I am absolutely ready for fresh tactics and a different style of game play.

Many coaches are able to adapt to their roster and will play a style that their players are capable of. Alain Vigneault, Bruce Boudreaux, Lindy Ruff are a couple of guys who have had to adapt to their rosters and play different styles.

I hope Ralph is flexible enough to change with his personnel.

When you've got one line capable of scoring, you might as well play defense, because most nights, you're just not going to win a shootout.

I like what Ralph has done. Jared Bednar did much worse in his first season in Colorado and they made out alright.

Get him some more toys and a goalie that can make a few extra saves.

Very much Agree, if they could add atleast 2 more guys upfront that can create offense and better goaltending would go a long way to helping.

I think we can all agree that Matt Murray is not the answer to better goaltending.

Hope that does not happen.

Why trade for murray when you could trade for BigBjalls Bjeffsteff

There should be a decent amount of UFA candidates. Mike Smith is a candidate for elite tallness team

I hope it isn't true, way better options out there.

Olofsson Eichel Rhino
Skinner Monahan Smith
Kahun Cozens Mojo
Maroon Rusto Lazar

Dahlin DeMelo
Merril Joker
McCabe Miller

Ullmark
Demko
Traded Montour, Asplund and 2021 1st for Monahan
Traded Risto for Demko and Tyler Madden

Why not sign Lehner then you still have Risto.

Id take Boyle for $1m

Cost a lot more, and doubt Lehner would come back here.

Could Merzlikins be a option

He's a RFA, wonder if a deal for him and Anderson could be worked out.

It's interesting that you are mentioning Boyle to someone named Lance...

If you are offering info on a solution.... THX

Because DeMelo is better and cheaper than Ristolainen?

With JB gone hopefully we don’t pick a D with 8 Oa. I would quit if we do.

If Drysdale is available you take him a And have an evil laugh When you take a franchise defenseman

Remember when Terry Pegula said “From this point forward, the Buffalo Sabres’ sole reason for existence is to win a Stanley Cup?”

And “Money is no longer an issue.” “If I want to make money I’ll drill another well.”

Yeah me too.

Turns out that dipstick was full of it.

Carry on.

Money is not an issue lmao

It really depends on who is on the board at that time, and what moves for players have been made.

Why are we trading for a goaltender That's not proven and I believe 6K is gonna be way better

If that's all it takes for Sean monahan and I'm cool with it just no 8th overall pick

I'm just saying if Drysdale is available for us It would be so incredibly stupid not to take him

- kingcong39

I am at the point that I would take some highly rated prospects that are on the cusp of the NHL just to get rid of Risto and his cap hit. Rochester is gonna need some players, and 1/2 are prospects aren't ready yet.

Agreed
