In the prolific lyrics of Neil Young with Cazy Horse in 1969 which he sings about the soon-to-be NHL Franchise; the Buffalo Sabres..."Everybody knows this is nowhere".
The team is truly stuck in no man's land.
Win a few, lose a few.

Time for Top 5 to become a real GM or step out of the way and let Ventura play "MoneyPuck"

Especially if they are going to continue to be a budget team.

Need to attempt to extract max value anywhere and everywhere they can.

Yep, even our Top 5 GM didn't plan for that. Give Mitts credit he worked hard.

Sabres will be closer to 10 pts out vs the 2WC by the end of the Western road trip.

The Fat Lady got off stage due to bathroom needs, not to signal an opportunity for the PO's. She is back on stage, the Orchestra has warmed up and the Conductor has tapped his baton on the podium.

They are cooked.

It’s all pegs Yes Adam’s is an indecisive rink manager that should not be a GM but it all stems from pegs. Weak ownership gets weak general manager, gets weak coaching and a weak team

Only two solutions
1 pegs sells
2 pegs hires a real president, sets a budget and heads off to feed Kim jello

Playoff % gets all the attention, but here's the full picture:

3% WC
7% 9th
13% 10th
21% 11th
26% 12th
24% 13th
5% 14th
1% 15th

It's a tough battle straight up now, but everyone has games in hand and the strength of schedule is very high.

Were you actually expecting that line to be good?

I wasn't.

- kingcong39


Wasn't expecting it. JJ's not playing well either and Donnie's lost confidence in him too. Just a line that makes people sad now. 3 guys you expect more from getting cast aside together.

Three players that were never going to work well together means all three are going to look worse then they are.

Another example that leads to the question of management's plan, if they ever had one.

Don got enamored with a grinder on the top 2 lines and gave up on the other two.

VO on a checking line?

Don't have a problem with KA not addressing the F's until after the season. Got the trade he wanted and good that he knew they weren't really in it. He's gotta get the next moves right. Next season can't start with a 3rd line that just doesn't fit.

5-4-1 in their last 10. It's almost playoff pace.

They finally threw a couple of big, heavy sacks of old sprouting potatoes overboard

They also can't just expect more kids to solve the 3rd line - bottom 6 problem.

Their top 9 are all under contract. Need moves to even add a kid.

If their plan is to run back all of the below as their top 9, they're going to have issues yet again next season.
