Interesting you say that about Kulich, when he was one of our better Forwards.

- Buff36


I'm not sure what drives that chart and he played very well but so did the whole team.

His cf% and fenwick are under 50% so far and his relative is in the double digits, negativley. Small samples for everyone but the whole team is basically dominating possesionally so far and he has dragged down those numbers for each line compared to the regular top 6 guys.

Not knocking him just comparing based off the rest of the team he doesn't deserve to be more than a replacement at this point. A very solid one so far.

I like that they're using him in Peterka's spot in practice on line 2. Get him the reps.

Adams isn't going to do that but I think if Cozens has another goose egg against Pittsburgh lindy needs to consider shifting him to wing and trying Krebs or even Kulich at C.

Quinn-Kulich-Cozens sounds tempting to me

He's improved every game. Would like to see if he could keep it going. Why I put him on the 3rd line in my lineup.

That 3rd line is eating. No way it gets split up right now. And he's not what they're looking for there.

Sabres have enough that everyone can Eat, and Kulich was pretty good Defensively last game. We don't know what we have in Kulich and unless Greenway is part of the future, I would like to find out.

They aren't splitting up that 3rd line right now. They've been finding out with him in the top 6 while JJ has been down. He's done a good job filling in but he comes out or plays 4th line when Peterka is back.

Maybe If Greenway reverts but Lindy has them playing the right way.

That’s cute.

Watch the games and you can easily see who is better.

Vs the kings. Upl blew it Goal number 2 vs the kinda is inexcusable.

Game 1 UPL had a rough night with his angles and see through traffic.

Skinner has 100% more goals than Benson this season...

I'm no mathematician but I don't think 1 is 100% more than 0. It's undefined. Anything multiplied by it is 0.

Im to the point that keep Krebs in the Top6 or he sits.

3rd line nicely constructed and 4th line are for the blockheads. Just dont think he fits on the 4th this year like he did last few.

Sounds like Kulich has a good shot at playing line 2 on Wednesday. Being pretty cautious with Peterka.

With NAK out, he seems like the obvious fit on 4th line to me.

A top 6 spot isn't there for him, and he's not first in line for it.

I don't mind slotting him on the 4th line and moving up if there's an injury in game or someone's having an off night.

He's been good on every line so far. Elevating the 4th line, keeping up in the top 9.

Well take it and run with it, just makes the Sabres a better Team if he does.

>>> On Saturday’s episode of “The Hot Stove” on SiriusXM NHL Network Radio with Ryan Paton, Dennis Bernstein and yours truly, I mentioned there is noise surrounding the Buffalo Sabres. To reiterate: if things fall off the rails in Buffalo this month, there is some chatter making the rounds of a GM change. My understanding is the Sabres have someone in mind for the position, but that doesn’t mean Kevyn Adams will be shown the door. If a new GM is brought in, Adams is expected to move up to a higher managerial title. The Sabres got a much-needed win on Saturday, but let’s see how the rest of the month unfolds.

https://www.thefourthperi...ne-for-a-monster-contract

The only thing I’ve really heard that’s somewhat similar I guess to what Dave laid out in this article is a succession plan type thing near the end of last season\.

Adams ➡️ Hockey Ops overseeing role
Karmanos ➡️ GM
Ventura ➡️ promotion

Idt this is happening as of now tbc\. \(1/2\)

I also would be stunned if Adams is in trouble early in the season\. It would have to go unbelievably bad to not see out the season at the least\.

You don’t rip the plug early after letting him hire a coach & having a roster build plan in place\.

It was last spring

Been mentioned by many here.

I would hope they do this no matter what and it's always been the plan. Makes sense to keep both Kamaronas and Ventura here.

New titles for everyone. That's some bold change. Failing into a promotion. That's the kind of change that should happen after some success.
