What you're saying doesn't follow. We're in the Atlantic. We play the Habs, Ott and Detroit more than the metro teams
- jcragcrumple

No poop. You’ll benefit from the weak division but I doubt it’s enough to win the wildcard spot.
There’s just too many teams that were significantly better than the Sabres last season to leapfrog. It’s possible but highly unlikely. I think they are for sure better than Ottawa but almost every other team has a better defence if not a deeper forward core.

Gotta let us have a little excitement. I think most here would put us around 85 points, but if a lot of things go right and things click sooner than we should really expect, anything is possible.

Your roster has enough talent that if everything goes right and the rookies exceed expectations, you don’t get bit by the injury bug and you get solid goaltending you could make it.

I think that's how most people here feel. Next year, the expectation becomes the playoffs. This year is about progress and development. If it clicks sooner than expected, that'd be fun too.

The Bills had more passing yards in the first half tonight than in 13 games last season.

They also threw the ball more times in the first half than in 13 games last season, combined.

It would be nice, I just think that was the way to get a lot of tape on the guys tonight, and we'll see more running as we go.

And the French!

When i hear morons mock the French for being “puss!es”
I like to remind them that we’d have lost the Revolutionary War if they didn’t help us out vs England

We also might not have Skinner if he was still here so I don’t think it’s safe to say we’d be any better
- sbroads24


Why’s that?

We still would’ve needed a scoring winger
Skinner still would’ve been available

Sure, but Berglund and Sobotka are two seperate, trade able contracts.

O'Reilly was a bad year, injury one year older away from being a hard contract to move.

Edit- They also take up an additional roster spot that you would need to allocate $$ to.

So they did save money by adding 2 roster players for 1

- sbroads24


But right now we have “extras” so someone being sent down or traded would alleviate that issue

And the amount of $$$ is minimal


And having Sam & Skinner & O’Reilly long term is more than doable


I obviously can’t say for 100% certain...
but i think your arguments are unfounded
