We aren’t getting a good partner for Power for scraps either
I’m quite sure that other teams aren’t gonna be as high on guys like Rousek, Murray & Biro as some here seem to be

Gotta give to get

Sure, but there's plenty more in the treasure chest.

Comrie, Lyubushkin, Hinostroza,

Which Kyvyn Adyms 2022 offseason acquisition is your favorite?

They are a young team. There Defense really hasn't moved in the right direction, other than a few, it's been consistently bad.

One line team atm, need to get JJ and Quinn going again.

Youth, lack of depth & injuries will do that
- jdfitz77

Sure, but this was talked about before the season and Adams could have addressed this earlier and did nothing. Connor Timmins for Brett Murray sure would have been nice.

You’re gonna have to be a lot more specific
What assets do u wanna use to get Power a legit partner- say Murphy from Chicago (since i know u like him)?

Yep but who really thought we were a playoff team this year?

We’re clearly missing a tough RHD who’s a female dog to play against - we went bargain bin shopping for it by signing 46 but he’s not the answer - he was directly responsible for goals 2 and 4 against tonight.

Get me a more experienced /tougher Samuelson type and let the youngsters grow and we’ll be good soon

Other than last night the team has been really fun to watch - I went to the Minnesota game last weekend and it was insane

17 saves on 21 shots isn’t enough either

The black hole line was three 3 of the top 4 forwards in xg% tonight

Cozens line the only forwards under 40%. Asplund and Hinostroza managed to bury Cozens. Impressive

Sometimes they don't. Can't tell you why. Notice they don't have Joker active right now. They probably don't know how they did it right now.

CapFriendly has the Sabres roster at 24 right now.

Lyubushkin has been bad, I really didn't expect this much stank.

Pilut came back
Bryson & Fitz looked good last year at times

Completely reasonable that Adams wanted to see more from them

You already know what I put out there and has been talked about with Chicago fans. Philadelphia's 2nd and Bloom or Nadeau is basically the minimum that most would take.

Have we tried him with Power yet?
I hear Leaf’s fans saying he played well with Reilly last year on their top pair

Maybe he just needs to get away from Bryson, Pilut, etc

People can talk depth scoring or another defenseman all they want. The only thing keeping the Buffalo Sabres from a playoff birth is the goaltending. Comrie was sub .850 % tonight. Any other Sabre goalie in net this season, and we win this game.

Now, another level to build a team who wins in the playoffs, but goaltending and ONLY goaltending is stopping us from being at least the 8th seed in the EC right now.

If u think i remember the nuances of your Cap Friendly posts, i can assure you i do not

I don’t think a mid-level (at best) prospect gets it done

Has Adams been allowed to spend??

He’s still figuring out what we have with all this young talent.
And the NHL isn’t Xbox- can’t just decide u wanna make a trade & have it happen 5min later, takes time
It’s not like there’s a flurry of NHL trades happening right now- or AT ALL this year yet

- jdfitz77


All our talent is in the forward ranks, there is nothing on defense in Rochester to hold back as far as Dmen. Carolina got Coghlan and Pacioretty for nothing. Coghlan is a young RD prospect. Pacs is far better than Hinostroza as an example. If they aren't in playoff contention come the TDL who gets you more Hino or Pacs?
As far as I'm concerned 22 and 77 could still have been here and better players could have been added. How much production are we getting from the bottom 6?

Timmins was traded at the end of November, think Adams had a clue by then.

Sure, could be right but I will take a few of the Hawks fans observations over yours. Funny they seem to know more about some of are prospects then you do.

just because you sign lyubushkin for 2 years

doesn't mean you need to play him for 2 years

Comrie was no bueno

Asplund and hino usless. We missed that 3rd line that could score

It turned into 2 grinder lines. Mitts line the wildcard and tage line

Clauge who everyone loves. Was again terrible.

Clauge and Bryson are both the same player They are useless
