Taro T Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 15 minutes ago, dudacek said: Greg Wyshynski picked the Sabres to be the league's most disappointing team this season. Says everyone seems to think they're about to make a step and they aren't. Says Ottawa is top-to-bottom better. He could be right. Doubt he is, but this could be the Sabres take a small step back season before really flying into the fray next year. Still say this team is good for 103.

dudacek Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Oh, i think Ottawa and Buffalo are pick 'em and could be for years to come. I also agree that the Sabres not making the playoffs is entirely possible and will be crushing to the hope Adams has been selling (largely successfully, in my case).

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Nashville sinks to the bottom of the standings quickly and Trotz trades Saros to the Sabres by December. Sabres trade Savoie, UPL, and a 1st for Saros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Someone in the top 6 gets a season ending injury before the end of 2023. Comrie is better this season. Samuelsson takes a step forward in his development. Olofsson is traded before January 30th. One Sabres game is canceled and rescheduled.
