It's behind the paywall

Let's TM this thing!!
- Buff36

Don’t even need to TM it.

Need a starting goalie. If they just did that it’d be great.

Could use a d upgrade.

Need bjustead.


I know vibes and all but there has to be a few tweaks that can be made.

What is your thought on where he slots?
And McCabe is the savior?
- IonSabres

McCabe and the hawks wanting a 1st. No thank you. He was also apart of the problem and part of losing his entire career. See Buffalo and Chicago. Chicago is also his home

The problem is ….. in order to entice Johnson to sign. He will want the power / mitts college treatment.

Sign his ELC. Burn a year and play remaining regular season games

So the Sabres might be forced to have him on the roster

I think the Sabres need a legitimate top 4 guy.

Chicken man type level.

With Bryson, Clague, joker, Lybuskin.


We need a clear cut upgrade from them

I still think goalie is more important.

If they could do both…. Super duper

His advanced stats are not very good but better than Bryson but then again who isn't.

I agree, but if you look around at what might be available. I am not giving up a 1st for a Murphy McCabe type. Only 1st I would move would be for Chychrun or Ekholm or Theodore type.

I have no idea what your primary point is.
You seem to be all over the board in this discussion.

My original point was no to McCabe as his fit was as LD. Only way it makes financial sense was at 2LD and move Power to RD...which I certain,y don't prefer.

Samuelsson and Power seem to play alright together and I don't think it will take Johnson long to take a top 4 spot.

They can want a 1st it doesn't mean they will get it. As for Johnson, trading for a defenseman isn't going to change that.

Jensen is averaging 21 TOI has solid possession metrics while getting 65% D-zone strats.
That looks decent to me....just need to extend him with the trade.
He would help quite a bit.

- Buff36

Ya, I'd rather have those 2 on different pairs and lock down 45+ toi.
They can be paired when chasing a needed goal.

Of course that's the only reason I made a trade for Chicken man.
Chychrun Dahlin
Samuelsson Power they both can flip flop
Joker Lyubushkin they can both flip to and they will only be on the ice for what 12 -14min a game.
Then Johnson signs takes Joker's spot learns for a couple years and either Chychrun or Samuelsson become trade chips in 3yrs.

OK, you earned the Defensive GM spot.
Now, what ya got for Offense so we can elevate Adams to his rightful spot as President of Hockey Ops

Is Jensen and a former teammate coming to Buffalo!!

Adams is being extremely careful. He knows the team in general likes each other and he doesn’t want to screw up the “vibe”.

Lybuskin mentioned it after the Tampa win and that is why Adams was with the team in Florida for the last few days. He’s observing and learning
- Sabretooth9

Yeah, I'm guessing KA is considerably smarter then some of the posters on hockeybuzz.

Its obvious the organization isn't gonna make a move to set this franchise back, when they are the guys that assembled the team. They like the team.

If we had picked up Wayne Simmonds when he was waived Peterka could be sitting out and Simmonds could have murdered Verhaeghe.
- lacaprup

simmonds is a corpse.

i used to absolutely love him on the flyers.

I am Happy, trying to make it Happier. So losing Mitts and Comrie would destroy this team.
- Buff36

Mitts is a big part of this team moving forward.

You watch the games and follow the Sabres religiously, how or why would you think they trade mitts?

He's working hard, scoring points and part of the core.


Comrie can go

Well I included Jeannot in that trade AGM. But if we want to really TM this thing.
Olofsson to Vegas 50% Retained and there 2nd Back for.
Vegas's 1st 2023 and Kaedan Korczak
Then:
SJ: Buff 2023 1st Vegas 2023 1st Joker and Rights to Portillo
Buffalo: Timo Meier

the best thing the sabres have going for them is secondary scoring

because of that I would not move casey or olofsson at the deadline

Because Chychrun might make us a better overall team.

- Buff36

I will agree with whomever said it last night, Sammy had his best game in a long, long time. Maybe he sacks up the rest of the year?
