Appreciate the post,

I'm ok with joker playing top 4 minutes, think he proved to be a young vet with the younger defenseman

We need a goalie

Hard for me to bring in any more top forwards, quinn and peterka will need time to develop.

Maybe a hard nosed 5th defenseman ?

Can't see them getting 2 NHL caliber goalies, plus having UPL. He has to clear waivers next year, no?

I see them going w mystery goalie/UPL

And some combination of Tokarski, Subban, Dell down on the farm(s).

Looks good except, I highly doubt the Sabres sign a defenseman better than joker.

Fire KA and bring in a gunslinger like tmgm.

Get those (2) top 6 forwards
Trade for a guy better than joker
Add 2 goalies
Sign olofsson for 3 x 3

A very fireable offense, standing pat with a young and upcoming team that proved they can win together.

So they would take on dead contracts just to get to the floor instead of getting real bodies?

Now, saying that, and I do agree w you, I still think he needs to bring in a goalie other than CA, and that's partly UPL's fault. Love the thought of CA (easy to root for, sounds like a great mentor not just for the goalies, but for the entire team, etc etc). I just don't trust either of them to stay healthy, and I really can't watch Dustin Tokarski play any more than a couple of games anymore.

I do think they're going to add a vet D. He pretty much hinted at it.

I always find those comments funny. Does anyone think TP's not onboard with the plan?

Was thinking the same thing. Whatever they are doing now is with the blessing of TPegs. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't do much if for no other reason than it would save them money.

Yup. If that’s his “plan”.

And yes, I know he won’t be
