OverPowerYou Posted Monday at 01:53 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:53 AM (edited) So let’s see. We got Lindy Ruff. We bought out one of our top 6 forwards and traded for a guy who I’ve never heard of. Sounds like more of the same in Buffalo. I was excited for 2 months after Lindy was hired.

I get that there are more desirable places to play, but the team has a young core and pipeline with an overall decent future and a new head coach who is generally well respected. Must be some pretty awful information out there about the franchise for so many players at different levels (free agents, college players who haven't signed and players that are under contract that don't want to be traded to the team) to not want to come here (and for GMs to honor those wishes for players that could be traded to the Sabres). Doesn't there have to be more to this? They haven't made the playoffs in 13 years when half the teams in the league have a shot, it's almost incredible that they dont even make it in by accident. If you had your choice to go to a nice southern state like Florida to play hockey where they actually win or the fridget cold not even the main city in NY where only 3 fans show up which would you choose with honesty? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will waive or sign here of note. Even when we state that we are trying to win nowadays. Before people say you need to win; well it’s hard to if no one wants to come here unless they are drafted by us to begin with. It would effectively mean we will never escape the basement because we’ll never get the support to get into the playoffs and have to forever rely on rookies only for players to leave upon reaching their maturity. Well, 2 seasons ago they were a Hudson Fasching kicked in goal away from the playoffs. This past season, Adams essentially stayed pat with only Clifton and E Johnson as the only new guys brought in though there were other weak areas to address. IF he'd finally trade some of the prospects/ picks that are where eventual success would seem to be flowing from, then maybe some of that future lost talent / opportunity could be replaced by UFAs that DON'T have the Sabres on their nfw list. Am hoping it starts tomorrow, but am not hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always go shopping for playoff grit guys and he will likely be on the block then unless the Kraken surprise big time and are in a playoff position themselves.

And I'm doubting his style of play helps in the playoffs. Hope he goes to a division rival to give us a better shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily have given him a $1-2MM bonus at 1 game giving them that much extra cap to play with if they wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabresouth Posted Monday at 03:52 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:52 AM I have no faith in KA. Will be shocked if a major deal gets done. Skinner was our 6th highest point getter last season at 46 points. Not sure KA can even muster a trade to bring in another 46 point player to replace him. One step forward, two steps back😒 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted Monday at 04:16 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:16 AM Chad DeDominicis released a podcast tonight. A couple tidbits, they are in talks with Winnipeg about Ehlers. He is willing to come to Buffalo but does not want to sign an extension with any team yet. The ask is high, other players maybe involved from Winnipeg as well, but this is an overpayment they should make imo. 2025 1st top ten protected and a prospect would be my guess. He also mentioned they do have interest in Stamkos and they could offer a short term deal at high AAV. He probably goes somewhere else though. He also wonders about Tyler Toffoli and Matt Roy for the Sabres as UFA Targets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
