Flawed logic : judging players on sv% and gaa.

You get individual trophies for those stats...

I thought they were using fancy stats now to evaluate the team

we had chances to make moves already

we got bishop and anderson

kings got falia
- homiedclown

Fiala doesn’t even fit the parameters that YOU set out

So lets summarize.

The team is only a year away from the darkest 2 years of its existence. In an amazing turn of events, we actually had an unbelievable season given the circumstances. Just about all of the prospects had fantastic years (and the ones that didn't looked good when healthy). We have the #1 rated prospect pool and a ton more prospects on the way. On top of that we are going to be adding 3 top-flight prospects to the team next year.

And free agency hasn't even started.

Never mind all of that... they traded for a retired player and signed another player to be the emergency goalie. And we haven't shown interest in signing a 37 year old center or defenseman.

I am a convert now. I too want to be " that guy" and snicker at every move they make as if there is no plan and it is the last move that they will ever make.

So then the Sabres being one of the worst 10 teams in the league means the goaltending was also that bad then No? Since winning = good and the Sabres didn’t do a lot of that.

So what? Are we trying to end the playoff drought our are we trying to set ourselves up for the next decade? The two are not the same. I couldn't care less about the former and I want to do everything for the latter.

The last thing Adams should do is feel the pain from the mistakes of his predecessors.

Would you do 9+goalafson+2nd or prospect for 2OA

I can do 3 things at once

you should try it sometime

Anderson was a sentimental move, not an analytics move. I don't like seeing that.

you can offer malkin more money then any other team right now on a 2 year deal

prove me wrong
- homiedclown

Doesnt mean Malkin signs in Buffalo .

Prove me wrong

Unbelievable season = 25th in the standings, 40 points out of the playoffs.

I guess if you want to call it that?

Would you do 9+goalafson+2nd or prospect for 2OA

Hell yes.

The Sabres cap situation is a GM's wet dream. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive, especially in this case.

Just like Colorado and how they…. Oh wait. 90% of that roster was traded for because most of the prospects/picks they drafted/traded fell short of expectations outside of Mac/Makar/Landry

If - and it's still an if - the Sabres do not address the goaltending position in a meaningful way yet this summer, will you feel differently?

if they draft an LD in the first round then they have no desire to win with dahlin

Why not sign a 17-12-2 goalie that likes buffalo and is willing to play for 1.5 million.

Who's the last 17 win sabre ? Injury prone ullmark maybe?

You're pretty upset for June 30th

Correct, so lets continue to see exactly what we have in these prospects.

Where is the break tap? We turned things around by dumping Ralph and letting the kids play in all situations. They had a hell of a 3 months at the end, even with mediocre goaltending. We've got 3 new top-flight prospects that are being added to the roster on top of all of that. I want to see Krebs and Mitts have a full year at center to see what I have. If they don't work out then I'll take some assets and get a stud center in 2 years. I don't want to see either of them playing 3rd line wing so that we can watch Malkin in the last years of his career.
