I think we all know how important vibes are, but is it the be all end all?

Were vibes critical when Riley Sheahan's significant other went off on social media about Riley being assigned to Rochester?

the guy signed an almost minimum wage, 2-way contract 1 month into free agency. (frank) off with that.

fwiw dreger claimed we were actively looking for a defenseman. I think Adams is as proactive as any GM in the league. The difference is, many of those GMs are dealing with much older players. Kevyn has an entire barn of developing players.

I think when the team proves they have real promise, and need a piece to get them to the next level, he'll do what he needs to do to get them there.

He did his job this summer, filled the gaps and is allowing his young talent to grow, as repeatedly promised.

Does he have an entire barn full of developing defensemen...?

That's it right there. Why not try out some that are basically free.

depends on the context. We know my stance on Joker.

The sub NHL depth is bigly weak. You're not filling that without drafting.

More appropriate for the NHL depth than the rest of the organization.

I can't wait for him to release his flat earth reptilian agenda research. It's going to be groundbreaking stuff

Don't sleep on the reptilians, Hank. They're a deadly enemy.

Isn't looking for a defenseman after 3 injuries reactive, not proactive?

I'm generally with Cong on this. System is all F's and no D. Challenge is going to be selling high on a F for a D, ideally next summer. Easy to say sell high, buy low. Very difficult to do, while preaching vibes and want to be here. They drafted themselves into a very strange spot.

Sabres are trying to develop and put pieces in place to be a Championship Team. Sabres have a lot of young D man, 3 or 4 are probably no more than 6 or 7 D . They really have no one coming up maybe Lindgren, but that's a ways away, if Johnson walks there really f@cked. I really don't understand the flake from people if they would have tried Bear or if they traded for Holl. Maybe they work or maybe they don't. Really doesn't hurt you to find out other than a 5th and 3.6mill in cap, I know that hurts and only leaves us 16m under the ceiling, damn were Broke!! Hell might get Lucky and 1 of those pieces fit nicely and damn you got a cheap Dman and a pick to boot. We are developing and building, doesn't mean you stop trying to find better material.
- Buff36


I think the fact that you act like a 5th and 3.6 m in cap space is feasible.

That's not the way we are structured. Team doesnt throw $ away.

How do you not understand that?

“Throwing away money” …. See Ben bischop on the Sabres salary for this year. Literally the definition of that.

The Sabres at this point …..should hold tight and stay the course.

We are 10 games in with a winning record. Let’s see how this month pans out and go from there.

Now if we had the injuries and were above .500 in late January. I would be saying we should make a move.
