Clifton is going to be the #4 in Buffalo.

There's the Detroit news we've been waiting on, curious to see the cost.

It's criminal how many ppl here and nationally fail to recognize the absolute wagon that is Dahlin. Without Krueger the Barftastic, Dahlin already would have a Norris. His rookie year was generational.

What if, and hear me out first, we found a DeLorean with a Flux capacitor?

How many games did he win where the Sabres scored 3 or less goals? What about 4 or less?

Charity wager then?

Ok on to the rest. Detroit traded bertuzzi and hronek at the deadline, that's not much of a teardown or dismantle. I guess Sundqvist counts in that too but not much dismantling. Detroit has a limited offense and a questionable defense. Their goaltending is, idk maybe better than ours but I like Levi. So for me, the question is does Buffalo's improved d and g make them better or worse than Detroit's ufa hole filling shopping spree. They'll add Kasper and Edvinsson this year too. I think yes because there's just more firepower in Buffalo. Granato is right, it's harder to teach offense. This team that Buffalo has is taking another step.

Im not sure you could waive Bryson and get a team to take him. Teams don't want short mediocre defenders with limited offensive ability.

Where do I say that? Seems very unlike me to label him small.

Other than Skinner, do we know if anyone had an actual career year though? It's not negative, I just think at the ages we have I'm not sure anyone had their career year yet. Maybe.

Novikov is already better than Bryson In my book.

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere.

Here's a thought, maybe Buffalo will be better? You know maybe the youngest team in the league last year will be better. Also I love you discounting Clifton as a 2nd pairing defender even though he played about 20 games in that role for Boston. Figured as a Boston guy you'd like connor.

Which player, be specific, do you expect to have a significant drop in scoring from last year?

We'll be in the playoffs next year.

Yea and last year you thought Detroit would be better than us too. Things that aren't true for 1,000 Alex.

What a terrible idea. I stopped reading after Levi plays in Rochester.

Leinonen struggled because he's too big and not athletic enough to be an Liiga goalie let alone NHL. He's got no shot in hell of doing *****.

No.

You know what I could not give a rat fart about? Whether or not the media or you or anyone thinks we made some big "headline grabbing" move. I remember how when the Sabres signed top 10 scorer Tage Thompson to an insanely good deal, that should have grabbed headlines, but it was met with little laughs around the nhl because his shot% wasn't that high and he was a one year wonder. So again, I don't need a headline move, I need smart moves.

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is a ***** goalie named Gibson who doesn't belong.

Last year everyone outside of Buffalo and a chunk of fans here, saw the Redwings sign all these ufas and Yzerman is Jesus and omg the Redwings are gonna be in the playoffs race etc... that didn't happen. Making moves to make moves or in the Wings case, because they literally have no one to fill them, doesn't just make you better. Power, Cozens, Dahlin, Peterka, and Krebs at the minimum will be better than last year because they've all grown a year through experience, are young, and are driven with skill. Levi is simply better than UPL. Clifton and E. Johnson are better than clague, Bryson, Fitzgerald and Pilut who all had to play multiple games for us. The Sabres are a better than last year. What that means in season, we will have to wait to see.

I think we see a massive rebound from Comrie
