Did GMTM build the best Sabres roster for playoffs?, even though the organization was a total failure.

Stanley cup winners from that roster:

Bogo
O’rielly
Rodrigues
Gionta

Impactful playoff players:

Kane
Rhino
Foligno
McCabe
Carrier
Eichel

The rest of the roster was a mess, what a waste of a decade.

Don't really care about the first 4, never wanted ROR in the 1st place, gave to much future away.
Kane- wrong time, Sabres gave up so much in the trades for Kane and ROR that they had No bottom 6 or Defense. Botts got caught in that having to make stupid trades to fill holes in are bottom 6 and Defense because we had no depth.
The other players I wouldn't mind having Rhino back, but I believe if given a chance Rousek can be that net front presence a bit, kid has a fantastic shot but he also isn't afraid to get Dirty.
And finally I believe Nadeau will be are Foligno with better offensive skills, but not as good of a fighter but is more than willing.

Let's be real, he was poopty in NY.

I was mad about Ned to Detroit. He was good in Carolina.

But hasn't been in Colorado. Goalies who play behind workhorse franchise goalies like Shesterkin tend t struggle.

They get the 2nds on back to backs and all of the bad games.

The Reinhart haters must be upset, all is good the Leafs are down by 3.

Now, all we need is for the Leafs to be swept, and for Beane to trade that "pos" Stefon Diggs to make this the best week ever for you!

He showed signs his first year that he might be good. For what he was traded for I was annoyed we weren’t in on him.

I was also mad about Ned.

Once we get to the playoffs, he'll heroically return to the lineup as our star centerman. He'd make Tage expendable.

Based upon our track record if we were to get another goalie (I doubt we do) he will suck more dong than Boss

Really hope Kozak keeps developing, kinda Heart and Soul guy teams need. He likes to go to the Dirty areas. And don't let his size fool you, go watch some of his Fights, kid can throw them when needed. Sabres seem to be developing there prospects very Nicely. Kozak, Nadeau and even Rousek are those type of dirty workers playoff teams need!!

Both games if played for this round are scheduled at Blue Cross. Maybe if they make it past this round.

Sabres announced they’ve assigned 2021 4th round pick Olivier Nadeau to the Amerks.

Nadeau’s QMJHL club was eliminated from the playoffs last week.

Like Ostlund, I wouldn’t expect Nadeau to play for the Amerks this season but it’ll be good depth in case of injuries. Also good experience for a playoff run and where he’ll play next season.

Think it's very smart having these kids here even if they don't play. They get face to face time with other players and the Coaches. Mair and Company can set up a offseason workout regiment and they see first hand what Profesional Hockey is like!!
