Kulich is on Fire in Rochester right now, wish we would have gotten a better look at him. Shame he was injured when they probably would have called him up.

Agreed. Would've liked to see him and Olofsson over Jost and Olo. Adams trying to be everyone's friend again.

Benson had an extended rough stint too. Takes some time to adjust and they didn't let that process start. KA's never had a plan for these kids and it bothers me. The longer he waits, the tougher it gets. Now he needs to win next year to keep his job. Time for 4 rookies?

I don't know why we continue to mix up "Not having a plan" and "Not agreeing with his plan", because he's definitely shown it.

Cozens was the go to defensive C. I give a lot of credit for doing that well.

Benson is already one of their best two way forwards. I give him extra credit as well.

- Lunaion

Was he?

Granato's MO was never to really have a go to defensive center. It was rolling 3 lines pretty evenly and give Girgs/KO/Krebs the D looks.

Cozens had a pretty even FO split. 50.1 OZ starts.

He was slumping since we sent him back and he just got back to form maybe a month or so ago.

I didn't see any reason to bring him back again this year. Guess that's just my opinion.

- TheSabresTaco


It's been a bit longer than a month, which is why I think they should've given him a chance. He's really rocking now with 11pts in his last 10 games. But it went a bit further back. Points started to come back in early March after he reaggravated that injury.

As an aside, maybe you know, does the o-zone start include power play and penalty kill? I would assume it isn't, it's only 5v5, but couldn't find the answer online.

I do think Cozens will be ok.

Needs to throw this season out, get some new perspective. New coaching may assist in how he views play by play as well.

That talent and ability is definitely in there.

- TheSabresTaco

he said he needs to work hard this summer


why not last summer as he got paid


that is my beef


"we need to do more, blah blah blah"

you had years and paid millions already to give it your best

Sources tell me 25% of the Bills are for sale.

Team confirms it has hired investment bankers Allen & Company to handle potential transaction.

Pegula paid 1.4 billion to buy the bills
they are now worth 3.8 billion

he could probably get 1 billion back selling 25 percent of the team

I was talking post-LOG. Matching up with McDavid is a defensive role, even if it's an ozone faceoff. Donnie was doing that most nights.

Not punting with LOG at every turn is a big deal.

Pegula is selling 25% and going to get close to a billion for that. Which will cover his cost of the stadium, and then make it all back in PSL's (which are tax free).

Basically he got 75% of the Bills and a new stadium for nothing.

He paid $189 million for the Sabres, will sell everything for around $800 million - $1 Billion.

Talk about a massive return on an investment.

I sure hope so. He'll get out and leave all the arena updates to the new owner.

Succession would be my guess. If the kids don't want it, cash out now and not have to deal with running things. They might have minor interest in the Sabres and would be lucky to know the Bamdits are a lacrosse team they own.
