I went to the Jays/Guardians game in Cleveland a week or so ago

I was just thinking this.... How bout that Chad? ... Sometimes the rumor mill gets to be just too much after the cup is won.

Ooof to that contract... Nope.. Pass Plus, I'm not sure he's a #1 center at this point, that cliff can come hard

I keep refreshing each day to see if there is a new thread or something breaking, alas, nada. I don't follow the off-season as closely but I think most of the impact players are now gone no? Aside from a trade at this point, this is what we're coming into the season with... Not sure this gets us where we need to be.

We went from ROR/eichel/Sammy To Maybe Norris for the 6 games he's healthy Possibly Kulich McLeod (who I like.... As a 3C) Tage (who isn't a center) Krebs (ha) And we've spent the off season shoring up role players and RHD and a career backup goalie. So NO, a F'n resounding NO, this team is not better than last year. I'd say right now we finish within 5 points +/- of where we finished last year.

Wasn't the Jarmo advisor role supposed to sorta help us for weeks like this? I feel like I've almost forgotten that he is part of the organ-eye-zation because the moves made seem like typical KA moves of years past. Maybe KA is so bad that no advisor in hockey can bring enough clout to help.

I think he just jingled keys in front of him for like 35 minutes.. Then it was time for juice and a nap. After Terry woke up, he had a nice cold glass of Ovaltine and KA started pulling the lever on his speak and spell, that's how he acquired all this talent.

In yo face 😛😂 I know Mogilny defected to the US... But has anyone defected to Siberia to avoid buffalo 😂 Berglund comes to mind.

I predict a new animal, Sabres cat perhaps... We can call is Sabre-puss... It encapsulates the leaders and the mantra of the team. Here puss puss puss

It's somewhat amazing he became a billionaire. Those types are typically ruthless, calculating and very smart (at least in a business sense) Pegula is the exact opposite, he got lucky, got rich and is a timid (but still arrogant) passive dweeb. I suppose when you're worth billions, you can do and say what you want, but his whole schitck has run dry. Get up in front of the microphone and just own it man, you're still a billionaire irregardless. At least Golisano owned it, I don't have any respect for sir Terrance. The sabres broadcast does still seem like it's on old school Adelphia, not sure how to make it better... Maybe subliminal messages of "we want fans that want to be here" maybe that'll work.

I have fingers (and toes) crossed that Adams and Jarmo are setting up something big. Clearing salary for a Robertson or Petterson or something BIG. All of this salary clearing here HAS to lead to something....sure we got "tougher to play against" but all I heard last off season was our revamped 4th line was going to be tough as nails and that panned out exactly 0%. So as of right now, we are a basement team with an older coach (who may or may not be good) and a very poor reputation. Still some time..... This is as much optimistic energy as I can muster.

Meh, still not enough for this team to get over the hump. I'll keep waiting patiently and hope to not be disappointed.

Wgr was mentioning that if they don't buy him out this year, then it gets wayyy worse if they decide to after. This year is almost a slam dunk to get rid of him for peanuts. Seems like a missed opportunity to get out from a mistake if they don't I guess that is what has been frustrating, mistakes happen but this regime seems unable to recognize one was made and the subsequently learn from said mistake.

Meh, the sabres can do almost anything and it's hard to find emotion. We have a dimwit at the helm...maybe he makes a few good trades, probably makes many bad ones. Sabres tickets will remain super cheap and some fans will show up. Were stuck, stuck in Hades, have no coin for the ferryman to cross and just wallow in this space of hockey.
