Wouldn’t mind A girgensons robinson and another fast simple playing free agent fourth line next season
Girgensons olofsson Skinner untradeable
Kyle was okay. But history will judge Okposo's Sabres career as solidly mediocre and ridiculously overpaid. If Adams loves him so much they should get an apartment together in the off season. I've been following the Buffalo Sabres since 1971-72. This season has been one of the most frustrating seasons I can ever remember. The lack of disinterested play from 90% of the players this year was sickening. Dedicated long time fans are getting tired. Count the empty seats.
I feel like Dahlin still could make more of an impact on offense. Thompson too, to me Thompson has been awful in comparison to last season. It’s almost like he’s forgotten the abilities he has to skate to the net and make that extra play.
No thanks to Girgenson , its time to move on , thanks for your service. In Oct , Greenway and Eric Robinson on the 4th line with a new veteran centre with an emphasis on grit and toughness . These two need to use their size more!
Glad Adams said he wont be afraid to trade picks and prospects for a centre this summer and also said he is still undecided on Krebs returning .
This GM is a joke ,listening to him talking tells you that he has no clue how to build a team. This franchise is doomed with this guy as a GM.he gambled on the guys that he overpaid with long term contracts, and it looks like it was a mistake to put all the trust in them . Hard to be a fan of this team .
I loved Kyle as a person, glad he's been traded off the team. It was time to move on during the off-season
Lets be real, the only reason Okposo was a Sabre for along as he was is that NHL teams love signing players to long unmoveable contracts.
Im surprised Girgs didn't get traded . Teams in the playoff race missed out on a hard skater , grinder type player. Decent 4th liner especially roster depth for the playoff push.
Happy to see kyle & EJ go to playoff teams and off our roster.
Joe FYI-Krebs sucks as our 3rd line C . He will never fill Mitts skates. Krebs needs to go elsewhere.
Dalhin will wear the C now or Tuch
Calm down, Joe
Hahahaha
“You’ll never hear me talk about him again, no potential whatsoever “
You got that right
My guess is Boston was the only team to offer good value for girgensons and Adam’s didn’t want to trade him in the division more so than okposo because girgensons still has some years left
The fourth line veteran well liked forward is not the reason they haven't made the playoffs for this long. You're saying the team is sentimental, but you like the player, but it's a fan service thing…similar to your UPL take
Are you kidding me Dalhin!!! He has the worst +/-. If he gets the C i am done with the Sabres.
That Ellis/Okposo/girgensons rant has been probably your best take so far.
The boys club mentality of giving Matt Ellis a coaching job is ridiculous. It's immensely frustrating that a guy who couldn't hit a soccer net from the faceoff dot during his career is running the powerplay when there was definitely better coaching candidates out there.
What gets me is that they treated Okposo like he was the captain of this team for 10 seasons and he was a perennial hart trophy candidate during that time.
Scoring more goals than your opponent wins games not being "a locker room guy" if you want to fix a losing culture don't offer coaching and captaincy positions to losers
Long overdue housecleaning has begun.
Big addition by subtraction.
Feel much better about the team moving forward.
A young team full of potential. I love the Byram addition.
When is the trade deadline for ownership and behind the bench management like coach and GM … this team will be deadlined until that happens
Pegula bought this team to watch the guys shower. The ones that put on a locker room show have jobs for life.
Glad to hear I am not the only one that feels like all the Love and praise Okposo is getting is completely unwarranted. A Sabres Organization praising and parading around 8 years of not making the play-offs in supposed great Okposo leadership is a joke.
After that press conference I realized Adams is the problem. You need to put the organization first if you are GM. This guy tries to trade the players to teams they want to go to. That is not what is best for the organization.
All these players do far better after they are traded. Because they are expected to perform at a NHL level and achieve their potential.
On this team we always have to elevate and compete more because they are not professional winners. I have nothing against Girgensons but we want this team to make the playoffs like they did when they had serious GM and coaches.
Okposo was part of the group that said we won’t salute fans if they are not happy with the losing coach.
We need a full culture change starting with a captain and coach whose objective is to win the cup and move heaven and earth to do so.
This tells me that this organization is just a bunch of buddies. Matt Ellis…. Etc… our team is ran by 4th liners!
