So if the Sabres don't have a great record in November, do we chalk it up to the fact it was an unfair test and therefore we need to see how they do in December

Of course! It’s not fair we’re in a division with the Leafs, Bruins, and Lightning! And that we’re most likely no better than the Habs and Panthers.

This skid is certainly putting Kroogs’ early magic to the test, and so far it’s not been good. A turnaround will have to come from within. I wouldn’t count on Botts making a big move at this point.

Or maybe it’s all another “stealth tank”. I hear there are good players in this next draft.

1. Moves have to be made since we have waaaaaaaay to many D. This is a given

2. If you have to make moves you might as well go big. I think it has to be either 55 or 19 with Scandella going in a smaller deal.

I agree, aside for McCabe.

Not sure why they would name him a captain then trade him?

Probably the same reason 55 isnt a captain.

Could have gotten Fabbri on the cheap, a injury history, but goes out and scores 2 goals for Detroit. Botts needs to get his ass in gear
- Buff36

We've all seen guys who get traded that blow it out of the water in their first game and then you never hear from them again.

Ok. I guess we’ll all wait for these inevitable deals to go through. Then we’ll see if the team gets any better.

Robbi Fabbri, who was traded straight up for a guy who’s worse than Girgensons scored 2 goals last night for Detroit.

Nah, we’re too good to take fliers on guys with good talent
- sbroads24

Let's see where Fabbri ends up before we roast the GM.

As a JB supporter I’ll say this -

If he moves D men and doesn’t find a way to get a top 9 forward back he should be fired

joker made an astoundingly bad play that resulted in a goal against, but please dont let that erase all the good he has done all year
- robz228

I’m not but he and Pilut should both get a look. Split some time

trade mccabe plus for zajac

call up tage

- homiedclown

Exactly. It can be done and we can salvage the season. We are 2 moves away from being competitive, not forcing players in to roles above their pay grade

Call Edmonton
Puljujarvi and Kassian or Chiasson
for
ERod and Bryson and a 4th. Add Remi if they insist.

This is true and Fabbri is an absolute eggshell. He will be out for the season by Jan1

Raise his value perhaps? Wearing an A could make him seem more valuable to another team.

I think his low cap number and age will be attractive to other teams. He's a 5-6 on a cup-contending team. I've really got nothing else to trade that I want to trade.

Maybe they should slap the C and both A's on Risto then

you typed mccabe, e rod and thompson wrong

Mittelstadt on the wing with Johansson Vesey.

Erod centers skinner sherry.

I don’t get the love affair with ERod

I lie mitts on the wing. He is NOT a center. ERod not worth poop. Would have been nice to see Tage get a shot

Isn’t Tage in Rochester?

That’s a handsome lady singing the anthem.

Changing positions isn't some kind of magic fix.

Not sure what it will take for people to cool on ERod, but somehow we're not there yet.

- Gr8daygo

Yes, travel with the team I meant

Well, let's see our physical beast, the guy we can't live without actually delivers some bone rushing hits on Kucherov. Every reason to expect it...amp his team up, he hates Russians, and Kuch is owed it.
Start it early, on the 1st shift annihilate him!

When he’s getting us 25 goals a year in Rochester I’ll cool on him

Beautiful pass by Vesey. I’m liking this line so far
