Afinogenov and Biron are my favorite Sabres ever besides Stu Barnes.

Scandella and Bogo for the rights to Big Buff

0 risk

Buff back to RW

I'd even throw a conditional pick if he does return

Interesting idea,
but can they fit both those guys under the Cap?

Pretty sure we’d have to take back some salary

Thanks for letting me know. What would I do without your guidance? And all of this for free; You're doing God's work for Him (Over50).

So are we good again or just waiting for the other shoe to drop?

I kinda think we might be good again, but I was fooled last year...

So IDK.....

Moving in the right direction
We’ll get a better idea as this year plays out
But it’ll likely depend on how much growth we see from our young talent

I get Max, very dynamic player
Why Stu & Biron?
I liked them too, just not on that level

LaFontaine & Briere are my 2 favs

San Jose made a truly poor choice with Karlsson.

Just bring in another forward that we don’t need.

He started off slow last year too and still had a good year by the end of it. His wife also just had a baby, so my guess is he's not entirely focused right now, especially given what they went through before.

Don't you know? Game by game, these players are either great or they're the worst to ever lace 'em up!

Well there's what, 8 years on the deal?

Plenty of time to continue to re-evaluate. Cong pointed out to me that he just had a kid though, so fair point there.

Still a horrible contract

His contract is brutal, but he's still pretty good and will have value for the bulk of the contract.

I'm sure Marleau will help calm the room down too.

Evaluating a team in October is a crapshoot more often than not.

I understand the concerns though.

Karlsson should be producing more, and likely will once life calms down.

The Sabres are 2-0-1 ...... people here are acting like they are 0-10.

Everyone relax ...... it’s okay so far.

Montreal will be a good test. We need to see how this team responds this year.

The Sabres stole a 1 point last night .... precious years we get crushed 6-1.

Getting points on the teams worst date is not the worst thing in the world.

i'm torn between agreeing with you and also not wanting to hold back criticism of obvious coaching blunders because the team won 2 games

Tonight should be telling of what Krueger learned from the first real test of the season.

Can he get the team to play with desperation?

Will Rodrigues make the most of his time in the lineup?

He will lead the team in average MPH and be top-5 in total distance traveled

Am i doing advanced stats right?

Do you actually have credentials to know this type of thing?

We're fans. There are things that happen that we like and things that don't. We're not in practice, we're not in the locker room. Do coaches make mistakes? Sure. But they're human just like we are. The team has gotten 5 out of 6 points to start the season. Honestly, they've exceeded my expectations thus far. So in terms of "obvious blunders" you're reaching there.

Doesn't mean they're perfect or it'll stay that way the whole season. Just enjoy the ride while it's happening my friend.
