Better goaltending is definitely one thing.

They didn’t get a shot on goal for over 23 mins straight two days ago (while down 2-0)
They got shut out yesterday.

It’s more than goaltending. They’re still terrible. It just sucks really.

29 goals in 12 games
13 on pp
1 with our goalie pulled

15 at even strength

I’d like to see what this team looks like with dependable goaltending before we go trading our franchise player
I’d even move Ralph into management & give a new coach a try first as well

I understand everyone’s frustrations
But i don’t think we’re at the “blow it up” stage yet

And I don't think they are either.

But, ffs, do SOMETHING.

Yes, for 2 seasons under Botterill while Pegulaville told us that salvation was a Mittlestadt, Dahlin or Cozens away.

We wandered the wilderness for 10 years from 2006-2015 looking for a 1C, and now all of you are so ready to jump back into it. There is recent historical precedence on THIS team to demonstrate that this logic is faulty.

You trade him and you spend the next ten years searching for him

Mitts not panning out definitely doesn’t help.

Unfortunately enough for us Eichel might not be around long enough to see Cozens turn into a high end 2C.

I stand by the tank though.

Yeah but brett farve then Aaron Rodgers...

I wouldnt mind being excited about Brady tkachuk being my captain or tim stusltze.

We could probably get that type of package for eichel.

Maybe not?
Cozens could be very good - not eichel good but...

Ennis is in the top 6 for the Oilers but Skinner can't get into the top 6. Go figure.

Ennis has actually been scoring goals.
Pretty easy to figure out, he's earning top minutes.

Skinner did nothing the last 2 games with eichel, but bring him down.

The best time to buy is when sentiment is low

Only thing is we have to put our trust in a first time GM to swing a trade to bring in another top 6 forward here to salvage the season.

I’m not ready to throw in the towel yet.

Pretty coincidental that eichel had the worst 2 games all season. - with skimmer


They also played the islanders who are very good defensively.

The Blues almost did that too when they came out of the gate slow and we’re dead last in the NHL almost half way into the season prior to promoting Berube to coach and going on to win a cup.

No, I’m not saying the Sabres will win the cup.

However the first 7 or so games they played this year were the best this team has looked analytically speaking in over a decade but they couldn’t buy a goal. It was the inverse of the 10 game winning streak of a few years back were they were terrible yet continued to win some how.

If they can get back to playing how they were the first 7 games of this season and Adams can swing a trade for more forward help then we have a chance at the 4th playoff spot. However they need to figure it out quick

skinner made a great play early with the game scoreless...he fed eichel a nice pass through traffic and eichel sent it to olofsson who was all alone at sororkin's left...it hit the goalie's glove and glanced off the post
