No Samuelsson tonight, although he is supposed to be close to returning. Any word on if there will be a link to the game? AHL tv only has an option for the whole playoffs ($29).

In a sense they are not unlike the Bills. It took them a long time to crawl out of the hole they are in. They've managed to stack themselves this year in a way that isn't sustainable but that's ok. They are all-in now.

My post was in response to the Panthers being stacked, not the Sabres.

Imagine the Panthers not adding Sam Reinhart and his 85 points or whatever he had because Owen Tippett was in the system.

If that’s Adams “plan”, making sure no prospects are blocked, he sucks.

I sincerely hope he’s just setting the bar low

Florida Panthers. Stacked team.

Cant be like them, don't want players to get in the way of guys who have a combined 2 points in the NHL

So we're ready to take that big a step and win 58 games next year?

Man, that was easy.

Imagine us being able to add a 85 point player.... Its just not in the cards.

You are trying to compare our situation to the president trophy winners.

You need a reality check.

Some are grasping at straws at this point just so they have something to rip Adams for.

The guy has done a full 180 on the culture of the locker room.

Now were suppose to add 4 legitimate pieces in 1 offseason..... Like its another day at the office........ It's absolutely ludicrous

You're comparing apples and oranges. The Bills would not have blown up their cap 3 years ago to add Von Miller. They did this year because they are going for it. The Panthers are in the same situation.

Also, Reinhart is still a young-ish player and thus part of the core going forward. Giroux would be the better comparison.

Is writing sincerely or genuinely in all of your posts meaningful? Like what is the purpose of adding it? Would you not get your point across if you just said hope? You sincerely hope so man, you must be really serious about it. It must be a matter of life or death. It's genuinely gay. I'm just saying.

Surely you are joking. After all, we've already found three fire-able offenses since lunch time. My happy hour drink is late - we could probably at least suspend him for the bartender's tardiness.

Reinhart was a 60 point player here

We traded him for a 60 point package and now he’s top 30 in scoring.

It’s our turn to be on the receiving end of a player who’s been undervalued or misused.

It’s absolutely insane to not agree with a simple point like that

Yeah not at all.

I want core players.

I have no idea why you’d think I’d be talking about 35 year olds

A late first and a goalie that doesn't want to play for the other team? Yeah, how could the Sabres possibly afford that?

Well of course we would want young core players. I think people looked waaaaaaay to closely to Adams comments this week.

I think Adams has done well so far.

If he doesn’t try and make significant improvements after having a team play at a 90-95 point pace for 30+ games to end the year, it’s because he isn’t that good at this, or the Pegula’s care more about the bottom line, either which way isn’t a good thing

It’s funny that people use the harbor center GM thing in jest when they treat this guy like he should still have training wheels in offseason 3.

Go be a real team ffs

Nothing wrong with wanting your team to get better, and you can still develop for the future while trying to get better in the present.
