67 games played, 15 left, 24-33-10 currently. That means we'd have to go 11-2-2, 12-3, or some other similar combination. I don't think it's likely but maybe instead...how close can we get?

Yeah I can't say for certain. Definitely doesn't help that big investment firms are buying single family homes to use as rentals now either.

Building cheaper is probable simply because the cost of materials is so high right now.

Ton of young guys and bad d-men could be it.

To the playoffs and deep into them are quite different. Granato is certainly capable of having a talented Sabres team be better than half the league.

I don't think this team is as close/resilient if Eichel is here, no. And with that I don't think the confidence and growth you see in Dahlin exists either. Eichel is a phenomenal player but the stench of losing and turmoil in Buffalo for so long was stapled to him and the only way to shed it was move him.

Probably. But is Levi willing to go back to NE and wait another year for the NHL? At least if he goes to the AHL he takes the next step in his career; better competition, opportunity for the NHL, closer to a large contract, gets to make some money. I just don't see why he'd go back when's he's clearly outgrown the college level and to a NE team that may be good but isn't going to win it all.

Pfft try 90k, I'm living right next to Golisano

I cannot wait to get Levi, Power, Peterka, and Quinn up here. Not too mention all of the other prospects we have to fill in the gaps that are doing great right now

Yeah pretty much right in the heart of the city, if you're looking out that way hopefully you won't have as bad as a market. We did have to go over asking though and wave the inspection too; got very lucky though first one we put an offer in on actually. Hopefully you guys find some similar luck 🍻

House down the street from me just went for 60k over asking lol

Well they did eventually acknowledge the game...showed the Thompson goal with zero mention of the comeback or anything else lol what a joke

Probably won't. Was hoping we'd get on with this game but guess not

ESPN just showed the Toews goal on the top 10 and ended it with 'Blackhawks would go on to win'...

What a win for the young guys. This is huge for them

Yeah he's definitely gonna need some time to develop. Thankfully he shouldn't have the rough transition Dahlin was forced into i.e. team and coaching dynamics

Maybe. I see him as a 1-2C personally

Pretty cool path overall

Makes sense, and yeah I tend to agree. Feels good to actually be watching them again🍻

Makes sense and is probably the case. With Thompson surpassing all expectations and Cozens there Krebs foreseeable future seems 2nd line wing or 3rd line center though

I'm not a fan of it either but otherwise one of Dahlin/Power/Mattias flip to the right Right, sure we can. But my point is Samuelson seems wasted on the 3rd pairing, so what do we do with him? Do we just use him there or try and leverage what could be a 1-2 line pairing d-man to fill another area of need

Obviously not a given but Dahlin/Power gotta figure they trump Mattias

I'd rather not trade any of them but so far Sameulson is the odd man out and he seems better than a 3rd pairing. Either one of them flip to the right or we move Samuelson

Brings up the question again of what to do with all of these LHD we have.
