R2DR is good in Rochester because AHL teams if they are lucky have 4/5 kids that have skill and are developing and the rest are career AHLers.

So beating up on the Brett Murray’s of the world isn’t that hard to produce and look good.

It’s the pilut effect

Good read!! I hope the front office took notice throughout this run to. Sabres have a lot of skill guys, they need to add a bit of size and grit with that skill.

That's why I would like Crouse or Nichushkin or Burakosky(spelling). Bring some grit but can also play the game. I think Crouse would fit nicely here, just turned 23, just popped 20 goals last year and he's got a nasty side. And rumor is there willing to listen. And maybe add Gubs to your backend if you can't adjust your top4, little nasty up front and in the back.

I'm definitely in the same camp.

That said, I still think Adams slow plays it this offseason, especially upfront as there are just too many questions that still need to be answered. He really doesn't have a clear picture of what he has to be able to make the proper moves.
Cozens
Krebs
Mitts
Quinn
JJ Peterka
Tage
Asplund
That is 7 guys to figure out if they are L1, L2, L3 guys.
Personally, I do agree with it

Good Post!! I just don't want to miss the opportunity either to add one of those players either. There's a few I would be willing to move to make room. One starts with G and ends in son's, see who jumps in now. I am fine with taking it slow but good hockey teams don't stop adding talent cause there figuring out line combinations.

I'd trade Garglesons in a hot minute.
And while I respect ths hell out of Okposo, I wouldn't resign after him next year...time to move on.
I'm hoping that Asplund develops into a shut down player and the Sabres can roll 4 lines

Yeah I look forward to Asplund taking that next step. I really don't expect much this off-season. But it would be nice to see atleast 1 of those needed area's addressed.

His breakout next year is going to be a treat.

Might even force KAGM to move some 2023 draft capital for a playoff run

Couldn’t agree more. Some more muscle, he will be a beast

Fiala says yes to a long term extension with the Sabres.

Guerin accepts Krebs and the Panthers 1st in return.

If you're the Sabres, do you make that deal?

Why would or wouldn't you?

I suppose
But I’d rather it be Mitts instead of Krebs
Maybe tell them if they want Krebs they get a 2nd instead of the late 1st

Fiala would be a great fit with us imo
Keep Skinner-Tage-Olofsson together
Then a line of Fiala-Cozens-Tuch would give us a very legit top6 imo

I don’t often cheer for Carolina
But after Ranger fans were such cocky a-holes with all their garbage trade offers for Eichel,
it’s fun to watch them lose & their fans melt down

That counteroffer is fair.

I wonder how Krebs is viewed league wide as a prospect.

Idk, i would assume quite highly

If it had to be Krebs & the FLA 1st, I’d tell them we want Foligno back then- & we could take Talbot off their hands as well for added Cap relief
