I guess the old saying goes "You get what you pay for"

So if they'd spent $9 million on a starting goalie, that came w the guarantee that he, or any of the other goalies, wouldn't have ever gotten injured?

maybe don't rely on a 40+ year old goalie who hadn't played in 2 years to be your starter?

I don't know you can go back to the summer and I pretty much called the Sabres will be in trouble at goalie because I don't see either staying healthy/being able to carry this workload.

Did i think it would get this bad, no. but it wasn't crazy to me.

the fact that they are now just thinking "Hey we should weaponize our cap space" because we overvalued our own bad players is absolutely asinine.

Weaponizing cap space should have been plan A,B,C,D and E

- ImThatGuy



If you honestly think that they'd (Adams, Karmanos, Ventura) JUST thought of this, then I can't help you.

Sports are a very fluid business. Sh!t happens and you have to adjust.

You seem to think that everything should go according to plan A, no matter what.

when i was playing ball hockey, our goalie got suspended for the playoffs. The rule at the time was no replacement goalie for the playoffs so it came down to "who wants to play goalie"? Since i was the youngest guy on the team, i "won". We lost, i did ok. So Krebs is up. Suit up, buddy.

They make good moves for the long term, short term has been brutal. How much of that is due to TTT vs this rookie staff learning on the fly?

Doesn't mean it wasn't discussed or even attempted this year, you whiny mitch.

It's incredible to me how you're not in management in the NHL somewhere. You're clearly smarter than everyone else in the room, you (frank)ing crybaby.
