This team sucks because:

1) We have no 2nd line right now
2) We have no shutdown D
3) Our goaltending isn't stealing games, as other teams can
4) Our assistant coaches are arguably the worst set in the league
5) Our PP is dead last
6) Our PK is bottom 10
7) We trade for guys like Malenstyn so our 4th line is always poope
8) No star power beyond Tage who is borderline
9) Development is horrid

Dahlin is NOT a reason why we are bad. He's the reason why we haven't been picking top3 more often.

Lol!
Boy, do I wish we had that 41st pick in our pipeline... We would surely be 1st in the Atlantic.

I like the rest of the post though

He is this year, but he's also hurt so there is that.

He needs to be the PP catalyst. If theyre 15th in the league on the PP and he has 3 or 4 PP points, their record would look different. He has to be a lot better and if he can't be then they need to sit him until he's right

(Checks cup, puts helmet on, and enters the room)

I know the patience of Sabres’ fans has been trampled on,
but. It still is rather early in the season, considering new coach new approach learning curve. Trying to figure it all out to the point where thinking stops and just doing begins, idk.
Maybe a low bar, but is the effort there?

If so, then there’s hope for them.

odds Kulich goes to Rochester this weekend when Aube-Kubel comes back on Saturday?

Not waiving Bryson or Gilbert imo

ESPN NHL frenzy tonight. All teams are playing. First game at 6, then starting with Minny at FL @6:30 the start times are staggered every 15 minutes throughout. The last game starts in Vegas at 11 Eastern

I don't think it will have anything to do with NAK. If Benson isn't ready, IR him and keep Kulich in. If Kulich isn't going to play, send him down. If Kulich is going to play over Benson, waive a D.

Side note, would be a nice night for Kulich to put 2 in.

GMs will always take the path of least resistance. Kulich is the easiest move short of an IR designation

is this due to fear of a team claiming Dennis Gilbert?

Gilbert might be a better Samuelsson so yes

Travis Yost on GR takeaways:


Lafferty has been really bad on L4

Sabres lack high-end talent

Sabres need to be able to roll 4 to be competitive

"If you lose Aube Kubel and it completely blows up your 4th line, you have big problems"

Samuelsson actually played like his Balls dropped the Game Gilbert played. Even though Gilbert was out there for 5 minutes the whole game.

Least resistance would have been sending Levi down a couple weeks ago. If you want to keep Kulich in the lineup, waiving a D is an easy move. KA worked through his feelings and waiving Bryson this time around won't be such a struggle.

I'd guess Benson was going back in anyways, so it might not matter. No reason to keep Kulich as a 14F.

You want him on the 4th line? I'm glad they don't seem to be going in that direction.

No, I don't but they don't need to put him on the 4th line
Beck Krebs Nak can handle that.

Well, I don't think they are touching the 1st or 3rd lines, so that doesn't leave much. Kulich or Benson.
