CallawaySabres Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I count only 5 teams in the NHL that are worse off than the Sabres. I seriously ask how this team gets out of the basement.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously ask how this team gets out of the basement.... Since I'm on an optimism bender... We aren't far away from playoff contention. Eichel will come out screaming this year. Hart finalist for sure. Dahlin will take that step and become a game-changer. This one is hard to quantify, but suffice to say, it'll mean wins. Extra time off will work in our favor. Cozens, Thompson, Borgen could all be ready. Joker, Olof will improve. (Speculation territory, so every point here starts with the word IF) We acquire a real 2C, and suddenly, opponents have to account for more than 1 line. We keep Girgs/Larsson, we'll still have a premiere shutdown line to throw at teams. Cozens is ready to provide secondary offense, increasing our non-Eichel-fueled chances to score. We rebalance our defense, so Ristolainen isn't getting crushed for the 100th straight year. So yeah, if 1-2 moves are made, people will see that we weren't so far away, Botterill should created a crater thats made the team so bad the last 2 years.

You guys are measuring different things. It should be easy to get this roster to playoff contention, which Gabrielor emphasizes.

This is a great forum. The threads and discussions are nearly all well thought out and open. And rarely childish. The problem is the source material/team just grates on us over the years and it's the same discussions on repeat. There's still hope, always hope. 1 minute ago, ubkev said: Saw that comin' All too easy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no full stop statement like “not by trading picks” that is applicable. Don’t trade high picks for a sub-optimal return? Of course not.
