1 of your bottom 3 d will be your 7th d next year

I think stillman has #7 written all over him.

Joker still plays a roll for cheap on this team.

Add ry-jo and maybe a provorov type guy IMO

So who’s out of the 7 listed? Stillman? Boosh? Or Johnson starts in Rochester?

“Sabres have picked up 13 of a possible 16 points in their past 8 games but have only gained 3 points on the 2nd wildcard spot in that time.”

This is why you can’t fall behind. It’s nearly impossible to gain ground in the NHL, especially with the loser point.

It was over weeks ago. But whatever, it made it more exciting for people to pretend

If they beat Florida in regulation they’d be three points out with two games in hand……..

The season was not over weeks ago lol

Sammy Dahlin
Power Trade Acquisition
Stillman Boosh

Johnson in the A for 3/4 of season.
Joker is trade bait.

Dahlin and power saw some ice time together.

I think power had the primary and dahlins goal this afternoon.

It was a nice look on the back end. Futuristic...

Every management group makes mistakes on player evaluations, as nobody goes 100%.

The Sabres management group is no different.

Yes if the Sabres won the games they lost their record would be good, I agree

You love the what if game. You play it all the time.

The Sabres haven’t come close since they were at 50% to make it around the deadline

They tanked to under 7% two weeks ago and never rose

It was over then. Unless you don’t believe in math

There definitely was a point in time for like 3-4 weeks where the team has some horrible luck luck and bad bounces.

The islanders got 2 points from the Sabres over a goal that was literally kicked in

Levi is never going to roch

I honestly thought no goalie could go right from the nhl from college. He is proving that wrong.


He has things to work on still

Needs to be a 1a/b situation. Need a Saros or Andersen or Demko

I wouldn’t trust Upl/ Levi. Which is what we are probably looking at.

Levi looks great. But 82 games is a long season.

I do like Upl. He’s young. He could be a solid back up and take some steps forward.

If they are intent on Levi Upl. Upgrade the goalie coach. Irbe… make it happen.

UPL is a solid backup? His numbers are literally the worst numbers in the NHL. (Including backups)

I think only 3 goalies including backups have worse numbers (Last time I checked. Which was last week)

UPLs game is actually also terrible.

Bad angles
Weak glove hand
Looks small at times in net
Bad hockey IQ
Can’t read a pass across to save his life

I’m relegating myself to seeing Upl/Levi next year. Which means we need Irbe to fix Upl.

Definitely “steps up” when you are literally the worst goalie in the league

I think the Sabres need a real backup / co starter

I could not agree more.

1a/b goalie.
Top 4 d.
Bottom 6 sandpaper
Irbe
Dahlin signed for 8 years

That’s my wish list for the offseason.

Bad thing is UPL is out of Waivers. Could see a Talbot Valarmov Frederick Anderson signing.

Not to be a Richard, but if that is true, wow. He is brutal with defensive awareness around his net.
