Lol i havent been around for awhile but ive been singing the trade song since december. The future is on the team already its time to make them better

100% they need to be in on meier. 100% need to do what it takes to make the deal if it doesnt involve quinn or peterka. Im not sure it is arguable at this point

At least 1 dman for the roster

I said top 5 GM, but reading comprehension isn’t for everyone.

When the Sabres lose today, as the Flames are celebrating, I hope Okposo yells to their bench as everyone’s skating off “Yeah but we have our centers locked up for just over 14 mil!”

I'd hate to see what the other 27 GMs below him are doing if this is top 5

So the Sabres were supposed to go 32-0 to end the year ?

What am I missing here ?

Them losing a a matinee game after an extended break was the least surprising thing ever.

Adams is right not to make a move to try and get better quick. This team is not as close as the standings look. They're a few years away still if things go right.

playoff teams do not get blown out in back to back games at home though

You it was a bad period when twitter is questioning the legitimacy of those 4 shots.

They were supposed to get more than 3 shots on goal in a period and compete. No one is mad if they're losing close games. Getting caved in is disheartening. Offense, defense, goaltending all off today. Don't win many games like that.

I like to be consistent with my observations and analysis but some guys prove me wrong
Okposo is slower than I thought. UPL isn't just good for 1 bad goal a game, it's now up to 2 or 3.
Tage is a force but not in tight big games.
Adams doesn't want to make any moves that may be crucial to this team moving ahead. He has to make a move for a D and a goalie.

Plus both teams are playing in the matinee, and one of them is doing it while traveling. Not sure why that would be an excuse as to why it's not surprising they're losing

- Zschalberg

the core is set with tage, skinner, tuch, cozens, dahlin, samuelsson and power

it's up to the gm to use his 50 million draft picks, prospects and salary cap to round out the team

if this team is not it the playoffs next season, IMO you do not have the right gm/coach

Flames are playing their third game this week, half the Sabres roster is still getting the Bahama’s sand out of their shoes.

Getting outshot 30-4 at one point is cool because of the cap savings

You want to talk about bargain contracts.

Imagine having your top 2 centers and top 2 d-men under contract for under 10 million total.

The Sabres had that this year.

But if this was reversed the excuse would be Sabres have played 3 times this week and the Flames are fresh…..

Im not sure what else people need to see from the team to believe in whats happening on the ice.

A top 6 forward and 3/4 D away from being a perennial playoff team with cap space
