Connor Hellebyuck rocking a 21-7-3 record with a .924 SV%.

Remember when everyone was too scared to give up anything for him?

Jets #1 points % team in the NHL.

Made a few big trades.

An undesirable location/place to play too.

Weird, how are they good?

Good drafting will do that, along with smart trades.

They don't trust Levi at home vs the worst team in the NHL?

Perhaps they look at it as rewarding UPL for his good play not a negative against Levi.

I think we'd be closer to the playoffs, yes.

Levi was/is awful at times. The Sabres have/had the cap space.

Hellebyuck + An actual serious upgrade at D and a middle six FWD to help the scoring regression and were a serious team.

But we were never serious

- sbroads24


Completely fair, especially if the D upgrade was to a guy who could lessen our high danger shots against per game. I'm not sold a goalie alone would do it, no matter who, but we are close enough that a few upgrades would've likely put us into Detroit's situation rather than our current one.

no, coach let the team do their thing in the o zone and try to outscore them

this season he says he is actually trying to coach

so in essence they are better with no coach, based on last season vs having him as a coach

- homiedclown


This is a great explanation, I agree.

getting defensively manhandled by the last place team in the league has to be a confidence booster after one period of play...

Guess the better question is why have him in Buffalo if you don't.

Are you concerned that two, 1st overall dmen don't add up to one Makar?

Power is serviceable but lack competitiveness, while Dahlin is silky but doesn't have a brain.

Because you flubbed the Reinhart situation and had to save face by signing the only player we got in the deal, who wouldn’t have signed if he wasn’t promised NHL time.

Dahlin is a refined athletic freak with no actual talent. He’s just highly skilled. If he was talented, he would be Makar. That’s the difference. Makar is athletically gifted and talented. Dahlin is athletically gifted and not talented.

Should Owen Power be capable of creating offensive chances or is that too much to ask?
