Hire a first time coach
Trade sam for futures
Trade risto for futures
Sign drake
Let ullmark walk
Let mccabe walk

Dangle an inspired captain this off season


WHY havent we singned anyone good?

Really?

Anyone disappointed isnt paying attention
- Boss34

With the Sabres history of landing the big FA fish, even if they’re going for an SC I want no one activity.

So to recap

We signed Pit Stick, Bugsy Malone, Davidson, Vinnie boom bots and traded for a Butcher.

I'm satisfied.

Nope he shoots right
- Stripes77

Oh, cool that’s helpful. And he was a steadying presence to young guys when he was here according to Hamilton.

Also a RHD man
- Stripes77

did he smile on his mower when he signed it?

I am an optimist too but FFS how do you see this team as better? Lost our best
Player last year in rhino, our starting goalie, hell we have NO goalies right now.

I don’t know if we get 10 regulation wins
- hehateme

I'll give you the loss of Reinhart, that sucks. Hopefully Cozens and Mittelstadt continue to progress under Donny. With Ullmark he was hurt the whole time under Granato. I think they can find a better goalie than Tokarski. Hopefully no eakin or okposo. It helps tremendously that they don't have risto anymore

Okposo is actually fine in the role they play him, which just stinks because that role is not a $6 million role.

The Sabres signed a hybrid forward/ Dman for 900k and he's still better than Ramus Ristolainen

he played better under Don

as most others did

- Punch70

Yeah Ullmark was hurt. How did that work out for us? I think we had like 7 goalies play for us last year. Now we have no goalies.

7 wins in regulation. That is my prediction if we have a tokarski type starter.

Here are the "biggest fish" we have landed recently in FA:

Taylor "2 goals in 37 games" Hall
Marcus "Traded for Eric Staal" Johansson
Kyle "6M 4th Liner" Okposo
Ville "It felt like Jail" Leino


Maybe we should keep out of free agency all together.

Serious question. If the Sabres can't field a a NHL Roster how in the hell are they gonna field a AHL and ECHL Roster?
- c1067

We will field and ahl in Buffalo, an echl team in Rochester and have local tryouts in Cincy for the actual echl team

That was my point. You just actually conveyed it when I swung and missed.

Thank you for translating GCOM to an actual language others can understand.

Christian erhohfff. Are we still paying for him too?

Surprised you aren't disappointed

Bringing in 5'9 forwards, 5'10 defensmen and famously tough Mark Pysyk back into the fold
- sbroads24

Good post

Finding cheap tough guys is fairly easy compared to signing quality guys like prysk and caggiula.

😀😀😀

Risto wasnt fighting
Sam was soft
McCabe was broken constantly

- gcomella34

Absolutely agree


Sure, add at the deadline like tampa.

But draft your core
Try and retain your core

- IndianaSabresFan

It was a compliance buyout so it doesn't count against the cap but I'm pretty sure Pegula has to pay that thing out for a few years still lmao.

seems like a few fans don’t know how a tank works?
if you’re having trouble with the sabres embracing the suck this year….take a look at the division they play in and then maybe grow up lol.

I just don’t know what they are going to do in goal. You can’t have UPL in Buffalo this season full time.

- sbroads24

We should flip him really quick for a 1st in the high teens, a future 2nd in a loaded draft and a viable nhl defenseman with similar grit.

Quick

Pysyk is another smart signing. Caggiula, Hinostroza, Pysyk all cheap short term guys with decent advanced stats. Refreshing that we're not signing Eakin types.

💯

Save some cap room for the TDL to get some assets when a team needs a cap dump so they ca acquire a rental for their playoff run.

Using this logic - that the trade return dictates how good a player is

Ryan O'Reilly wasn't very good, correct?

In a busy day of posting, this is near the top 👊

- jimmy mcnaulty

We’re Buffalo fans, we are well trained in the tank. We’re worried coming out of it they screw it up again. Field a team , don’t lose on purpose. That’s a terrible culture.

4 years and 5 million on the surface seems steep for Ullmark. Any insight you all may be able to provide on him and that contract? I don’t watch much of the Sabres.
- RickJames77

he’s hurt all time time and we’re tanking..enjoy!
