I don’t endorse the idea, but it may be part of management’s thinking. The flip side of not hitting fast forward.

It's just running in place at this point

110% not surprised nothing gonna happen.

Stand idol, fine. Then sell our UFA so we have more assets to use this summer.
I agree with Stripes, we can’t sit and build from within for the next 3 years. If we aren’t a playoff team by next year, guys like Dahlin will want out

This is not shocking.
I will also not be shocked if little to no moves are made in the off-season. Patience. Draft and develop. Wait for eastern conference teams to self destruct.
- PrinceChill

regardless of whatever trades are made today, sabres aren't competing with the top. but 'waiting it out' aint it.

the idea is we're stronger next year with all the developing players here.

but they must add by subtraction. must

Sounds like a few teams are still in the mix for James van Riemsdyk. Vegas remains. I wonder about the Avs still, and if Minny's circled back.

i havent seen a single guy today that Id want the sabres to be a part of.

i mean, gudas, sure. but as a ufa, thats a non starter without and ext

At this point, all of the guys you'd want have already been moved. Maybe Crouse is the only one left for me. Unless they did something crazy and got Josi and Saros from the Preds or someone that you wouldn't believe would even be traded.

So we just need to wait for
NJ
Ottawa
TB
Boston
Toronto
Carolina
Rangers
Islander
Penguins
Florida

To all self destruct.

Seems reasonable

seems like a sound plan

So does that make Gerbe a liar?

Looks like KA is going to have to have a meeting with the Bobs.

You can’t rush these things

regardless of whatever trades are made today, sabres aren't competing with the top. but 'waiting it out' aint it.

the idea is to continue to be a cap floor team for as long as possible.

but they must subtract salary in order to do so

FTFY

one of my dream trades is getting saros and fabbro. moving real goalies is almost non existent at the tdl. over the summer ill be banging the table for a real goalie.

crouse would be a solid add too, but if i were to prioritize, it would first be saros, responsible defenseman, middle 6 tough to play against forward.

All with term.

UPL and Comrie next year you know it's coming

The defense corps can still use an upgrade, but they get absolutely zero help from the forward group. To a man, they all stink on the wrong side of center ice, Tage Thompson's line included. Now, I think Granato knows this, which is why he runs the system he does, and I think it has resulted in a net positive in the win column, but there's only so much a defense corps can do when your forwards don't play defense at all. For the most part, it leads to entertaining hockey, so I'm good with it.

This is eerily similar to Florida last year.
It has taken the new coach 3/4 of a season to get the new system implemented and get the players to buy in.

We are now seeing playoff hockey and how the Sabres stack up given they are in the stretch run.
It's no shock that the team deficiencies are being exposed...players, coaches and systems alike.

if they do, that's the point a lot of pro-KA people will scratch their heads a bit. That's a really hard one to sell when there's a clear playoff expectation next season.

So we just need to wait for

Kevyn would tell us to all be patient, and that he’s not going to fast forward this rebuild.
