Carmel Corn

or Toronto please.

I prefer "grit" vs. sandpaper.....it's less letters and I'm lazy.

That's ESPN for you.....

How has Kisakov looked this past season....any growth, either physically and/or development-wise?

Go Panthers! I simply can never cheer for the Leafs....unless Hell freezes over.

Is $6.6 realistic for Power? I'd guess he would not sign for less than $8 million for that much term....but what do I know....

I'd rather have Graves IMHO - better defensively than Severson.

Actually, I'm curious if the Calgary Asst. Coaches are any good? Anybody worth considering that can be an upgrade to our existing asst. coaching staff?

Love how Gudas plays....it's pretty amazing to me how tough he plays despite only being 6 ft. 0 inches....must be pretty "thick" in his build.

IDK, I feel Toronto could have beaten Boston based on how the Bruins have been looking more vulnerable. OTH, Florida is healthier now, younger and have multiple guys who can match-up well against the Leafs. All I know is that I am now rooting hard for the Panthers!

Bruce Cassidy wants to say HI to Boston fans....but he's too busy getting ready for the next round of the playoffs

Years ago, I thought Craig Rivet (Instigators) stated that the Sabres already had a talented D-man in Montour, if they would only use him properly....especially on the powerplay as a quarterback. Maybe he was right?!?!

As we have come to know all these years.....anybody who gets traded to another team (or board) suddenly becomes an all-star there and the rest of us here then wonder why they got traded in the first place...and then we become critical of our own place as to why we failed to develop them properly. OMG - how did we let ___________ get away (for peanuts or a bag of pucks?!?!)

Former Sabres Reinhart and now Taylor Hall scoring in the 3rd period....tied 3-3 now halfway thru the 3rd.

Sure, Stillman is not a top 4 guy and never will be, but we needed a better 5/6 guy, which he clearly is vs. Clague and Bryson. Sure other (maybe better) guys were available as pending UFA's, but I didn't want GMKA to overpay for them, which he did not do for Stillman. Waiving Stillman is pretty ridiculous now, when you traded away an asset to get him and he's also under contract still. Stillman did not have the benefit of being with our team long, so I'd like to think he can improve with more time and a camp with the team. Trading for a stay-at-home LD is not necessarily the only goal....I'd say a stay at home RHD is even better. Trading Joki is not the answer either. I hate his game as a top 4 guy, but he's more tolerable as a 5/6 guy...which is where he belongs.

With respect to Miles Wood, is your point that you think this is a bad idea (or not)? Just asking for a little more perspective....so for example, would you rather have Miles Wood or Victor Olofsson on the roster?

This is where my wishful thinking comes in.....I do wish that he signs with the Sabres still. If he does not announce his intentions for a while, I do hope he participates in the next development camp. From there, I do hope he likes what he see's (including the other talent around him) and finally decides this is where he wants to be.

His +/- history suggests to me that we don't have to worry about replacing ALL of his goal production. His absence may actually provide some addition by subtraction with respect to overall goal differential. Also, if his spot is replaced by somebody who can bring a different style of play, meaning winning more puck battles to improve possession time....thereby more scoring opportunities and goals.

Would it be a crazy scenario that there is no announcement before the draft, Ryan Johnson is invited to the next Sabres Development camp (July?). After that, he decides that this is the place he wants to be and finally inks a deal before he becomes a UFA? Maybe ridiculous, but can't help wondering if this could happen.

As stated by others above, the PK was simply too passive, thereby allowing the other teams to operate with too much space and time. I'd also prefer to see our D-men more active in terms of pushing opposing forwards out of the crease area to let our netminders see the puck more easily. Last, I feel the D-men literally "faced" the puck when there were loose pucks in the crease.....I'd rather see them turn away from our goalies and face the forwards in the area and neutralize them from getting to the loose pucks.

Time will tell, but I agree it will take $5+ to sign him. There has to be 1 or more other teams that feel $5M per year is a reasonable price for a top 4 guy still in his 20's (albeit somewhat later).

Watching Florida vs. Boston, it makes me wonder how we managed to waste Brandon Montour's talent while he was with Buffalo?!?!

IMHO, my only concern with your point is that of the defense (both in terms of personnel and scheme). As far as personnel, who comes to mind as internal development from the bottom 3 defense corp? I don't see Joki, Boosh or Stillman developing as a legit top 4 defender. As far as scheme, I question whether our organization has the right coaching to tighten up coverage in our zone. Stronger goaltending will help for sure, but I'd like to see the team improve in front of him.

What was the home record based on: 1. Black goathead uni's? 2. White "Pajama" uni's? 3. Normal blue uni's? Maybe it's not the crowd 🤔???

Can we deny Pittsburg permission to interview Karmanos? Kind of like what happened when we wanted to interview Chris Drury for GM years ago? https://buffalonews.com/sports/sabres/article_fc8e7642-d52f-5561-abbe-904076005bca.html
