So you think they are going to address their D internally? With no one in the system?

Is Savoie the 3rd C? Krebs? Still questions as to how this fits together. Not a summer to sit around, imo.

Adam's raved about novikov at the meet and greet.

Russians add a fan plot twist

That's fair, appreciate your thoughts.

So your looking for a #3

You may need to move a favorable recent forward pick.
The big 3 from 2022 seam unlikely IMO.

Rosen or the 2023 1st rounder.

Would be nice to see this years pick moved for a player, really signifies the draft 1st position in these parts for a decade.

That seems unlikely though. Ka is conservative by nature.

How about the bills..
Thinking wr. Big dt and oline with the 1st 3 picks.

Buddy has us swapping 27 with Arizona's 2nd and dhop.
Add a 4th as well.

Interesting Arizona Trade, wouldn't surprise me. Heard he has a trade back in place if certain players are gone.

Is Mitts a C? Didn't play it much last season. Krebs stuck at 4C again? Thought we didn't want to block guys? Where will Kulich fit?

Plenty of questions and I don't think much of this is set.

This is from my "insider" buddy, but It's his senario I believe.

Dhop to buffalo would blow the talk shows off the charts.

Bill's would rocket to #1 again.

I think Mitts is the 3C for the foreseeable future. Played great at C in the last part of the season. Give him his own line without the baggage of VO

Greenway could throw a wrench in things if he doesn't step it up. If we lose Rousek and Jost because of Greenway and bringing both Girgensons and Okposo back. And Greenway just fails, could really hurt with the energy and offensive potential and 200ft game Rousek and Jost could bring on the 4th line.

Its allset for the most part.

Kyvynv can sit back and add 2 defenseman 4/5 and a forward this team just needs to age.

Mitts absolutely looked great at center.

Its girgensons spot, he's not blocking anyone from his spot on the team.

Very little turnover is expected IMO.

We shall see soon enough

I don't think they can sign an extension until the summer

It's summer in Australia, need Adams to be aggressive this offseason...

He went from 2/3 LW to 1 C. Really didn't have any success at 3C last year.

I think he's a 2LW and they should see what Krebs has at 3C. With a system full of C's and 1 year left on his deal, I wouldn't be confident about anything going into the future.

Have my doubts that they see Kulich as a 4LW. If they do, Girgs is as blocky as you get.

anyone hear anything on Ryan Johnson?
- hehateme

he's not signing with Buffalo. another kid that is afraid of competition I guess, or would rather play on daddies team. either way a wasted draft pick

Mitts gets extended this offseason.

5 years near 28 million. 5.4ish a year.

He proved his worth right in front of your tv set.
Guys the definition of "vibes guy"

4LW for the Buffalo Sabres is zemgus girgensons.

Like it or not.

That's his spot and will remain his spot on this team moving forward.

Death taxes and girgensons TM baller

As expected. No need to rush savoie along.

I could see olofsson being traded or splitting time with savoie on the 3rd line.

I think savoie bursts on the scene though...

I coud see him going back to college if he doesn't like the offers or teams ( Grass isn't always greener)

if anyone bursts I hope its Levi if he can do what he did for 6 games this year the sabres are a playoff team without anything else happening. not to mention the sabres would have a star in the making in goal.

You're likely right he's a lightning bolt he will Adapt fast to buffalo style of play

- gordong

The value of the pick decreased each season he didn't sign in Buffalo, like Portillo and others, the constant is poor asset management. The Sabres brass held a 1st round pick/prospect for 4 years while allowing it to depreciate to a 2nd round draft pick and wasting time/resources and potential NHL calibers players were ignored to allow him to make the team.

Adams is not a deal maker - he sounds like a motivator only.


Yes he signed Botts players to long term team friendly deals, but there are more misses than hits.

He was a Senior, what's he going back to school for ?

if anyone bursts I hope its Levi if he can do what he did for 6 games this year the sabres are a playoff team without anything else happening. not to mention the sabres would have a star in the making in goal.
- gordong

I don't think anyone shoud worry abot Levi i see him better for next year after this summer.

Especially with the worlds coming up
