That blows.

Boston isn’t giving up a top 2 spot in the division anytime soon.

Between Kase and Smith that’s two very good additions in the last little while

- Pegullaville

theyll be the first to fade. Marchand, Bergeron, Krecji are all in their mid 30s.

Let me know when we resign Larsson so I can plan the parade

March around the circle in front of city hall ...seems appropriate going in circles!

Another painful reminder: The Sabres have to get better than Toronto, Tampa Bay and Boston in order to guarantee a playoff spot

Any other 4th line players 5th on their team in goal scoring last year?

Good point and I am not even a Girgs fan really but when you can't get players to come here you have to keep the serviceable who fill a role until the draft picks develop and move them out

Oh you mean like a 40 point RFA you have control over? I agree

I agree with you.

However for the next season or two they will be fine.

Good post power:

So far so good. (Not great, not bad)
Pretty early on in the 2020/2021 season

Of course the Sabres are gonna make some splash trade or 2. They have months until next season.

They would need to move a package involving Risto, Monte, or Miller with Mitts, Tage or Picks .
Risto is out because the new Analytics they aren't using show him to be a waste of Money, and the Owner likes him...cute smile and all.

Now, your position of future grades was cited by several last season when they had 13 NHL caliber Dmen on the roster. ... Bogo and Pilut are gone of their own accord (Bogo tried to ROR his way out). For the most part nothing else happened.
I'm not expecting it by any means, and will be surprised if it happens.

If you can point out a 40 point season I'd love to see it and I don't know what KA and Ralph are thinking but 175 pound wingers may not fill the role they are looking for. Mistake? We'll see.

Boston, who’s won a cup, is a constant contender, is trading for two top 6 wingers within a year, signing good UFA’s and in talks for Taylor Hall.

The Sabres, who have missed the playoffs for my entire 20’s don’t wanna rush things

700 grand, great speed who kills penalties well, fills that role that the Sabres sucked at last year. It take a variety of different types of solders

So then what exactly is the significance of Kahun’s weight?

I'm just guessing here but since they are already small in the top 6 - 9 and if you are going to be small you better bring something else to the table (kill penalties, great speed) and play for the minimum.

the sabres had a rough 48 hours and deserve whatever blasting they get


it's really sad watching the few defend what they are doing right now


and I still have no clue why botts got canned, only to move forward with his core, and his prospects

if you are moving ahead with his d, his goalies, for the most part his core up front and banking on his prospects to fill the roster gaps, why did he get canned?

- homiedclown


Was Adams supposed to gut the entire organization in a matter of months?

What exactly were u expecting?
