Just wondering

If Dahlin is bad this year or beyond, or not even great, are fans gonna be honest about it this time or are we giving him the “the team in front of him sucks” excuses given to Ristolainen for 6 straight seasons

samuelsson won't be able to help him this year or next
- Michael Pachla

Aside from the unfortunate injury, Samuelsson will be an nhl defenseman soon.

Maybe will butcher could play the defensive role with dahlin?

When was Risto ready for that role?

it's dahliln's defense now

Dahlin could easily be a -35 again?
Big boy minutes vs. The top talent in the world.

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug

JJ is definitely making it hard on Adams and company to send him down.

He should start in roch. Don’t let him get sucked into tank habits

Maybe the young Sabres see the best players that work the hardest make the team?

If peterka earns a spot , let him play.

Hopefully his talent and effort helps cushion the tank season

I don't think that's his role. Betting on 60%+ ozone starts.

I'm thinking dahlin gets 25+ a night, if he can handle it.
I think he gets his share of defensive shifts.

Who's getting all the dzone starts? Will butcher will probably see a lot of ice time as well.

It's unfortunate that with as bad as this Sabres team is gonna be next the few years that we may never know Dahlin's true value before this 3 year contract is up.

Anecdotal evidence said Sabres season-ticket sales were going to be ugly.

The actual evidence proves it.

This organization will loooooose Dahlin and Mitts once this next tank is over and they’ll be lucky if that’s all they looooose.

You can’t keep core players after a full tear down…90…62…55…23…35…15/9, mindset isn’t there anymore and no money or speech from a GM from the same organization can change that.

A lot of blue there

should be a great year

should be a great year

You now Taco it's time to turn the page, a new season has started. I just want to see growth out of are young players. And I don't care about tanking I want the players who deserve to be out there playing and learning how to play and become a hockey team.

There haggling over a 25,000 dollar surgery, if Jack is so hell bent on the Surgery all that has to be done is Jack signs a waiver about the contract, go have your Surgery.
- Buff36

Hopefully this is sarcasm as there is no way this is just $25k. If it is not, you are delusional. The doctor does not show up for that amount, his malpractice is at issue, the Anesthesiologist does not even show up for less than that and then consider the nurses and the rooms.

Having said that, it probably centers on the contract insurance and who is paying the rest of the $80M that Jack is owed. So, I guess I am saying, your comment is crap.

this is really all we can hope for. And fair goaltending.

I stated within the past couple of weeks that barring an awful camp, UPL will be splitting time here. I think he does still get many games, I have a hard time believing he'll start the year here. The Sabres badly want him to be here, but they probably realize he isn't ready yet based on these games.

Ugh, Dell. Christ.

It's not about the cost of the procedure, it's about the lack of coverage for it if it fails.

I was of a bit, I didn't account for inflation. I had fusion Surgery 12yrs ago and it cost me 20 grand about

Hasn’t everyone been in here for a year now saying how losing has ruined most of the guys they shipped out.
They are being bad on purpose again. How is this any different. Dahlin,Mitts, Cousins etc are all going to be around a poop ton of losing the next 3 years.

It will destroy them

I just want to know how this team took the Connor McDavid of defenseman and ruined him
