Murray may never make it, but think it's more about the forward depth they have then his skating.

Really hoping Greenway shows up in tip top shape. I'm afraid hes wasting a spot in our lineup

Totally agree, hope he brings his Balls this year instead of the purse.

I think we see a different #12 this season.

Murray would probably be the closest prospect / similar player in the system.

Greenway is going to get every opportunity to play thru whatever issues he's having. Coach loves him....

I agree, plus he cost us a 2nd. Hopefully he can regain his form from before the Shoulder Injury.

Sure, and Karmanos and Ventura have been here for what 3 of those years ?

We missed the playoffs by a point, have a prospect pipeline 90% of the league wishes they had, and cap space out the wazoo.

Not many teams have the flexibility and outlook the Sabres do.

Karmanos and Ventura are part of the reason why

On here it is. Think it would have helped more if we made the playoffs and seen for ourselves how this young team would react and what adjustments need to be made. Hey but Bonus Vibes for Getting Close!!!

Good point, the 2nd and 5th is gonna want management to give #12 a real shot.

I kinda like the idea of having some grit and size in the top 9. It's not just a 4th line thing IMO.

Playoff teams are rolling some tough lines....

Interesting list for St. Louis, not the first list I have seen Rasmus Andersson name included. If Calgary is thinking of moving him, Adams should be 1st in line.

Especially if Savoie is in the top 9, Greenway could help watch his back

I think the 1 point hype is relative to the past 12 years.

Add a phenom goalie and age the youngest team in the league 1 year.....

1 more point seems achievable and likely

Absolutely, all thses young guys, especially rookies need some big tough vets to fill in.

I really think greenway is a direct replacement for olofsson.

Team may give up 10 goals with #12 , but like you said, he adds needed protection

Appreciate the opinion, I would love a tough, gritty guy like Murray to replace okposo.

Okposo isnt on the Sabres for his skating though....

Hopefully Murray can break though, but with all the 1st round forwards ahead of him, it seams unlikely IMO.

Sabres already have a Jam upfront, of course these rookies most likely see top 9 time.

Thses playoffs probably have kyvyn and company 2nd guessing the okposo/ girgs press conference thoughts

- Boss34


Yeah this is the main issue. Savoie/Kulich are monsters, with Rousek, Rosen and Ostlund well on their way, it could be a numbers game. I hope that last line is correct, he's a fool if he doesn't it.

*** in a year where thanks to Boston and their historic season. It was the lowest point total to get in, in years.

usually you need around 100 to get in.

I think management extends mitts 5 x 5 ish.

They love him.

They also love levi.

Not sure if I see the Sabres giving up all that loot for a pending ufa in 1 season. Maybe that's me?
Bad asset management and levi could be better... even next season.

Probably a very fair trade though.

I could see upl being part of a vet goalie trade though for sure.

I have seen many prospects hyped over the years and most pan out to be a girgensons at best instead of a difference maker

What kind of goal differential does greenway need to bring next season to be a viable big man top 9 next season?

I really think he's a direct replacement for olofsson.

Does 18 goals for #12 with his size, sorta toughness and grit make more sense for 3 million vs olofsson's 4.75.

I'd take 10 goals less for some physical play and less streaky scoring.
We have the guys to replace olo on the pp....

I'd be happy with 18 /15 ish out ofgreenway, what's your expectations? ,

We all want the same thing, we just choose different paths to get there. The best thing about right know with the Sabres and Adams. He has the Assets to basically do what he wants. It just when he wants to use it
