My guess a little over a week ago was a 2nd and a 5th for Miller at 50% retained.

Time to bring Samuelsson up and move Dahlin to RD and see if they can grow together. We need to now what we are working with here on the Right side, we are woefully thin there.

Keep the eye on the prize.
Wright, Cooley, Geekie, Savoie are the early favorites.

Tage, Asplund, Olofsson, Bryson, Mitts coming along.
Dahlin, Cozens, Joker working their game with up and down results need to find consistency
Krebs, JJ, Quinn, Laaks, Weisbach, Samuelson all developing nicely on the farm, looking like they'll be ready to pick off the vine for next season
Power, Portillo, Levi , Rosen and others playing their craft in the Juniors.

Be patient, trust the process,!

Remember how GMTM was ordered to speed it up ... resist the urge to F-up critical stage development.

It's an understandably difficult urge to resist with how long the team has been losing and wanting the team to win, but staying the path is crucial.

Now, regarding next season...

Sabres need to find that 1RD, it would make things fall into place.

Stick outs from the article:

- With the goal light behind the Sabres’ net blinding fans with nonstop illumination, Don Granato called on Aaron Dell to replace Dustin Tokarski. It was a swap of a .900 save percentage for an .861.

The fans cheered anyway. Then they booed when Dell allowed a goal on the first shot he faced.

- The Sabres scored eight goals in 27 hours and had no points to show for it.

- The Sabres have used 20 goalies since trading Ryan Miller on Feb. 28, 2014, the most in the NHL during that span. The only team that can give them a run is Arizona, with 19. Being lumped in with the Coyotes is rarely a good thing.

- However, there’s no goalie solution in sight. At some point, the Sabres will need to find someone who can turn a four-goal output into a victory.

actually what we need is three more AHL goalies to make sure if any of our current studs go down, we have replacements in kind to ensure we need to score 8 goals a game to ever win.

again is the key center already operating at phase 2, hence no mask as everyone is vaccinated?

just red that...

wonder what dallas is gonna do...they're over the cap with bishop and his $4.9M cap-hit on ltir and he hasn't played since 2020...they have khoudobin and holtby plus oettinger is on the precipice of taking over the net for the stars...

bishop has a m-ntc/nmc with a 10-team no-trade this year and an 8-team no-trade list next year and he's been skating with the team...doubtful he wants to come to buffalo but perhaps they could sell it as a long, ahl-like rehab stint?

I understand most of Kevyn's plan. I accept it, I understand it and honestly I endorse it. But his directives, what he wants this team to become flies in the face of not giving a poop about competent goaltending. Bernie Sanders asks every (frank)ing day and he's ignored.

if your playing pysyk, vinnie, drake, eakin, bjork and hayden on a daily basis, why upgrade the goalie?

I've rarely seen a question so sensible and so (frank)ing bullpoop at the same time.

Also those players have some use and decisions need to be made about them for next year, unless they keep some of the kiddos in Rochester. Which would be sad.

Pisser has done well here.
