Lol not a single player on this roster besides dahlin, benson and maybe tage should be untouchable

OH MY

you guys were beating your chest that he was going to be a calder finalist

he was far from that type of player


he didn't move the needle for me

Benson making the team was an indictment on last offseason's lack of moves more than it was a credit to him

Add atleast 1 more Summer to that and then in season Stupidity last year.

Benson was drafted 13th OA, this years draft is at 11, he will be that much better than Benson at 18! Dont forget to add Bensons assumed linear progression and...look out.

The Sabres are the bestest paper team in the whole wide world!

Well Kevyn, I think these are the conversations you should be having and see what can happen

Perhaps we can get the whole story. You never know what crap is being floated on the other side of the trade.

I agree, but don't close the door on possible conversations, and even if it's not Samuelsson maybe Joker or Clifton comes up!

Agreed.

is it too much for a gm or an agm to say we are going to camp and the best 23 guys are going to make the roster?


if I was a 20 year old d man, I would be so much more to be excited to hear that vs he will get time in rochester

What's your solution then?

Just consistently draft big guys and hope they work out better?

I just pointed to "Inherent problem" with drafting around 11. I didn't point blame at anyone specifically. What you have to do is be a better GM to recognize what players are actually excelling at professional hockey and promote those players, instead of shoving the square peg in the round hole just to prove you were right to draft them.

Savioe is 5 (frank)ing 9. Odds of him being Martin St Louis are slimmmmmmm

2 games into the mens tourny, how are the Sabres players on Canada doing:

Cozens: 1G

Byram: 2A's


for reference for those who get triggered easily,

PLD 1G, 1A

Until that's official he will haunt my dreams

I snorted in the office at this. Well done.

Dubas is definitely signing Zemgus. His wife is from Pitt

Yeah, story was that he wanted to go there, for her, last year but they didn't want to offer him a contract. Looks like they may blow it up this summer, if so he's a cheap stop gap vet they can bring in.

Isak Rosen slim or Noah Ostlund slim?

His point is... Girgs couldn't outproduce Benson at the same age... in a lesser league....
- DirtyDan

And our point is, people had shiny new toy syndrome with Girgensons, too. Among a dozen others.

Yeah, at this point we should be hoping for a Mats Zuccarello, that's his ceiling IMO.
