He might not make the most sense, but he certainly makes more sense than doing nothing at the position and hoping for the best
-
This just isn’t accurate. The President’s Trophy winners iced the vezina winning goalie and *still* heavily relied on Swayman. Rookie Devon Levi doesn’t make the second goalie issue for the Buffalo Sabres moot. Not even close

Sabres sign Defenseman Connor Clifton to 3 year 3.33 AAV Deal
Thorner replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Not at all. The comparison is a poor one. Timing different, asset pool different, NHL need different. Murray’s reputation far exceeds what he ever actually did here, too. One GM made 2 win-now trades and now “trades bad” -
Please just do something worthwhile. It would seem to be close to neglect to do nothing there when so much of the rest of the roster looks ready
-
Thank you. Goalie is the only position people continually talk about improving by improving other positions. No one talks about the other positions this way. It’s actually ok to roster a good player or 2. You don’t merely need to be content with bumping up poor goaltending into mediocre through additions elsewhere. You actually can look to supply good goaltending outright A broken record. The time frame is 4 seasons, there’s simply no room for excuses anymore

What about in net? Chad at least seems to be saying they are/will be (maybe just hoping) they are still after one
-
Skinner - Thompson - Tuch Mittelstadt - Cozens - Peterka Olofsson - Krebs - Greenway Girgensons - Jost - Okposo (Rousek) Samuelsson - Dahlin Power - Clifton Stillman - Johnson (Lyubushkin, Jokiharju, Bryson) Levi (UPL, Comrie) That’s what we are looking at right now. Could just see the removal of 1 or 2 of the bolded D men, and 1 of the bolded goalies, and a run back with a modestly improved D unit
-
Ya if that’s what results it’s a status quo offseason with a couple moneypuck D adds. Not exactly unexpected, but nonetheless would be disappointing I think Kevyn has made all his plan B moves. I could see him being ready to roll with this crew of if no deal strikes the value he wants
-
Could be a run back at F, and in net, with a couple modest additions on D Or, could see a revamped G position, a couple modest additions on D, and maybe even a F add or two through a big swap. So, more of a sweeping change. we shall see
-
We can certainly afford one and we certainly need one
-
“We got him? We got Dustin Tokarski?!”
-
Yes, I got a kick out of our top 2 D draft picks and top 2 D roster additions being right shots Thanks for asking

I really like this signing if we add a good goalie. Improve the goaltending a little bit with these reasonable additions to the D, nothing splashy, and improve the D a little bit through a goalie addition. It’s the one more move I need to see before the rest is arguably gravy -
I think we’re about to see a trade for a G
-
Yes I know housekeeping or whatever but I’m so tired of these seemingly endless groundhog day goalie signings for Buffalo I just want to finally see that good addition
-
We’ve moneypucked the D, which shouldn’t really be unexpected Hopefully this allows us to use assets to shore up in net I think it’s Stillman, Johnson, Bryson, Jokiharju, Lyubushkin for spots 5-7. Stillman and Johnson with the inside track I believe

Is the Joki minutes that Clifton is getting second pair minutes? Can’t even remember -

Samuelsson - Dahlin Power - Clifton Stillman - Johnson Jokiharju Is that enough improvement on D? I’d imagine Bryson is gone and I picked Jokiharju for durability reasons over Bush but that’s anecdotal and could be wrong Looks to me like a modestly improved unit -

There’s a non negligible chance we don’t see Kevyn move any assets this summer at all from our entire pool. Imo I’m hoping we are keeping them for a G trade -

Hopefully since we aren’t using any assets to supplement D or F, we package some for a goalie we have so many assets -

Another righty, 3 years this time. Seems good, no? Gives us some time to start some Rhd
