I’m 2 shows in and it’s clear this will be my go to Sabres podcast. I’m glad you guys covered the defense. I like the talent but the pairs are funky. I guess it’s who fits best with Power and then go from there. It’ll be interesting to see what Lindy comes up with.
@@grumpyscott17 thanks Scott. The defense is a little funky. At the end of day in terms of minute munching, Samuelsson and Byram to me are better options than Jokiharju. Sometimes I forget that we only saw Joki elevated at the end of the season because Samuelsson wasn’t available.
Best pod out there for me. I just had a long drive with the family, so I put in one ear pice and pressed played, all the commotion and nagging got drowned in the awesomeness of you two.
Rosen is consistently a good player, both on defense and offense. He is the only Amerks that performed in the playoffs. Rosen also sets up a ton of Kulich chances that don’t end up in the back of the net. I feel Rosen is underrated.
In summary, the Sabres parted ways with a 2nd round pick, a 1st round pick (#9 pick in the 2022 draft Savoie) and in return they got a bottom six center (McCleod) and a 4th line winger (Malenstyn). Kevyn Adams is really fleecing the rest of the NHL? And you wonder why the Sabres have struggled under Adams leadership? Why did they draft Savoie if they had no room for him? This is ridiculous logic.
Imagine not being able to comprehend the value of trading unproven NHL Prospects for proven NHL'ers who fill needs, play roles and have playoff experience. They drafted a prospect in Savoie to acquire value to then trade and acquire NHL ready talent. It sounds like you're the one with ridiculous logic that's struggling under Adams leadership. In summary, neither Matt Savoie nor the 2nd rounder traded for Malenstyn were making this roster and playing under Lindy Ruff.
@@krt88nc Maybe the Sabres should have asked themselves that question? Don't burn down your own house and then complain you're homeless. It's your fault.
@@nevadaxtube Sabres did not burn down their house they traded a second-round pick and their 3rd or 4th rated prospect that's not burning down the house.
Thanks guys - do you think Adams is done? I never bought the Necas/Ehlers nonsense, but Farabee seems like a realistic target. Appert named him captain of USNTDP, thinks highly of him, Sabres fan from Syracuse (hello Alex Tuch 2.0) and a left wing with big upside IMO: He’s never played with players like Tage/Tuch and has still produced. With Byram’s contract coming up and Krebs losing his spot, could see us shipping out Samuelsson+Krebs for Farabee, lot of money for 4 Dmen and Sammy can’t stay healthy. Philly has reportedly looked closely at Krebs, and Sammuelson would be a great fit for them as a player+his Flyers connection. Seems too obvious to miss… Farabee makes this a serious playoff contending team. Sammy will be missed, but Ryan Johnson is ready to play and we signed an abundance of NHL depth d-men. Any local rumbling about this move?
Hey not to be negative -but this move makes a lot of sense and would be perfect, but unfortunately for that reason it will never happen. Adams and the decision makers are absolutely mucked in the head.
@@Jamroy27 I very much like Farabee and definitely see the logic as laid out in your comment, and I’m all for continued chaos to reshape. I’d like to be wrong, but I feel that now Adams has already done a reshaping of key roles, that he may be a bit more methodical with his next tweaks. Just my gut feeling.
@@jackb8598 I will like the offseason moves if they conclude with something like this. Zucker (especially) and Benson are not top 6 forwards who produce consistently enough (Benson will eventually). But in reality I expect some ridiculous thing like we deal Krebs for a 4th round pick now that he’s disgruntled losing his spot and buddy on the team all in one go… can’t imagine him signing here as a 13th forward
What about the Lindy Factor? Also I believe we'll be better defensively which bodes well for UPL and Levi. Face-offs should be better. What prospect will make the club. Will Krebs perform better. I am excited to see this team take the ice. These guys know they are under the gun. Can Power take another step and maybe get mean ? So many ifs but I'm feeling optimistic 🏒
Great podcast!

@@SabresprospectsThanks for the reply. Let’s hope Lindy can get the most out of Samuelsson. A modern day Rhett Warrener would be quite a boost.
I'd like to know what you thought of Savioe's Memorial Cup showing. I felt he didn't show much.
Best pod out there for me. I just had a long drive with the family, so I put in one ear pice and pressed played, all the commotion and nagging got drowned in the awesomeness of you two.
Hahaha, that’s awesome.
Great episode. Thanks for the insight.
Fairburn has kind eyes.
Why is the assumption Kulich is ahead of Rosen? Isak has a more complete game, and he vastly more responsible defensively.

Where are all the prospects suppose to play?

Does Fairburn smoke a lot of pot??? He looks high all the time lol
Would you rate Krebs above Savoie. Maybe they should have offered Krebs and a draft pick maybe.

@@Jamroy27 oh for sure. Krebs in my eyes is addition by subtraction.
not a political stance, its religious
Middelstat will be the next one to win a cup.
Look what happened to Reinhart and Montour. Seems the only way any Sabre wins a cup is by being traded to another team.
