I think that kind of mentality is why he's on his 5th team despite being a very good goalie. It gets old.

I loved him when he was here.

Stood up for him when other fans didn't like him.

Oh well he's bat sh crazy

When it comes to Power, letting him go back and play a full college season (apart from the time he misses to play at the WJC) is definitely the right idea regardless of the Sabres overal roster composition.

Let him dominate college before throwing him into the NHL.

- Pegullaville


I agree
Even though it seems he could be “ready” for the NHL….
I don’t see a benefit to bringing him into this sick of a season we are about to have

Who cares what Lehner has to say though?
- jdfitz77

Because it makes the Sabres look like sh!t to the outside perception. Especially after what Eichel had to say. Players don't want to come now, makes it even harder if they now they won't be taken care of Medically.

Would be pointless to have him around. In a year were trying to lose. Keep the young ones away.

Even if he plays the best defense we have Anderson and Dell behind him waiting to just let the puck go by.

I can't believe our goal position got substantially worse... The worst tandem I have EVER seen.

If anyone else has any bad ones I'd love to see... Modern era only

Players don’t wanna come bc we are constantly losing

Let’s say all Lehner had to say was great things….
We still wouldn’t be attracting free agents right now

it's like, this year is (another) write off..hagg will serve his purpose on the bottom pairing and the kids will get valuable minutes at their proper development levels...the only concern really is with the likes of mitts and cozens...being asked to anchor the top two lines at their age, and with limited experience, is not ideal...however, i do think mitts has been humbled enough, and has enough talent, to allow him to handle that role and learn from it...i also think cozens has a rock-solid demeanor that will allow him to carry those minutes without adverse affects to his development

I think theyre old enough, i dont think they have enough talent to.

It matters, just like the people on hear who came on saying that what Jack said at his exit interview and his injury wouldn't matter and we still will get a haul for him, that's worked out well so far. Already said players don't want to come here, this does not help and makes it even harder.

Is it possible Power watches the Sabres this year and decides to stay in school until he is a free agent? It would by highly unlikely for such a high draft pick (but have you seen our roster?...)

Me thinks its a big step for Cozens. He can play but like last year showed is he ready for the amount of work that he has on his plate? He was in and out of the line-up constantly..

Would rather any of these guys than a 40 year old Anderson and Aaron "I should be a backup in the AHL" Dell

Something about Swedes..... but I use to love Enroth as well

Lol, no. He said it would be an honor to play for the Sabres, his family used to come down and watch the games, etc. Plus you've got to think about a serious injury potential in college.

He wants to turn this franchise around unlike Jack*ss Eichel.

Yeah can't see that happening, can't blame him for wanting to take a shot for a Championship, especially with that loaded team.

Zero chance. He’d not only be delaying his pay day a good 4-6 years, he’d also be cutting his chance at a third contract substantially. Even if he isn’t a “me” type person, that’s just bad business

What did resigning him look like? I don’t even remember now but wasn’t it pretty strong?

Remember the Murray tank year with Irbe the goalie whisperer coaching the goalies. We went through 5 or 6 to stay bad. And Irbe kept making them look like superstars.

Not even a month after getting Drafted by the worst team in the league kids smiling taking pics, signing Sabres golf carts.

He'll be here for a long time
