My dream scenario tonight...Sabres win 6-4 , VO with the empty net goal. Kane puts up 4 points. Crowd chants "we want Patty". Cozens scores 2 more.

Not just winning teams, no...Superbowl favorites.
So they lost 2 starting players and turned over the reigns to 2 rookies, then when two more got hurt they made a move.

Guess we wait for 2 more D to get hurt and they are rated as SC favorites if the correlation where to stand.

It’s honestly ridiculous to compare Bills and Sabres

One team knows what they’re doing and has competent coaching and management

The other team needs just a few more years of being terrible

Nothing difficult about selling all your good players off and making your draft picks.

2 D are injured and suddenly they realize they didn't draft enough D and some of the D they do have just aren't very good.

If only they had salary cap space this past offseason. They would have been able to predict this, and sign a few vets for the roster.

The following players should not be part of the rotation out: Thompson, Cozens, Tuch, Asplund, Skinner, Peterka (though he could get into it)

Should be rarely rotated out: Hinostroza, Quinn, Girgensons, Krebs

Should be the main rotation out: Mittelstadt, Olofsson, Okposo"

Just shows how important samuelsson is to the organization.

Which proves the contract extension was smart.

Samuelsson and joker are probably our 2nd and 3rd best defenseman.

Dahlin
Samuelsson
Joker
Bryson
Power

Currently ☝️

How many teams are ready to lose their 2nd and 3rd best defenseman?

Yeah nightrider , basically switch girgensons and asplund and you're on too something.

Mitts will not be sat down.
Olo will not be sat down.
Kyle will not be sat down


Scratches are based on effort, contract and letters.

Bad decisions for bad reasons, we know.

This wave of prospects would fit in the lineup much better if the last wave of prospects solidified their roles instead of being WIP who may never get there.

Well this place is the poops

As much as I have been a defender of Meatballs I am not terribly happy with the current lineup. I still want to see more of Mitts - I think at this point his career arc might be Curtis Brown (offtense never quite develops but was surprisingly really good defensively). No idea why Pilut is potentially sitting, unless they are worried about his waiver eligibility.

and fitz hasn't even arrived yet

hawks can leave seth jones behind if you need a RD.

just win tonight and go bills. end rodgers career

Ethan F Bear is the difference between watching playoff hockey or another missed opportunity?

It's just a 5th 😥

Surely bear would have just fit into our system, with ease
- Boss34

Who is saying that, no one knows if he will work, but Jesus for a 5th it wouldn't have hurt to see if he could be a piece. It's not like he's 28 or 30, he just turned 25. This is a losing mentality and you ring the bell for the Sabres Boss

If Tim Murray drafted well outside of the obvious Eichel and Reinhart, both would still be here and we’d be a perennial powerhouse.

The tank would be praised instead of hated.

Drafting well is actually extremely difficult, and most teams suck at it.

Nonetheless

I don't see it, but maybe. I have seen Bear play, Clague not so much.

Salary cap flexibility doesn’t disappear if they don’t use it this year btw.

so what are the odds the sabres pull it off and raise a cup in 10 years


2 percent?
