I think this team needs surgery with a scalpel, no a sledgehammer. I DO believe in making a big trade in the offseason for a top 25 D-man in the league (multiple prospects if that is needed), having Tage, Quinn, Tuch and Cozens fully healthy starting next year (keep Cozens more at wing and keep Tage off of the PK) and hopefully bringing in a highly paid/highly effective assistant specialist to help out. This group of Defensemen is SO YOUNG that they are going to gradually get better as time (seasons) go on. I agree with you. If they bring back DG, which seems likely unless the bottom falls out, I would hope they replace the assistant coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Super Fan Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 (edited) The Buffalo Sabres are too comfortable and too many young players that are running the locker room with little accountability. The Sabres have to get older more experienced players that have grown up. When you have a hockey team that is upset because of Sabres fans booing and chants of fire Don Granato there priorities aren’t in the right place. Newsflash you are losing that is what happens in professional and college sports when you don’t win fans boo and want changes. The Buffalo fans don’t owe you a NHL job with no accountability for your play. This Buffalo Sabres team as it is meaning do nothing in the off season you’re going to get the same results as the last 13 years. Watch some of those Buffalo Sabres shows on the Sabres players you can see the Sabres are more a college frat house playing video games, golfing and screwing around. That needs to change for the Buffalo Sabres too many young players together is a bad idea. With older players that frat house crap won’t be mostly the entire Sabres team as it is now. This Sabres team was doomed from the very beginning too many young players screwing around and living in a fantasy world with no accountability for their bad play night after night. To sum it up the Buffalo Sabres management coddles these players many of them need to go to break up that frat house and fire Don Granato that created that and tolerate that. Don Granato should never have been hired to begin with he was the assistant coach to Ralph Krueger. Too expect a different outcome was very naive. Too many Buffalo Sabres fans put too much hope in Don Granato in my opinion. Go Sabres!

Let’s Go Buffalo I agree DG may be past his usefulness of developing young guys... yes a few really young guys need developing but overall Sabres young vets need a coach who can light a fire... still need a good coach in Rochester... grab Peca back replace Matty Ellis and hire a head coach who can call them out... add a couple of skilled grinders with some angst... lose Skinner however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seer775 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 UPL, Mitts, and JJP are the only reason this team is not 32nd. Mostly UPL. The number of immaculate saves he makes every night is significant. He needs a fat contract ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not shocking results to me. We had a lot of career seasons last year. The team got younger. They did not plan to adequately cover Quinn. The started the year with 3 goalies, which meant no goalie. They didn’t prepare to come out and win and they surprised no one. And yes, a few other nagging injuries that every team deals with.

Let’s Go Buffalo As long as you admit the older guys - skinner , Tuch and Tage are the biggest reason they are 10 points out. Avg seasons by the 3 and they are right in the mix.

Crusader1969 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Assuming there are no changes to the top 9. I think this is my line up for next season line 1 JJ. Cozens. Quinn line 2. benson. Tage. Mitts Line 3. Greenway. Krebs. Tuch 13th forward - skinner 4th line- Robinson & 2 other energy guys willing the play heavy and forecheck like crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
