I don't disagree at all

Bylsma also needs to recognize that his no. 1 center is Eichel, and his no. 1 line his jack's line...that line should be the first one on the ice, not the third
- Michael Pachla

Agreed. When it's time for the postseason for this team we need 3 lines and a strong top 4. Need some moves this offseason

all those injuries agreed with one another?
- Khmylev

huh?

he completely flipped his depth chart...there was a time when the sabres had a decent group of d-men but didn't have much up front, and that includes the center position...

their center position is talented and deep, probably deeper than the drury/briere seasons, and the forward ranks are solid and developing depth...however, it came at a price, and that was the defense, which I assume murray will begin to address further this off season
- Michael Pachla

There hasn't been much evidence to suggest he'll be able to do this successfully

they're close in that regard if guhle can contribute next season...

and I like their forward depth...

moving dead weight will be key

we'll see how much the expansion draft affects things

It's amazing how the Pens turned it around quickly after his departure. Just sayin
- lulags

They fired another coach between Bylsma and the current one they have.

GMTM mentioned about 2 months ago, that the kuilkov situation couldn't be worse.. came in late to camp bc of world cup. Then had an absurdly fluke injury and has been playing hurt ever since. Also mentioned it's been so bad he cant even evaluate his play regarding resigning him.

Imo i liked the trade at first but agree it's been a terrible situation for 77 and the sabres
- yen6d1

Franson had vertigo or something weird like that last year....
these arent stubbed toes, they're serious injuries. i know "good teams play through injuries" but injuries are definitely a problem with this team. How the coach manages them is another...
...people seem to think GMTM was supposed to know these injuries were coming.

- Michael Pachla

Im sure it will to some extent.

That is the WILD card for sure

I think Hitch would be a good fit in Buffalo. Not sure if he wants to come back?

Sorry, keep Lehner

Michael Pachla for GM! There will be a Stanley Cup in the main lobby of the KeyBank Center with him in charge.

If youre vegas and you have the option of:
Ennis, Bogo, moulson, ullmark

Is there any chance you bite on any of the first three?

Warren Beatty is confused.

Homie : take him behind the shed

Funny how that works isn't it ?

only if you've figured out your goaltending option. its why i wouldnt be opposed to using a protection spot on carrier and trading ullmark or even trading both really. Force Vegas to take something you're trying to get rid of.

- Sabresfan-365

this is what i was getting at. Is there a way we can trap vegas into taking one of those players? Say we protect jake, risto and falk...

injury to key players like eichel sure but we've seen this team play full strength and still not be very good. I get the blueline has had injuries but two things stick out for me.

a)most of the lapses are mental, just poor decision making.
b) you could easily make the case that we'd be a better team if you took two of these guys out and subbed in guhle and fedun.

Again?
- walshyleafsfan

Yep. All Doom and gloom here

huh?
- seedy

serious injury problems that concurred after we acquired them

My thoughts exactly.

If we get Sergachev for Kane ..



Trade deadline won lol
