Here won't get over on Adams, the Yotes are still on the picks and prospects trian.................STILL.
- SABRES 89


they should be. that roster is gross.

they have no money for several years. their game plan is to grow a poop load of prospects so they have the currency buffalo now has to grow something out of a potato sack of picks.

You hear any offers for Chychrun?

Well, what do you know. When we stop giving up multiple cross-ice passes on front of the net every game like we were two weeks ago, the goaltending magically looks better. It was still a shooting gallery last night but at least they weren't shots that are 40% likely to score.

I don't know if I can watch 46 for the rest of the year. We get our heads caved in every time he is out there.

Give UPL the credit. The Knights had 16 HD opportunities and he stopped 14 of them. One missed.

The Sabres were bad last night.

Yotes asked for Savoie in a deal and that was a no, but it's just talk as of now.

Breakaways are fine though...
- buffalofan19


No, they aren't, but at least the goalie can make a save there. They don't need to hope that the puck happens to hit them like you do on a cross-ice pass in front of the net. I saw something in UPL that we hadn't seen before: he was aggressive in this crease. He looked in control on every shot. Almost menacing, if that makes sense.

Fascinating that Adams is still trying for a vet D. I think he's right, but none the less.

The Thompson line was good at times. Cozens was ok.

Point is JJ/Quinn are going to have their struggles. Another play driving winger/center should’ve been a priority

- sbroads24

Kid line was beat. Whole team really. Tough travel week.Cozens moved to 3rd to preserve the lead add defense, I’m thinking.
Huge wins on the road against the best in the west.
Vegas big and fast. Tough team ti play against

They need to talk to Chychrun's agent and see if he's willing to sign and stay in Buffalo if not, Adams won't budge which is obvious. They are big on players wanting to be here. I know it sounds strange but Adams and CO are huge believers in that.

I'd like to see a Victor Olofsson for Bowen Byram trade but that's my opinion and probably won't happen.

I’m fine if the Sabres don’t have a first this year if it means they get a good timeline vet d man.

Sure Girgensons and his Locomotive were the turning points in Negotiations.

That's not strange. It's their company motto. Which, I mean... it's better than anything they've done since 06 so.

What is your opinion on him? You've probably seen him more than most here. He seems to check a lot of boxes. I don't think he is a top-pairing D but he seems like he could really do a lot of damage in a bottom 4 role.

Girgensons still has a roll in the NHL for as much as I crap on him, it's just not with the Sabres anymore. Like you said, they have players that can replace him.

He had two really strong years from 19-21. Past two years he's been kinda.. fine I guess. He's only played 14 games so far so we'll see where that goes. He's power driving offense this year in a way that Owen Power is, where his defense is kinda average.

His Quality of Teammate is ranked 671 out of 724. So I'm sure that helps.

I'm not buying that since the start of last season.

Regardless, he's a good player and I'd like to see him in a different system.
