Granato gone by Christmas.

Really missing the Peterka, Cozens, Quinn line.

Just tuned in on ESPN...lots of empty seats.

Hope he catches fire offensively so we can trade him? This makes no sense. If he doesn't "catch fire", how many losses does it contribute to in the process? Forget about what he's worth in a trade; that ship sailed last year, if it was ever afloat. If he's not getting it done, put him in the press box or on waivers. We have no time for this! Twelve years and counting,...thirteen is inexcusable.

Good point, but I liked his quickness and hustle in preseason. I already know I'm not getting that from Olofsson. He has never shown a 200 ft. game.

I would have rather kept Kulich.

Welcome! Surely, I thought your one word title was going to be a rant against KA. A bitching Sabres fan is a happy Sabres fan.

Come on, man! Corn Pop couldn't have done a better job than Meatballs.

If the Sabres are sub.500 by the end of December, I think Granato will be gone. I know many think the "sky is falling" reactions on this opening GDT are overreactive, but I think it's a pretty good barometer. KA said it himself: it's now time to meet, or exceed, expectations.

Me too. I highly value your GDT takes.

I feel your pain.

It could be more a sign of the economic times, what with food price inflation, energy cost inflation, tuition costs, rental and house price inflation, and prohibitively high interest rates. Discretionary income available for leisure and entertainment is near the bottom when it comes to a household economic hierarchy of needs. Sure, the Bills can sell out, but that's only eight dates in a year.

You're right, but in a year where Adams and Granato are proclaiming it's time to meet or exceed expectations, on-iice downside far outweighs off-ice expectations; the future is now.

I think he could take Olofsson's spot right now with only upside and no downside

Just from what I've seen tonight, I would be completely happy with Benson and Kulich making this team on opening night. And Levi looks lights out!

I agree. I certainly wouldn't make light of any serious medical condition.

I don't have a problem with it.

Kulich and Benson showing some quick sticks and hustle.

I have the game on NESN+. I swear Jack Edwards has had several cocktails.

I'd love to see Cozens centering Savoie and Benson,...high energy.

"Top shelf,...where mama hides the cookies!" Rest In Peace, Rick

I can envision Cozens centering between Benson and Savoie. Adds size, but preserves complimentary speed, skill, and grit.

These guys are fun to watch! Thanks LGR4GM for posting!

Achilles recovery is tough. Hope it's not like the NFL, where full recovery seems to be two seasons.

Not to be disputatious, but when have any of the players you list won NHL playoff hockey?
