Baller-

Very enjoyable reed. Excellent!

I agree with hayden over eakin. Donnie benched eakin.
We need at least 1 guy to fight. I'd be fine without cozensons ever needing to fight again. Even by choice.

Still feel like the Sabres need a gianta type guy.
Pommer type guy.

A veteran who's a former captain and loves buffalo. Someone to build around for a few years.

Maybe its Dustin brown? Fits the profile and potential trade team with eichel.

Thought maybe it was gonna be nick foligno .
He got paid, despite the low estimates around here ☝️

Nice Blog there JCrag!

To me this season will be interesting to watch in order to evaluate who are line drivers vs passengers.

For it to work, Mittsy and Workhorse need to be absolute line drivers, not requiring others to make them better. I have more confidence in Cozens...but I have to admidt I admire Mittsy's turnaround at the end of last season...if he finally "gets it" it will be an enormous Save by Donnie.

Carry-on my wayward son!!

- IonSabres



My prediction,:

Goaloffson helps either mitzy or workhorse drive a line. Maybe both.

Also my prediction.

Goaloffson plays well, you deny it and try and trade him.
I rub it in, you take your tyler Bass football and go home.

If he'd waive to come here then it would work nicely to have him as an elder statesman

He plays wing...he plays center...he's named Jack but doesn't act like a wussy. Is there anything not to like?

Truly need a leader who wants to be here.

Donnie is that guy. Hopefully.

Maybe they don't need that current nhl guy? Maybe it's the coaches job.

Clearly I liked gianta and the living legend pommer, but did the players respect their current on ice play? Were they too old to lead by example? Is dustin brown?

That's why I like retaining eichel $. Still. Vs. Cap dumps.

Clearly we are “tanking” this year
Even if it’s not on purpose, we are gonna suck

And without being able to sign quality UFAs,
I’d expect next year to be tough too

Best we can hope for is to eventually start looking like Ottawa did last year- where they were still losing games, but also fun to watch & u could see al the young talent really starting to develop into something

A little lick in the next couple draft lotteries would obviously be a big help too

I was thinking about buying a Bass jersey. Is that allowed? Am I breaking any codes there?

signing a 40 year old bum to be our number one goalie and spending to cap floor is clear message it's tank a thon part 9

It’s not like we could’ve done significantly better though,
even if we wanted

I highly doubt any good UFAs are even considering the Sabres right now

Translation: We are going to suck a huge bag of donkey ballz for the next 5 years. We have been tanking for 8 franking years!!!!!!! in those last 8 years we have 2 picks 8th OA, 1 pick at 7, 2 at #2 OA and 2 picks 1st OA, and we are still tanking??? How many top 8 picks do we freaking need? This team is mis managed from top to bottom, Phuc I bet us fans can draft and coach better, and I am dead ass serious.

I am sick of tanking, it has gotten us absolutely nowhere.. We dont need Luck, we need an exorcism, Chicken bones, Jobu, any phuking witch doctor we can find. JFC, enough is enough, My college age son has no idea what a good Sabres hockey team looks like, that is just sad.
