Define making moves

Tuch. Cozens. Tage. Quinn and etc.

The big guns on this roster are the issue.

You need to dump them off but can’t due to contracts.

Tuch and samuelsson are the only ones where it seems reasonable

- Sabretooth9


Call Philly to see if they want Risto 2.0 for a 1st?

Sure, give him $8m a year until he's 38. That will go perfectly with the Dahlin and Cozens deals. I like Tuch but what are we doing here? This is another failed core.
- Hank Balling



Tuch is the least of the problems imo

I would extend him and move cozens if need be.

You can’t keep moving out the few guys that play without physicality heart


I think our biggest problem is guys like Samuelsson.

Handing out contracts before they proved anything imo

I mean they're both lousy hockey players and Trouba is getting the bigger bucks, so I'd assume they'd do that.

Really one is averaging 21min a night is a positive player and has 4pts. The other barely plays 14min and has 1 point

Cozens top priority to move.
Then Samuellson, Quinn
We can figure out how to make it work after that.
We have the worst second line in the NHL.
Get a real 1c and move Tage to the wing
Get a real 2c
Get Dahlin a real partner

- lulags


If Tage aint at least a 2C we are F*cked!

Some good ideas out there.

Nothing will change until Terry sells and we get a real owner who isn't an absolute shill.

That is a heavy workload to ask for

Cozens makes 7 million and his value is in the toliet.

Quinns value is also in the toliet. 2 major surgeries and skates like he’s 35 years old and is slow

Samuelsson i can see. Tuch also

Getting a 1C and 2C will be extremely hard

Best bet like you said. Sell Samuelsson. Tuch quinn and go from there

Not even the end of October and I might be done watching Full Games! That's what I said. And you keep licking that Lollipop because there D system looks exactly the Same. CHAOTIC
- Buff36


Should we not expect some kind of adjustments (grace period) to a new system and coaching staff?

I’m blaming Samuelsson for sucking badly .

Most here pretended he was some really good defensive player when healthy.

He is not good at hockey or gritty or tough to play against

Idk what the Sabres need
but I’m pretty sure it starts with D....

...I guess I’ll leave that up to
someone wiser

What the Sabres need now is
another small winger

That pairing has been horrible, and Samuelsson thinks he's a Mermaid out there flapping around. They need a Vet to lead them, they look so Chaotic.

It’s the lack of a real partner for Dahlin that’s the problem?

Maybe you’re looking a little too deep?

It’s Dahlin himself that is the problem. Big problem.

Making a Swedish kid the captain was not smart .
Although he was the obvious choice other than tuch imo

Agreed

A lot of these woes fall on the players, Samuelsson just needs to take a seat

How much worse can ry Jo play?

One is on a really good team, one is on a really bad team. Those stats would flip flop if they were traded. Trouba's fancy stats haven't been good for quite some time.

I dk, just never felt he was a good leader. Gets caught out too much and don't like to see the Captain of the team taking cheap shots. With that contract, I'd shy away personally, but understand why you want to make a change and get a more defensive defenseman.

if it was offsides, they would have called it offsides

remember this same nhl put #99 in front of a mic and forced him to say that he thought is was a good goal


- homiedclown


Are you saying that if the don't call it offsides then no team should challenge the call? They do get on ice calls wrong, problem is video review will not change those calls unless there is definitive visual proof. Same as when the puck is under the goalie, if they call it a goal it will stand but if they say no goal it will also stand because if no video sources show the actual puck then they stay with the on ice call rather than change it based on what is apparently true from video review.
