That's why you Draft Defenseman so you start filling those spots with young D on ELC
- Buff36

Adams missed that one

What's your plan for the upcoming trade deadline and offseason?

Plan on adding any quality forward or defenseman of note, or just making minimal moves like last offseason and hoping internal growth is the answer?

Do nothing. Probably should sell a few pieces TBH.

Never add, adding good pieces will ruin this franchise for all of eternity and beyond that.

I asked as the clock is already ticking on a contract for a very important player.

The fact that Garikov and Tyler Motte are two “big trade” pieces being talked about is why the NHL is dumb.

Are they though? Not Chychrun, Boeser, Meier, Kane, Karlsson? Tarasenko, ROR and Horvat already traded.

Motte didn't even make it on this list.

Yes give me more of those names above .

Today I’ve got TSN guys reporting on “useful player” Tyler Motte and Garikov is heading towards a finish.

I’m tired of this build up to big things for the NHL deadline to be a flop that we have nearly every year.

My opinion on what the Sabres are going to do?

Very little. Maybe a guy like Murphy from Chicago.
Sign Johnson and act like they brought in help.
They probably do not see themselves as a legitimate contender. Even for a wild card.
KA is not going to do anything to jeopardize the future for a chase....


What do I want the Sabres to do?

Stay the course. Do not trade any rostered players, because they clearly are playing well because of their bonds and vibes.

Maybe trade picks or prospects.

Do not trade olofsson or mitts or anyone else IMO

Yep , time to tim Murray this whole team.

130 games played since placing dead last overall.

Good thinking 👍
- Boss34

Oh come on Boss.
This line of thinking is just rhetoric.

What is the trade for Meier look like to you?
General framework is a 1st, Young Roster Player, Prospect.
Would a 2024-1st unprotected, Mitts, Rosen/Ostund be Murraying it?
If so, exactly how? (Mitts is included to offset a 2024-1st vs 2023-1st)

chicken man/dahlin
power/samuelsson
scandella/joker or lyubushkin
- homiedclown

And how long is 1OA Owen Power a #3?

I'll hang up and listen.

A trade for chickenman is a need now trade.

Not happening ☝️

Well in fact it would. Didn’t you know it was decided that if the Sabres trade what you suggested above they will never be able to have any picks or prospects ever again?

Problem with meier, seems like we would need to pay more then a team with short term goals (win this season)

He would be a now and later guy.

Stop trading rostered players that have out us is a good position.

And how long is 1OA Owen Power a #3?

Its hang up and listen.

2 and half years of term left

d is our biggest weakness and he plays best in the up tempo game donnie is playing

it makes sense as getting the best players should be the goal


you guys just want to hoard the prospects that will be buryied in rochester

128 points in his last 134 games. the “one game sample size” Sabres fans “Tim Meier is trash”
- ImThatGuy

Most of missed that post

Legit question
One game sample yes

Did ur opinion change watching him last night ?

Yes 1 game

That guy
you realize our opinion means 💩

Imo

Wasn't great
Wasn't bad

Liked that he can carry puck over line
That's a big + for buffalo
We're high in league in doing that

Mixed it up in scrums
But really didn't do anything current sabres are not already doing.

Do I still want him

Hell yeah

At $ 9.5-10 million

Think I rather go with a forward at 5 and a defenseman at 5 million

Well in fact it would. Didn’t you know it was decided that if the Sabres trade what you suggested above they will never be able to have any picks or prospects ever again?

Let's trade away a bunch of good young players because they will never be good nhl players.

Because trading guys that put us in this position, is a really grand idea.

Speed this whole process up.
So what if they are the youngest team in the league.

It's now or never!!!!

Power is a #2 today. Playing him on the 2nd pair is a big strength of this team.

What's chickenrun's next deal look like?

8+ million or 9+ million

Could you possibly gut the team for a less reliable more injury prone guy?

Definitely should pay more then other potential trade partners , teams that will pay for his undervalued contract in a tight situation.

Definitely tim. Murray this team. Good 1st move.

Last place to first place in 2 years ☝️🤔

I'm assuming power hasnt peaked as an nhl player?

Imagine him getting better? He would be a #1 on any other franchise starting next year.

As a rookie, sure slide him down. Long term like adding a chickrun is not happening.

You see this.

We have 2 former allstars on the 4th line, how many teams can say that 😉

you keep using this injury thing as a reason not to get him

bust28 misses a lot more games than the chicken man


d is our weakness

chicken man is a hell of a d man with great term for the next 2 and a half years


worry about 2026 when you see how many prospects are actually good

homer post of the day

not now but better be next season
- homiedclown

The thing is it is now or never to acquire a guy like Timo or Chiqorin.

Those guys are getting moved now and are 99.9% not getting moved again after they get moved.
