I wonder what these guys physically do with these paper transactions.

Do Olaffsson and Jokiharju actually go to Rochester or just stay in their hotel?

"The return of Jack Eichel as captain and addition of two new alternate captains leaves Kyle Okposo's jersey blank; he had been an alternate captain for the Sabres since the 2017-18 season.

Okposo is too insignificant to this team to wear an A. Sorry, but playing time matters when you're a leader. You can't lead on the ice when you're playing 10 minutes a night.

No, I like Krueger. I'm excited to see what his system is about.

I just think anecdotal things like quotes from former players and people around hockey are a crap way to evaluate a head coach. No one was praising Krueger and campaigning for him to get another job. It's only once people get hired that everyone has something good to say, and why not, saying nice things is well...nice.

Just remember, the same things were said about Housley and Bylsma and even by some about Nolan. There isn't a single coach who could have been hired that people wouldn't have said good things about.

So realistically, I'm going to expect an average coaching job out of him because that's what 95% of the guys in this league give you. This isn't a coaches league like the NFL. If the team is the same as last year, are we going to fire Krueger? I'm not calling for it, because I recognize that the difference between coaches at this level is pretty insignificant.

Lots of giveaways around the league. A lot more than Buffalo, but there are definitely worse teams than us with that aspect.

Fan appreciation in Buffalo flat (frank)ing sucks. With how immersive Kim is, it's quite frankly extremely disappointing. Even our team twitter handle is a puddle of melted (frank)ing vanilla icecream. (frank) you, twitter guy, you suck.

That felt good.

As of now, even though the wording was shoddy... McCabe and MoJo are the A's for the year.

I think the biggest thing will be some secondary offense. That way other teams wont be able to focus ONLY on the first line and Eichel

Snake draft at 6 with randomized draft order. Hopefully done with it by 7:00 for the first game. Just log into your ESPN account before the draft

Hamburg should surely be in the top 6. I can make a strong case for top pp time too. Love Hamburg.
