Why is Gerbe the Bible on here. Not many knew about Pesce's list. Could have thrown a wrench in what the Sabres did have planned.

The Sabres would have a 2nd first round pick at the draft.

I hate this idea that they get blindsided by NTC's at the last minute. They know about them from the start.

Wild idea-

Pittsburgh lands Erik Karlsson - needs to clear space

Sabres recieve - Marcus Pettersson, Casey DeSmith and Jeff Petry

Pitt receives - UPL, 2024 1st, Jacob Bryson

Sabres buy out Petry

I don't buy them getting blindsided.

They know, and try anyway.

Doesn't say much.

To try and give them some credit there was that whole fiasco with the Anaheim/LV trade where nobody knew Dadonov had a NTC….allegedly.

They got credit signing Tage and to an extent Cozens.

Whatever happened to the Dahlin signing?

Insiders leaked the entire Seattle roster prior to their big day, they are just sitting quiet about an $80 million dollar extension?

“Crying” = noticing any perceived deficiencies on one of, if not the singular worst, run pro sports franchises in the last 50 years. I don’t think anything else needs to be said to illustrate what a pointlessly obnoxious, monumentally stupid take that is. The crying will stop when the team stops losing. Until then, those of you that prefer to stare at the interior wall if your colon, and mumble about what a great GM Adams is, are going to have to deal with a little bit of “crying”.

He did say we were trading up, he didn't specify where or for whom.

And then KA said we tried to trade back into the 1st for Whalberg just for him to fall to us.

Gerb has insight.

If this is the case, Adams gets an F for this offseason.

3 goalies, 10 NHL D contracts, no forward upgrades, a complete failure of a team that just missed the playoffs last season and then lost Jack Quinn until January.

Again if nothing changes, this is a complete failure and a joke to the fan base.

- Stripes77


Strongly disagree

The team was 3rd in scoring last season, why make huge roster swings.

Sabres needed some good defenseman for when injuries pop up. They signed 2 nhl guys.

I do t hate this scenario:

Over pay hellebuyck for a 1,2 year deal. We’d most likely lose UPL in waiver UNLESS we made other adjustments to avoid it, but what’s the plan for him anyway? Unless we can trade him. We’ve seen enough of a snapshot of him. Big, but prone to giving up untimely goals. We have an army of AHL goalies right now. If we lose him, it’s not the end of the world IMO.
Levi gets 30 games in and has a security blanket for this year, the playoffs, maybe next year too

There are probably 25 guys as good or better than Girgensons, Jost, Okposo who signed for $775k
