and Fitz, Asplund, Vinny, Bryson, Bjork. Probably missing a few.

He's not cut out to be a GM. He should be an agent.

UPL is starting tomorrow. Bet they send Levi down for the night. Send Johnson down on Sunday. Keep stringing things along. Can't just let someone claim Comrie. That would look bad.
- Lunaion


If they do the above, would that mean Comrie would need to be the backup for UPL for the game?

I thought they hadn't even been dressing Comrie as the backup recently.

Seeing the Florida Panthers having 5 of their 6 defenseman playing 20 or more minutes a night makes me wonder if the Sabres approach, essentially playing Dahlin and Power big minutes, Samuelsson playing right at 20, and none of the other 3 playing more than 17 minutes a night, is part of the problem.

Another example of getting the good players on the team more support, not less.

Also, can the coach try something new with the defense lineup instead of trotting the same (frank)ing pairings night after night?

How about:

Power - Dahlin
Ryan Johnson - Jokiharju
Samuelsson - One of the bums

The roster and makeup of the team needs a shakeup.

They need more players that play like mother(frank)ers on the ice.

--- Dylan Cozens++ for Brady Tkachuk

I would hate trading Cozens as he's one of the few who get the importance of being hard to play against, but his age, contract and ability are commensurate in a big trade like that.

Not supporting your players has probably had a hand in making Dahlin not reach his total potential yet. Basically learning by himself as he went. And there doing the same thing to Power and Levi. Coaching may Suck for this team, but the Leadership and mentorship on the ice blows to.

It’s happening now, Adams has backed himself into a corner and now is forced to make a move…Adams UFA signings now have to be waived because they are overpaid and no other GM wants them.


I wonder if out of all the mistakes Adams has made, ballooning the Amerks payroll 500,000% will be the last straw for Terry.

Ottawa wouldn't consider it for Cozens.

Why would they for Mittelstadt?

Let me rephrase my response:

Sure, we can swap Casey for Cozens.

Just make sure you're wearing a ski mask and have a gun when making the deal with the Ottawa GM.

Imagine a top line of Eichel Tkachuk Skunk, Eichel pushed for them to draft Brady.

A lot of imagining with this team over the last 7 or so years. There was always the potential to be very good. Shame the Organization is run so Horrible that a lot of talent is playing for other Teams. Any type of Competent Organizational Leadership and we are probably having different discussions.

- Buff36


No, as I still have hope for him being a sturdy 4/5 quality defender, plus I don't think Tampa would want to add salary on a deal like that.

I'm sure Terry isn't happy, but they are only 1 year deals for 60% of the season.
The money shouldn't be the point per se, the suspect decision making should be the point of contention.

From The Athletic - Tim Graham subbingfor Matt Fairburn...on just one suggested to improve the team...
Hits it on the head....well, other than replacing KA, Granato & Staff

Buffalo Sabres
Make a substantial roster addition: What’s that Einstein quote about the definition of insanity? Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams stood pat at the 2023 trade deadline, essentially stood pat in 2023 free agency and has barely done anything to improve his roster through the first half of the 2023-24 season. Adams recently traded a 2025 conditional seventh-round draft choice for forward Eric Robinson, already a healthy scratch and perhaps more expendable than that. Buffalo thought it was good enough to break its 12-year playoff slump but keeps showing over and over again a 13th straight season is looming. Relying merely upon year-to-year youth development and a 22-year-old goaltender has been a woefully insufficient plan. — Tim Graham
