Bruins defense is ridiculous now... as if it weren't before the trade. Setting up perfect for a Sabres sweep. President's Trophy curse.

<------ this guy called Orlov getting moved 3 days ago.

Tom Wilson. Who wants him?

This is a guy Hank wrote about a year ago that Marty Biron was very interested in.

Goaltending should be something also being looked at.

He's had a solid season, but his 21 starts are the most he's had in one season, and he looks too be getting worse as the team got worse. In his last 10 starts he's had a sub .900% 6 times.

Maybe 20 starts is all he's good for in a season? A Comrie+ clone?

Interesting seeing Quinn elevate his game as the season moves along while Peterka seems to have hit the wall. I think a move for a bottom 6 guy might be ideal to make JJ the 12/13th forward.

As for D, would love to see a top 4 that pushes Joker to the third pair or a 5/6 guy that puts Bryson and Clague out of the lineup.

Regarding the Cernak hit, couldn't that play have been reviewed on the ice? Or was it not because a penalty wasn't called initially? If he doesn't end up with a suspension...

Love the optimism.
Imagine the game by game reaction of posters here when Boston physically abuses the Sabres in 4 straight games. That would be epic.

I'm getting tired of the Sabres brass trying to figure out who the next B/U, up and coming goalie will be

You seem butt hurt that the Sabres beat the Lightning. You were hoping you could come on here and talk about how awesome Tampa is. Traitor.

Well good Vibes and all, this young team is finding away to put there foot in the door. If they win tonight I would hope Adams might alter his plan a bit and help his team out. There's a few Dman that could really help this team out for a push this year and help for a few years down the road.
Chychrun
Ekholm
Gavrikov are gonna cost you but would make are top 4 pretty damn Good
Jensen
Dumba
Fabbro
Murphy could be fits at a lesser cost but all have ? on how or if they fit.

The problem is if you arenā€™t growing them yourself or making a trade before they make it (see Levi) you arenā€™t getting a starter. Those guys only hit UFA looking for a lottery ticket (Bob).

Does anyone know the last time the Sabres swept the state of Florida on a two or three day trip? Have they ever?

They have so much damn trade capital I donā€™t get why they canā€™t make a trade. If this fails we are going to be calling kyv the anti GMTM.

On February 24, 1993 Alexander Mogilny had 4 goals and a helper in barnburner at the Aud over the Detroit Red Wings (10 - 7). Patty had 5 points himself (2 + 3), and Razor threw down with Keith Primeau. Some guy named Yzerman had a goal and 3, and another fella named Ray Sheppard had 2 + 1.

edit: Vlad Konstantinov and Nicklas Lidstrom were a combined -5. Bet that didn't happen often.

Maybe heā€™s just referring to the passionate mood swings of some fans? šŸ˜‰

Been the starting LG in Baltimore the last few years. Think he's ranked 40 in the top 50 FA available.
