I'm not enthralled with the moves at the TDL to say the least..seemed like a couple try to save face moves to me.

That said, if they can get Greenway to produce at a 25 - 30 point pace and be strong along the boards I'm ok for the next season...but then, not so much.

So much to be resolved this off-season.

I think greenway is here to replace olofsson.

If your the management group, and you think you could get 15-20 goals on the 3rd line with some muscle, quinn can replace the pp goals.

Plenty of the 28 were empty netters as well for olofsson

Greenway-10 goals
+ size, consistency and upside.

Not lately, aside from samuelsson.

2 (1OA's) kinda dampen the farm system idea.

I liked Borgen and we could use (2) 4/5 guys IMO.

Trade some forward prospects. We have plenty.

Getting to the point they will have to, or they will have prospects blocking prospects, and then evaluating just gets that much harder.

No.

Jaxon Cayden-Bryce class of 2029. Currently 11 years old.

future Girgensons replacement. That's when we will contend

Funny, Samuelsson actually went out and hired a skating coach. He knew his skating wasn't good enough. Not bringing in a solid vet IMO hurt Dahlin, and could hurt Power if they are not careful.

Joker and boosh needed a look with power too.

1 in house and 1 ufa signing.

Why not sign a better boosh to play the pairing with boosh , use stillman as a 7th.

Trade rosen, kulich whomever for an equal 2nd pairng prospect. Maybe add a pick or 2.

Gotta give to get. We all like the prospects. Well, most of us.

That seems reasonable thank you! Hopefully there will be no hitting by then, it’s super duper mean part of the game. It’s not fair

This is my fear with how the Sabres are coached and currently constructed.

Sabres win games one type of way.

They need to be adaptive come playoff hockey

If Adams is so great why do we have a gaping hole in our prospect pool for defense and instead we have

Leinonen
Poltapov
Kisakov
Neuchev
Sardarian

Our 2nd and 3rd round picks that will probably never see the NHL when great defensive prospects were on the board.

Now go do the other 31 teams. Let's compare GM's and their picks. Report back here in October with your findings.

Cuba Gooding Sr. has a debut solo album, by Motown, that isn’t anywhere to be found and they gate-keep it and I don’t understand why because it slaps so hard.

Compare ALL their prospects. How are their forward pools? Goalie? You guys want to just incessantly (it's like, give it a break, ffs. Don't you get tired of posting the same crap day in and day out?) rip on Adams (and he's made mistakes, but so has every other GM in the league), but no GM is perfect.
