Hope you all get the Sabre Beers 🍻

No interest at all. I would have considered Wallstadt in 2021. Also we've drafted a bunch of goalies. Ratzlaff, Leinonen, Meloche, that other one. Plus we have Ellis and Levi at 25 or under. This team desperately needs offense talent in the pipe.

This is cool

What? No, it can't be! I still hope to be wrong about him.

What would the vibes be if Buffalo had won on Wednesday. Sigh.

Oh... oh man, I've got bad news.

Omg, Dan and Rob are now talking about how good UPL was tonight. What r we doing here? Glad we won, UPL was fine, but it wasn't dominant by him imo.

Dan, bro, no one is buying your Bryson puck washing.

Chicago should pull the goalie

This game is drunk.

This team makes no sense.

You think Benson slid because what he does doesn't show up in videos or on stats?

The closest thing we have to this is Jarmo Kekäläinen

Terry Pegula's problem is the same problem an entire host of people have. The Dunning-Kruger effect. Terry doesn't understand as much about hockey as he thinks but since his understanding is so limited/bad he overestimates his abilities OVER AND OVER. This is compounded by the fact he is a billionaire and when you are that wealthy, you have a very important super power. If you don't like what someone tells you, you just fire them and get someone to confirm the reality you want to live in. It is why the super rich are so out of touch when it comes to just about everything. When they hear things they don't like, they change them or insulate themselves so they don't have to hear it anymore. Bill Gates (I think it is him) grew a giant hedge around his property in LA which is against the zoning or HOA whatever and guess what, he doesn't care because the 10k fine a month is nothing. He has so much money that he just forces reality to his will. Terry is the same, it is why he has vanished from the public side of the Sabres. It went down hill, he didn't like the scrutiny, so now he shows up during important times, gets to play owner and make decisions, then flies on back to Florida where he basks in the success of the money printing NFL team he owns and the soon to open fancy new stadium. He built a hedge around his Sabres ownership so he doesn't have to see or hear the "WTF!" that is coming from the fanbase.

Byram, I would look to Vancouver. I would try to get Chytil (yea I know he has a bad concussion history) and a 2nd round pick. I don't think you can get a ton more for Byram. If not Vancouver, than LA Kings would be an option. I would love to pry Liam Greentree from their cold dead hands (metaphorically) but I doubt Byram gets that done. Maybe Byram and one of the 400 RHD prospects (not Mrtka) can get you that. Outside of that, maybe they would part with Danault. Note that Danault has a modified NMC but that would be a player with TONS of experience that could help the team. Power for Carbonneau, Broberg, and a 3rd Byram, 3rd, and Kleber for Danault and Greentree (I am probably a bit light here for Buffalo)

Terry hires ppl that are like him. It's psychology.

If you move on from both, Mrtka probably ends up in Buffalo next season which I don't love. If possible, I'd like to see him go to Rochester for a year. I think you can replace Byram with Novikov on the 3rd pair. Ik there's skating concerns but Novikov is positional and tough. There's also ufa and lower end guys you could trade picks or prospects for. In the Power trade, I'd probably look for a team with good prospects, a decent nhl veteran lhd, and then build the trade around that. So maybe St. Louis and ask for Carbonneau, Broberg, and a 3rd or something.

They should move on from Byram because he's mediocre. They should move on from Power because he's passive. They should move on from both.

... I'm not used to getting proven right so quickly, so thxs I guess.
