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

Yep cozens needs a stud winger. Peterka, Quinn and/or Kulich could turn into that but can’t expect it from 18-20 year olds

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

4 useful d-men we’re put on waivers earlier this year as well while the injury excuse was fully in effect.

The Sabres had every chance to improve both in the off-season and during the season, and have chosen not to for whatever reason.

This team needed 2 additional wins and would be in a playoff spot, they chose to do nothing.

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?
- Leninthebuff

Plenty
Mitts is on pace for 50pts and Olofsson is on pace for 30+ goals

If we added at forward, it would’ve been Quinn & Peterka who stayed in the AHL- not Mitts or Olofsson or Okposo or Girgs who’d have been dumped

Sabres fumbled this offseason in terms of fixing obvious roster holes.

Adams has been very lucky that a few of Botterill’s picks have surpassed expectations (Cozens, UPL, Samuelsson)

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.
- Buff36

Or…. U just seem to overvalue them
And if you’re gonna start taking shots, let’s just end the convo now

He said stud winger. Not guy who, if he werent from buffalo, would just be another old dude dragging the hawks to bedard

Fair
But we gotta let them play to develop

And right now Quinn and Peterka could use AHL time.

There's nothing left for them in the AHL. The kid line rocked until NHL teams started figuring them out, the next phase of their development is to adjust to that. Going to the AHL to play against the next Arber Xhekaj doesn't help them accomplish that.

Kane seems to be on the decline
There’s no way I’d consider giving up assets for him
And idk that I’d even wanna go after him as a UFA at this point

He’s 34 & starting to slow down

peace and love

Always. I can't wait to be back in FLA. And I never thought I'd say that lol

- ImThatGuy

Remember when people told us there wasn’t room for a forward addition because there were too many? And I said that I’d guarantee that Quinn and Peterka would sit multiple times during the year?

Could you imagine if Tuch, Thompson or Cozens miss any amount of time?

So what?
The guy was named Captain, he wasn’t getting shipped outta here

So which is it don’t rush the prospects which was said all offseason and gets repeated constantly or prospects don’t need AHL time. Can y’all pick a damn lane and stay in it.

I’m pretty sure EVERYONE here wanted them in the lineup to start the season
