Good video. Think you nailed it with the Sabres not playing team defence. No doubt that's why Ruff was brought back into the fold. Would rather see Sabres get an experienced tandem goalie, let Levi develop more in the AHL. They have to replace Middlestadt up front, not an easy feat to find good centers. If Sabres can improve team D without seriously sacrificing the offence, they can maybe make the playoffs. Have to get it done somehow, fans have had enough at this point.
The Sabres still did make massive improvements in team defense in January till the end of the season. I believe it will highly improve under Lindy Ruff.
They definitely did, but there is still a ways to go in order to find that balance between team defense and offensive production. Lindy will absolutely help with that!
Take UPL to arbitration. Lock him in for a yr, preferably 2. Let him prove the past season wasn't a fluke. If he pans out resign to an additional 3 or 4 yrs. If he doesn't. Hope that Levi is as advertised.
Yup, poor estimation on my end. The kid has played well this past season (for the most part) and I failed to dive deeper into his actual stats which...is usually a good indicator as to a ballpark salary figure. Probably looking like 1.5 million/year AT MOST for a couple years. My apologies on that oversight and thank you for the comment!
Enjoyed the video, keep it up!

Thanks! I agree with every point you made! Hopefully there is light at the end of the long tunnel for Buffalo fans

Tuch is from Syracuse..
True, I may have misspoke so my apologies for that. He grew up a Sabres fan
Sabres have 3 number 1 defenseman. Dahlin is #1 D already . Power is on his way and Byram should be there this upcoming season.

If Bryson gets 4.5 million I’ll never watch another game
Me nether
I dont think he will ve offered at all. If he does it's an AHL CONTRACT

Krebs was part of the Jack (off) trade
