5.1x5 went from a 1 to a 20 overall score.

It would be hard to say "no" if he came knocking. That said, he's the type of coach you want when you feel you have your team mostly in place. The Sabres aren't there yet. Maybe if Granato turns into the "only can take them so far" kind of coach, it's a conversation worth having. We're still miles from finding that out, though.

Yeah for sure. 3-4 years from now, if Donny hits that wall, Trotz is a guy I'd look at. Hypothetically.

Adams sat with GR for a half hr this morning. Worth a listen. Something for everyone in this one.

Guy played 66 games last year... He's exactly what ppl round here are asking for and he's available... Well it would seem.

I don't know the guy but the way Dahlin presents himself, I think he's enough of a professional to understand the business and not get angry/upset at the team for trading countrymen away for the assumed betterment of the team. At least I'd hope so. Olofsson when healthy serves a quality purpose for this team, so if we could swap him for something different and more helpful, I'd definitely listen.

I'm also not worried about a contract extension for him either. Bet that baby wraps up two days before arb.

- TheSabresTaco


Yes

I'm not suggesting dahlin would leave when his contract is up because, goaloffson was traded...

Just think he may be willing to see this rebuild for a little longer if his friends and countrymen make it more fun to play hockey in Buffalo.

Dahlins gonna get paid 10+ with or without selke larry and goaloffson.....



My point though, they seem to be a team.
Why change too much?

To pretend terry and Kvyvyv aren't on the same page is quite humourous. He's gonna not get fired for adding slightly to this core. They formed a plan together.
Missing that small fact, is really amateur hour posting.

1. Tight budget - kyvynyn doesnt sign players and buy free agents .

How is that possible fireable 🙄

I'm not so sure about hellebuyck.

Would certainly be an upgrade and is probably available.

Kinda doesnt lead Winnipeg anywhere though and they have good forwards and defensemen.

He certainly would be a #1 durable upgrade 👍

Don't think so, but it sure seems people think that when you would like some additions added to the team.

There D is decent, Mark Just asked out pretty much and beyond Connors, PLD, and Ehlers they don't have much up front... Wheeler and Statsny are getting old.

For the sake of this joke/stab/troll/retort not playing out much longer..

The interpretation is that Kevyn needs to simply address the obvious issues, and based on his recent interviews, he intends on doing so. I don't believe a single person on this board thinks KA is getting fired this year regardless of the realistic decisions he makes.

It would be an offense for him to not make this team better in the offseason. By no means that would mean he's getting fired for not making those obvious moves.

They have the resources to add a couple pieces without hurting the future.

Adding 2 top 6 F a top 4RD and a goalie or 2 is very unrealistic.

Get a goalie first then worry about in front of him

We're trying to build something special for the long term and YOU want to TRADE all of our picks.

I hate you and your family and you think Kevyn is getting FIRED tomorrow.

Unless they go into rebuild mode this move wouldn't make sense from WIN's perspective. If anything I would think they might try to trade for vets so as to take advantage of the end of the window of some of their stars. They are probably the perfect example of a place where you don't want to be - not enough talent to come anywhere close to winning a cup yet not rebuilding either (and not to mention, fairly old as well).
