The Jokeman

Yeah but I mean not all is negative in Sabreverse I mean Evander Kane kinda fizzled after leaving. I need to be somewhat positive to call myself a Sabres fan but tbh gets tougher and tougher as this drought continues.

Worked well for Taylor Hall to play with Eichel...

I'm smelling former Penguins on this team. Too bad we missed out on Danton Heinen.

Feels like a steal based on writeups but gotta wonder why he lost his starting job.

VO replacement in 5 years?

100000% agreement.

It's debatable if this guy is even NHL rosterable. Sure he played 81 last year but before that.

2nd rounder for a 4th liner? Can we just fire GMKA?

The point is we got plenty of kids in the pipeline but need NHL talent today. That's why must of us wanted to trade the pick.

Cuz we got a valuable 2nd Round pick. Meh.

Anybody then draft a kid that won't be here for 3 seasons.

His skin is as white/pink as his suit.

Face it we're gonna move down again.

Did nobody have Buium sit in those pants before the interview?

And Adams trades down to get an extra 3rd (not real).

Count me as one of those that wants Samuelson moved.

I don't think we do anything tonight in terms of trades for existing players.

In retrospect Murray put together some good players but they for whatever reason didn't mesh together as ROR, Eichel, Lehner and most likely Reinhert, Okposo and Kulikov likely going to be Stanley Cup winner maybe others on the list as missed but those were first names I remember. We can blame coaching but who knows for whatever reason they didn't work here. Yet I won't say we're better until see it on the ice and thus far I haven't.

One could only hope.

So be it, prove it in 2024-25 and I might change my opinion.

Bring back Zack Kassian!!!

and he has yet to show he can stay healthy. That's my concern with him.

He was good not great in the Donald Audette sort of way. Ideal 2nd liner/PP specialist. Jack Quinn should be an adequate replacement so he can stay healthy.

Na, Mike Peca as Assistant HC be more fitting. I'm indifferent on Ruff, as I didn't see any great retreads available but Lindy without a great goalie is meh.

I'm just saying trading him be a major shakeup. I'm on the fence to be honest.
