this team is closer to 5 players away than 1 or 2 away to compete for a cup


no limping into the 8th seed, but to be a really good team

They could sign 5 all-stars and this coaching staff would find a way to screw it up Royally. 100% trash.

5.5mill of wasted Cap sitting in Rochester if Jost clears!
- Buff36

Big part of the reason Terry didn’t like Botterill. Didn’t Terry say we had to stop wasting money on players for Rochester a couple years ago?

2 real centers, 2 real defensemen, a real goalie. That might not even do it

Couple real assistant coaches, a GM that’s more than a rink manager and a president who isn’t a stubborn clueless fanboy that can do more than ask his rink manager questions about why the team sucks monkey taint

Do you really think that Terry wouldn't have just as much input if he wasn't president? If you do have I got a bridge to sell you

So lazy to leave off the RFA's they will bring back. It may be $25m, but they need to do a lot with that money + it probably isn't their budget to begin with.
- Lunaion

There's 4 key RFA's. They're not really just going to bring all of them back, right?

Are they really going to just bring back all of UPL, Jokiharju, Krebs and Mittelstadt and sell that as progress?

They cannot possibly do that, can they?

There are only 3 teams worse (talent + coaching + management) in the NHL. Change my mind.
- SDSabre

And Arizona isn't one of the three.

Let that sink in.

So question then, which goalie currently in the NHL, do you think has us in a playoff spot?

If they have blame, it's because they could've markedly altered the outcome of this season. So there should be at least a dozen goalies that would've done this...can we name one though?

Helly wasn't getting that done even with WPG sv%, so can scratch out the one big name we were attached to. Who else?

If the answer is no one, then I think we need to reevaluate where we place blame.

Are you a former goaltender?

Would it surprise you ? And has Mitts priced himself out with all these long-term contracts Adams has signed already.

While I'd be giddy if we got it done, I'd imagine I'd hate the contract.
- QuinnFan

Worrying about paying good players is definitely a problem to poop sack teams like the Sabres.

Instead, they'll overpay bums and sell it off as contracts that don't really hurt the team long term, even though they do.

I expect it, sadly.

Just a Question for you. Is there a player on a long term recently signed contract that you would trade to keep Mitts ?

No, and I know where you're going with your question.

The answer is still no, well, unless Samuelsson counts.

Yes Samuelsson counts, and No I wasn't going with Dahlin or Power. That was asked because Hank seems very frustrated.

I am not trading former number one picks who are good players because the team has poop for brains coaches and management.

How many more players do we need to see leave and find great success that everyone female doged about sucking while on the Sabres?

Hey Dahlin and Power, you should just go be great in the toughest league on earth despite inept and pathetic coaching and team management.

Doesn't work that way.

Well they will keep leaving or asking out until that upper management is changed. There's a couple already getting frustrated.

Seems like the pk is currently having some big issues

Girgs is specifically built for the pk , they miss him
- Boss34

I thought Erik Johnson was in the lineup for the sole purpose of his penalty kill wizardry.

Yes, and fans will continue to blame good players for not being able to overcome totally inept coaching and team management.

I agree and have been saying for years that Dahlin needed better mentorship and know there doing it to Power and Levi. It's been a ongoing thing for over a decade.

This team is no better with Girgensons as they are without him, he has no business playing 1 st line center, that is just a complete joke.
- SABRES 89

It would be a legend move if Zemgus on the 1st line is just Donnie trolling Adams 😅😆😆

- kingcong39

Funny cause are PK has only been ranked in the Teens once since Girgensons been here. Basically mid to lower 20's. What 28th last year with the Lion Eater playing PK.

Here's the sad part, Okposo will get another 1 year deal again if he wants to stay and also Girgensons will get another 2 year deal.

People act like this is a beer or rec league where players can just be great no matter what.

Sure as hell doesn't work that way.
