Crusader1969 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 This is his change. Hope he takes the bull by the horn and never sees Rochester again though, truth is, even if he plays lights out - he will be sent back when Comrie is healthy For better or worse , it’s all about next season or the year after for the Sabres 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of a move to help out with the injuries to the D makes me think Adams wants 1 more high as possible draft pick in 2023 heck, to have Bryson, Fitz and Pilut make up 5-8 going into the season makes me think he was looking at the draft before the season started 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Development and trying to succeed are not mutually exclusive. You can try to develop a young team, giving minutes to younger players vs. veterans, and letting the young guys play through some mistakes, and STILL try to win games. Despite the current horrid losing streak, I think that's where the Sabres are. They are not tanking with the goal of landing a high draft pick. Despite the losing streak, I do think this team has enough talent (at least when all of the injured defensemen are back) to finish in the .500 range and be in the middle of the pack. That likely puts them on the outside looking in for the playoffs, but would still be their best record in years and would represent an upward trajectory. But what do I know? Just my personal opinion based on what I have seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving Anderson 3 starts out of 4 and 3-1/2 games out of 4 is a good start towards getting Subban or Hauser in the B&G before the calendar flips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, its easy, win a few games when everythings wrapped up at the end of the year Then you talk about momentum carrying over to next seasons and some plus side from the youth Get a high pick in the draft and talk up the development of some players and Buffalo fans will be counting down the time til next season starts and they can do it over again..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quint Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 Anyone who gets a nickname like UPL, 6K, GMTM etc. etc. before they achieve anything all turn out to be failures. Maybe premature nicknames are destructive and gives the player or coach a false sense of achievement. Don't nickname people until they're consistently good.

Okay, you write out Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen everytime. I'll keep writing UPL thank you very much! 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
