Samuelsson and Dahlin out.

Dahlin is hurt because he takes a beating and no one is tough on our team to stand up to the other team.

Samuelsson is turning into glass.

Gonna be a hell of a defense down the stretch.

- sabresfan69


Other than what the Sabres say, I have seen nothing to believe Dahlin didn't get concussed against Florida.

To be fair I think he tried to get a better goalie and was forced to plan B or maybe C. Same thing happened at the deadline. Greenway always smacked of plan B to me and Gerbe confirmed it today. Why is he struggling to bring established pieces through trades?

Seriously, I think it gets super tanky around here...

1. Sign injured goalie to get to floor
2. Sign boosh, vinnie, olofsson (helps lose), clague
3. Start season with 3 goalies/
40+ year old
Rookie
Guy with 20 nhl games or less
4. Start and play young bucks

Fast forward to stillman and greenway at the deadline

Mysterious injuries to top defensive pairing

Generational talent / strong top 10

Its gonna get really tanky here in out

*then you can wash the "leadership " tandem of girgensons and okposo gonzo....

Make it obvious and make some adjustments

I think Greenway belongs on the 3rd or 4th line unless he starts scoring goals. Not sure I would call that a tank move, as he’s a legit NHL player. Stillman is….not good. I do agree that the sudden rash of day to day injuries does make it feel like they’re aware the playoffs are a vanishingly slim possibility and have begun to look forward.

I expect him to do his job and get NHL players. He asked for Bjork

Kisakov weighs a buck fifty and has 7 points this season with the Amerks.

Poltapov and Kisakov will never see the NHL and there were quality defenders still on the board.

- sabresfan69


Adams took the only offer available to him for Hall.

If he didn’t trade him at all, imagine the backlash ?

Lose-lose situation.

I won’t argue the draft picks, that’s perfectly valid criticism. But badgering the guy due to a NMC I’ll never understand

His plan was Matt Murray and Marco Kasper.

Which has absolutely no impact on next season.

Marco Kaspar is not a win now move. That does not seem a likely move for either team at this time of year.

Hall wanted to go to Boston.

Do you seriously believe the Rangers had the best offer for Kane or is that where he wanted to go ?

Greenway could definitely replace girgensons and okposo moving forward.

1st line minutes = tankarriffic....

Rash of goalie and top paring out / with top 3 forward. (I do believe tuch is hurt) ,but his injury may have led to extra tanking....

I've seen this story before...

Extend the coach, so he scratches the guy that doesn't deserves it. Making immediate winning coaching moves, less likely.

Was this past offseason.

I was more or less agreeing with you that Comrie wasn’t plan A.

I’m just sure as hell happy Campbell wasn’t plan A. Imagine that contract on the books the next several years.

Goalies have more variance than any other position in the league. There are maybe 6 or 7 goalies you can count on to be consistent year in and year out.

Comrie was a swing and a miss, try again this offseason.

No I believe the team that Kane help win three cups for did him a favor instead of digging their heels and saying they needed a better offer.

Just like I think Adams did Hall a favor in return for those dedicated 37 games Hall gave us.

Or you could be full of bologna to put it nicely.

Kane wanted to go to New York, he nearly cried in the media when they acquired Tarasenko.

Hall nearly signed with Boston in the offseason, that was where he wanted to go. Vegas had a better offer, he wanted to go to Boston.

So franking be it.

Can’t believe we are still talking about Taylor Hall

The Taylor Hall trade was awful

YOU are making it more complicated by making excuses.

Pretty obvious, classy organizations try and make sure they treat their hall of famers with respect. Trade them where they want to play.

Also, pretty obvious, the less classy organizations like buffalo try and find good spots for veteran players. Helps with any future free agents....

I don’t think it was. I think Hall and the Sabres probably had some sort of handshake agreement.
