Based on what? In September 2020, Jake Allen was traded to Montreal for a third-rounder and two sevenths. At the 2020 deadline, Robin Lehner was sent to Vegas for Malcolm Subban, a prospect and a second-round pick. And just a couple of weeks before that deadline, the Leafs picked up Jack Campbell (and Kyle Clifford) for Trevor Moore and a couple of third-rounders. Alex Nedeljkovic, a 25-year-old at the time coming off a Calder finalist season, returned only Jonathan Bernier and a third-rounder to Carolina. Darcy Kuemper trade to Colorado, they gave up Conor Timmins and a first-round pick. Why is everyone thinking the Sabres would have to give up a 1st and two high prospects for Hart or Demko or even Saros?

Yes, but how good would he be on the Sabres right now? Would you trade Levi for him straight up?

My question is…how good is Swayman if he’s on a team not named the Bruins? If he was currently playing for a team like the Sabres that do not know how to play team defense and give up lots of odd man rushes, breakaways, and 2 on 0’s? I honestly haven’t seen enough of him to have an opinion. When some people here had pitchforks out for Ullmark, I pointed out that he was a good G on a bad team, and would look excellent on a team like Boston. Prophecy fulfilled. I feel similarly about UPL. I think he’s a good G who will look a LOT better if/when the Sabres learn to play team defense, or when he ends up with a different team that does. I know there’s some detractors on here when it comes to UPL, but I feel he is better than you think. It seems like there are people on here who can’t see the forest for the trees. Expecting a Comrie or Hart or Demko or insert-any-name to walk onto this roster and play like Hasek is unreasonable, until the team learns to consistently play team defense.

Should be fun seeing the Laffs building 80% full of people wearing Sabres jerseys.

I need some of whatever you’ve been partaking in.

STILL not an excuse. 🤷‍♂️

Not an excuse. The Isles looked fine without Barzal and Pageau the other night.

We have seen how well the Sabres seem to score goals with UPL in net. Maybe after that 7th goal, they put UPL in, and they make a miraculous comeback. Now we will never know.

I’ve seen other goalies pulled after the 7th, 8th goals, yes. This is the type of thing that led to Roy telling the Habs he would never play for them again. With any luck, Comrie told the Sabres the same thing tonight.

I would’ve pulled Comrie after the 1st. Then again, I’m not an NHL head coach, so what do I know.

Lidstrom didn’t win the Norris until he was 31, so Rasmus has plenty of time.

Maybe they should wear the black jerseys for home games.

Eff Toronto. How are you going to overturn that kicked in goal in a tie game like that. BRUTAL

He was, because he got high sticked and there was no call.

LETS GO SPACERS!!! BIG GAME TONIGHT!!!!!

I watch all of the games through a free stream and cast it to my TV. I got really sick of the “guess which service the game is on and you don’t have” game. I was using FuboTV for a few years, but they kept jacking the prices, and didn’t even have all of the games. Is it on MSG? Hulu? ESPN? TNT? Netflix? Disney+? I have no idea, but I always know where I can reliably find the game every time now, and not for $15, $65, or $250 a month.

I predict that if Big Rig gets into a fight, so does Krebs.

And yet, Tom Brady is moving into broadcasting whenever he is done sucking at football.

Most of the fans seemed to really like him a lot, but also weren’t terribly disappointed in losing him, either. Which is interesting.

Just spent a short time reading Wild fans comments about him. Apparently, his nickname is Big Rig.

Eric Lindros.

It’s not Buffalo, but my favorite Beef on Weck is found at Pok A Dot in Batavia. Amazing prices there, too.

This was a huge missed opportunity, especially after seeing what little it took for him to be acquired by a rival.

Wow.

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. I’ve felt what he was feeling in that moment so many times.
