I would like Andersson, don't think Hanifin fits.

People on laughed at Yzerman's signings but at least he had a vision and a coach.
Look at Arizona who made changes in their offseason.
Both of those teams are progressing while Buffalo is regressing. Its not a good sign.

Don't forget what Anaheim did in the offseason and how the team is performing so far this season.

Unless there is a bunch of meat heads with poop for brains in that locker room, they realize the mountain they now have to climb to make this a winning season.

From the top down in this organization, for over a decade, when this situation arises, they pack it in.

Meatball doesn't want to ruin Savoie's confidence, thats why he wouldn't play him against the Canes, a literal week later, he puts the future goalie of the franchise in against the best team in the league and hangs him out to dry.

Adams went bald deep into the fab 5 and linear growth while Meatball is doing everything in his power to minimize rookie ice time.

Okposo showed the most fight last night of any Sabres for the full 60, the team doesn't play for him. He is selfish and the ceremony to celebrate complete failure is an indictment of how ignorant the organization is, going through the motions.

There is no quick fix for this team, they are years away still with no identity or passion.

They are a new GM and coach away from moving up the ladder. Your post is right on the mark. I can't say anymore there is a plan but one would think there are multiple plans colliding

They needed to bring in a bottom 6 faceoff guy but elected to keep the twins, jost and Olofsson instead
- Hank Balling


We needed Bjugstad. He was there for the taking. Bottom 6 guy with offensive skill and excellent on face offs.

Reinhart on a 145 point pace. Sabres 235 goal pace. Discuss.

I do not believe KA and Meatballs are on the same page and are working off different plans. A team trying to build through the draft and basically is trying out different youngins in different situations does not employ a coach who plays useless veterans more.
The prospects must be shaking their heads and wondering how can they prove themselves when they sit on the bench and watch the clown show.
The owners idea is to save money but they throw it around on useless leadership instead of letting the young guys take the lead and bring in vets to fill temporary holes.

Skunk is extra skunky right now. I hate that he isn't a Sabre still.

Probably a lot better...even though I think Levi is going to be really good in the end.

There were so many ways to go about improving this roster

Bringing the band back with clifton, Erik johnson and a bunch of rookies should be a fireable offense in year 4 of rebuild 2nd edition
