Krebs is the only guy to stick with Dahlin during his very intense pre-game workouts.

You could see that Krebs came into the season after a serious offseason regimen.

If he keeps working that hard, good things will happen.

I like Krebs a lot. Most obnoxious on-ice grin since Matt Barnaby. I still think he is a trade candidate though.

What makes krebs a trade candidate?

I see a 1% chance of him being traded. KA made him part of his staple franchise trade. He's played well with good upside. Seems very vibey IMO

All the C's who may be ahead of him in their plans.

If you want to upgrade the D, it's going to cost someone you probably like.

Just a few things I found out today,

Levi, UPL and Comrie next year, they would prefer Levi 1 and UPL 2 but Comrie is under contract. Some young players in the AHL that are doing well with there evaluations may not fit in to the future plans will be moved for NHL ready players. They want to bring in another 1st or 2nd Dman, that will happen. Also looking into another top 6 Winger. Adams and CO. are very happy with how this team has played also, do not count out Okposo and Girgensons not coming back. Alot of respect for both within the organization. Okposo will take some time to re set.

I don't have any info in which younger players are being talked about as of now. I still heard the 3 year deal for P Kane was being talked about but not sure if he wants to come home if not, they have a few others players being talked about. Tyler Toffoli and Noah Hanifin were mentioned to me. I like Gavrikov IMO.

If they send Comrie down after preseason next year. Highly highly doubt anyone claims him

As for everything else. That is good to hear. Another top 6 forward is kind of a surprise.

Top 4 d isn’t a shocker

Okposo and Girgs Okposo looked shot all year. If he does come back. He pulls an anderson and plays every couple games.

Kulich rousek and Rosen are the only 2 players in roch playing well. Can’t see them being traded

That's fair, but I think krebs is untouchable. KA loves his prospects and young players.

I agree on the vibes. I think he’s a good one. I also think we’re going to need to make some painful trades to upgrade at key positions and I just think he’s one of those guys that might be part of a deal.

I don't understand how a 4C can be untouchable or how all his prospects can fit into one lineup soon.

Decisions Decisions Decisions, No more kicking the can. Evaluations will need to be quicker. Is this the biggest offseason for the Sabres in recent past, could really pave the future.

Sent to the Ontario Reign, where former Sabres prospects who refused to sign go to die.

Donnie needs a new Defense Coach that also handles the PK.
Getting rid of SirFallsDownAlot would be a good 2nd step.

Can we get a new goalie coach too before Bales does something bad to Levi?

Did anyone see any growth in UPL or Comrie’s game?

I know Irbe made table scraps look like all stars. Murray couldn’t trade them fast enough after Irbe got to them…

And I know team d is a thing that can affect the goalie.

If they are intent on keeping the majority of the band together, then they better upgrade some coaches.

I agree.
Coaches and a more defensively responsible system. No, they don't need 5 D on the ice...just a 5 man unit that plays the 200ft game...no passengers, no cheating the play.
