Well if he's really hurt why not keep him here as long as you can. Will learn more here while rehabbing than he would rehabbing in the WHL.

they have saunas in the WHL though

panthers gonna be scary good when they get those d men back

Regardless of being forced or not, the eichel reinhart and risto trades were not intended to make immediate positive impact on the roster.

Its been high time to improve this roster from the outside. Top scorers are producing, top defensmen are doing there thing and so far goaltending has been better this year

There were many ways to go about this starting in the offseason but adams brought the band back

Everyone is forgetting. They didn’t want to be here.
1. Must want to be here
2. The feels. It’s all about the feels

but if the players suck and still want to be here, they gotta go


last season 91 points


12 percent into this season, on pace for 82 points and if not for 6k would be in the bottom of the eastern conference standings


side note we have played more games than many teams below us in the standings

Powerplays have become so repetitive throughout the league, there needs to be change.

The breakout is stupid, the drop pass is stupid, the umbrella is easily defended, rinse and repeat. All that talent limited to a league wide used system that all know how to defend.

I agree the drop pass is stupid

Sabres started 9-2-1 in Ralph’s first year here.

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.

If you finish 9-2-1 and miss the playoffs, that doesn't matter either. We've seen both versions.

Well if that sh!tty start last to long, it affects where you finish.

Well it's not like they had anywhere but to go up. Hopefully they keep that trend going.

Boston is tied late in the 3rd with Toronto.

8-0-1 going into tonight.

Perhaps we shouldn't be scheduling their demise as a team until it actually happens...?

He's right, they'd still have to make a move to play him over VO. Benson to IR would be an easy move.

Of course, if we keep making moves to avoid playing VO....
- Lunaion

I'd be shocked if it's not Benson to IR.

Can't wait to watch him play over VO

Probably. Always a chance they are hiding something from us and throw us a curveball. Or the opposite and Rousek goes right back.

Woof, San Jose stinks!

10 games in, 0-9-1, 10 goals scored, 45 given up, -35 differential already.

>>> We know.

5 high 1st round picks since 21’ with a total of 6 NHL games played. The 2 that got a chance to make the Sabres are on IR less than 10 games in.

Potential and bonding are sky high still.

You guys we are 2 points out of a wild card spot

- They have an abundance of quality prospects with play styles similar to their locked in long term core.

- The NHL roster needs depth and veteran leadership

-.500 hockey with the same holes on the roster

The organization is built around providing B, making A a given. Does the core having another set of career years, carry the net negative group on this roster to the playoffs? Why allow that to even be the situation?

what makes you believe this group is a net negative?

Okposo
Girgs
Krebs
Olofsson
Placeholder rookie rotation for experience
Bryson
Clifton
A 3rd goalie who 4 games in needs to evaluate his stamina

This group needs improvement.

Ok, I mean Olofsson and Bryson don't even play and will be replaced. Benson and Biro were net positives. Clifton isn't even that bad.

4th line stinks this year.

Team still is not a net negative. There will always be players to replace. It's nice that the top 4 and top 9 are not part of that conversation.

The Levi thing is a little too satirical.
