I wouldn't mind it, think he actually would like it here with all the young talent. Talented and doesn't mind using his body to get what he wants.

The Sabres are one of the few teams that would have no trouble qualifying him at $10M for next season too.

>>> Sabres
Unlike the Kraken, the Sabres’ playoff chances are dwindling. But no one expected them to be at that point just yet. Buffalo’s progressing a ton. That growth paired with an addition like Meier could make this team a more legitimate threat next season. A Meier trade to the Sabres could mirror the Alex DeBrincat deal to Ottawa. The Senators weren’t a playoff threat at the time of the deal, but made it so they better their chances of becoming one. Buffalo’s a bit top-heavy with their top line, but Meier, maybe paired with Dylan Cozens on the second line, helps balance that out for years to come.

After years of retooling, the Sabres have future assets. Now they need more right-now pieces that’ll help this team for years to come.

Should start some interesting convo on here 🤔

Olofsson is slotted perfectly on the 3rd line and 2nd PP unit.

Keep him

On a good team. This is how they would also use him
- Sabretooth9

Are you bringing back all the forwards in the top 9 next season? Only changing a bit on the 4th line, if that?

Olofsson will also be a UFA after next season.

Are you extending him beyond next season?

Are the Pegula's preparing the Sabres for Sale with this hire?

Has anyone looked into how much this new COO Roth is worth

Bro we get it. You did not like the pick.

Oh my

Are the Pegula's preparing the Sabres for Sale with this hire?
- IonSabres

My understanding is Roth was brought in to help facilitate the stadium repairs/ replacement.

I believe Kim was involved mostly over the years.

Roth may turn into a minority owner.

You are right. He’s better than makar and will make more
- Sabretooth9

8x10… make it so…

Match cozens to Tage… not sure he’ll take it but why not try.

Does Jost get a raise from $2 per? Do you keep him?

I think we can move on from Okposo and Grigs. But can see a 1 year for Okposo and 2 for grigs.

I can still flip a coin on olo and mitts. Happy to use them as trade chips for a d man.

Been doing it for a long time, had to have made a decent buck

They deserve the kudos, especially their management who did a tremendous job after a somewhat odd expansion draft.

https://www.capfriendly.com/depth-charts/kraken

Check out how balanced their lineup is from 1st to 4th line, and how much production they're 4th is giving them.

They made some nice FA signings with Burakovsky, Donato, Sprong and Schulz.

Their defense is big and imposing, and they had a very nice 2022 draft, including getting Ty Nelson in the 3rd round.

Impressive all around.
- kingcong39

Imagine where they would be if Grubauer was just average

Think that 2nd last year was a huge miss IMO. The Sabres really could have used Luneau or Warren and a few others that where still there. Keep hearing it's not a big deal, we can go out and buy one. Well yeah and Buffalo is gonna have to do that, might have to get 2. But in 2 to 4yrs those young D will be needed because Dahlin and Power making a sh!t ton of money. If you are building a team solely through the Draft, well you gotta draft some D. We have a sh!t ton of Forward Prospects Damn probably won't ever see a 1/4 of them.
- Buff36

if portillo or levi had signed I doubt they make that pick


they got what they feel was the best goalie prospect in the draft


it's fine

2 year deal + drafting all F's showed us their plan. Strong finish would make the offseason the perfect time to make a trade.

😝 the uglies today.

Tage gets right today and we put up 8 goals

Isn't this a Sabres blog, aren't we supposed to talk about Sabres stuff. Sorry didn't know I was the only one that has brought that up.
- Buff36

Right on. But we get it. Its been mentioned plenty of times from plenty of people. We dont know what the goalie will turn into. Could be the pick of the draft for all we know.

For a casual buzzer even I know you said the same thing plenty of times since the season started. But keep beating a dead horse if we need to keep this blog alive.

That's cool, just thought it still mattered, cause it might affect future planes but I will stop.

I love the all goalie ceremonial puckdrop.

So has UPL basically taken the net
