Who said anything about the President's Trophy. I am talking pushing for a playoff spot. You can still draft for the future and add a few pieces in the off-season. It will not kill anything

Maybe adding a few pieces kills the family atmosphere in the lockerroom.

Everyone seems to be in the same page...

Dont you think the team continuity is the reason for the late season success?

Same group pre and post trade deadline.

Looks like it's working, for the first time in a decade.

Let's add 2 new top 6 , 2 goalies, a 4th defenseman better than joker... otherwise KA isnt doing his job 👍

So are the Sabres just stuck with Eakin, Butcher, and Pysyk?

So adding a G, RD, Top 6 winger might hurt the atmosphere in the room, or it just might help it, especially if the team is playing well. And don't know where Adams isn't doing his job came from, I pretty much have had Adams back since he was hired.

Relax, brotha.

I think we're jumping the gun on being miserable about the off-season just a little bit here. You always say, we'll see what they do.

I agree that he can make a couple moves. Just that he's got to be disciplined about it. We're not in an organizational position to be doing the ol' "Tim Murray 3-for-1's".

Add your stop gap goalie, defenseman and top 9 F, but they've got to keep building, too.

1 trade

2 ufa signings

not much for assets would be lost

God I would hope he wouldn't TM it. But certain things can be added without hurting the future.

Agree with you both.

Hopefully they can convince a couple UFAs to sign here.

to keep things in perspective

even losing r2d2, johnson and portillo


we have 5 good prospects from last year taken between pick 14 and 97

constantini from year before is playing in college
huglen is playing in minnesota

3 first rd picks this summer
a first and 3 seconds next summer

3 really good d men in dahlin, power and sameulsson
quinn, peterka, tage, tuch, cozens, skinner, krebs, maybe olofsson

goalie prospect in levi
maybe rousek

asplund looks like a good long term cheap guy



this is better then bailey, fashcing, pu , cornel, borgen and guhle

Agree with you both.

Hopefully they can convince a couple UFAs to sign here.

I mean if you got malkin or kadri and letang

it's a better team then the bruins with anderson and tokarski in net

I'd sh!t my pants. Can't see it, but who ever thought Taylor Hall would sign here?

Yes

Its taken Florida 8-9 years to put a team like this together.

Stopping kidding yourself. Its not a overnight job.
- DirtyDan

Yes and no. Barkov Huberdeau and Ekblad have been there since drafted, but there are only three others who were on the roster when NYI spanked them out of the qualifying round in the Toronto Bubble Games 2 years ago.
Weegar is another, and iirc, that was Bob and Acciari’s first season in FL.

Not saying to sell the farm or whatever, but KA needs to start adding more pieces where he sees a need. The kids who would be “blocked” will just have to step it up and win a roster spot/ice time.

Edit( that’s part of why FL has done so well this season, everybody earned their roster spot, and if performance drops there is someone more than capable of taking their spot from them. Internal competition will only help to become a really good team.

the assistant gm worked with pens

Would DK- Kris Letang-Lawson Crouse be good adds. They certainly wouldn't kill the future. But they could help the present.

adding reinhart, bennett, duclair, verhaeghe, montour really changed their lineup

and drafting lundell

lawson would be a big add for middle 6

if casey or krebs is ready to be a mid 6 center in the fall it would be enough up front

he plays a heavy game when needed

Raanta just left the game, looked like he took a right hook

having guys like Luostarinen on the bottom half of your roster doesn't hurt

I like Crouse, think he would fit nicely here. Could turn into are Tuch on the Left

and no anderson

...and Hornqvist, Gudas, Marchment, and even Lomberg have helped beyond just the “grit” they’ve added.

And also Luostarainen

- PrinceChill

Yeah, those guys will probably beat power, bryson, Quinn and peterka out of spots at camp 🙄
