Weave Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 I believe the playoff futility record is going to extend another year. I believe the longer it takes to rebuild, the more things can happen to scuttle it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 No. Not much to buy into outside of Dahlin and Tage. Going to need a lot more than that… The prospects are all unproven and it takes years to mature….and oh yeah… need a franchise goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7+6=13 Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 Is the Sabres current status worse than fans expectations this would be a playoff year or they would not believe in what the organization is doing? I'm firmly in the camp of no, the status isn't worse. I thought we would continue to develop offensively. We're tied for 3rd in the conference in goals for. I figured we'd struggle defensively and in net. We're just about where I thought we'd be at this stage. We're young, without a steady net minder and we're not close to being filled out defensively.

Yeah I think we're fine at goaltending, don't you? C'mon! If you had higher expectations than what you're seeing, then that's on you. If you don't see what this team has and the stage it's in toward the development, then I support you being pissed and to quit on the current plan.

They have been ignoring the biggest problem goltending I've complained they're not serious about winning with how its been handled. Its irritating for old fans like myself that they're ok sucking again for the 11th straight year Edited November 15, 2022 by Buffalonill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its irritating for old fans like myself that they're ok sucking again for the 11th straight year I get it but I haven't really been enamored with the free agents the last couple years that we would have had a legitimate shot at. There were trades with clauses, etc that just didn't work for us. Ullmark maybe but I think he was leaving regardless. We'll get one. The right one just hasn't presented itself, IMO. These college goalies have us in a bit of a bind and I believe once we sign one (likely Levi over Portillo), we'll make a move once he's under team control. If we had signed a goalie to a 6 year deal, I think we'd lose both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 5 or 6 teams in league by 24/25 Cup Contender? No. Not in a couple of years. In a couple of years, they could be a playoff team if the can get a goaltender and a few prospects reach their potential. A playoff team is not necessarily a Cup Contender.

LabattBlue Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) I don’t care where the prospect pool is ranked, if this team is not in the playoffs by the end of next season(23-24), Adams should be fired. I have beat this to death, but half of the friggin’ teams make the playoffs every year…IT SHOULDN’T BE THIS DIFFICULT.

Thorner Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Adams is committed enough to a slow, safe process that, I dunno when it will be, maybe years, but I do think we will become a good team. Predicting based on what we've seen that we have a sure-fire cup-contender on the way would be absurd, though. There's so, so much ground to cover before anything like that is on the horizon. Would be absurd to think we have enough info to consider ourselves on that sure-fire path. Become a good team, become a team that can win half of it's games, become a team that can fight for a playoff spot in March, become a team that can make the playoffs...see where we are at after that. On 11/14/2022 at 9:52 AM, Crusader1969 said: I agree the first rebuild was a failure due to Murray’s impatience the Philosophy completely changed with Adams came on board and he’s sticking to his plan so to me , this is just year 2. If you don’t have optimism for your team, why do you continue to watch? maybe there are some that just enjoy misery?
