I don’t see Hart getting a mid first rounder for. An extended Connor H = yes ++ and also yes to the NAS goalie but no way to Hart

Bravo to Buffalo selling out the playoff games!! I remember watching the first championship in year one. My memory may be failing me but I think it was 9-9 or 10-10 with 30 Seconds left in regulation and Geary (I think) saved a breakaway against Philly for Buffalo. It went into OT, Philly didn’t score on the first possession then Tavares scored behind his back to win it. Not too proud to say I cried. My mom came by the tv and said, “why are you crying?” I said “we’re world indoor lacrosse champions.” She said ,”you’re messed up.” I said, “yes I am.” After seeing all other buffalo teams fail in pivotal moments, to see the Bandits win there, it was just crazy. I haven’t followed them as closely since then but will always be so thankful for that moment and Tavares’s incredible goal.

Plan the fkn parade!!!!

Down 2-1, the series is over already? Wow.

Sure looks like a USA CAD final

He’s not allowed to play in the AHL, so probably can t join them either

He won’t win but really should

Determined by pregame warmups, I take it

Good news if true - where was this reported?

Must suck living in such a negative state of mind. My condolences

Correct

Correct plus he said he was very impressed with the Sabres organization and gave no indicaction he wasn’t signing here. plus, if KA knew he wasn’t signing he would have traded him for a 2nd (the same comp he gets if he doesn’t sign)

Even though he’d be 3 years away from playing with the Sabres this would be excellent

You’re 100% right here. For a defensive dman, Joker is way to unreliable is his own zone. For whatever reason, Bryson and him have regressed this season (Bryson much more so than Joker though)

His bets year was 21-22 when he had something like 10 goals and 12 assists and was a nice +26 in 62 games so what this shows me is he can be a faster, bigger, younger slightly better version of okposo or Girgenson. He can be our top defensive forward who may score upwards of 30 points. If he helps turnaround an atrocious PK unit it’s a win of a trade. Levi can help the PK turnaround too as our goalie sv% on the PK for the other 3 goalies is hideous

Probably correct but can he be worse than our bottom 2 pairing? problem is with 4 games in 5 nights to end season he won’t get a practice in.

You’re right so I think he’ll get the first option as he holds all the cards

Johnson is incentivized to sign soon and play a couple of games with the Sabres so he can burn one year of his entry level deal. Wondering if he can sign in a way to burn a year, play a couple of games with the Sabres, then play with Rochester in the Playoffs? if he doesn’t sign at all we still get a 2nd in comp next year

He could sign as early as today and play tomorrow.

And if they stay in the race: levi vs ny levi vs nj levi vs ott levi vs clb

Would love the refs to call penalties in the 3rd the same way they call them in the 1st. Last night was embarrassing how many holds, hooks and takedowns they allowed in the 3rd

With the ice time he eats up he absolutely is the rookie of the year, though he won’t get it. Currently he is by far the Sabres best all around dman, and probably their best all around player. Granted Dahlin is playing hurt. Winning the lottery for him was an absolute grand slam. and……he’s 20

Rumor is UPL is playing tomorrow which I think is a mistake

I think Greenway is playing hurt - prob a hurt shoulder all year long - and I expect a different player next year. His little scoring streak is on a limited scale but is still a bit promising

I think Levi has to start tomorrow but probably won’t go both games of the b2bs next week. Give UPL one of those games and Anderson the OTT game when we’re eliminated. hopefully Johnson is signed on Sunday and plays 3 games next week too
