he had too many drops IMO

bring up austin or hodgins

I prefer hodgins
- homiedclown

I'm guessing it would be Hodgins. He's been with the team far longer, and that's how they operate.

will fuller?

Sens - 88.9 points
Wings - 87.1
Sabres - 75.6

The fear many have. Sabres are better, but the Sens and Wings did a lot more to improve this offseason.

Interesting in that Dom L's model (from The Athletic) projects 77 pts for the Sabres.

Maybe we fans are overly optimistic based on March April '22 performance against predominantly backup G's.
IDK just find it interesting 2 models are so close to each other, but significantly under us homers.

Wasn’t crowder returning punts. How fuller on punts? Any word on McKenzie?

I see no place for him

You'll be seeing girgensons in section 122 aisle ☝️

Obviously were all Sabres fans, but I cant see less than 80 points this season.

This team can compete night in and night out


Goaltending could be the concern still

Because the Sabres are even younger this year than last and even softer.

I assume a lot of it is just looking at the Sabres and not the overall picture. Atlantic is ranked as the toughest division in hockey and the teams around them did more to improve.

I believe Dom's model uses the last three years, it's going to be slow predicting young teams improving and old teams declining.

I see the Sabres getting to overtime 15- 20 times this season.

This team isnt going to easy to beat .

None of the experts take good vibes into consideration

They went to OT 18 times last year, which is pretty close to league average.

How would you like to see vibes taken into account? Just some kind bonus for Buffalo?

its like the superdelegate.. we just get points that aren't earned so that we can will our way into the playoffs.

To help the experts take good vibes into consideration, Gerbe has pulled off the impossible….after weeks of watching YouTube with the scouting department he has hired a President! No doubt about good vibes from anyone, anymore, introducing:

Yes, I'm buying the team unity for an extra 8-10 points.
Handful more wins, team play....

I didn't realize the league average, I'll take the over.

Gonna be tough to beat.

you missed the cutoff date was last night

I asked the question on the MB, hoping for some clarity.

Almost time to find out. A lot rides on cobbling together a respectable second line. Preseason hasn't given us much to on there.

There should be enough there to cobble a 2nd line.

Nobody told me there was a cutoff.

I trimmed my team down

Your keepers are in, you picked them, he didn't

Sounds good thank you

You remember what players you had and what 4 you wanted to keep ? you don't have to keep any if you don't want to.

We got lucky, but Malcolm Subban snuck through waivers!!
