Great signing.


I know this is going to be obvious.


But if the Allen prior to the packers game shows up. We win a Super Bowl.

If the allen post mid packers / jets game shows up. We will have issues.


Team is set up pretty darn good. It’s all on allen (which in football is always the case anyways)

It's not a great signing, unless Fattony and Lunaion say it is, because Beane isn't a good GM.

Ostlund is another year in europe and then 2 years in rochester.

Savoie is another year in junions and 1 in rochester.

Kulich will prob be first call up next year. So full time spot in another year.

Gotta make a decision on Rosen soon i think….

- ZiggyBuff


not a bad guess here. As for Rosen, I think he's got one more full year in Rochester. He's developing really well. Appert and his squad has been excellent.

I hope Kisakov's game starts to grow.

Do you think Johnson spends time in Rochester next year or is assumed a spot in Buffalo?
- washedup20


I think he's in the Kulich boat. The two of them will battle for a spot in Buffalo in training camp but I don't think they'll be assumed to make it like JJ/JQ were.

Leonard Floyd was Greg Tompsett's (Cover 1) #2 choice, behind Ngakoue. I'd say we did good here.

It's funny to me to see Ingram, Clark, Ngakoue, Houston and Dupree without jobs yet. When did the league stop valuing veteran DEs?

I'm ready to face the absolute onslaught of takes for supporting Rosen.

I’ve already said his improvement over the back half of this season has been great, it has brought him back from total bust territory to 14OA status (or at least close).

I still see no future for him in Buffalo except as a filler for a injured top 6 player, you can’t have 2 players that add up to 200lbs total playing bottom 6 roles in Krebs and Rosen.

I wouldn't mind bringing Ngakoue in on a one year deal.

All three of them parlayed an excellent playoff, bottom 6 performance into gross contracts
- TheSabresTaco


I looked at them as heavy culture additions to round out a teams forward core, like another poster said.

Overpaying for those types is scary stuff.

There’s really people who think Beane stinks and simultaneously think the 12 year drought team is doing a fantastic job

way too early to make that assumption. he's a developing elite offensive player. unfortunately his size makes him a longer term project. adams knew it. he'll be an effective top 6 guy. just might take a little longer.

imo.

Krebs was noticeably bigger after last offseason.

Saw in person how hard he worked before games (he was the only one working as hard as Dahlin).

I suspect you'll see similar gains when we see Krebs at training camp this fall.

If we get the Ngakoue circa 2017 from the "Sacksonville" days, then yes.

Krebs with Kulich could be a lethal third line. Put a guy like Killorn on the other side and that line will shred.

That would be something for a 16th overall pick to not get a sniff of an NHL roster until the 5th season after he's been drafted.

Jamie Benn is a douche bag of a player. Plays dirty. He cross-checked Larkin in the neck a two seasons ago injuring him for half the season. He didn't even get a slap on the wrist. So happy to see his team knocked out of the playoffs.

Ty Dellandrea, 13th, 2018, first NHL season 22-23
Grigori Denisenko, 15th, 2018, first NHL season 22-23
Cam York, 14th, 2019, split past 2 seasons, still no full NHL season
Thomas Harley, 18th, 2019, split a season in NHL, still no full NHL season

It happens. Sometimes these guys take 3-4 years.

It’s weird that people hate on Krebs. The Sabres had such good depth that we had to bench a 30 goal scorer (olofsson) and had to play Krebs on the 4th line to keep him in the nhl

Krebs is a playmaker …. It’s hard to build up points with Okposo and girgensons on your wings.

He also has been working with a skills coach. The YouTube algorithm suggested me a Krebs video of his off ice training with a skills coach. Good stuff.

He will be okay. I promise lol
