Tough night for Boss.

Had a great time, Lindy is quick witted and well spoken

2,500 tickets were issued and it was pick a seat night. Lines for season tickets. I was shocked

Lindy is fun to listen too. Nice change from boring Kev, Donnie, and JB.

Lindy was on tonight, really funny

I seriously can’t believe how many people were at this event , at least 2,000 people

With Donnie last year it was maybe 300 people

They did an open house and tour of the locker room and suites. Kinda cool event.

Now go build a winning Team, and not let it be Lip Service again.

Agreed.
I'd like to see some retribution myself.
Go target Bouchard, their best D to really F 'em up back there.

- IonSabres


Skating the Cup around on the Oilers ice would be the best retribution.

Next season......we’ll see if anything lingers.

WNY is dying for winning hockey and begging for this to be anything but false hope

Donnie is likeable, but no one shows up just to listen to him.

If it was Berube instead of Lindy, they probably get a similarly small turnout, between 300 and 500.

Lindy brings lots of nostalgia.

Bet a new guy gets more than Donnie. He's a character. People would want to hear what he has to say.

Part of the Donnie problem is you know exactly what he'll say.

It would have to be an exciting new name.

Berube isn't an exciting name IMO.

I was in the guest services area, nobody could believe the line of people buying season tickets.

Each available seat had a cardboard sleeve over the top to indicate its availability.

There were stacks and lines

All for Lindy imo

Good, now get him the roster help he needs and the bottom 6 revamp he talked about.

Follow along, sickos.

Confirms his interest in a harder to play against bottom six.

Adams career UFA signings is an ugly read,

His top pay outs:

- Taylor Hall
- Connor Clifton
- Erik Johnson

If Adams doesn't deliver, in this offseason, is there a return policy?

If WNY worried half as much about well-paying jobs as they do sports, we might actually be a happy place to live.

Nope. poopty jobs with crap pay and bad sports teams. Except that one team no one cares about.

Of the forwards, I think Iginla is their guy.

Sennecke is the wild card if he's not available at 11, which I don't think he will be.

Beckett really shot up the board this year. I don't have a clue what Adams is thinking, I just hope he starts to fill in the puzzle pieces. He needs to add size with skill and some Nastiness included. IMO

Found out yesterday I have a personal connection to him (friend of friend type).. kid is a super cool guy. Would be thrilled to play for Buffalo but that's irrelevant. Think almost any kid would say that.

Sabres definitely have interest.

Year | UFA signings | RFA signings | Trades

2020 8 9 2

2021 14 5 10

2022 11 8 3

2023 12 6 13

A good % of both UFA and RFA are resigns of players already in the organization. With all those UFA's only 1 is still on the roster. Both years where he traded more, were years he had to tear down his roster due to losing.

The roster has 10 openings, 5 being RFA's:

Krebs
Bryson
Clague
Joker
UPL

Adams needs to add 8 players to the roster, with the assumption that UPL and Krebs get resigned.

Which route do you feel most confident in Adams taking to fill those openings?
