How many times have the Sabres made the playoffs? Also, if by "a few" you mean 21, then sure.

They haven't come close to winning a cup. Thr gm has been very good - so now we are impressed that they have one more series win than we do? Isn't the goal to win a cup and not just collect a bunch of nice parts? Are there bonus points for for getting players from other teams?

Gotta make the playoffs to do that, and the bozo in charge here got his buddy's kid and a car dealer connect instead of some real fücking help.

I want so badly to be wrong about Adams, and I will gladly eat the world's largest egg with crow on my face. But so far? He ain't it.

He basically gave up the playoffs this year to get Levi signed!! This would be a surprise

This is exactly what the Sabres did, I think. Blew the playoffs to get one player to sign with them. I like Levi but that is idiocy.

A bit late to the party here but I can't understand signing both okposo and girgensons before free agency even starts. It's disappointing when it appears adams isn't even looking to upgrade the offense. Despite 1 year deals and the offense being a low concern level, that is two roster spots that are effectively gone for replacement level players.

Im not sold on Krebs and if Greenway is a bust here this looks even worse. Teams in cap trouble needing to dump players and we should have been looking to upgrade the bottom 6, or perhaps a top 6 winger for cozens. Its time for this team to make moves that push people down the depth chart.

Adams 100% must make an impact on the defense. Get someone in here that moves people down the depth chart.

Goaltending wasn't addressed properly last year and it cost us a playoff spot. Waiting on levi failed in the short term and expecting him to save us is still not the answer IMO. Adams should have attempted to find a bandaid last year and absolutely must get a competent NHL goalie capable of playing 40 games this offseason.

There is plenty of time, I havent been this excited for an offseason maybe ever but my concern is clear and valid. Expectations are real and deserved. Adams shouldn't get a pass for missing the playoffs with the 3rd highest scoring team in the league.

He shouldn't get a pass for handcuffing himself with two 4th line forwards before the party even started

Levi and 6K is perfect tandem. No reason to waste money there. Crystal clear.

You don't actually believe that garbage do you?

Is this the ultimate in gas lighting? Politics were never even mentioned on here once until meltdown mike, big baaa bossman, Fitz and you talked about trump and Covid every day on here, repeating everything the tv told you to repeat, like good little cult members. It's weird how obsessed you guys are.

And then you play the victim 😂😂😂. Pretty unbelievable. It's why 75 million people vote for Trump. Not because they like him it's because they realize how vile you people are

Oh my!!

Well Boy's and Girls, about 12 hrs to the Draft. What you got going on, give me some ideas and players that can be taken or trades that you might like with the pick ?
Players I would like:
1- Simashev
2-Willander: With the right Development, might turn out to be the best Defenseman in the draft.
3- Benson,Perrault,Wood
Trades: Now I am not a big fan of Hanifin, not very good defensively. But he does check some boxes.
Calgary- 13th 39th Ostlund
Buffalo- 16th Hanifin
Winnipeg- 13th and LA's 3rd
Buffalo- 18 and DeMelo
Only player I see them trading up for is the Russian or maybe Reinbacher. But think it's gonna be a bit more expensive to get into the top 7 or 8 spots in this draft.

Or they go after Cernak and make Tampa a offer They Can't Refuse. Already got the Fish wrapped in a Brown paper bag!!😇😇

No interest in giving up that much for Hanifin.

I would tend to agree, I would rather go after Tanev. Just going off things I have seen and heard.

Think we say Bye Bye to Victor Olofsson today.

Dude, they finished a few points ahead of us last year. Neither have sniffed a cup.
- Slump Buster

They finished way ahead of us and won a playoff round after drafting #1 overall recently and hiring their GM the same year

They’ve acquired a boatload of NHL talent.

And guess what? They didn’t have to trade a Jack Eichel or Sam Reinhart to get it

Barlow, Simashev, Musty, Benson, Moore, ASP. Those are my guesses.

Think we say Bye Bye to Victor Olofsson today.

I was told 30-40% chance it happens this week.

A couple of interesting trade ideas.

It's quite a ways to drop in the draft on that first Avalanche trade, but picking up 2 more picks, including an additional first, is enticing.

>>>One of my favorite scenarios is to trade back with Colorado for the two picks they got from Montreal and their own first-round draft pick, and then pick Andrew Cristall, Gavin Brindley, and Gracyn Sawchyn. Never going to happen, but I’d be in.

>>>Buffalo trades UPL+45th overall to Colorado for the 27th overall pick and a 2025 3rd. Buffalo selects Andrew Cristall/Gavin Brindley. Just, please gods above, make it happen.
