Rosen, Savoie, Ostlund, and Kulich have 1 combined point in the NHL.

That's hard to stomach.
- Lunaion

thats what we tanked for

And fair if so, but he should be decent trade bait. Any rebuilding team would enjoy having a ppg winger that's ready to make the jump. I think we both have the same worry, that Adams can't get fair value for anything.
- QuinnFan

We do. With 7 games and no points, you'd be lucky to get a 2nd.

Somehow, in Sabreland, the GM would get less for him than Malenstyn.

One thing we don't talk about much is how this new team philosophy impacts prospects. If the 3rd line is the go-to defensive line and 4th a no-talent checking line, it gets really hard for someone like Rosen to ever crack the lineup.
- Lunaion

all of these issues IMO fall on the GM

I'm really hoping (this won't happen) that the team's relatively good start and actual mostly consistent play puts KA in buy mode right now.

Friedman says he's heard GMKA is looking to add and not subtract gives me some hope.

Adams needs to subtract... There is just too much redundancy on the roster.
Cull the herd and upgrade to a couple prize bulls.

That's kind of why I'm hoping Adams is gone before next year regardless of how we do in the standings. He would likely get less for him than Mally. I think most of the posters on this blog could do better than him, not even trying to exaggerate, he's just that bad.

thats what we tanked for
- homiedclown

Let's not take it too far. We tanked for McDavid. We got Eichel and Reinhart, both of whom are doing well. Sadly, we were trying when we got those guys.

They split the first 6 games. To me, that says they were letting them compete.

They played 4 games in 14 nights. That's a light work for one goalie. I think Levi now has plenty of opportunity to play himself back in to a 1B role.

Have to remember this isn't all about Levi's development. Lot of pressure to win NHL games this season and he's their best backup option.
- Lunaion

I think it’s still. 1A and 1B goalie rotation.

Upl and the contract



Levi and being young

Although I see a hot hand approach eventually, if someone gets hot

Mitts has 1 assist on the PP, and he doesn't play with Mack and Rantanen
- Buff36

4 assist and 1 goal. Which is more than a third of his pts. More apples on the PP than at even strength.

His second most even strength time is with them.
32 minutes with Rant, Mack and Colton. They have 10gf and 1ga.

Lets not act like Mitts is driving play. He's benefitting off their superstars just like Ross Colton.
Hes a very good complimentary player but Cozens would be doing very similar there.
I dont see Casey driving play here with an impaired Jack Quinn and whomever has been at LW.

Oops was looking at the wrong games breakdown. And maybe not, but let's not act like Casey wasn't playing good with some of those Sabres or worse.

And Cozens was until this year. Hes not been great but hes also had no help.

Casey has 13 pts in 11 games and is 4th in scoring on his team. Ross Colton has 8 goals in 10 games.

Stop acting like hes driving play over there. Benefitting as a solid complimentary player.

All that said trading him for Byram was dumb to begin with. We did not need another LH puck moving D-man

he was meh last year aside from jan and april when quinn was healthy

He was traded because Adams didn't want to pay him as a perceived 3C.

Cozens and Quinn should be what Cirelli and Hagel are doing in Tampa for the Bolts... 67% xGF share ... I think I read 10:1 goals GF:GA.

That, to me is the biggest concern for the Sabres.

Good post

Adams couldn’t sign another skilled smallish heartless forward to a big contract.

I liked mitts, but we need to get harder to play against and mitts wasn’t imo

I am ok with the byram/power pair



dahlin, power and byram reminds me of when we had housley, virta and van boxmeer on the blue line

only problem is then we had a hajt, ramse, ruff and playfair to play with them and now we have joker, clifton and sameulsson

the big needs of a partner for dahlin and 1 or 2 top 6 guys is still the big issue with the club

Trade with Philadelphia?
Sabres ; Sammy Quinn and a 4th for frabbe and seeler and Nick
And wave laff man
What do you think 36?

That’s not how the pp works in 2024

Old school methods.

You want pass options. Usually teams will have a bumper on the shot to provide support.

Do you honestly think Mitts would be doing much better if at all with current Benson/Kulich and Quinn as wingers.

Not getting 4:12 of PP time a game with Mackinnon, Makar, Rantanen?

Looking like we need a Top 6 C more than a LW

And Cozens was better before that.

Nearly identical ppg on their careers.
