If they get decent goaltending and are Top 4 D can keep the momentum from the finish and keep growing I think the Sabres can be playing meaningful games in Feb/march. But it could fall apart just as easy.

That was kinda hopeful
Nice to see u coming around

I meant on the nhl roster, like cozens and thompson who arent very good at it. I dont think he's going to the AHL with the Sabres current depth at centre.

What he's not allowed to be sharing his knowledge with the players on the Sabres.

Well it's pretty obvious Adams isn't doing anything to block anyone. He has a lot riding on Growth Development Hope and some luck. The hard part of his job starts very soon hopefully.

The last 3 arent centres anymore, and casey should probably get moved to the wing as well.

then you would be exposing pilut or fitzgerald to waivers to keep a 41 year old locker room guy on the roster
- homiedclown


It’ll be interesting to see how Pilut looks coming back
I thought he had some potential when we last got to see him with us

Fitzgerald looked like he might be a decent extra defenseman for us, but he’s replaceable if we lose him- wouldn’t be a big deal

giving up on krebs who just turned 21?

IMO he has the best vision of any of those guys

Donnie the center whisperer needs to work with mitts this season.

I Think he starts as 2c or 3c.

Is there anything about playing on the wing that would prevent him from using that skill?

He doesn't have the off puck play to justify regular minutes at centre. He's young enough that he could take a step forward there but so far it's been real bad.

20 mill in cap space and we sign this scrub, like I said before, the cap will be 62-65 mill. and we wonder why it takes decades to rebuild.

stop it

you are acting like he would have been a top 10 pick if he wasn't injured before the draft


oh wait

His off puck play wasn't great there either. Again, he's young enough that he can improve this but nothing at the NHL level suggests that they should pencil him in as a centre to start the year.

Options for 4C seem to be Girgs, Asplund & Sheahan

Those first 2 names should get a shot at 4C first,
& Sheahan only get a chance as a “last resort” type move

Guys like Kadri aren’t lining up to play for us right now

And there’s frankly not much out there to get excited about anyways

To tell you the truth homie I really don't like Krebs and think he will become redundant in the Sabres system because he isn't much of a scorer. Great set up man but think the Sabres have players coming up that can do both.

I feel the same way to an extent,
but i think we are forgetting what a good prospect Krebs (at least) was at one point

Definitely needs to improve that, they said you could see he got bigger at Camp. I really don't like Krebs was just saying about him playing C.
