You're pretty much being set up for failure with the Sabres. It will never change with their current ownership.

In the meantime, it's time we call about Dahlin/Power/Thompson. Gotta cash in while you can.

What has their owner done to warrant the criticism? Honest question....I havent read/heard anything at all.

For anyone suggesting to grab Owen Power, I suggest you watch him for a game or two.

He is awful and so ineffective.
Kuznetsov is playing better than him.
I don't think it is a situational thing either...this guy doesn't have it. Do not want.

But I would happily trade for Helenius, Kulich or Ostlund.

They are rich. If you are rich, you are terrible people and ruin everything.

Why today? Why not last offseason, or the offseason before?

I do think Kekalainen is an upgrade. I mean better to do something than nothing…… right?? RIGHT?

Hmmm…

Also time for ol’ Pegula to take some responsibility. Zero chance this cluster is all on his administration like come on now. But he’s a billionaire so doesn’t have to got it.

I'd imagine with the fun he's having with the Bills and their new stadium that he forgets he even owns the Sabres.

If Conroy can grab Konsta Helenius from Buffalo, I'd be extremely happy.

Helenius and Zac Jones for Razz. Yes. Yes that'll do.

The nice thing about a new gm is he isn’t nearly as invested in their top prospects/guys that another guy wanted

A plus for Buffalo fans is that it probably means Ruff won't be the GM anytime soon. OTOH, I doubt players will be waiving their NTCs to play under Jarmo any more than they were prepared to do while Adams was in the captain's seat.

A recent Athletic fan poll saw Sabres ownership ranked 32/32 in every category: willingness to spend, organizational stability, treatment of fan base and franchise vision.

Agreed about Power. He is nowhere near what he was projected to be. A 6'6" powderpuff.

The joke earlier was Babcock.

That being said, he tried that once, he might try it again.

I think people just like that he's active more than anything.

Really hope he comes in and tries to shake stuff up in Buffalo. At .500 they aren't even completely out of it in the east right now.

Yes, that's why. But they hate Treliving for the same thing.

That's a team in desperate need of a veteran like kadri. but you have to think hes blocked a trade there. Andersson won't resign there so he doesnt make sense as a target for them.

I feel like if kadri would go there though this is the kind of gm would would deal a kings ransom for him

Well I think they mostly had Treliving because of how he managed Gaudreau and Tkachuk.

And I think Columbus fans hate Jarmo because of how handled Bob and Panarin (among other things)
