Absolutely have to lose the last 2 and get in top 5. I also want them to enter offseason on a low to show how terrible they still are.

Ugh, it’s just so pathetic and sad

Thank God it’s almost over. Hopefully good hockey during playoffs

Unfortunately, it's a terribly run organization from top to bottom, so winning the Cup just isn't a reality for me. I just want to enjoy a full season for once in 15 years.

14 years of missing the playoffs, I am totally fine if their goal is 8 seed next year. Just give me a freaking reason to be interested after the month of December. This organization is never winning the Cup.

Because I would rather have UPL shake whatever hell he is in right now and not wait until it matters in October. They absolutely cannot gamble with goalies anymore or it's gonna be 15 years.

Now that they are officially eliminated, they will play their best game of the year. Is it safe to put UPL in now that it's over? There is ZERO point in playing the 38 year old backup anymore. And I am sure other fanbases around the league would say Buffalo would be the first to be cut out of the NHL.

March and April are never the time to judge bad hockey teams. When October hits and teams need to get off to a fast start, Buffalo will be facing starting goalies, intensity will be higher, and our true colors will be revealed once again. These guys need to figure out what changes need to be done in order to survive the first half of the season while sticking in the top 8. Florida, Toronto and Tampa will obviously be above them next year so once again, their goal has to be the 7/8 seed.

They absolutely have to buy UPL out. He is one of the worst backup goaltenders in the league, and our idiot GM signed him to a five-year deal. Out of all the dumbest things that he has done, this might top them all.

What I MEANT to say was…

Reimer gets pulled after 3-0 start. Buffalo almost ties it down by one with UPL in net

At least he is not under contract for another 4 years at almost 5 millions per year, that would have REALLY been bad.

All it takes is one injury for this team to fly off the rails and end the season.

List every player that has had an amazing March and April and etch those names in stone next year to slump from October - January. It is the Sabres right of passage that never carries over to the following year.

I agree but where are they getting a #1 center in the summer? Their only hope is upgrading goaltending and defense if they want to have next season mean anything beyond January.

So Josh Norris will be our #1/#2 center next year? I assume Östlund will be in Rochester, and then the other bolded players below will be replaced? Maybe Krebs has a spot, which is fine, but the hope will be have to be in the form of UPGRADES on the others bolded, especially the 2 Dmen. The big question will be goaltending because you know they are going to roll UPL out again. That would be 4-5 new players, none of which are in the top 6. Are people fine with just upgrades on the bottom 6 and D? I still think there HAS to be a a big move for one player on the top 6. Zach Benson -- Jiri Kulich -- Tage Thompson JJ Peterka -- Ryan McLeod -- Jack Quinn Jason Zucker -- Peyton Krebs -- Alex Tuch Beck Malenstyn – Noah Östlund -- Sam Lafferty Mattias Samuelsson -- Rasmus Dahlin Owen Power -- Jacob Bernard-Docker Bowen Byram -- Connor Clifton Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen James Reimer

UPL 🤣

No approval from me until they actually play meaningful games next March

I want Tampa so there is a chance of Toronto and Ottawa in the first tound

They traded away their top talent at the deadline, along with many other moves, dropped like a stone after realizing a miraculous run to 8th was not worth it (and probably was not going to happen.) I don't see how that is luck, it's an organization pulling the plug at the exact right time.

Bruins make playoffs for 100 years in a row, tank for one year and will draft their future #1 center. must be nice to have a an organization that operates like a well oiled machine.

I am not expecting Levi to even be on the big club next year. Maybe he gets a few games here and there but if they are relying on him as the starter, it's gonna be 16 years of no playoffs, or whatever the number is.

Just add one more absolutely AWFUL contract to Adams failures. 4 more years at 4,750,000 per year. I don't even want this guy as a backup, so how in the world can they trade him? Are they allowed to pay him that to play in Rochester? I am guessing that Levi is the starter in Rochester next year in hopes that he can make the team eventually. Ideally, they trade for a true #1 and have Reimer/Levi as a backup. I don't see anything on the free agent list so there absolutely HAS to be a trade for a true #1. Buffalo has the prospects and draft position to make this happen. What team has a legit #1 that is still a couple years away from making the playoffs?

Trade a top prospect, and your first rounder this year for a # 1 goalie on a team that is still a couple years away. How in the world can someone be a GM of an NHL team and not realize you HAVE to have good goaltending to even have a chance at competing. GO GET A FREAKING GOALIE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Benched UPL 2 months too late, oh well
