some fans are so delusional…imagine trading away your 2 best forwards and then wondering why we didn’t make a splash in free agency.

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

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

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.

the tank didn’t work. adding Hall & Staal didn’t work. the division is stacked. back to the drawing board.

I actually like it, the Amerks were complete garbage last year and UPL was getting lit up like a Christmas tree.

Now he should have some decent defensemen as he is Rochester's work horse.

Let him keep developing down there

They still need to ice a team that is cap compliant.

Problem is upl currently is the best goalie we have under contract. I know there is time still but he needs to be in rochester

The Sabres need to get a real NHL goalie

The kids playing in Buffalo can't be losing 6-2 every night, but UPL is certainly not ready for that and having him play with those kids and losing 3 or 4 to 2 isn't good for a young goalies confidence either

They need a couple sacrificial lambs

Maybe Terry wants UPL in Buffalo though

RFA’s and two goalies. it’ll add up quick..and you can always take on a rotten contract to get over the edge. i wouldn’t worry about it lol.

They're getting closer

Dahlin, Joker, Casey and Asplund should make up close to that

I would be okay with Dubnyk for a year, UPL in Buffalo is a bad idea

SO wait, were worried about UPL, but not about Cozens, Dahlin, Mitts, Power if he's here, etc.

Shouldn't all these kids not be here?

Sabres will more than likely get Borgen back thru waivers if they want him

Goalies are a much different breed. Young goalies can fall apart like nothing

Look at Carter Hart...and UPL is not ready

Cozens, Dahlin, and now Mitts have shown they are ready

Remember when we rushed Mitts before, it did not turn out well
