I mean top 6 in the league, not a 2nd or 3rd paring. Just among Swedes there is Hedman, Karlsson, and Forsling that all (right or wrong )were given more ice on Team Sweden during 4 Nations. That is a data point. There is Maker, Warrensky, Hughes, McAvoy, Fox, Josi, Heskinan, Bouchard, Morrisey, Toews, Slavin, and more. I like Dahlin but he is not generational when there are this many other defensemen that are arguably in the same category. Me saying top 6 in the league is not easy to defend when I think about it.

Karmanos would be the better choice if they stay in house.

I want you to be correct. Just not sure you are.

It was to some. If you are not continuously improving then you are not improving. The Sabres under Adams refused to bring in better players while they waited for their prospects - no blockers, right? Some of the prospects looked good in comparison to the JAGs they had to beat out. Then they all hit a wall. Wonder why?

No player on this team is a generational talent. Dahlin is a top 6 defenseman in the league, maybe, sometimes. No one is trading a top 4 D or a 1C man right now unless its a poor team looking to make major moves. A real hockey trade that bundles players in a big deal is usually a post season deal. Trading Tuch is trading one of the few leaders and glue pieces we have. They need to acquire another guy like Tuch, not trade away the one we have. I submit that if we flip Tuch at the deadline we will loose more than we gain, but maybe our savvy GM proves me wrong? Lots of teams will be interested in sending us a prospect they are giving up on, and/or a pick. That strategy has failed in the past.

I don’t understand what Cozens can do in the next 3 games to change his impression from the first 350. You know what he is right now. The question is what is his real ceiling and will he get there in the current situation.

Benson has more value to you than Thompson? Whoa

No indication from Pegula on anything Sabres related since “ the solution is in the room”. I think he rolls it back with Adams and Lindy.

Players burnt out from losing - means more want out. Sabres overly cautious - means FO has no answers.

His stats show he is a solid 2nd line winger. If he is 3rd line you have a top 4 team in the league. No interest in trading him. Trade Samuelsson and Cozens instead.

Alex Tuch: Games 58, Goals 22, Assist 24, Points 46, PIMs = 31, + 13 In my opinion this is who he is and he is consistently a top player for this team. He is the best overall winger on the team. A good leader. He stands up for his teammates. He plays hard. He can play both PP and PK. He plays a solid two way game on top of it. Sure trade Tuch. Keep trading our best players. Great idea because plenty of teams will want him. You might get a top 4 RHD but then you have yet another massive hole on the already WEAK top 6. Despite the team sucking again, and the coaching being sub standard again, and the GM being incompetent, and the owner absent and clueless, lets scapegoat Alex Tuch - a player that actually deserves to be in the NHL and carries his weight and then some. Great idea!

He held a press conference to tell the fan base how good things are if only ...

Agree. I like the Benson a lot but he still does not have an NHL shot, which keeps him on the 4th line playing with less skilled players. Another B-I-G Adams screw up letting the roster get so devoid of NHL veteran players (right after stating they we going to make a playoff run) that an 18 year old Benson could outplay the others and earn a spot. But Benson did earn it because there were "no blockers". Adams didn't bring in a guy to replace Quinn when he had the Achilles.

I’m not excited about the trade deadline. I have no desire to see Adams trade the few desirable veteran pieces like Greenway or Zucker for futures. Then try and fail to replace them in the offseason.

Yes, all near term finances. Basically to cover the cost commitments that he knows he has.

We got the better player in the Mitts trade but he didn’t improve the team and our center spline got worse. Winning trades can mean little.

Habs are 10 points ahead of us, and second last in our division. Adam’s five year Report Card coming in April.

Sabres fans run out of the rink. Sabres disappoint once again.

We would Alamo, the lowly Habs can put it in the EN.

Sabres took their foot off the gas when Peterka got the goofy interference call. I don’t get the play on the 4v4. Giving up a late goal, at home, big no no

Sabres looking terrible. They stop playing on the 4 on 4. Giveaway on a PK UPL keeping them in it.
