How anyone can claim with a straight face that the signing of SirFallsAlot, Jost and OkSloPoke havn't hampered the team's ability to bring along younger players is competely beyond me. In fact, by not signing them, it would have forced Donnie to utilize a couple younger players that represent the here & now as well as the future of the club versus relying on spent veterans with declining utility for the club.

His over reliance on these guys is quickly becoming one of the biggest negative values to the team. Gotta invest in the young guys more than 4:00 atoi a night there Donnie. Youth can be an asset, and I am surprised with his about-face from last season.

That's why I don't think it's just Donnie, Adams has a hand in it with the roster he brought back. Seems to me the Sabres could use a little Youthful push.

I don't know....the fact is that the 3rd line is wide open for anyone to step up. Seems like they want to give the kids a little more time. Leaving Kulich down is getting a bit silly.

If they sign Kane to a multi-year, then it seems like they don't believe in these kids at all....at least some of them.

KA didn't stick in the NHL until 25. I think that has a big impact on this judgement.

That would be another example of an inability to adapt to what is happening in front of his face.

Didn't someone call this an innovative front office at some point? Not so much.

That makes sense to me. Granato seems to be shinning the bat signal that this roster fvcking sucks and needs help from the GM to fix.

Let’s go Buffalo

Bills called up Norman again from the PS, believe this is his 3rd call up. Think they have to sign him to the 53 man roster the next time.

That was always the plan. Saves cap room.

It depends on how you see it

Did meatballs bang the table as a vote of confidence for adams to make the move or

Bang the table like get me some (frank)ing help for (frank) sakes

Id sure hope he wasn't instrumental in bringing back a roster that wasn't good enough to begin with

I'd bet he was. Upgrade the D, try to upgrade G, bring the F's back.
