Sabres, plz, plz, sign Dakota Joshua
He's my top choice as well.
I could totally see him coming
Dakota Joshua
I would be very surprised if Sabres got any of these free agents 😅
Changes have to be made, soft team!!
I believe that’s what Lindy’s role is here
Stamkos is 0% they need to add rfas into this mix as well . Hell I’d even offer sheet mittlestadt back lol 😂
Mr. Kevyn Adams if you are looking at this comment section please put together a 4th line of…
Carrier - Krebs - Trenin
Also sign Chandler Stephenson or Dakota Joshua for the 3C role.
I wish that Kane would retire so that we don't ever have to hear his name mentioned with the Sabres ever again. He's a punk, always been a punk. If Vancouver lefts Joshua get away they are nuts, love to see him in blue and gold.
Showtime is a fkn beauty bud who tf are you?
FACTS
Big physical defenseman
Duff has no freaking idea what he's talking about. Stamkos is never leaving TB for Buffalo! Guentzel isn't coming to Buffalo! The other possible choices are reasonable : Stephenson, Trenin, Joshua and Carrier.
duffers list is bruuuuuutal
If it weren’t for the goalies he’d definitely have the better list. Seems like he’s looking at those two for the Amerks. Outside of those his list is better than Marty’s
The free agency market rarely has value in it, but these lists were "VERY overly optimistic". In the sense that, the Sabres will not be competing for a Stanley Cup next year no matter who is added to the team via FA or via trades. You need players with TREAD left on their tires. You can't bring in someone like Kane and expect them to help. Or Stamkos, Duclair, etc. You need guys that have at least THREE years of their CURRENT level of play left.
There are simply TOO MANY young players on the team that are NOT ready...YET. Dahlin might be ready, but Power isn't. Cozens isn't. BOTH of your goalies aren't. They still need time. That's just a fact. You have other issues too, like an aging Skinner and other players who have to show they can play 82 games AND then run the GAUNTLET of FOUR rounds of playoff hockey and NOT get HURT (Thompson, Samuelsson, etc).
I would rather see a top 10 trade acquisition list with some players who aren't 34 years old. Adams has to make some trades to get what this team REALLY NEEDS. I think there was ONE player from Duffers and Marty's lists I liked. Guentzel, who will cost a fortune and not be worth it. Martinook, who had a nice playoff run. The rest are all old bald tires who will be in a junk yard by the time the Sabres are ready to make SERIOUS runs.
Brutal but honest part about signings and free agents - you can want the player, but the player doesn't always want the team. Unfortunately, Buffalo isn't very desirable at the moment. Other than journeymen trying to keep a paycheck, there's not much to love about coming here.
The brutal part is that free agents don’t want to play with all the AHL players on this NHL team.
Not yet but soon
Not true at all. Hall came here when he was the BPA in his UFA class. Money talks.
Pickard.... The Sabres who already have a 2 goalie dilemma with UPL + Levi you want to add a 32yr into the mix?🤦♂️
do you think the amerks can function without a goalie in net??? the pipeline still has players to develop and if levi is going to be backup for UPL next season then rochester needs a reliable veteran goaltender to man the fort for the developing forwards and defensemen
I'd like to see Levi stay in Rochester all year, unless UPL or the new backup get injured.
@@endertamer3273 Topias Leinonen? Scott Ratzlaff? Resign someone?
@@jeffreygrundtisch2014 Or just split it like this szn? Both played good but if we could actually score some goals once in awhile and we would be fine lol
Kane Thompson Tuch would be an ELITE 1st line in the league. Give him 3 years and let him ride into the sunset back home
If the Sabres want to win they need to trade for brady tkachuck, he’s the only one who can neutralize Matthew and the Florida panthers who are gonna be hard to beat for awhile.
Lets hope Adams sticks to his word and brings in some VETERANS with some abrasiveness. Sabres need a 3rd line centre and 1 or 2 wingers ( Kullich Rosen Savoie in Buffalo in Oct ??). UFA wise id be interested in Dakota Joshua Van, Ryan Lomberg FLA , Trenin Colorado, or Jake Debrusk Bos.
Question is does Adams will trade Buffalos first round pick 11th overall?
D wise i think Adams resigns Jokiharju and lets Clague and Bryson walk and Ryan Johnson becomes a full time Sabres in October. IMO id move on from Jokiharju and try and bring in a stay at home D man like Pesce , Tanev or Josh Brown Arizona all UFA & right shooting D man who would partner Owen Power. Id then put Samuelsson with Clifton on the third pair and have Ryan Johnson as the 7th D .
Thanks for the video!
I’d like a Russian-Buchnevich or Vladdy Tarasenko! 🇷🇺
Duffer started off rough but got better.
Need patty kane
Kane is the LAST thing Buffalo needs. We have enough skilled, small, soft guys who shy away from physicality. No thanks!
How many of these guys would you have to seriously overpay to come to buffalo? Do you think top players would choose to come here willingly? The answer is NO
Correction. Hell No. Is the real answer.
I wish people would take this into account when hating on Adams. Adams has built our team on a path that might be the only way to success.
@@bjarczyk soft AHL players will never win in the nhl.
Not many. I mean more than half the list are guys that are bottom 6 forwards or a bottom pair D. Star players are like any other you show them $ and they’ll come. Look what happened with Hall, or even Okposo and Ehrhoff back in the day. Everyone’s got a price.
As long as the Pegulas own this team, the Sabres aren't going anywhere. I've said it before and I'll say it again. This playoff drought is gonna hit 20 years. Mark my words
A nice veteran to help these kids, Necas would be great, but man would Buffalo love Marner.
I don't think toffoli is a good fit with Sabres.
Why do you say that? I don’t have much of an opinion on Toffoli either way. Just wondering what your thoughts are here.
@tvcooper12 Well, I watched him play with kings for several seasons. Very streaky player. Doesn't offer much when not scoring. Just my opinion.
@@biglebowski3961 sounds like he’s similar to Skinner then. Great when he’s putting the puck in the net but doesn’t contribute much else defensively and quite lackluster overall if he’s not bumping his point totals up. Fair comparison?
@tvcooper12 Skinner might actually be a bit more productive. I would rather get Ehlers from jets. Heard he might be available.
Stamkos would have leadership too
Is the Sabres organization capable of producing a successful playoff competitive team? Many hockey people think it's in dire need of a complete overhaul from top to bottom, similar to what the Bills did when they hit the jackpot by hiring talented, intelligent coaches and g.m.. Are the Sabres a serious N.H.L. organization capable of constructing a first rate competitive roster at this point is the question.
Horrible list.
Forget all the free agents, you’ll pay too much to get them to Buffalo. Give up whatever you have to and go get Brady Tkachuk. Give up the prospects that are going to take 3-4 years to see the show and go get a gritty hard nose playoff built player!
Also no more “locker room guys” for Pete’s sake
