thewookie1 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 3 minutes ago, Pimlach said: He could have easily improved on Kebs, Jost, VO, Joker, and the Clifton acquisition … Adams blew the offseason Krebs, Levi, Johnson, Kulich, Rosen should all be in Rochester. They are kids Girgs is best of the bottom tier. Not quite right Joker has been good this year Clifton has been a swing and a miss but wasn’t a bad try to bolster the D. He kicked tires and if they were flat or ridiculous you can’t make that move. Krebs had seemingly begun to round into a solid 4th liner with Okposo and Girgs but seems to have a mental block where he overplays with skilled players but is let down by his lesser line mates on the 4th line. Jost is a JAG but familiarity helps him over other JAG level players. Olofsson is a very great, 1 trick pony who fits the Hoffman type to a T. When Quinn got hurt he held onto Olofsson likely because his value sucked and felt the cost to bring in a new guy was higher than the value he could get from Olofsson. Probably wrong but from a purely asset look it makes a little sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 If Samuelson is back next game. (Which I'm guessing is unlikely) the. Clifton would have sit. He just isn't working out for them. Hopefully some team will be looking for playoff depth and KA can flip him. Or be willing to pay $3 mill for a 7th dman next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ 6 is only a start (Oakie & Z vets, but w Sabres….) Oakie has got to go. He’s a millennial Dad. We need a 1950’s Dad. He’s more acting like a big brother. We need someone to give these kids a kick in the rear. And, while I thank him for his service, Z can go as well. And I don’t want them replaced with Kulich/Rosen/Oslund types. I want mean SOBs. And while we’re at it, maybe package one of them them with Matthias for a mean SOB defensemen. We have a bunch of pussies on D. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJoe Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 It's easy to see in retrospect, I get that, but relying on a 21 year old college goalie and expecting things to change with the UFA's KA signed is ridiculous. KA failed the offseason miserably. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krebs is an AHL player right now Jost is a spare forward JAG VO brings nothing we don’t already have. Clifton was a good try, I like him over Joker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Super Fan Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Another Buffalo Sabres loss to the Lindy Ruff’s New Jersey Devils. The Sabres should never have fired Lindy Ruff that was the beginning of the Sabres downward spiral. I don’t believe in Don Granato I never did because he was a career minor league coach and an assistant to Ralph Krueger. The Sabres are struggling right now with no Tage Thompson. Keep that in mind our best Center and offensive player is injured. I am not saying things would be different but I think it’s not helping not having him in line up. Onto the New York Rangers game on Monday in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) What also hurts is that the Devils were below the Sabres in the standings. I know they were a playoff team last year but they’ve had a rough start. The Devils played hard from puck drop and were winning almost all of the battles. The Sabres were polishing up their participation trophies that KO handed them last night.
