UPL + Bryson on Sunday. Who needs offseason upgrades?
- Lunaion

Ask the Rainbow Warriors on here, I have been pretty vocal on upgrades. Basically been told to be patient 1 more year for the last 3 years.

He was when he won Rookie of the month, what goalie has looked good with this team in front of them most games.

Any goalie coached by Irbe

That hurts my brain

This team is stuck in 3rd gear bouncing off the rev limiter until t pegs sells… won’t ever be better than third gear

Shocking news:

Buffalo’s Connor Clifton will have a hearing Saturday for an Illegal Check to the Head on New Jersey’s Nico Hischier.

Granato's reaction to being asked about the goaltending situation in the post game was essentially a you've got to be (frank)ing kidding me look.

Don the post game whisperer.

If he talks like that to the boys pregame, it makes sense they come out flat.

3-5

Where are all those Haterzzzzz now? Told ya we did enough this offseason.

I think Colorado is going to forfeit on Sunday, gas is super expensive for planes and Joe Sakic is very jealous of Adams off season.

Minimally, you'd have to think Benson and Savoie will both be ready for full time NHL duty next season.

With Tage, Greenway, Cozens, Mittelstadt, Skinner and Tuch, you have 6 of your long term top 9.

Peterka and Quinn make up two more of your top 9, logically, right?

Where do Benson and Savoie fit in?

Do you move Greenway to the 4th line, do to the overall amount of forward talent, and to make room in the top 9, even if his play does not merit that demotion?

That's not even considering one or both of Kulich and Rosen will likely be ready by next season as well.

Do they create a very untraditional 4th line, and go with 4 lines of attacking, aggressive offensive skill?

Can't remember the last time an NHL did that.

Every UPL goal he let in. has a valid excuse on why it wasn’t his fault
- Sabretooth9

Agreed.

There comes a time in your life when you should weed between the lines. At this time it's become apparent that Al Cohol isn't the right GM for this team. Time for one more, another then the last one before I get help.

If they are not going to play team defense, may as well hammer down and go full 4 line offense

I still think you need to send someone out to add to the defense or the net, the question is who?

I’ve liked both mitts and greenway recently

Is krebs the odd man out?
Does Adam’s bring back Kyle and grigs?

And how did we go from 3 goalies to 1 in 7 games? Does Commrie get the “can’t stay healthy” tag.

Upl / Levi is probably not going to be great, but I think everyone but Adam’s saw that.

Did we get outshot in that final period 18-4?

It’s more than just this game. He’s not an NHL Goalie.

It’s a fact

Remember this when he's picked up by TB or Colorado...you wanted him gone.

I really don't know how Adams is going to do it, with everyone he has locked up. They have to many to even run a non traditional 4th line. What about Kozak and Biro to. I have been saying for over a year Decisions will need to be made quicker, you can only slow play for so long until you back yourself into a corner and that looks like it could happen sooner than a lot expected.

A winning team has roles, the coach should use the player that best fills the role.

1) What players on the Sabres fill what roles?

2) What roles are available?

3) Are any of the prospects an improvement to existing players in filled roles?


As for the bolded, I could see that becoming a regular season success but get destroyed come playoff time.

Still think you could roll a 4th line of Rosen Kozak Rousek and bring Defense and more offense from your 4th line.

You're not going to like this, but the role of all the forwards could be to run the opposing team out of the building, nightly.

Will it work when the physicality ramps up?

That is very much TBD.
