Why is Adams getting fired, damn go get Debrincat instead with a good goalie and still think this is a playoff team.

MUCH better than the Pk88 idea

He can stay put too
And Chicago will have more offers than ARZ & BUF
The Hawks will eat salary if they’re rebuilding
- jdfitz77

I'm just using that as an example. Even with the ability and willingness to eat salary, there are few teams that can make that work.

This isn’t done in a vacuum

The Sabres benefited from bad goaltending on multiple occasions that they won.

So if we’re eliminating bad goaltending completely you need to take those wins out

Holy moly were not talking in absolutes here.

Obviously the multiverse changes if I blow on your moms neck

The Rangers are the Sabres with a goaltender. Change my mind.

No Panarin type player, no Krieder, no Zibanejad, no Fox.

Why is Chicago trading a 25-year old that still has RFA status?

It would probably take more to get him than Kane all things being equal.

Our fox took the first 20 games off but he came around

Have you looked at their team?


They need to tear it down

Disagree
And Kane doesn’t have to waive to go anywhere

Maybe he would at the deadline for whoever could fit him & come up with a decent offer
But from what i heard, he’s not gonna waive to leave Chicago unless he thinks it’s for a place he can “win the cup”
And buffalo just isn’t there yet- not even close

That’s sort of the point though.

People (not saying you) are putting way too much emphasis on just fixing the goalies.

They still need offense badly

How does one benefit from bad goaltending?

PK wasn't my Idea, actually brought up Debrincat last night, and asked if he was worth the 9th

16 games we had a lead and lost. Goalie helps. # of games we lost like 5-4 cause Dell couldn't save a beach ball. Goalie helps. SHootout/OT's. Goalie helps.

I don't think 20 points is that far removed.

Thinking we would be in the same spot had we had a real goaltender instead of a combo of AHL/ECHL goalies and a 40 yr old Andy is hysterical

The rumors are out there for some reason
But fine, Fiala instead then
Or go after Forsberg as a UFA
Etc, etc, etc

Kane doesn’t wanna play here
“Not unless we get good”
His sister’s exact words

They need offense but not badly. They need goaltending badly. Like they actually NEED goaltending. They can do without adding to the offence. Which is what everyone is getting at.

They'll be fine with a goalie to back em up. Adding to the offense does nothing to keep the puck out of the net.

I’m not blaming the Kane idea on you
Just saying DeBrincat would make more sense for our timeline

Some of us understand this.

It’s not hard. But here we are.

So you want to Tim Murray this thing cause DeBrincat is two first +

My opinion is based on what his sister has told me
If u have better info, feel free to share

What Skinner did has nothing to do with what Kane wants to do
I could play that ridiculous game too though

21st ranked offense.

Goalie/Offense is a 1a/1b scenario.

Absolutely cost more for debricat over pk88

Probably less for toews.
Does he like Niagara falls, the Bill's, chicken wings?

This is the main point. Goaltending is going to be upgraded. It's almost impossible for them not to. They don't even have enough bodies on the roster next year right now.

The Sabres have 3 forwards that can produce at a Top 6 level consistently. Oloffsson is close, but until he actually does it or a full season, I'm not putting him in that category. Even if you include him, if, more likely when, one of them goes down with injury, you have players slotted where they don't belong, and then a repeat of November-February.

- ImThatGuy

20 GF away from NYR (the closest east playoff team)

40 GA away from TO (the closest east playoff team)

Our goal differential is -58

Which helps more adding 20 goals or taking away 40?

How does one benefit from bad goaltending?

I learned other teams have worse goaltending in a vacuum . 🙄

I would shutter at the cost for the Cat.

- ImThatGuy

No, not really
But if you’re gonna give up the assets it would take to get Kane,
then we’d might as well give up a little more for a guy that’ll fit our timeline better & be around longer

Kane isn’t coming here
U guys can believe me or not,
but I’m not gonna go on for page after page about it either
Have your “fun” i guess
