurate, then $4.75 per year is roughly 20th in the league as far as AAV. Seems reasonable to me for a 25 year old with his prime years ahead. https://frontofficesports.com/the-25-highest-paid-nhl-goaltenders/

I don't doubt that he's a good guy, but IMHO his play by play is really bad. Just try following the on-ice play without benefit of a television (i.e. radio only - good luck with that). The Sabres organization is content with mediocrity, whether it is the media (DD, no SOG counter, etc.) and also the national anthem singers....they're all pretty mediocre at best....and often worse than that.

I like Karri, but 5 more years is too long for a player of his age.

He fills an immediate need or two (PK, defensive focus and speed). Sure it might be an overpay, but we did not have enough of this kind of player (whereas other teams have more of this already on their rosters).

You don’t think Trouba brings any leadership qualities?!?! Joki certainly doesn’t

Matt Ellis is not coaching the powerplay 😁

I hope that PLD has another one of his selfish little hissy fits and wrecks the Caps locker room. Washington can then choke on his remaining 7 year contract at >$8 million per season.

I hope it is Lindy influence. Otherwise I don’t trust anybody in the Sabres organization to have realized this need on their own. They thought they could win with just “finesse” and sadly would still be soft without Ruff.

Little Caesars actually (pan style)

Whether they were doable last offseason or not, Meatballs would have never approved.

Thanks….one thing I cannot figure out yet is whether one is better than the other at offensive zone entries or not. Something I’d like to see the Sabres get better at is controlling the puck crossing the blue line….hoping the Helenius has that ability.
