Who are you thinking of? It doesn't seem like there's really much competition this year.
- Lunaion


I guess quinn potentially peterka? Maybe as longshots.

Upl, bryson and Samuelson seem like they are better than guys who will be dressing for the Sabres. Over Hagg/ psyck type guys. Even miller....


Vinnie historisas.....

No offense homie, but maybe drake cugugglia...

I undertand seasoning players in Rochester too ☝️

I blame the bills coaching in the second half vs the steelers for that
- homiedclown


I think josh was off that game. Seemed like he wanted to win the mvp, didnt take what was given.

Samuelson's injury ended his chance. Bryson has a legit shot.

I don't see why you'd want to rush the others. Play well in Roch and they can earn a shot quickly.

This defense is no where near as dominant as ‘15.

Anything can happen, but they aren’t a top 5 AFC team right now

They go beat KC and LA or even split the 4 games with them I’ll change my mind

- sbroads24


With a healthy Bradley Chubb and Ronald Darby it might.

How many teams would Pat Surtain be the 4th corner on if he gets relegated back to Nickel and Dime packages ?

Von is still Von.

Simmons and Jackson are the best safety duo in the league, if not one of the best.

Guess we’ll find out

Does anyone really expect Anderson to see a heavy workload? There's plenty of opportunity for Dell, and inevitably UPL. I can't get excited about them, but I also don't have season tickets.
- Lunaion


😀

I find the whole situation exciting. Are the Sabres openingly going to tank4?

40 year old Anderson seemed like a great counter punch to Arizona signing hutton.

Dell with the 2 way deal seems very tweener.

After last year they probably assume 3 will be needed.

Glad to hear dell looked good and is an option. It's not gonna be fun getting destroyed every night.
Losing close hard fought games with our young players putting up some good #'s will suffice this season

I want a good balance between the best player plays, and good ahl seasoning. I like to see some future sabres guys in person. Not veteran frindge hanger on/ waiver guys.

What happened to samuelsson?

I take 1 day off to focus on football....

So New England shouldn't have been proud the last two decades?

Only because they won Super Bowls, not for winning the division 47 times.

You know how little a two way deal means, right? People reading too much into that is probably going to drive me insane.

I really don't know how this team is going to score goals.

The Broncos, health permitting, may also have the best defence in the entire league.

It worked in 2015, I don’t see why it can’t work now.

Teddy is also more efficient than 2015 Peyton.

How many times did the 49ers go on deep runs with Alex Smith and Jimmy Goroppolo with the same formula ?

What was Jared Goff’s record as a starter in LA despite being awful ?

- Pegullaville


Let's wait until they play a team that can actually score some points.

Jesus why do we need a VP of hockey Ops? I mean what’s the point? Is bringing in someone to takeover that role really going to change anything? Probably not. Tampa’s won two Cups with Briesbois having both that title and GM and alternative governor.

I guess people forgot when we had LaFontaine as our Prez. He sure did well for us. Hired Murray to absolutely destroy our rebuild and cut and run when he realized he made the wrong decision.

How little does it mean?

Seams like a fringe nhl player. A player that is property of the organization, but isn't being committed too...

Upl was / is the 3rd goaltender taken in the 2017 draft.
A strapping 6'5 of potential. A World class winner.

It means he makes 750k in the NHL or 350k in the AHL. It's a non-factor in their decisions.

He would have to clear waivers. That matters a little....sometimes.

Garoppolo is fine
No reason to rush the kid- look what happened to Fields today

No reason for the Sabres to rush their kids either
Let them develop in Rochester
We’re gonna be bad this year regardless

I'm more about the team impact then the salary impact.

Generally, 32 year old journeyman guy's making the league minimum, with a 2 way deal are not starting for an nhl team in game 1 of the season.

Of course , unless your team wants to pick early next season

Pass interference calls are getting absolutely crazy

You’re just supposed to let the receiver catch anything he wants apparently
