let's worry about getting a top 8 seed in the east before we have cup talk
- homiedclown

That's not Cup talk, how about memory

None of the players I listed that are currently on the Sabres..is having a losing hall of fame career.

Tage, Peterka, Dahlin, Power and Levi could all end up being HOFers. They have time and the skill to do it.

You said winning in the NHL is all that matters, so was just responding to that.

Blasphemy! I say

do you think thomas is the first line center and tage gets demoted to the second line?

doubt it

do you think they locked cozens up all these years to bury him, doubt it

I never brought a cup into this conversation but thomas was given the derek roy treatment after ror left and it became his team (number 1 center like roy after breire and drury left) and his team fails just as much as the sabres


again different zip code, same disappointment

just move casey or cozens to the wing and let kulich or savoie take the third line center slot since they refuse to give krebs a shot with decent wingers
- homiedclown

Hate to say it, but yes, I think Thomas is better than Tage. Cozo or Tage can both move to wing, so don't have to be buried.

I agree that I just want a playoff game too. I just don't think that avoiding good players on bad teams is our best course. Sorry to jump to the Cup stuff, you're right, wasn't your response at all.

Tage sucks on the Dot

Blasphemy! I say

All are stretches, outside Levi who really has the skill and youth to be one of the greats. People are really going to love him when he starts dominating and stealing us points. It's coming to a theatre near you real soon.

none of those players will be considered for the Hall of fame...Levi has become the most overrated player in the game already.

Tage sucks on the Dot
- Buff36

Agreed, unless he's taking a one timer in that spot. Then he's one of the best.

We really need to figure out how to get him shooting on the PP again.

I know we're at polar ends of the earth on him, but I would bet every dollar I have that he will be a star in this league. Like Saros on steroids.

Thank you for proving my point.

I don't think I did fwiw, there are very few players at their age that are sure fire HOFers. As I said, all have the skill and youth to go in the hall. A lot of that will depend on how quickly they're provided NHL caliber coaching and teammates.

Does he have to just Shoot, he's a Big Boy with good hands in close. Put him in front occasionally, slide, move your Feet, rotate. Rotate your shooters so there not in one spot all the Time.

Need to bring Kulich up, and let him start unloading from just above the Right Face of Circle. Kids got a cannon for a shot, would take pressure of Tage on the Left.

- QuinnFan

None have the compete required to be nominated...the Sabres skill gets used often, all it does is lose though. A player dependent on coaching and teammates is not going to be in the discussion for the HOF

I was referring to your adoration for Levi on proving my point. His actual performances are bad...he needs a lot to become even a number 1 goalie. He's no Marc Andre Fluery...who will be a HOF goalie, who I would take in a heartbeat over both Levi and UPL.

How is Kulich going to do that when Tage, Olo and others can't accomplish that?

of course he can do it.

Well like I said he has a Cannon, might be better than Olofsson. His wrist shot is for sure. And it draws players away from Tage to get his howitzer off just above the Left Faceoff Circle. Just looking for better options, plus Kulich isn't afraid of going to the Net. Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't but it's worth trying to get that PP going.

2 assists in his last 8 games going back to 12/20. Why the slump?

I agree they should call him up...or they should send down whoever they can and build a powerhouse in Rochester to make a run.

Bring up the kids for awhile and flood them with ice time here, then send them all down to go on a run...there is nothing to play for in Buffalo...again.

That's what I think, start getting ready for next year, get these kids some time on the big club so they can see where they stand and what things they need to work on for Camp next Year. Adams should really start trying to create his roster in someway starting know and through the TDL. Then you have a better picture of what needs to be done in the Offseason and FA.

This is just pessimism. Sorry.

And not adoring of Levi, just see what he will become. Remember, I'm the best judge of talent, the best scout, on this board.

Ullmark, Tage, Reinhart, Quinn, UPL, Dahlin, Peterka...the list goes onnnnn and onnnnnn.

they all add up to zero playoff games for the sabres though
