I don't trust the quality of Lance's opinion at all.

I enjoyed him justifying Scott Laughton.

Really! I didn't know that 😳

Most CHL players only get 2 seasons before the draft. Rarely you see a 15 year old getting a full season in the CHL.



I don't think its an anomaly that Sennecke shot up the board in his draft year. It happens every year with 4-5 players.

I don't value his opinion at all, still surprised me.

Cayden Lindstrom hasn't even played a full season in the WHL and had 46 points last season. He is a top 5 draft prospect.

Drafting is more than just points in 1 season.

Savoie shoulder problems... bad

Lindstrom shoulder problems... no issue

Sabres love Iginla.

Me tooo, always helps when your dad's a legend

It's funny messaging. Savoie and Kulich are untradeable. 11, Rosen, and Ostlund aren't drawing much interest. Lance even lists Rosen in the B tier group. Sounds like we're being set up for no big moves.

You understand that Adams is going to slow roll this process.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up, I could see a Clifton type forward move in free agency , and possibly a joker/ greenway type trade this offseason.

Maybe sprinkle in 1 prospect , but management wants to keep Rochester stocked with cheap options imo

Then why bring in Ruff if your gonna slow roll it still ? To appease season ticket holders

You see how hard they are marketing Ruff?

Yes and people are running to the ticket booths supposedly. They have enough prospects that they don't have to slow play anymore. They can trade a few and survive

What is worth more to the most teams: Savoie or the 11th overall?
- kingcong39

It depends.
Do they want a high profile F or are they more interested in a D.

To me, it is that simple.

Why not bring in Lindy ruff?

He’s selling tickets and kicking the nostalgia train.

Can’t wait until the opener

Cause I would hope it was more than just Nostalgia or selling tickets.

It can be both nostalgia/selling tickets and he’s an experienced nhl coach .

Doesn’t mean they are going running and gunning this summer with trades or free agents

Buffalos population isn’t even close to that number

Generally it’s about 270,00 ish give or take
- Sabretooth9

Yeah, famously no one outside city limits is allowed to watch or go to the professional sports team's games. Fort Wayne's metro area has about 423K, and Buffalo's metro is about 1.1M; add in St Catharines and Niagara Falls and there's another 433K

You are always fully on board with the team every offseason, no matter what they do.

Will this offseason finally be different if they tell Zemgus to kick rocks?

I get you. But Buffalo is the smallest professional sports market in the USA.

Green Bay has entered the chat. Look, many things about Buffalo suck; you don't have to go making up additional things

The Team got worse and had better goaltending. They don't need to run and gun on Moves. But things need to be added to this Team other than Ruff and Nostalgia

I'm begging them to slow play things again.

It'll mean they'll have roughly 3K people at the games, if that, and everyone will be fired.

Boss disappeared from this forum when poop went fully sideways.

Fairweather fan?

One more thing:

As you've accurately pointed out in the past, without that miraculous run of goaltending, they were a bottom 5, and maybe even bottom 3 team.

Agree with that last sentence.

Sounds like Adams explained away last season with a very heavy dose of blaming the former coach.

If he doesn't do much yet again and they falter, he better be fired for his incompetence.

Sabres don't have to Rip apart there prospect pool to make a few moves to help this Team. Plus a couple good FA signings a d let's roll. This slow play sh!t should NOT BE SAID AGAIN! IMO

What are we F@cking slow playing it to Appert! Sounds like a A1 plan
