The fact Don Granato looked at Peyton Krebs and said to himself, "I can make him an effective bottom 6 player in the NHL" absolutely amazes me. Jack Adams stuff right there.

Edit: there ain't an analytic in the world to see that

Not sure I see that. He has 3C written all over him, imo.

Fixed

Not a lot of them, but I'd say 1 ten bell save and two 6 or 7 bell saves.

2 first overall picks used on defenseman in 3 years. How many 2nd round picks does that equal?
- ZiggyBuff

Yeah exactly.

When you're playing the top 3 guys 80 minutes of each game, how many more early picks need to be spent on a defenseman?

Samuelsson 9:47 in the 1st

All young and all under Sabres control. Dahlin of course could sit out ect.

Sabres picked 3 really exciting guys this draft ☝️

does he stick

Until UPL does something to warrant being sent down, you have to carry three. Sorry Vinnie Hinny.

Doesn't mean the system isn't weak

Couldn't we trade a good forward for a good defenseman?

Couldn't we sign a 4th defenseman in free agency.

Let the kids grow in Rochester? Just like they did the forwards?

Use a few plugs?
Remember were less than a year and 1/2 from dead last place. Takes some time for these guys to develop.

We have 3 2nds. Should be able to get a good defender with a 2nd.

Hampus Lindholm almost Dahlined us.

Weak is an issue, non-existent is a problem.

Johnson would help a ton.
- Lunaion

If he doesn't they are in a bit of a pickle

Tuch

Wooooooooooo

Tuch has the clutch gene I think.

Really awkward situation. Hard to carry 3, hard to play 3.

Tuch!

Having a goalie break thru, is exactly what management was hoping for.

Maybe asplund gets waived, and he clears for Rochester?

He could room with pilut, maybe get a call up occasionally?

From Boosh of all people. +1 notice him for Boosh today.

Does Comrie get sent down on a conditioning stint? If so it gives another 10-14 days to make a decision.

did Mittelstadt make the trip, or did he stay home in Buffalo?

Yes we could, but doesn't it seem that Adams is building through the prospect pool. Well there isn't any coming up D wise and you shouldn't always have to rely on FA or trades. As is now, the Sabres are gonna have to use assets to improve there D

- lacaprup

I am surprised Vinnie doesn't ask for a trade.

Worse players in the NHL than him.

Donnie played 6 k in the first 2 games after a long break

IMO that's telling

Let's bury these old men. If Marchand gets checked into the next century in the process, then even better. That Coyle line worries me, though.

True, it should have been Anderson's turn.
