Say from 85 and if things fall into place 97-100 - Buff36
Basically 85-100 points đ
That's 39 -36- 7
Or 47-29- 6
That's too big of a gap. |

Outside of Johnson who else was there really to go out and get in FA? Klingberg? Unfortunately, the trade front fizzled on Pesce. Not sure who else was possible to get. - JCSabs06
Travis Hamonic, Ian Cole, Dmitri Orlov |

I'll go out on a limb and say 91 Pts - miss the playoffs by 1 win.
Who'd have thought no material changes to this roster will yield the same results. Even if you substitute 1 cup cake flour = ž cup sifted all-purpose flour + 2 tablespoons cornstarch - you still get the same cake.... - JCSabs06

So;
1. We have Levi vs the car crash we had in goal last year
2. Johnson and Clifton taking away minutes from the Brysons of the world
3. Our young stars are a year older
and, we're getting fewer points.......interesting.... - turbo044
Counter arguments.
1) Levi - complete unknown. Hope heâs really good, but a rookie with no pro experience.
2) Johnson is not good and is regressing at age 35. He may not even be full time. Clifton is fine for 3rd pair anything else is less than ideal.
3) progression isnât linear. A year older doesnât mean a year better. You hope it does but It doesnât always. Also âsophomore slumpâ is a term for a reason.

Levi will not post better than a 2.85 and .899 this year if he plays more than 25 games. |

Didn't he clear waivers yesterday? - TheHank
Termination requires a different type of waiver.

There's a strong to likely possibility we score less than last year. |

And if a defensive system is employed, with upgrades to blackholes that were the Brysons and Olof. You think we get scored on less.

I appreciate your opinion.

Muscle, every winning team has a talented core surrounded by muscle.
The Sabres have a talented core surrounded by mental patients one strong wind away from total brain damage. |

Sucks they'll have to actually play the games as they might end up with 75 pts this year.... |

Counter arguments.
1) Levi - complete unknown. Hope heâs really good, but a rookie with no pro experience. True, but the chances he's not >>>UPL/Comrie of 2022 is small
2) Johnson is not good and is regressing at age 35. He may not even be full time. Clifton is fine for 3rd pair anything else is less than ideal. Johnson could be blind and be better than Bryson - he literally was the worst Dman in the league and Joker was a disaster when used in the 4 roll. For Clifton, look at his usage with Boston last year - first 25 games, 1st pair, then McAvoy came back; next 40 games; 2nd pair then Orlov was traded for; last 20 games and playoffs; 3rd pair. He wasn't good in the 3rd pair but was extremely good as a 2 and a 4. He plays best when paired with an elite defenseman. Too bad we don't have one of those....wait...Power
3) progression isnât linear. A year older doesnât mean a year better. You hope it does but It doesnât always. Also âsophomore slumpâ is a term for a reason. - ImThatGuy Sure, it's a possibility, it's also a possibility they take astep forward like Cozens did.

Kind of think they just signed Johnson for a year because they couldn't get a true top 4 and punted for a year. Lot of punting this year. - Lunaion
Seems like players still saying NO.
Here's my opinion Adams and Company have done a lot to change the culture and built up a nice system. Some outside see the change and the possible growth. But players also see and talk about when you aren't willing to go that extra mile to get a player or Add to your team to improve it. Yes Adams is trying and listening but how many times did he not pull the trigger on a possible deal. It's nice to be patient, but agents and players take notice of things if it happens over a period of time. |

Its July 5th. Not September 1st.
Lets relax for the summer. Kick the feet up. Get a tan. (Or wallow inside whatever your preference is)
Free agency wasn't going to make us contenders. Trades need to be made.
