I think they'd find a way to make it work. Dahls and Sammy switch often. He's quality. But. You're right it is a real consideration.

Of the two questions about Hanifin, I'm more concerned with his contract expiring after next season, as I would not be a big fan of extending him to some kind of big deal long term.

Nobody is can't miss.

The Sabres have been drafting well lately, and were able to get Peterka and Kulich toward the end of the first round or early in the 2nd round.

It is also not said every draft.

Just looking at the stats profiles of the forwards at the end of the first round and beginning of the second round is stark, especially compared to normal years.

We would be dealing it for a stud not marcus johanson.

Still tickets for the Leafs game on the 21st available. If you've never been to one in Buffalo I highly, highly recommend.

My "issue" with levi that im a tad afraid of is does he have the nhl body? Is he goign to be in the same vain and that college football player who is amazing in college but rather pedestrian in the league?
Remember steve sheilds was a great college goalie as well. Portillo has the body the NHl is looking for.

- hubie


That’s why Levi will be going to Rochester first and probly 1 -2 years away from the nhl

The ahl is step 1 of that process

I don't give a poop how the body looks as long as he stops pucks. Ryan Miller and Dom Hasek were both skinny rails but could play the position...

There's even more of a need for one high end forward prospect if you are dealing for a player like Meier and plan on extending him, as you're going to need a number of prospects that hopefully a few of end up being impact players for you on ELC deals.

This draft is loaded. Do not trade the pick. They're going to need that ELC production down the road.

- kingcong39


I'm with thirtysixensons on this one.

Teams want picks because this draft is strong.
A 1st in 2023 could be worth a 1st and 2nd in 2024?

We have a ton of great prospects. Why wait 3 years until this draft pays off?

We could have 3 cup rings before the 2023 1st rounder makes a difference.

Scooped up some 300's single seats $39 each.

Sitting on them for a couple weeks until game day.

Hoping people come down and need a seat just to get in the arena.

I had that plan for the Bill's game in Atlanta. Got boxed out as a sth. I was still going , ticket or not.
Would have paid almost anything once there.

Oh by the way. Anyone need a single to the Toronto game?
$100 each ☝️

Here's our Sabre fact for the day:

On January 31st 1989, Mike Foligno had his final three-goal game of his career in the Sabres 5 - 3 win over the Whalers.



Damn impressive box score for some guys:


Foligno had his hatty, +3, and 4 PIMs
Turgeon had 4 helpers and was a +4
Housley had 2 helpers and was a +3
Benoit Hougue and 15 pims
Kevin Maguire had 12 pims

And it would help let some other prospects Nadeau, Rosen and such grow and Develop a bit more. It's a fantastic opportunity, just a lot of money.
