People from Buffalo making fun of Canada

My lawd the irony

- DirtyDan

difference climate wise between western ny and ontario is minimal at best

both have nice areas, both have not so nice areas

now the difference between south beach and either ontario or WNY is huge

I think the opinions of Canada vs Florida for chunker make sense.

As for Buffalo. Some players like playing here because they are close to home or families have an easier time going to games

Owen power for example has gone to a few Sabres game as a kid.

Skinner also lived close by too and has family come visit and go to games

So yes Buffalo isn’t better than Canada.

But Calgary vs Florida. Massive difference.

seems columbus vs calgary also has a massive difference

or just trade ryan johnson and our 2023 2nd round pick

that gives them an early second in 23 and a late 2nd in 24 if johnson does not sign

if Kakko gets it together, it would be scary having him and tage on the same line

- homiedclown



Speaking of Johnson

I have that feeling Adams is going to hold onto
Him and portilo to long hoping they sign

I'm sure he is not. He will be 29 when his deal expires and Quinn will likely take over his role if all goes according to plan.
- Hank Balling


Olofsson puts up 55 -60 goals over the next 2 seasons.

Why move him? Too old? Luke adam/ justin bailey gonna replace him?

Olofsson did the Sabres a favor, signing a team friendly contract. If we make the playoffs with him, why move him? If we dont make the playoffs, absolutely consider trading olo.

probably, johnson is a no brainer given compensation

did johnson verbally close the door on signing this season and go back to school?

Olo made progress 5-on-5 this year but his primary value is still as the trigger man opposite tall guy on the PP. If Quinn can take Olo's job while on a cheaper bridge deal, then the Sabres will likely take that route and save the money. Just my feeling.

savoie
ostlund
kullich
rosen
poltapov
kisakov
sardariann
bloom
rousek
quinn
peterka


I think if quinn and peterka show 20 goal potential in their rookie year, and the sabres are 10 points or more out of the playoffs at the deadline, olofsson is moved at the deadline

numbers game

can't keep them all

Speaking of busts, Owen Power is Wheeler's top ranked drafted prospect.

https://theathletic.com/3...5/nhl-prospects-rankings/

- TheSabresTaco


1, 9, 36 & 40 spots for Sabres prospects on the list.
And JJ is not listed, which he has an opportunity to prove otherwise.

It really sounds like he wants to sign, even if it's after school this season. A lot can change between now and then for sure, but he seems committed.

Portillo's as good as gone, it seems. That's too bad.

I brought up that ya'll from Buffalo talking sh!t about Canada yet you live in the arm pit of America (yes you live in florida and spend your days on the web).

You do realize these players come back to Canada in the Summer? Lakes up here are loaded with NHL players

weather is canada is great in the summer

same as WNY


I do not recall any poster saying canada is a trash place to live, just saying florida is much nicer then say calgary or edmonton in the winter


you only live once on this rock


how many canadian hockey players decide to stay in canada in the winter to shovel snow?

And you wonder why players didn't sign here or want to be traded here

Still don't get Portillo's reluctance. If it is merely the G pipeline with him, Levi and UPL competing; that tells me the Sabres should move him...let's hope he kills it this season, include him in a package at the TDL.
