how about 3rd?
- IonSabres

If the Sabres are picking 3rd, most likely the season went horrifically with everything going wrong. Goaltending a continuing failure, Dahlin and Power disappoint, Thompson and other forwards regress. Good vibes evaporating and KA on the hot seat?

I would like to Sabres to take a flyer on Phil Kessel. He is a scorer

Interesting topic.
What would you need to see from Mitts in order to keep him?
- IonSabres

65 point production for a full season


honestly it's a character thing for me

when you come into camp out of shape, you are not a guy I want to build around

he can say whatever he wants but at the end of the day, his numbers are down, injury prone and I do not see him as a second line center on a cup winning team and I think we would be better to move on from him for the development of cozens and krebs

maybe a full season on the wing would be good for him

So the UFA aspect is more concerning to me presently. Hopefully, he doesnt have to go big game hunting for a 1C as an example...rather coloring in the edges for Mason Marchment type players. That should take care of itself if they continue to play well and reveal themselves as a team ready to take the next steps rather than a team who played well the last 30 games of the season.

based on what I see and the roster makeup including prospects

I see this, when.if they are good as a balanced attack not a 1 line pony whose sucess will come from the blueline, not the guys up front

it's an interesting makeup, perhaps like one we have never seen from scratch and from that standpoint I am excited

We have never seen 2 highly regarded d prospects each picked first overall be the foundation for a team construction before

this could very well be the outcomes, it's one of 3 possibilities

per spector

Friedman reported the Edmonton Oilers were trying to move Jesse Puljujarvi for a draft pick. He indicated that it’s difficult right now because the clubs with an interest in him have little or no cap space and didn’t want to make that deal.

KA might not be there anyway by end of season, might be a bit higher up.

I know a team that has a few picks and some cap space.

hearing the donnie story on cozens at the draft and prospect camp is one more reason why I think casey is the first to get phased out

I see cozens more as a Anthony Cirelli type shut down guy, and that is fine as we have 3 other centers to take the second line slot

What did he do? Besides show up to prospects camp.

I read that and understand that! Doesn't mean Adams can't become interested.

was on the phone with donnie at the draft

donnie said it's up to you to teach these guys how to be a pro

cozens stepped up and flew into town and spent time with them

he shows at the very least, assistant caption material

that's my big beef with this "process"

we were 24th in scoring

clearly there could be upgrades made, and adams did nothing other then a lottery ticket 28 year old rookie goalie and a bottom pair d man

and kept the band together

He'll steal ice time from Crouse, though.

You need to think these things through. 😂

Is what it is homie, I am with you and think the Sabres missed on a opportunity. There are still opportunities out there, be surprised if we took them. But let's hope for progression and not regression this year.

flip side

don't say you can't get a long term goalie because you don't want to block an unsigned prospect

and while doing that, possibly blocking either peterka or quinn by retaining and not trading any of the guys up front on a team that finished 24th in scoring


if it was a constant message, fine but it's not
- homiedclown

Who are ya trading? I dont even care about the return in this convoy, the who is traded is more interesting, to me anyway.

I think the 3 on notice would be casey, joker and maybe olofsson (given it was only a 2 year deal)