Every other team in the NHL even the last place teams look better on the ice than Buffalo
If they make Zemgus captain, I'm done
I believe they need to get coaches that have won big. I think Peca leaving was seriously bad. Bring some assistant coaches in with experience in winning and grittiness. What is LaFontaine doing these days, What happen those 2 other times. How about Stu Barnes what is he up to ? What is JP Dumont doing? Audette ?
Joe I was laughing my but off when you were ranting on Girgs. I couldn’t agree more.
The reason why this franchise does not operate more like a business and smothers players like Girgs and Okposo with praise is because they feel they have to. We have to run on nice gestures, good vibes, family and all that crap to make us seem like a desirable destination because we need to compensate for being a loser franchise. No player with an NTC/NMC is coming here; Terry Pegula throughout his tenure has made sure of that. He is to hockey team owners what Ralph was as a coach.
It's really only the last two years, as the captain, that Okposo made any impact. Mittlestadt was soft as butter in July. Glad to see those two gone.
Flyers have turned the corner after being horrible….Flyers GM and Coach huge upgrade to Sabres duo.
I am convinced that as long as Terry Pegula owns this franchise we are not going to win a Stanley Cup. He runs this team like a fan and that's nice that he's close to some players but at the end of the day it is a business. As such if your assets are not returning dividends ie. a Stanley Cup then you move those assets to turn into future assets. You don't keep a Girgensons around because you "like the guy" and expect things to change in the winning department. You don't keep an Olofsson around and expect to win. Is it any wonder not one dam team wanted Olofsson but for some reason Adams err I mean Pegula won't buy out this useless excuse of a so-called hockey player. And Okposo. Yes I really like Okposo as a person but heck I'm a nice person does that mean if I'm good friends with Pegula I can play for his toy hockey team. No this team is not even in the NHL until we make the playoffs and I'm beginning to be convinced as long as Terry keeps owning this team I won't see a Stanley Cup for Buffalo in my lifetime.
Some of the reactions or "hot takes" that I'm hearing are ridiculous. We are criticizing management for caring about the people who work for and with them. One does not have to be cold-hearted to build a good team in any endeavor. I'm disappointed in the season, but is Kevin Adams responsible for Tage Thompson's goal production tracking to be half of last year's? Getting a 4th for Johnson was decent. Our defensive core is shaping up to let us play like the Red Army teams from the 80s. Let's see what the next offseason brings. (Hopefully a return to form from Thompson and Cozens at the least.
I can’t wait to watch the same team again next year, watching Greenway play more minutes(most nights) than Quinn, Peterka and Thompson…how exciting!
Watching Girgensons for another 4-7 seasons, before his career is over it will be 20 years he’s played zero playoffs
You traded Mittelstadt which shows the up down misguided view of what you trade from a team. Role players like Krebs, Okposo, and Girgensons are the type of players you trade. Mittelstadt should still be on this team. The Sabres now have to replace him with what a newbie who will take three years to get to his level. Krebs is a role player and shortly over time fans and yourself will be calling for him to be traded "because it just didn't work out."opportunity to moved an over valued player like Krebs for a much better player becoming a buyer instead of a seller. Sadly the Sabres were once again a seller which means you are one of the bottom feeders in this league. Florida and Colorado are toasting their good fortune that Buffalo is in the NHL as a player development program for the well run clubs. Thankfully your crazy idea of trading UPL wasn't fulfilled. You want this team to be better then become objective and watch them not as a fan but as an impartial observer. Refrain from drinking otherwise toss that game in the trash if you had a beer because you will have a cloudy recollection.
Yeah it's painfully obvious Adams doesn't have the stones for this job…
Jesus Joe, our fans are so addicted to looking for anything negative right now and you’re feeding right into it. I have respect for Okposo and Girgensons. They stuck by us through our darkest times and could have asked to be traded at any time.
Mitts said his first practice with the AVS was the first time he sweat in a morning skate in a long time. I have heard this several times from players leaving. It shows on the ice too
Dont forget Bob Corkum deal
Gilbert Perreault, 16 years, franchise player. What about him?
Okposo should be apologizing for how little he lived up to his contracts here.
You’re right a veteran doesn’t need to show them how to practice the coach does in our coaches soft
Strange how upper management can become attached, and in some cases delusional, about certain players. Reminds me of Brandon Beane and Gabe Davis…….
I like Zemgus. I want him to stay
We have so many players locked up long term. It’s not about doing something new (we can’t do something new, we’re handcuffed) it’s about Thompson, Power and Cozens producing the way that they need to.
