[GASabresIUFAN]

Does anyone know if Vinnie is here on an emergency recall?  If not, will he be claimed if we waive him again?

Not on emergency loan, per capfriendly. He's subject to waivers.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Recap:  3 moves so far

Out:

Bjork (AHL), Portillo, and Bloom (Prospects)

In:

Stillman (NHL), a 3rd rd pick in 2023, Center Carson Gicewicz, and a slot on our 50 contract limit

Net cap cost so far 1.35 - .450 = 900k additional cap

And $900k is the new $750k this summer. That's a new UFA goalie right there! That's Effective, Efficient, and Economical. 😇

In o Domi? I think that's Latin for "It's on Mother truckers!"

I guess we can scratch Domi off the list of potential trade targets.

IF they waive him again after being here for 30+ days or 10 games since being recalled.

Not for a while.

Good

[Stads]

Time to do something Kevin. Don't let us sniff the playoffs and then do nothing my man

[Gatorman0519]

All the good players are gone. They don’t care. They are stubbornly only going to put their draft picks in. Another 5 years at this rate. 

[PromoTheRobot]

Chychrun wanted the Sens.

 

[DarthEbriate]

Well, if GM Sheevyn is going to announce something to give this team a morale boost and energy for the end of the season, now's the time.

[Scottysabres]

Stand pat Kevyn. No reason to give up assets, unless it's for long term purchase.

He's running out of it. I don't see anything to make the team better this year happening. Too late imo.

[Cascade Youth]

Adams operates like he’s running a permanent development camp or a college program.

He may or may not know how to evaluate talent - but he sure seems not to understand how to read the room of a fanbase.  
 

If he does nothing today and they miss the playoffs by a nose, he’s going to further alienate the fans.  And some of us are beyond tired of it.

Man was Darcy prescient with the “suffering” comment.

I don't know how to feel today. 

I don't expect anything to be done, but this team is not treading water. It may have been different if Tuch and Dahlin didn't get injured, but this is where you just have to stray off course a little. You're in or around 8th place, finally. This fabbase is rabid and hungry for a playoff entrance, you can see and feel the excitement.... Then they lay a turd and just don't look the same.

We can improve without mortgaging the future, this is what separates great GMs from the guys that don't last. So far it appears GMKA isn't up to the task. If they miss this year and he plays his cards wrong and we miss again next year (god, I hope not) he's cooked. 

 

Good luck KA, the city is watching you today. 

[LGR4GM]

Idk if we do anything else. I'm starting to see how much of an impact Dahlin truly has on this defense though. He should win the Norris. 

[Weave]

I can’t foresee KA bringing in another player today.  The impact on our playoff chances would be so marginal at this point, that the value added wouldn’t trip KAs trigger. 
 

I think there is a small chance he makes a move for a player for one or two years down the road, but my guess is that most likely happens in the offseason.

This is it, kids.  Your golf playing Buffalo Sabres.

[Scottysabres]

After that late third period thumping last night my pendulum is swinging in to the sell, sell, sell mode.

If this is Okposo's last season as a Sabres, ship him off to a contender, same with a couple others.

A single Boo'er won't sway the view. I expected a crowd of Boo'ers to get me to stay the playoff course. Step that heckler game up 😜 

[Weave]

I swear to God if this team is a seller today, I’ll…… well I don’t know what I’ll do but someone won’t be happy.

 

Probably me.

If they send Kyle and Z to a contender? Not saying I’d like it but if Kulich and Savoie are ready next season…

I know the playoffs are important and all, but do you really want to watch 4 of last night's game?  Waiting for the playoffs for 85 years and then not even wanting to watch the games, it's a weird place to be.

Short answer, ***** yes.

I'd watch the 1st 2 periods of last night's game, just not the last 7 minutes.
