Every single player botts traded for ...... magically pooped the bed

Pre Sabres. Miller. Sheary. Berglund vesey montour were all decent to good players for the roles they were brought in for

They come here and all suck and have below career years.

So those players who had decent analytics and stats. Magically sucked.

So who knows. At the time of the trades. We were all fine with the moves. (Yes even ROR )

Are you new to Sabres hockey?
Been this way for decades, literally decades.
It is God's Waiting Room for hockey players.

Holy poop!
Yup, sit down a top 5 player, all to just be Cap Compliant

BrisBois: Ummmm, say Nikita....so, we are going to need to schedule you for hip surgery cause we need to shelf your $9.5m Cap hit this season so we can sign Cirelli.

Kucherov: Ok, no problem Julian....do you need to maybe schedule another surgery...say heart surgery in case I heal from the 1st too fast? I'm happy to do boss.

Kucherov has dirty on-ice tendencies. I won't call him dirty in the Claude Lemieux/Dale Hunter vein but he takes liberties that go unpunished. He needs to pay a price for his actions.

He drafted Mittelstadt and Cozens in back to back years.

It’s not like he wasn’t trying.

Like I said I agree with the long term vision but he bungled the short term

Fast, North/South...that is what I heard, about the same as GMTM and 30 other GMs

Only a matter of time before Byfield moves up off the 4th line. He’s been very noticeable.

Cozens, Dach, Quinn look much better this period.

Why doesn't the NHL just adopt a luxury tax/soft cap?

It would help revenue sharing and operating losses. Plus it would end the shady, unnecessary BS from the haves while helping the have-nots. This league is 10 years behind every other

That three game set against the Devils in April will determine whether we're playing Meaningful Games in May™️

Might as well revert back to the AHL for Buffalo Hockey. Sabres would become the unofficial development team for the likes of Toronto, Rangers, Canadians, etc.

Compete every 30, 40 years. Wait, maybe that wouldn't be so bad.

Would be quite a climb out of a hole after starting say 1 - 9

Eh, idk. I think Pegula would always shell out for premium talent

- soljor09

He was tracking the Pegula jet when we were courting Hall, which was illegally crossing international borders and when we signed him, Gerbe came on and said the Pegulas were his "family" and we should stop talking bad about them and that he got caught dropping info on here because the site is being watched and rode a cock off into the sunset.

This prompted Hall, once signed, to post a video saying he never left Canada-land and the jet was a decoy used as a smokescreen even though he ended up actually signing.

He gave himself a perma-ban.

Yeah but Did nothing special there - just passed it back to point and drysdale scored on a 55 ft screened wrist shot

I like Quinn’s forecheck- he’s aggressive. Needs to fill out though way too skinny at this point for the NHL

Feel bad for the kid.

Dream all your life of playing in this tournament and then that happens in a pre-tournament game.

Quinn has had good defensive zone awareness as well.

Would have liked him to show a little more offensively given the fact he was in that top line spot with Cozens and Dach.

Will be interesting to see how they adjust with Dach out

Good. The silliness of those replays was ridiculous. It was like analyzing the zapruder film

The Zapruder film has better resolution than those blueline cameras.

Looked composed. Stopped a few odd man rushes and a partial breakaway.

Ended the night with a shutout.

So id say pretty good
