So the qualifying offers were given… When do we know if the qualifying offers are excepted?

Exactly! Totally agree. After all the years of following sports not just hockey… It’s amazing that some people still believe whatever the GM says is exactly what’s going to happen or what he’s thinking/planning. Since when is a public statement to the media 100% of what a GM does all the time? Right around never, that’s when. I feel pretty comfortable in guessing that Adams is not done taking calls, placing calls, offering deals, and listening to deals. despite what he may say or imply for public consumption. The same thing was said last year. And the year before that, and the …

The drills don’t interest me as much as the scrimmages do. I’ll be going Thursday morning to check that out

Downplaying or dismissing Granato‘s role in the acquisition of several players so far since he has taken over as coach, is ignorant in my opinion. Not to mention other players that aren’t even on the Sabres anymore praising what Adams and Granato are building towards. It’s a nice change. It’s nice to see.

Acquiring Hellebuyck would be terrific. But I am highly allergic to $10 M goalies. I’d be good with them Acquiring Hart. Offer up UPL and Olofsson for Hart and a 4th in 2024.

He will probably float between 4/5/6 depending on the game, injuries, chemistry etc … Just like a couple D were doing last season.

Nice! Maybe so. I wonder what those Winnipeg games look like.

Post the head to head record over the 6 seasons again to remind him.

As of right NOW. Not “future” success or failure.

Sooooo at this point, right now…. Who in the last 3 off seasons … has been the better GM? Yzerman or Adams? 🤔

Nice progression.

Exactly. Not the happiest unless you’re complaining. This isn’t a negative comment. This is actually something that happens. it’s just how they are built. I forgot what the medical jargon is… But it actually is a personality trait.

Damn right he has! https://www.sabrespace.com/community/topic/28767-everything-kevyn-adams-has-done-as-sabres-gm/

Has Ryan O’Reilly to NSH been mentioned?

I didn’t think this deserved its own thread …. Russian hockey player charged with spying… https://www.newsbreak.com/news/3077137957549-pro-hockey-player-charged-as-a-russian-spy?_f=app_share&s=i4&pd=07kenNOL&lang=en_US&send_time=1688249934&trans_data={"platform"%3A0%2C"cv"%3A"23.26.0.38"%2C"languages"%3A"en"}

You’d be pissed if an ant crawled across your driveway, so your ‘I’m pissed/I’ll be pissed is old news to everyone. These moves make the Sabres better. End of story. It’s July 1st and KA has months to try to improve even more before the start of the season. Reacting negatively now is just silly.

No problem with one more year of good depth, good locker room guy. Non stop hustle.

See, I view Lucic as such a non factor. I couldn’t care less if anyone can or can’t “fight and handle” Lucic. But maybe that’s just me.

How much is Cooley signed for?

Thanks I personally couldn’t care less about him fighting. I do like the “stay away from my goalie” attitude however. As long as he doesn’t take selfish blockhead penalties doing it.

Thanks! Ok I feel better about this bozo now. 👍🏼 Bryson bu-bye Stillman can stay for injury depth if need be. Today, the Sabres D improved.

I like what I have read so far. I probably missed it… So is he a blockhead when it comes to taking penalties or is a pretty average/good?

Good let those idiots sign older “tough guys” to burn up a roster spot. I’m sure THAT will make alllll the difference in winning the cup 😂 Then they should pump max headroom and Wendy’s where’s the beef commercials on their Jumbotrons.

Dude …. Fur babies? I mean …… Fur …. Babies ….
