The Sabres can afford to lose some prospects and picks but the one thing we have to be careful with is money. Do not sign any kind of risky contracts. We have to pay Quinn and Peterka next season and that’ll probably be 10 million between the two if not more. We will have to pay Savoie, Benson, Kulich, Levi and Byram in 2-4 years. The last thing we wanna see is, for example, Savoie come up and be a 30 goal scorer and great dynamic player and then watch him walk because we can’t afford him. All this team needs is a 3rd line center and to not get unlucky with injuries. Keep it simple, trust the process.
@@bjarczyk and I get the negativity. Shit I was so emotional after the season ended I wanted to blow it all up. But with some space, I realized the Devils didn’t suck this year because their day 1 roster was worse than the 114 something point team they were last year. They just struggled with injuries. Tage played injured, Quinn and Samuelson are huge pieces. Fr give one of those two guys an 80 game season…. I gotta think we are in the playoffs.
@bjarczyk why are you always going off about the fans? The fans this, the fans that stfu we have a right to be pissed off 13 years and counting or have you forgot
Kane has maybe 2 years at best left and finishing out of the playoffs in Buffalo is probably not how he sees his career ending. He will end up on one of the Florida teams, Vegas or Dallas.
Can we just be done with the Patrick Kane talk. He doesn't care about the Sabres, doesn't care about Buffalo or he'd have been here already. He's still serviceable to some extent but he is not the veteran this team needs.
Kane never wanted to come to Buffalo ever! We dont want him now. Omg can you imagine if we won the cup with him on the roster? We won because of me. NO THANKS.
Kaner would help the PP and top 6 . But only for 2 yrs × 5 mill ......i dont want to block out the future of the Sabres Jiri , Rosen, Savoie and so on.
@danevertt3210 I would prefer one myself. But idk if one gets it done. Honestly, I'm thinking 3 yr × 4.5 mill will be his next contract. Unless he goes back to the hawk's. I can see the hawk's giving him 3 yrs × 6 mill plus
For crying out loud can we just sign the hometown guy already? Seems like we’ve had this discussion every offseason the past few years and people say he’s washed up. Then he goes out and proves he’s not washed up. If a deal can get done that makes sense financially, please do it.
06 would win in 5 or 6 games. Hasek would steal one or two games. Other than that 06 team was overall so much better in every aspect. The speed alone would kill 99. Perfect example is the Philly series. They build that team to be high hitting, slow moving, and look at how much the Sabres walked all over them. No Offense to hasek but his curse is against Chris Drury or Peter Forsberg. Drury was huge for Colorado and then Buffalo. He would definitely win at least one game alone being so unbelievably clutch. Then you have co clutch in briere. Hasek is the closest thing to a god goalie but those two would break him or the speed of 06 would break him. Penalty kill was superb and so was the PP. Overall way to complete of a team. Also let's not rule out Miller. I'm sorry but he stole a few games for us especially game 2 in Ottawa. It's a goalie battle for sure and yes Dom is the closest thing to goalie god however, it's not like Miller is chop liver. That dude after is a HOF as well. I really think it would end in 5. Hasek and Miller could both steal one away from the other.
No thanks to Kane as hes too Old and his hip injury history is scary as is his D zone coverage! 😊 Adams said at the year end press coverage that his goal is to bring in a veteran 3rd line centre and some abrasiveness for the 4th line so I assume the third line RW spot could be given to a rookie like Savoie, Kulich , Rosen or Whalberg . If Toews comes back , highly doubtful but if he does hewill play for his hometown Winnipeg Jets who have an opening at centre with Sean Monohan being UFA .
Can you see the lines as Benson Thompson Kane Peterka Cozens Quinn Skinner Kulich Tuch Greenway Krebs Dakota Joshuaa (Skinner and Benson can change if that’s better
Benson will eventually mold into a top line player. Most likely he's a middle 6 forward... but hey, Evan Rodriguez is on the top line in the Stanley Cup finals....so, who knows?! 😂

Well stated and agreed 💯
Well said. Trust the process is something a lot of our negative fans don’t want to hear and can’t understand.
Totally agree. Byrum isn’t going to be cheap. Same with Peterka

No. No no no no no no. No. Stop it. No. Kane? No. Stop it. No. Absolutely not. No.
If it’s a one year contract - what does it matter
Kane has maybe 2 years at best left and finishing out of the playoffs in Buffalo is probably not how he sees his career ending. He will end up on one of the Florida teams, Vegas or Dallas.
Good point

Kane is a fantastic idea, i dont understand the chronically online Sabres fans hating on him
Kane never wanted to come to Buffalo ever! We dont want him now. Omg can you imagine if we won the cup with him on the roster? We won because of me. NO THANKS.
so you'd prefer not to win a cup? Idc who's on the team when we win a cup, I only care that WE WIN a cup before I die. I'm 45.
I wanted JT last year . He would a great fit.
How does this fit the parameters?
I agree with this only if, like you spoke about, we get rid of Skinner.
We need a vet...but hes not the one and you beyond wrong
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Kaner would help the PP and top 6 . But only for 2 yrs × 5 mill ......i dont want to block out the future of the Sabres Jiri , Rosen, Savoie and so on.
Kane, if happens, should be one year
@danevertt3210 I would prefer one myself. But idk if one gets it done. Honestly, I'm thinking 3 yr × 4.5 mill will be his next contract. Unless he goes back to the hawk's. I can see the hawk's giving him 3 yrs × 6 mill plus
@@Sabres1970 an I don’t want that
@danevertt3210 Nor do I. No way hard pass.
@@danevertt3210what's that gonna accomplish
Would love Kane … I think top line of lane Thompson kane skinner would score tons of goals
……the best goalie to ever live
‘06 would win though…….they were scary good
It’s crazy that we’re saying “we need power play help”, meanwhile we have a power play specialist
For crying out loud can we just sign the hometown guy already? Seems like we’ve had this discussion every offseason the past few years and people say he’s washed up. Then he goes out and proves he’s not washed up.
If a deal can get done that makes sense financially, please do it.
I think the 06 Sabres boat race the 99 Sabres at "home" and Hasek needs 50 saves to give the 99 team a chance.
Pass!
Will Wahlberg be in Rochester this year, or will he stay in Sweden?
I was down for last year and not down for it now 😂 interested to hear this
06 would win in 5 or 6 games. Hasek would steal one or two games. Other than that 06 team was overall so much better in every aspect. The speed alone would kill 99.

You need to put down the pipe buddy give him double give him nothing he had his chance last year screw him. There sre plenty of player's out there.

I think 06 was definitely a better team when healthy that being said Hasek could rob a game so it would probably be close but I’m going 06
Yea totally
Kane to Buffalo one year $1 million then we'll see how it goes. Other than that he can go pound sand
06 team was better. Hasek is gonna put up a fight though.
Wouldn’t want Kane if he were free. No thanks, the last thing this team needs is more soft and entitled players
Can you see the lines as Benson Thompson Kane
Peterka Cozens Quinn
Skinner Kulich Tuch
Greenway Krebs Dakota Joshuaa
(Skinner and Benson can change if that’s better
Peterka should be with Tage like end of last year
No.
No .....Tuck is a Top line winger . Benson ? On the top line ? Is this HCDG? No wayyyyyyyy
Benson will eventually mold into a top line player. Most likely he's a middle 6 forward... but hey, Evan Rodriguez is on the top line in the Stanley Cup finals....so, who knows?! 😂
P ⁿ
Hasek 🐐 Never Bet Against 🥅 'No Goal' 🧑🦯🐀
