Much more of a return than I expected, but unless Hagg is going to be a regular 3rd pair guy on most nights, probably no help for either 21-22 or 22-23 from the return.

...Hall QUIT on the Sabres. Not any of this “swamped by its dysfunction” bs.

...and do you see how many people on a daily basis break this alleged law?

So the Sabres haven’t released Eichel’s medical records to prospective trade partners, but they expect serious offers without the records being made available to the other teams? Something doesn’t sound right here, and if I’m one of the teams interested in trading for Eichel, the records should be made available upon initial inquiry, or I tell Adams to go pound salt.

I almost always allow people who are entering or exiting a store to pass, while I stop and wait in my car. Trying to do a nice thing, and I’m guessing more than half the people cannot be bothered with a quick “thank you” wave. Rude, inconsiderate, and miserable people suck. 😞

We will agree to disagree.

...and Carrier has been gone for 3 years now, and who is the equivalent player on the 4th line that replaced him?

You really believe Bryson and Miller are better roster choices than Borgen?

Says the guy who throws regular tantrums here. Pot meet kettle.

So much for the “we want to be tough to play against” mantra.

Would you have rather lost Miller + a 4th(for Seattle taking him), or Borgen?

I would re-sign Hal Irwin to a multi-year deal before he gets scooped up on the UFA market.

The good news...we didn’t lose any “valuable” forwards such as Bjork, Tage, Okposo or Girgensons. Why the need to draft Power when Borgen is so easily replaceable.

Hopefully the replacement isn’t too physical. We don’t want to give fans the wrong impression. 😉

Link? I have trouble believing the Sabres have lost on average 30 mil per year.

I’ll join if there are any owners who drop out this year.

I’m very leary that players who improved a lot after DG took over, will continue those big leaps. Why? Because how much of a structured system did DG use last year, versus just telling them to go play and don’t worry about making mistakes. We will find out come October.

Oh yeah...it was you. 😂 Im not sure what the numbers were in 19-20(15k-16k??), but I’m calling substantial...a drop of 2000 or more.

Good for you. The Pegula’s have put a poor product on the ice for a decade, and it’s time for the fans to take a stand.

I was told by someone here(don’t remember who), that because him and six people he knows are all renewing, that there will not be a substantial drop in STH numbers.

On a team that needs to be more physical and tougher to play against on the blueline, there is a good chance Borgen and Risto will not be here on opening night. Let’s see who they are replaced with...after all, I was told players like them are “easily replaced”. 😞

Until he proves me wrong..."deer in the headlights".

Future considerations?

Trades are hard. 😞

You mean replaced with guys like Matt Irwin and Brandon Davidson? Maybe just maybe...he is not as easily replaced as you think.
