We know they "can" do it when they want to. Will they "choose" to do it every night? That's the burning question with this team

Yes true, long way to go.  They should still be looking at improving the top 6 too.  

2 guys in the press box wouldn't be missed. Trade them.

I am open to an add to the top six, but not at the cost of our current NHL D Depth. We’ve got loads of first round pedigree prospects that a rebuilding team could desire.

It’s a long season.  Injuries are going to happen.  If the Sabres stay healthy, then Henri at the deadline to get something for a UFA departing asset.

You don't trade your depth. They are trying to make the playoffs and make a deep run in the playoffs.

Having 8 defenseman is a good thing.   Unless we get a defenseman back I would not weaken the group of 8 defenseman that we have.

 

I prefer they trade forwards and/or forward prospects to improve the Top 6.

After the start of the season where they scored 3 goals in 3 games, they've been averaging 4.0 per game, which would put them in the top 5 in the league.

Just need Helenius to be given a shot... maybe not ready but if Quinn and Cozens dont get their mojo back... maybe have one sit for a game or 2 and let Helenius get some experience.

Let him cook in ROC. He just started to get on a bit of a roll down here.

2nd 3 game winning streak in 3 weeks.  Now they need to not have a 2nd 3 game losing streak mixed in again.  Time to turn it up a notch.

I don't agree at all. Helenius needs to stay in Rochester and improve his game. He's not Benson and he's not yet adapted to NA.

You are being too impatient with Quinn and Cozens. Since Benson returned to the line those players, and the line, have played better. From what I have recently scene, Cozens is playing better but simply isn't converting his chances.

Nope.  Don’t rush Helenius.   We need to stop throwing kids to the wolves.

This is the new way of doing things and it seems to work. Most people if they are not ready they usually never will be anymore.

impatient? ffs, Cozens got a big contract and Quinn isn't exactly a rookie. Sabres are already way too patient with Quinn. I simply don't see how you say you are setting a standard and having accountability and then he's still in the line up. He needs a big sit down. 

Power could use a sit down too. Both Quinn and Power strike me as guys more concerned with messing up their hair than breaking a sweat.
