If Dahlin is out any longer and with Tuch hurt. We are probably missing anyway. We could lose our next 6 games (think we are dogs in all of them).

He made some trades in areas he saw we needed some help (size and toughness). He will make a nice move this off-season, I feel confident in that

Dahlin is not ruled out for tomorrow so that is good news. Tuch is still out for a bit which is unfortunate. He definitely helps bring the energy

They've got social media of Dahlin practicing all over the place. He's playing tomorrow unless something strange happens overnight.

He won't be missed in Minnesota. I think the Sabres could have gotten him for a lot less in the off-season.

He's big, physical and defensively responsible.

He's a really nice bottom-sixer with some untapped offensive potential. It's not a sexy move, bit it's solid

- Hank Balling


Was just responding to Taco’s recap. As for Greenway, the untapped potential will likely remain untapped. Seen him play many a time. Shoulder injury has hindered him. We’ll see if he rebounds but he hasn’t been good.

He was really good for you guys before the coaching change from what I’m reading.

He’s got familiarity with our HC.

Hopefully they can unlock some of that potential.

Me too. I’m good with the energy he brings.

Have a little faith Danzo. Dahlin's gonna play and Sabres gonna beat up the Lightning tomorrow. Sabres still well positioned to make the playoffs.
- Hatboro_Swords


They've kinda been beaten up on the last few games.
1-0 SOL to Arizona
6-5 OTL to Buffalo
3-0 W to Detroit
7-3 L to Pittsburgh
4-1 L to Florida
5-4 OTL to Pittsburgh

Have not been helping us with their losses to Pittsburgh and Florida, but they have been getting pounded in goal. 22 GA in their last 5 with one of them being a shutout.

Maybe not?

Schoop said Adams at 330.


Interesting.

Could we see another small move?

Yeah none of the local reporters have said anything about a 3:30 presser, at least not yet

got 2 great buys at the end of the trade deadline. Klingberg and Sudqvist are 2 of the best values in relation to the cost and potential value they bring to the club! Smart shopping!

A run to 8th would be some playoff experience gained...

But, the run to 8th itself is a learning experience in itself. The young Sabres have gotten smacked in some games vs top teams, and have also let some slip away against lower teams.
I guess management thinks they’re not at the point to pay inflated deadline prices for players, even if they have some term left. Let the boys learn more about what it takes to win big games down the stretch run for 8th spot, let the chips fall where they may. They’ll make their moves this summer.

I actually like the moves, think we overpaid some but we got something this team is sorely lacking!! Grit and a bit of toughness. Can't say that I didn't want more but It is what it is.
Only thing I don't understand is not weaponizing are Cap. I really don't care if I helped East teams, if you are building through the draft, could have gotten a few picks retaining. If I don't do it someone else will(Arizona) might as well benefit from the trade to, not like I am gonna stop it by saying No.

Wasn't the Hodgson trade to Buffalo announced like 2 hours after the deadline?

But I think you're right that we are done

Come on, man, it was bargain basement prices this year even discounting Kane. Who was inflated?

I think I was packing up from the office when that happens and ran to my truck which would have been around 430-5pm.

Adams speaking now.

Talking about wanting to add toughness and players that can grow with the team.
