i'm hearing that in order to help the desperate need at defense in a playoff race the team will be dressing three 2nd round picks stacked in a trench coat this weekend

The Sabres have traded Erik Portillo to LA for a 2023 3rd-round pick.

Nice asset in return for a player that wasn’t going to sign.

Ah selling. What Adams is good at

There isn't much left out there that fits the bill to help this team now and in the future.

Stop making people up.

You're the hockey expert.

Guy admits to not watching the buffalo Sabres for 2 1/2 years up until the Detroit game.

Same guy has been arguing with Sabres fans who do watch every game for 2 1/2 years. On Sabres hockeybuzz

Couldn't they have just kept Bloom and traded Portillo to LA and used that 3rd for Stillman?

Adams is absolutely petrified of any sort of expectations so he’s going to sell while on the cusp of breaking the drought.

Lets me guess you stomped your feet and jumped up and down too
Yawn.


Yawn....

Whaaaaaaaaa someone doesn't agree with me.

If you can't tell the difference between Quinn and Peterka's season at this point....

Is Krebs a difference maker?

And, of course, the point of all of this: Adams good moves don't nearly add up to his goaltending and build failures.

He is making a choice right now to keep this team out of the playoffs though there are glaring needs and players out there to fill them and resources to get those players.

He has made a two-year + decision to make NHL goaltending a blackhole on this roster.

He has made a two-year long decion to allow teams to hit Rasmus Dahlin all game every game. He chose to end that with a dubious choice yet to hit the lineup. I, myself, pointed out a better option about 20 days ago when the Leafs waived him. I guess I'm more on the ball than Kevo.

You don't have to agree with my criticisms, but pretending they arent longstanding, before-the-fact critiques that have proven to be correct is dishonest. The roses Kevy Adams walks around on have been earned largely on the backs of players the previous GM brought in.

We could have gotten a 1st and 2nd as a rental in 2 years if we didn't sign Chychrun.

Just pathetic.

Nothing we do but move on, Adams was not going to part with Savoie.

Arizona asked for Savoie, Samuelsson and a first, yes?

Yes, but that was early on and Adams said no chance in hell.

I'm pretty sure that's what 89 said the asking price was. I'm trying to confirm. If so, good for him for not pulling the trigger.
