It's like when a skunk walks up on a campfire.

Everyone runs except that one guy who knows that skunks don’t actually spray unless it’s a last resort. They just stomp around and huff and puff at you then go spray on their own bed and lay down in it.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

No matter what they do or don't do, it's gotten to the point where there are some that will rip them just to rip them

they earned that title with the last 10 seasons of sabres hockey

Really? That is a dream scenario for me. Eklund, Drysdale and Zegras would most likely be our three top players with a handful of other guys vying for that title. Would make our D elite with power and Dahlin, give us a top line winger and three centers of zygras, cozens and mitts.

Would prob be bad for one year and be ready to roll in 2023 for 10 plus years.

Also cap dump could be Henrique or Gibson or both which would help the kids prepare for the nhl

Henrique could shield our centers for one year. Make him play top lines and get destroyed. In 2023 he can be a 4th line center when we still have cap space and we can roll four lines.

I’m talking about the northwest corner of 5 and 77. Exit 48A. Accustomed to concert traffic that I would imagine generates similar traffic as a Bills game for traffic on 5 and 77 since majority of traffic going going to concerts is coming from the Thruway and 5 and 77 won’t see any of that traffic with direct thruway access. Geography wise might be perfect. Accesswise excellent. State gains a boost in tolls on game days/events?

In other words, yes, you are talking about Pembroke.

The "quick" turnaround might be a bit overzealous. Gonna be some suffering for at least 2 more years IMO.

Hopefully they get some new faces that bond together, play exciting hockey and turn the page in 2023

Gibson could shield 6K until he’s ready to take over and after that Gibson can be signed as a backup or let him go and get a different veteran Goalie

From backreading.

The Sabres are good and deserve no criticism. They are doing good things.


Just a quick reminder,
how many teams don't have NHL coaches currently?
How many teams don't really have a front office structure at the moment?
How many teams fired everyone (Some people by accident) and still haven't hired any people to replace them?

Gibson is a top 10 goalie.
Playing behind a bad Ducks team hurt him.
