1. More than just Jack will leave in an Eichel trade
2. Jack will be skating before the trade and will need minor surgery at most
3. If a C prospect is not included in an Eichel trade, Reinhart won't be traded
4. Cozens will play wing this season
5. If the Sabres trade with the Wild, their draft pick will be a GK 
6. Ullmark will return
7. Sabres will trade for a backup GK rather than a UFA
8. Thompson and Mitts will get the bust label removed from their names.
9. Adams won't trade or make a deal with the Krak
10. Power will be the pick at #1

 

Darn it.  Meant to include that one.

Nice call.

I think they see Casey as the wing Cozens as the center but I could see it starting out that way.

Sorry.

It just seems that once the owners have a comfort level with someone, they stick with them until something causes them to go all Red Queen on their arse.  Can see Dunleavy avoiding that perceived major F-up to get punted.  At least for the next 3 or 4 years.   

Regardless of what the fanbase might think of the quality of his performance. 

Not to mention, the Pegula's wouldn't know a good hockey play by play guy if one came up and bit them in the ass.

Hope so.

I do see him listed on the wing around here more than C, to be honest

The Buffalo Sabres make the playoffs in 2022.

Nary a bold take among them. What's wrong with you people? It's an anonymous hockey board. Go for it. You can see how unpopular opinions have been beaten out of people, for various reasons. Me, I don't care.

Miller was good, never elite.

Lindy wasn't funny — or fit to lead the team beyond the co-captains.

Terry sucked and meddled (from the git go).

Dahlin has only ever looked good on Swedish YouTube.

It was a good goal.

Amateurs.

After the 2021-22 season, Eric Portillo will be viewed as Buffalo’s “future in net”, and UPL will be viewed as a question mark.

Unless they draft a goalie in the 1st round that is.

You're on.

If the Sabres can mend fences with Eichel and Reinhart and can get Ullmark-quality goaltending consistently this year, then they will make the playoffs.

Philadelphia has got their mascot game on point. The Philly Phanatic is great as well. Remember this gem?

Sabres will finally get rid of Risto and overpay to reacquire Zadorov. Anyway that's what I'm hoping for. Buffalo needs to be more difficult to play against. Zads is not a great player but he's a big hitter and enforcer and the Sabres need protection and they need to go on the offensive in many ways .

Here are five takes I have that I’m sure many of you will disagree with:

• Linus Ullmark is a legitimate top 20 NHL starter
• Rasmus Ristolainen is a better asset than Will Borgen and the Seattle Kraken agree with me.
• Tage Thompson will score 20 goals one year in the NHL.
• Max Comtois would be a better return piece in an Eichel trade than Alex Tuch or Alex Turcotte.
• Owen Power will not be the Sabres pick at 1st overall.

Things are about to get interesting. Go on record with some of yours.

• Linus if he can stay healthy he is
• Risto might be for Seatle, but he is on his last year so not for us
• Tage can have mutliple 20 goal seasons so I agree
• Don't know I like Tuch a lot
• Eklund will be.

Just trade Risto for Zadorov and no one will ever notice. Sabres coulda had a great defensive pairing between Risto and Zads if the never traded him, lol.

Rasmus Dahlin will be the best Sabre this season.

If Eichel is gone I think this is definitely true. And I don't think it'll necessarily be a bad sign, he's just really ***** good when he's on.

A day with no bickering will occur on sabrespace. Maybe.

Analytics used are junk because the coach/system has too much influence on them than the player itself, and so are the people who use them as argument mic drops.

Reinhart is a mental midget and is a disappointment for a season purposefully tanked to acquire

Do you actually think this or is this what you think would happen if KA drafted the players you want?

Chicago is having a hard time getting him to resign at a reasonable amount.

DAMN!

This isn't all that bold. All he has to do is take a corpse of a franchise and make its decomposing hand claw into a playoff spot, just one time, baby.
