is midseason a good enough time to can your OC or do they need to miss the playoffs to get the hint.


5 games in a row they have looked ridiculous on offense. On a team with this many weapons, that's a joke.

eh. done talking about the bills.

sabres beat the laffs, awesome. impatiently waiting for the savoie promotion and hopefully some news about being allowed to play in the ahl this year.
- TheSabresTaco

Don't have to wait for a Savoie promotion because he doesn't need one. He was on the NHL roster during his rehab assignment and just reverted back to IR when it was complete.

Just have to send Biro/Rousek down and activate him off IR before the next game.

I really want to revisit my rant in the summer about this, but I also got put on blood pressure medication recently so Imma just leave this one alone.

I was literally about to respond to your Joe Marino post about this kind of poop is what gets your blood pressure up and to not let it.

Don't move the goalposts on my topic. This is simply about Tatar being scratched a dozen games into the season. Nothing more, nothing less.
- TheSabresTaco

He signed to a contender for less than every trash forward the sabres resigned but teams wouldn't make room for a career 20 goal two way forward

There are no goalposts being moved. The reason we wanted him is because he's better than what we resigned. Scratched or not

Ah yeah, good point. Welp, back to the A, Rousek.

You'd be signing him to play top 9 minutes.

I see what you're saying and there's merit in the topic but I don't believe signing LOGgers got in the way of signing Tatar.

Maybe Tater is better here, maybe he's got a couple more points. I'd like to set my sights higher than Tatar, Krebs and Okposo.

Jost is a fine utility forward and Girgensons is whatever. Upgrade it, they won't, but they could.

or Biro, don't think either are slated to stay. Bryson or VO would be more fun, but they won't yet.

I actually like that First Things First show on FS1, despite how insufferable he can be.

The point is they should have upgraded already.

They should have been looking to move guys down the lineup. Instead Greenway is playing on the top line. On a contender he is a 4th liner

I thought I saw Biro was demoted before the Leafs game? Doesn't show in CF, but neither does RJ

The guy has gone well out of his way for years to bash Allen. I've heard he's been better this year but he gets no respect from me.

They are both still up. Biro story was fake news.

Would think Jonhson stays until Samuelsson is healthy. I want to see more of him.

I don't disagree with you. I like Kyle a lot as a person and I know they adore him as a leader. If anything, he can be your 13th forward and try a little (frank)ing harder, next year I guess, to beef up the fourth line. May want to make a trade for a mid 20s C.

Greenway has done really well in his role. Not sure why performing well deserves a knock simply because he isn't a high power offensive player. Complementary players are important.

Insert 23/24' Sabres banner meme that says:

hm. how bout that.

Johnson doing what Johnson's always done. Great transition. He also got smoked defensively.

Agree on seeing more of R. Johnson

The sabres have no winger depth. Are they..

Just waiting for Quinn to come save cozens musical linemate problem

Hoping savoie solves it first

Going to give kulich a shot if savoie doesn't solve it

Look outside the organization

What happens if savoie is for real when Quinn is healthy? Does Benson go back to junior? Kulich get stuck in rocha all year? Do they finally waive olofsson?

Except for Quinn these questions are all about rookies. For a team that should be playoffs or bust they should not be looking at rookies to solve problems

Im not mad at Greenway, actually been happy with his play. He's on pace for 41pts playing with Thompson

On a contender hes a 4th liner, maybe 3rd who kills penalties and can move up the lineup when necessary

What's wrong with looking to rookies for 3rd ine help?

I think he has the exact same role on a contender as he does here, a playoff hopeful.

Maybe not the first line but I see nothing wrong with him being complementary on any of the three lines. Of course, the way he's utilized in Buffalo is how much preferred than how he was utilized in Minnesota, which really became that 4th line guy.

They are already the youngest team in the league, but If they are ready to solve those problems then fine.

To me it feels like they are still using this season to find out and that doesn't suggest they've done everything they can to improve the roster

Excited to see if Savoie can build on his AHL time here.

Greenway complements most of their skilled players pretty well. Don't see any problem with how they are using him. It's working.

Well if you're a Pat Kane guy then I've got some good news for you.

With Quinn and Kane in the lineup, they'll have a full, non-rookie roster.

- TheSabresTaco

It's the fun part. Benson really has it. We'll get a look at Savoie, if that's not quite ready, we get Kulich. If we come out the other side of that with VO, I'll be pissed.
