I'd give him until the next trade deadline. If he hasn't shown improvement, trade him for someone else's project of a draft pick.

Fired up Claude is kinda hot.

Unless we see significant progress from Mitts soon, I'm betting he gets dealt before the expansion draft.

What's a "news paper"?

Without hesitation

Sabres fans will freak out if they draft a dman. Everyone sees a need a forward and will assume if we draft one at 8, he will be ready for NHL duty immediately. Even though the last 3 players they drafted at that spot needed significant time in the A.

What is a BTG?

He's a first overall generational talent. If you weren't the least bit hopeful that Dahlin's arrival would signify a marked improvement on the ice, you are either psychic, omnipotent or dead inside. ?

Most posters are aware of my mixed feelings on Dahlin. It just kinda sucks that a first overall pick doesn't necessarily mean overnight success. We were all waiting with bated breath for him to hit the ice and all of a sudden the Sabres would be great. It's just not how hockey works. Instead we have to rely on analytics and sublime play. He's great. He'll get better. I can't wait to see it.

Not that it means a heck of a lot but Tage looked a lot closer to Olofsson in Rochester than any prospect of recent memory. Dominant. Mittlestadt looked like Nylander. Thompson may never become much but if my life depending on one of these guys making it, Tage is gonna be my guy. I see the on ice desire and passion from Tage (wish he'd be more physical but I digress)

This sounds all too likely.

Reminds me of the old prophecy, "no disrespect" (someone's about to get seriously disrespected).

Which begs the question, Why has he gone largely ignored or misused?

It's amazing that this post needs to happen in every thread with the words trade or rumor in it.

As much as they bother some people, I usually really enjoy their drafts. I usually wish they would go longer. On a side note, it really exposed what a weirdo Schopp is. He seems really uniformed on most things. Like he's so busy with fantasy and stratomatic that he barely pays attention to life.

Cracking on the AHL staff for not developing anyone is laughable. Who the ***** did they have to develop? Olofsson turned out fine. Borgen is on track. Aslpund is doing well. Nylander? A half hearted benefactor of nepotism that was drafted about 20 spots too high. I saw someone mention Tage Thompson. He, of a grand total of 24 games with the Amerks, put up 21 points in those games, looking absolutely dominant. The cupboard's are bare. There hasn't been anyone to develop as they are already NHL players or are never gonna be NHL players.

Frankly, the content we get from Yerden, Yost and Chad I'm not even going to try to spell his last name far surpasses anything Paul has done recently. If you need a "voice" for Sabres reporting, Marty Biron is absolutely worth a listen. His interview with Cozens was 1000% more in depth than anything I've heard come out of Hamilton's mouth.

They ain't gonna pay fools who ain't working. Or can't.

They got two third liners and a second pair defenseman. Yuck.

Best two guitar solos of all time. Same band. Same song. Same guy. No one can convince me differently.

Do we know the timing of said deals? Pre-pandemic?

Very well paid front office personnel do

To answer the OP, no the Pegulas should not seek any assistance from the league. It's run by buffoons. As far as the on going Kim Pegula doesn't know anything or isn't qualified, she can sit on this teams face, ride it into the sun yelling "Who Else?!?" for all I care. She's made decisions in her life to get herself into this position, go suck an egg if it bothers you.
