There is nothing set in stone that they will move him.
- SABRES 89

Yeah, I mean I hope they don't give him away, but IMO he's the logical choice to go

LWs will include Girgensons, Smith, Rodrigues and a FA fighting for spots. Scandella is not a 7th dman. No chance.

Malone will fight for a bottom six C spot. And Larsson is traded. I guess.

He'll be fighting for a LW spot. Erod is a lock, not sure where yet. Baptiste and Bailey will probably be on the team or traded, and Nylander has an outside shot at making it. It's gonna be a faster year, that's for sure

If we finish bottom 5 we haven’t spent anything.

Nice article as usual Pach 😎

But havent you heard? According to the insiders on Hockey Buzz the Sabres are trading Risto, Samson & ROR because Dahlin will play Defense, Center & Wing

Dahlin plays on the right side, not the left.
- TheHank


It looks like he plays LHD for Frölunda, but played right in tournament play. All of his highlights from Frölunda have him at LD

Erod's a lock for the roster, yeah. But I still don't know where this team wants him to play, primarily.

Well played sir, well played. But the bigger question is, can Dahlin stop pucks as well? We are also looking for a 1B goalie.

Sabres should bring in Hjarlmarsson or Edler to mento Dahlin. Would be great to have a second swede on defense to pair with Dahlin.

congrats to the Sabres for winning The Lottery! I feel sorry for the kid stuck in purgatory with an irrelevant franchise that has no direction and is in the middle of a 20 year rebuild! I hope he gets paid cause that’s all he has to look forward to in Buffalo

You can get him when he's 38 and washed up, just like you always do.

I'm not against bringing in another Swede to help mentor Dahlin. But IMO it would be for more off ice stuff. Coaches are there for the on ice stuff. Hoping we have the right ones for Dahlin

My #1 off-season goal has been met

Now if GMJB can shed one of Bogosian or Okposo and trade ROR for Jack's winger I'll be a happy camper and won't female dog about anything this season.

Botterill - You can see it with the teams in the playoffs this year: this game is all about speed and being able to trade intensity. #Sabres

Your goaltender is 36 who has an $8.5 million cap hit (for 3 more seasons)

You just fired your head coach

Your president released a letter to your fan base to explain a complete rebuild

I wouldn't be throwing stones if I were you

That may be true and by then you’ll be in a 40 year re-build
