flat cap
most teams up against it

might be closer to a mil instead of 1.25

unless the yotes need to get to the floor

goalie coach is great

excited about 6k and comrie

would love to bring okposo and girgens back

everyone wants to be here

nothing screamed we are going to try to win the division next year, just stick to the plan

This is a good post.

Are you really expecting a go for broke off season. Seems like the plan all along is to have e our core lead us when they are old enough.

I'd be surprised to not see 2 nhl defenseman added this offseason.

Up front pk88 or maybe a selke type guy.

No jost, bryson, anderson, clauge, olofsson maybe someone I'm missing.

20% turnover basically 4/5 out of 20 /22 positions

Yeah, I get that. I’ve gone to a lot of Sabres games with ex college / junior hockey goalies who tell me these things.

And after awhile you can pick up on it.

This doesn't bother me. We're gonna revisit this discussion.

Top 5 poster rankings could take a hit.

We're suppose to gun for the division title in the best division in hockey a year after being the youngest team in the league and we could get even younger next year.... ?

Make it make sense

We haven’t even made the off-season yet before the “youngest team in The league” excuse gets tossed out for next year.

Well done.

Basically what 89 said other than getting a Dman and maybe a top 6 forward. Basically the same as was needed last off-season

Unacceptable IMO.

I mean an expansion team got 100 points in year 2


meanwhile our team is doing victory laps for almost making the playoffs in year 12

Unacceptable IMO.

How many roster changes do you want?

33%?

Anderson
Olofsson
Bryson
Jost
Clague
Girgensons
Okposo.

You want to change basically a 1/3 of this team. That seems very impatient and more so unrealistic.

Literally none of those three were among the teams mentioned but nice try

I gave you three examples being Pittsburgh, Washington, and Nashville.

Florida won the presidents trophy last year and made the playoffs by one point this year.

Parity is a hell of a drug

none of these guys are going to win us a cup, which is the goal

what are the odds one of the pens or caps have a better record than us next year?


40 percent?

Gettleman swore to me he wasn’t trading OBJ but two months later he was wearing a Cleveland Browns jersey.

I wouldn’t put too much stock into end of season press conferences.

What do you really expect Adams to say ? Oh yeah I’m overturning half the roster and doing this, this, and this ?

Ask me again in November and I’ll have a better idea.

Gotta replace girgensons and okposo with leadership and defensive awareness. I hope they add another defensive selke type for the 3rd or 4th line. Maybe krebs develops into a solid 4C?

You're being dramatic, but have a point.

These guys are good enough to make the playoffs, maybe not cup champions 👊

Gotta replace girgensons and okposo with leadership
- Boss34

captain said it was the new guys team at locker room clean out day

very telling

Unacceptable IMO.
- IonSabres

Lot of good growth lon, but other than Levi which is fantastic. We still need the same things as last off-season, actually when Adams came in. Hopefully that changes this offseason, he has to do something soon. He has to many Forwards, gonna have prospects blocking prospects if he doesn't.

- Boss34

Why?
-Anderson could play once every two weeks because he was too old. He can't play anymore. Verdict: Upgrade
-Olofsson, while potting Goals was on the ice for 2X Goals against. Helps other teams more than his. Verdict: Replace
-Bryson was worse than Olofsson. Helps other teams more than his. Verdict: Upgrade
-Jost, I liked the guy myself but he isn't irreplaceable. 4C would be good to have as a FO artist..he needs to improve. Verdict. Retain as 4C / 13F
-Clague proved he is ok for short stints of games, but isn't reliable long term. Verdict: Retain as 7th/8th..
-Girgensons is worse than deadman-skating, hurts the PK, can't produce. There are better 4th liners. Verdict: Upgrade.
-Okie should retire and turn the team over to the young core. He's better than Girgensons, but his skating is slowing significantly/ Verdict: Replace

Upgrade:
- Goalie
- 2 Dmen
- 2 Forwards

Retain:
- Jost
- Clague


Skins - Tage - Tuch
Acquisition (Meier!!!) - Cozens - Quinn
Mitts - Krebs - Savoie (upgrade)
JJP - Jost - Rousek
Greenway

Sammy - Dahlin
Power - Upgrade (Murphy)
Upgrade (Soucy) - Lyubuschkin
Clague

Levi
Upgrade (Jarry)

That lineup blows away having Girgensons, Okposo, Olofsson in it.

- DirtyDan

I mean Dahlin, Cozens, Quinn, Peterka, and Power were very important pieces of the roster this year.

It’s either you can play, or you can’t.

Whether you are 18 or 30 years old doesn’t make a difference to me.

- homiedclown

The league gifts these teams playoffs rosters and rightfully so. Who wants to watch the new team on the block suffer for years?

Meanwhile its year 2 for this core. the last 12 years have nothing to do with the current roster.

Yeah gunning for the division title makes a lot of sense next year


Something Something expecting good teams to all of sudden drop something something

Yes it does, some of these players go back years

What?


You think at this point in time the Division title is viable next year?
