Remember that draft well. Yakupov and Grigs were supposed to be studs. Lot of mocks gad is taking Tom Wilson then we traded up for Girgs

Kirby Dach has 7-6-13 in 45 games played.

Now the bottom 6 minutes may be beneficial in the long run, time will tell.

I still think Cozens going back to Lethbridge and getting the ice time and WJC experience will benefit him more in the long run. I am excited to see him grow and develop over the course of the rest of the season and through to next years training camp.

Andrei Svechnikov is having one of the best teenage scoring seasons in the last 20 years ranking only behind the likes of Crosby and McDavid and tied with the likes of P.Kane and Laine at 0.88ppg.

Canes got quite the consolation prize.

He’s to hoping Buffaluck doesn’t continue to hamper us and Dahlin continues his upward trend.
He has been phenomenal since the concussion and is on track to becoming one of the highest scoring teenage d-men ever.

I feel like the top of the 2018 draft was not talked about enough like the top talents of recent drafts were.

Have you guys seen the jerseys the former players were wearing.

Players names misspelled, goat head jerseys look like they were made by a 5 year old.


This team is a (frank)ing joke and they do not care about their fans.

Terry and Kim Pegula can blow it out their asses if they ever say they care.

After what Vancouver did for their 50th with all the uniforms, and all we got was that putrid gold abomination, they lost me but this is even worse. The team is for making money, the fans lose with this franchise. Its a joke.

There was a rumor that we would have a 70s and 90s uniform this season, but those plans got nixed.

Homie, 89, or anyone in the know, is this season considered lost by the organization, or are they going to see how the home stand after the break goes to try and get a piece or two.

The caveats being Skinner is close to coming back after the break, and Olofsson not too far behind.

Ek indicated that the Sabres are trying to make trades to improve their standings, but I don't know if this aligns with what we have seen.

I know Homie and 89 have said not to expect anything flashy, but if they can bring in RNH this year, it could spark something. I'm ready for a heroic race to 9th.

This multi million dollar organization trotted out its alumni with misspelled, knockoff non NHL jerseys.

They were probably made by the Pegula kids.

It’s entirely embarrassing.

The have the worst Marketing and PR departments in all of sports, and that includes minor league.

To me it feels like all efforts are put towards the Bills. I am probably wrong, and I'm sure they care about the Sabres, but it feels like their primary focus is on the Bills rather than the Sabres.

the help for this season will come from olofsson and skinner

expect little other then moving out rentals


botts has inquired on RNH in the past, esp after ror was moved

I would expect him to kick the tires on him this summer, if he becomes a free agent

I heard he is looking to upgrade at LD, so if a move can be made over this summer to get an LD with 1 or 2 years left on his deal, don't be shocked if that happens over the summer


mccabe will probably be moved around the draft, from what I heard


priority remains having enough money for reinhart and montour

Appreciate it.

Would RNH be bought out? I think he's a UFA in 2021-2022.

Thanks for the info clown.

Would Girgs and Larsson be back? I hope we move on from those two, especially considering how good Lazar has been. I don't see Vesey or Sheary back and maybe one or both could be moved at the TD. I would like to see Ruotsalainen get a shot. I think next year's forward group is gonna be young.

LD- De Haan, Ghost, Brodin, Maata or maybe Ryan Lindgren from the Rags. I know this is probably a reach on a few but ya never know. If Erik Gustafsson hits FA, I would make a play for him.

I would think he'll be back with the Oil next year for the final year of his contract. He would be a nice C to get though.

if we move sheary and/or vesey at the TDL can we bring that guy over to play in the NHL from europe or was that an all or nothing move when he went back?

2 things
-RNH has 1 year left after this season. The Oil are the same as Sabres needing secondary scoring, I don't see them moving him...although he would fill a need nicely here.
-You and 89 have said the same about not wanting to add anything big until they understand Reinhart and Montour contracts...so I believe it...but don't understand where the uncertainty comes in. I would think by now the have run models and talked to their agents for rough idea of demands of $'s and term. I would hope, with Bott's background he should have a pretty tight range.
