Lindy’s first season in Dallas, 2014 - finished 19th in the league, missed the playoffs.

First season in NJ, 2021, finished 28th.

Will be interesting to see how he can speed up his own process while simultaneously keeping this group consistently in a competitive mindset.

Matt Duchene 2 x $5.8m or 3 x 7.0m anybody?
Playing pretty good for an "older" guy, good regular season production wise, good possession metrics, very good on the dot, playing decent in the PO's contibuting tertiary scoring.

Ooof that Dallas roster, 8 guys 30+, 2 others are 29.

That Jersey team more closely mirrors the current Sabres roster in terms of age...only 6 27+


Adams has to find the right pieces to the puzzle in the Bottom 6...I'd say 5 upgrades, Greenway they hold given 1 year left on his contract.

How would you feel if they decided to target a 2C and push Cozens down to 3C?
Iyave mixed feelings.

I think the Sabres 25’ 1st round pick holds significant value.

Maybe.
They have $15m to sign 8 players.
It isn't an absolute given by any means.
3 x $7m is his most likely contract, eating up a good portion of that.

For a team thought of as good drafters, they fail every season to draft role players.

Certainly could have beaten the hell out of the Bruins in the 70's and 80's for sure.


Wonder if Ottawa would consider moving Pinto, and what would it take.

There's enough out there in FA this off-season for the Sabres to fill every need, and reasonably. Unfortunately most probably won't come here.

No thanks

biggest need right now is probably a middle 6 center


he fits that spot for 10 years

7 first round picks to draft that, 35 picks to build a team, still needs to find top and bottom talent from trades and FA…..great drafting…

mantha is a decent piece for our middle 6

stenlund is a better pk guy than what we have up front and a hell of a 4th line center

All have better playoffs stats than Tage, Skinner, Cozens, Peterka, Quinn, Krebs, Benson, Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson combined

the roster construction is poor and the team gets pushed around

adams thought greenway, clifton, robinson and stillman would fix it

he was wrong
