peterka looks good

byram and power look a lot better than last year, still say power leaves a bit on the table

krebs looks much better with ruff

Everyone has looked better except for:

Samuelsson and cozens

Sabres look good, 3-1-1.
Probably played there best game vs. a good team at home in years last night.

If you want to continually bash the gm, go for it.
When the team plays well, I’m gonna post positive general manager Posts.

Top5gm signing tage to a long term deal looks to be a steal again under Lindy’s coaching.

- Boss34


You don't have to go that route. I've been generally positive on the team this season. Bigger picture, those are very real questions. They made a drastic change of directions and a number of pieces don't fit. Kulich struggling to find a spot is just the first in a series of decisions facing them.

It's October, if next year isn't on your mind, I get it. That's just how I'm wired.

Can we stop blaming it on the team they play and the day of the week?

the team just isn’t worth going to see. They anre inconsistent ant best. end of story.

- ImThatGuy


Yeah, if you just want to throw out all the facts, sure.

Canadian teams and their stars draw bigger crowds.
Local teams (drivable distances) draw bigger crowds
Weakend and rivalry games always draw more as well

Add tuch and greenway to that.

My post was mainly directed to bloated contracts given to players after very little done in the NHL. Minus Dahlin as he had looked very good for stretches.

Now they got these contracts that were not deserved, and we expect Ruff to make a 4mil dollar player to a 7mil player. Not fair to Ruff. Boo Adams

Ya, some times I just use a particular post as a keeping off spot, not really responding specifically to you.
Sorry if it came off that way though.

Kulich hasn’t been struggling in my eyes. He is at very low risk of being a healthy scratch imo.
He needs to find the right linemates as well.

I’m still focusing on this year admittedly. Game to game on this roller coaster.

I like what I saw at home vs. la despite the loss
Sabres need to win home games for the remaining faithful.

Really fun game to be at , better than the bills blowout of the titans

Dahlin could be injured
Cozens is just in a rut
Sammy sucks and we never noticed because he was always hurt and youngish.
Upl contract looks very smart considering the market
Quinn looks slow, Lindy needs to sit him again

Look at how tuch, tage and power are going though. They obviously listen to Lindy

- Boss34


I really hope Linda can bring all there talent together. Im hoping they go on a stretch of good play and adams sees it and rewards the team with a solid addition.

But i doubt it. Adams is either not liked around the league or gun-shy.

They've got options without fvkcin with line 1 and 3.

Kulich-Cozens-Benson
Kulich-Krebs-Cozens
Benson-Kulich-Cozens


Some other combo without Quinn.

Question is what to do with Quinn.

- DirtyDan


The answer is very evident...
Trade him for a 2nd.
Gotta have that 2nd ... It now has replaced the vaunted 6th rounder as the most valuable.

Adams has made a few trades recently .

Byram for mitts
Mcloud for savioe

That’s hardly gun/shy

Good point on rewarding these guys at the deadline for good play and hopefully we’re in a playoff position/ ish

If Benson is ready, I think Kulich will be in Roch this weekend.

I didn't say he was struggling, though he does only have 1 point. I said he's struggling to find a roster a spot.

I like how Lindy is handling them so far.

By the way, Bernard is considered day to day with the ankle. Nothing serious.

Ugh, it hurts but he's earned the ridicule. I don't know what is happening. He has all the talent in the world, so I'm sure he'll snap out of it, but needs to get his feet moving today, not tomorrow.

McLeod's line is playing L2 minutes for last 5 games at 5v5.

I cite that because maybe McLeod is your 2C.
If he continues to progress as such, maybe Helenius slots in as 3C. Cozens can then slot in on RW on L2 or L3... Or become trade bait. Others like Quinn and Zucker should take note as well.
Having young guys on ELC's and Bridge deals to replace more costly, older vets is a problem I would welcome with open arms.

Seems premature to be worried all that much about it.

- IonSabres


I'm still considering Cozens and Quinn part of the picture. If this is still a problem at Christmas, then you've got a difficult problem to deal with.

My fear is that Kev will continue to deal with this numbers problem by selling low at every turn.

That’s interesting, I respect your opinion

I kinda feel like kulich has made the team and he’s been productive, despite the scoring part. He’s had some opportunities.

Lindy is handling the situation like a hall of fame coach would:should

Less about the 2nd more about Beck not being worth much of anything. 8 min a night player. Again, cool

Utah just lost two defensemen for 4-6 months.

Is there any forwards there we could snag for a defenseman?

Maybe we package a D and Quinn + for Keller

Can the Crouse trade finally happen?!

Maccelli is probably a good target given his fall from grace there.
