GASabresIUFAN Posted October 12, 2021 Author Report Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) 1) Leading scorers - Goals, Assists and Points - Mittelstadt leads in points (56) and goals (25). Dahlin leads in assists (45) and is very close to Mitts in points (52) 2) Team record - 30-45-7 3) Team MVP - Dahlin 4) Team ROY - R2 - becomes move valuable as the soon goes along and forces his way into the top 6 5) First Player traded - Butcher - gets outplayed by Bryson. Sabres trade him for a 6th. 6) First player recalled from Rochester - Murray 7) Surprising in season move (trade or acquistion) - KA acquires a goalie when Anderson gets hurt because UPL and Dell are struggling in Rochester. 8.) Best surprise player - Hagg, plays a simple physical game and reminds us of McCabe. 9) Biggest disappointment - Cozens - struggles and gets sent down. JJP called up to replace him. Any other bold predictions (or not so bold). Jack never returns and is traded for a 1st, a medium center prospect, a conditional pick and a cap dump at the deadline. KA also promoted and Karmanos becomes the GM. Miller and VO also traded at the deadline. We get a 4th for Miller and a conditional 1st for VO. Edited October 12, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN 1 Quote

Best surprise player Routsalainen 9) Biggest disappointment Eakin playing in the 1st 22 games before suffering a season long knee injury. (The disappointment is Eakin playing that many w/out getting benched.) Any other bold predictions (or not so bold). Tokarski under his 2nd season of Bales tutelage actually does a reasonable Ullmark imitation minus the fragility & wills the Sabres into the 70's in the standings. Anderson plays well in his 26 starts. Finishing 29th, they surprise the hockey world landing 1 of the 2 lottery wins. Arizona wins the Carrion but still can't win a lottery. Krackers finish 30th.

thewookie1 Posted October 13, 2021 Report Posted October 13, 2021 Every season, before it begins I set up a spreadsheet with the full schedule and take a guess at the record. I have a Conservative Estimate and a Hopeful Estimate. Last year I literally just spammed W, L, OTL due to the schedule screwing around so much thus so far I'm 2 for 3 in surrounding the final point total. For this season: Conservative: 24-32-13 for 61 points Hopeful: 35-18-16 for 86 points Now for the general stuff: 1) Leading scorers - Goals, Assists and Points Mitts (24 goals), Dahlin (44 assists), Mitts (59 points) 2) Team record 28 - 36 - 18 for 74 points 3) Team MVP Mitts (24 goals, 35 assists, 59 points) 4) Team ROY R2 (15 goals, 15 assists, 30 points) in 68 games Peterka (9 goals, 10 assists, 19 points) in 38 games 5) First Player traded Eichel to CGY for Monahan, Dube, Zary and a '22 1st that moves to '23 if he doesn't play this year Monahan is moved without playing here 6) First player recalled from Rochester Peterka 7) Surprising in season move (trade or acquistion) Olofsson, Miller and Bjork are dealt 8.) Best surprise players Okposo and Girgs restart the OG line with a new friend 9) Biggest disappointment Cozens struggles with being 2C and is sent to Rochester akin to MItts but when Mitts should have been. Any other bold predictions (or not so bold). Sabres actually turn out to be a thorn in the side of many teams throughout the season and finish 3rd from the bottom ahead of Arizona and Anaheim. Buffalo wins the Lottery While record isn't great, most forum members actually feel pretty good as to where the team is going. The Analytics Department grows in the Front Office and shows more influence as the year continues. Quote
Curt Posted October 13, 2021 Report Posted October 13, 2021 1) Leading scorers - Goals, Assists and Points Routsalainen- 24 goals Dahlin- 47 assists Dahlin- 57 points 2) Team record 31-43-8 70 points 3) Team MVP Dahlin 4) Team ROY Routsalainen 5) First Player traded Eichel 6) First player recalled from Rochester Brett Murray 7) Surprising in season move (trade or acquistion) Victor Olofsson is traded at the deadline. 8.) Best surprise player Routsalainen 9) Biggest disappointment Victor Olofsson Any other bold predictions (or not so bold). Eakin gets sent to Rochester at some point. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted October 13, 2021 Report Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) 1) Leading scorers - Goals, Assists and Points Olofsson - 27G; Dahlin - 38A; Mittelstadt - 58P 2) Team record 26-47-9 61 points 3) Team MVP Really tempted to say Hinostroza as a glue guy on a competent (if overmatched in their own zone) first line. Instead: Dahlin 4) Team ROY R2 Ruotsalainen 5) First Player traded Eichel 6) First player recalled from Rochester The diminutive defense gets collapsed leading to net-crashing and tweaked goalies. UPL isn't ready so early in the season. The answer is Dell. 7) Surprising in season move (trade or acquisition) Bjork sent to waivers and claimed elsewhere 😎 Best surprise player R2. Someone has to step up for the... 9) Biggest disappointment Skinner. Hard to be the biggest since he's consistently been disappointing. But yes, he'll be right back down on the 3rd/4th line just like every one of his previous coaches has done. Any other bold predictions (or not so bold). Cozens joins Girgs and Okposo and they become the COG line and make us happy. Edited October 13, 2021 by DarthEbriate Quote

What in this thread is doom and gloom? I simply asked for people's predictions for the team. I predicted strong seasons for guys like Dahlin, Mitts, R2 and Hagg. Not sure how that is doom. Many people have predicted worse seasons then I did. How is that my fault? Others have predicted we'll compete for a playoff spot. I have not judged or criticized any opinions on this thread other then yours. If you would like to predict a Stanley Cup contender, by all means please do so. 1 Quote
