Fall in line with this mostly. Again the question of whether we have improved is essentially besides the point if the answer isn’t blindingly obvious. All you have to do is place yourself in the mind of last June, 2024, and *be honest* with yourself. Remember what everyone was saying? It HAD to be their year. Last chance. we proceeded to be a last place team nearly the whole year if someone had told they’d change no coaching, no management, forwards nothing, just worse, goalie nothing, and the add of a 4th d man - you’d literally laugh out loud If the sabres are somehow “improved”, I only think less of what we were we downgraded one of our best players and had a mediocre draft - that’s the extent of the offseason for the worst team in pro sports

My exact thought lol

It’s fine to have Dahlin Byram Kesselring Power Samuelsson Docker and Timmins and say those 7 D are your 6 D. It’s really the 8th guy that’s the spare. A fully healthy unit is more uncommon than common imo

Definitely time. Dunno about the will but there’s time

If this is a question, at all, when year 15 is on the line, we’ve failed

Our overall minimalist approach this offseason on the verge of 15 straight years of no playoffs can only be construed imo as a reflective of their utter confidence in Josh Norris

And made 9 selections

We traded 1 pick lol

Same

Exactly. Again you said it best I should have kept reading

That’s the rub. “Fine” doesn’t jive with what you’d expect and want after 14 missed years and the declaration playoffs were mandate this past year they are not approaching the roster as if they are desperate to make the playoffs. Does anyone think it looks like they are? Most change on the fridge It’s a good trade. That doesn’t mean the impact will be significant. It’s a good trade for a low level asset - there’s a difference

I’d say overall we are still weaker than last year and we were mostly a last place team Peterka to Kesselring and Doan is a downgrade and I’m not sure Clifton to Timmons bridges it - i think of we are lucky we may be break even at a lower cost

Better than Dahlin, maybe. But I’m only on page 7. I won’t give up hope this place gets to Pronger by the end of the thread Promo is now a borg mind I see

Have we actually gotten confirmation on the brain?

Bump again

We need to trade him for a forward

Our 1C? Bold

At least we didn’t make all the picks

Ya it’s fine

Another guy where injury history very much a question mark

He said we could do worse on the bottom pair

Bump
