Seeing no one indicates no solid plan They needed a second goalie last year, too. And the year before that when they started super-hot and then Hutton's eyes disappeared. 1 Quote

SABRES 0311 Posted July 29, 2021 Report Posted July 29, 2021 I work a long day and first thing I do is go on SS to see the free agent moves. I guess KA doesn’t like RHD or a good team. Jokes on him, we don’t even know what a good team is. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 29, 2021 Report Posted July 29, 2021 I should be angry or upset about today and the Sabres but honestly, I just don't care. 2 1 Quote

Torpedo Forecheck Posted July 29, 2021 Report Posted July 29, 2021 Wow I try to be an optimist, but this team looks just awful. I find what has transpired during this so important period to be truly depressing. Is there any reasonable plan ? 1 Quote

Ducky Posted July 29, 2021 Report Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) 7 hours ago, Thorny said: The D they got are just okay. Weak at C. They were horrid defensively from the F position last season. I think they'll be ok and potentially pretty good if things click but I wouldn't predict them to be the best team. Their team metrics were very poor last year overall. They replaced Tucker Poolman (got a ridiculous contract from Dim Jim) with Nate Schmidt. They replaced Forbort (got an even more ridiculous deal from the Bruins) with Dillon. Their metrics will be much better next year. If Chevy manages to keep Copper, I think we finish 2nd in the Central next year. Edited July 29, 2021 by Ducky Quote

If Chevy manages to keep Copper, I think we finish 2nd in the Central next year. They could end up the best Canadian team next year, but thats not saying much compared to the rest of the league. Toronto will be the closest competition for them and I wouldn't say Toronto has gotten better, but I also don't think they really got any worse. Montreal would be next and they could come crashing back to earth next year. They were just good enough to make the playoffs in an expanded format and got hot at the right time in them. I don't know if that happens again and it pretty much relies on if Price can play like he did in the playoffs during the season. Edmonton is still Edmonton, and Calgary, Ottawa and Vancouver are still teams that are hovering around middle of the pact with Ottawa finishing a rebuild and the other 2 retooling again. Quote

I didn't mention the best in Canada? They aren't in the Canadian division next year, they will be in the Central and I can only see the Avs finishing with more points. Quote

Sorry, it was mentioned earlier I believe about them being the best team from Canada, nothing to do with divisions. 1 Quote
dudacek Posted July 29, 2021 Report Posted July 29, 2021 Still a lot of guys out there, surprisingly enough: Centre: Stepan, Krecji, Zajac, Bozak, Brassard, Donato, Cizikas, Anisimov, Helm, Nash Wing: Ritchie, Saad, Palmieri, Perreault, Heinen, Ryan, Kahun, Galchenyuk, Tatar, Ennis, Virtanen, Kase Defence: Murray, Gustafson, Benn, Gudbranson, Smith, Vatanen, Hutton, Merrill There are a few pieces in there that might help, but I don’t see them acquiring anyone that requires them to commit to term, or “blocks” a prospect. I also don’t see the Sabres doing anything prior to the Eichel trade; they have enough bodies and there is a small chance they may acquire someone who will need space. But if there isn’t an NHL centre coming in from that trade, they are going to need one. Either from the list above, or, more likely, another Butcher-style trade. 3 Quote
