Although I got I agree he is a wild card. If I remover correctly, Krebs was thought of as definitely a top 10 prospects, arguably top 5, but he missed time either before his draft, or immediately after, and it his his stock. I'm very confident in this, since I was high on Krebs during his draft year (have him in a few dynasty leagues).

I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Sooner or later IMO someone will have to be traded. Sabres are going to be swimming in prospects in the next couple years.

Dahlin was the next Lidstrom we were told, I don't see it and he can't touch Makar.
- SABRES 89


Dahlin came into the league at 18 (a very young 18).

Makar came in when he was 21.

Big difference in physical maturity between those 2 ages. I mean Dahlin had zits literally up and down his face still. He was basically a kid when he came into the league. He broke Bobby Orr’s record for a teenager in points.

Then add in Dahlin had Ralph Kruger where he couldn’t do anything creative.

So my point is. Hold off the Dahlin hate. It’s childish. Defensemen in general take till they are 24/25 to figure it out

Dahlin is light years ahead of that.

Also I think you need to watch a game in person. Dahlin does some amazing things that the tv can’t show you

As a former college hockey defensemen. I marvel at some of the stuff he does so well

His skating and stick work at the blue line are amazing sometimes. Like I said before it will be interesting going forward with Samuelsson Dahlin pairing. There zone % starts are total opposites of each other.

Was a decent signing. We just need to find out if he can play more than 17gms a year at those or close to those numbers.

nope, tempered expectations given the last 11 years

I expect the best, sadly I thought they wanted to be the best as well


the room is clearly divided as those who wished a few decent moves happened are now the villains


I would think as a season ticket holder, you would want use to strive to at least be as decent as detroit and the sens given the cap space we had


if this team gets 70 points next season, what do you think should happen?

- homiedclown


70 would get them something like 6th in the Draft.
They will have had 1 more season under their belt in the evaluation of the youngins.

Package 2023 1st, 2024 1st, 2 of their 2022 2nds, One of Krebs/Cozens/Mitts, and one of Johnson/ Portillo to secure 1st OA and draft Bedard.
