Anybody else feel like Benson is our best forward tonight?

For those of us who don't get MSG, is there a streaming option out there?

Before the camp, I would have said Kulich, but now I lean toward Rosen. For some reason I thought his game looked more rounded.

IDK - no doubt he is a very talented kid with lots of potential. He seems a little too "hot dog" IMHO and I'm not sure he's highly regarded by other players.

Not necessarily, I am just saying that I expect him to stand pat with the current roster vs. acquiring outside talent to replace Quinn (while he is out). I am also saying that if the team falls short on meeting expectations (which should be higher this year), then GMKA is accountable.

"Can" yes....but actually will is doubtful IMHO. GMKA seems content with a "next man up" response vs. some outside options. If goal scoring production drops and goals against does not improve, then he should be held accountable.

Agree with this. My only wish is that we could see NOW what Savoie, Rosen, Kulich, Benson will be 2 years from now....when they should be truly ready for the full rigors of the NHL. They can be a big part of our future success....I just hate that it may still take a year or probably 2 for them to be ready.

White regular road or the white pajamas?

I find this article hilarious on what Buffalo might have done in the 2018 draft it if had a do-over. Terrible assessment. If there was any chance of taking somebody other than Dahlin, I would say Tkachuk, not Svech! https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/redrafting-the-2018-nhl-draft-sabres-take-andrei-svechnikov-hurricanes-nab-brady-tkachuk/

Sorry to see him go, seemed like a good locker room guy who would also keep opposing forwards honest.

IMHO - RJ was the GOAT of play by play....RIP

His expectations may not align with the current market. Maybe GMKA can wait him out and get him on a 1 year deal.

I would not mind seeing a UFA added to reinforce the forward lines in Quinn's absence, but for some reason I feel like GMKA will stand pat with the current roster. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Maybe not a "rule", but would love to see the LTIR loophole modified so that teams can't just stack their teams for the playoffs.

Wondering how much Matt Murray wants to actually play vs. going along with this charade.

Class act. How does this impact or help the B's salary cap???

Miro Satan for Millar and Moore was a great acquisition.

Rinse and repeat. I foresee a 3rd liner with extra PP time. He'll hit 25 goals to help his next UFA contract value with at least 10 of them on the PP. As in the past, no PK time. I don't see a trade due to Quinn's injury plus most teams have no cap.

Is there any kind of metric out there which correlates rebound control to goals against? One of my biggest concerns with UPL is his inability to control rebounds, which seemingly turns into more goals against us vs. other netminders who may be better. No idea if my suspicion is true.

Brayden McNabb.....we already traded Peter way back when and that was a mistake. Trading Brayden was the second time we traded away a McNabb and shouldn't have.

Either that or the market is simply not showing much demand...GMKA won't trade him for a bag of pucks and many teams can't afford him without some Sabres salary retention.

IDK - he's scored about as many goals in 3 years as Mitts has scored in 5+ seasons. Granted Mitts wasn't a 1OA, but still high expectations for a top 10 guy. I consider Byfield a bigger "bust" than Lafreniere for the 2020 draft.

Pretty sure $2.3 is not going to get the job done....he scored 12, 19 and 16 goals his first 3 seasons. He may be on the verge of bigger production as well. They're going to have to do something else to create space.

I would have liked to see some changes for more experienced assistants, but LOYALTY seems to be the theme of this regime. The only way to get new assistants is to fire Granato himself....as I don't see our current assistants going anywhere else (ex. promotions).

I've seen some speculation that he will remain with the Leafs and that they may in turn try to buy out Murray.
