If it gets us a D-man, fine. I’m still ridding us of Olofsson’s lack of defensive play if possible. In our current system he is an anchor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 The utopia of endless depth and seamless prospect promotion is as unattainable as ever.

As bad as this is, Devon Levi would be absolutely devastating news. Need to keep building good depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Best case is that he heals fully, gets his wind and timing back by February or so and can contribute down the stretch and in the playoffs. I would expect the Sabres to be smart about this and not rush him back. 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I am readying, be a year for full recovery. Quinn isn't at his peak yet. He can't play at 90%. Thompson moved to wing to play at 80%, Top 10 Center now. This is Bad news. Krebs can't fill winger role either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to go and pay big bucks for a FA just so the Sabres have Quinn's 1-2 month absence covered? IMHO that simply doesn't make much, if any, sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think id rather plan for longer and eat some money than keep VO, or put an inexperienced player in a position they aren't prepared for. I don't think you need to look at the top of the free agent bucket, but i think the team also could use a compher type in the bottom 6 anyway.

I don’t see the ceiling others do with Peterka but he’s certainly got legitimate top 6 upside. Savoie/Kulich. Who knows. Need to see more of them. I do like Savoie stylistically, reminds of Briere somewhat. The only one I see as a sure sure thing (star wise) is Quinn. I’ve said before I think he has a good shot at being our best forward in a couple years. We ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas fans were worried about it before he was traded. But doesn't seem like we've had any issues with it. He’s still considered a good skater with speed, so it doesn’t appear as though the injury caused any issues. But as someone pointed out, not all achilles injuries are the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
