I moved my post you quoted to the roster speculation thread. We can debate it there and avoid taking this thread even further OT.

I doubt he wants the coaching life. I think he wants to spend a lot of time with his wife and kids. Heck, his family has never moved to Buffalo before. I doubt that is in his plans, at least with the Sabres.

Shoulda got one game in
I hate their jersey, because I hate grey. But seeing the Sabres no longer own their pick, you may cheer for them.

Two years running of begging them not to take the bottom of the barrel, cheapest, last guy left after 31 teams pick their guy. Two years of atrocious option in net.
Now shit gets much more serious. Doing it again next year not only jeopardizes the development of a top prospect in Levi…but also wastes (another) year where your best players are young and many of them are cheap.
No more f***ing around.
Do it again and you have to be fired.

I won't hold my breath about GMKA getting another goalie for next year. I assume he will ride with 6K and Comrie . If he gets more D to help then I'll be alittle mollified. But are we sure it's a D problem and not our system though? I guess we'll see if he brings in some compentant blue liners and we're still a tire fire defensively next year.

No GM concerned with helping their franchise next year returns any of these goalies.
They have 0 NHL goalies for next year on this roster.
If his plan is UPL/Comrie…that’s dead
If his plan is Levi/one of them…that’s embarrassing
If his plan is Levi/A new bottom of the barrel guy who 31 teams pass on…that’s horrible
Get a f***ing NHL goalie. Adams has worked here for almost three full years. It’s on him.
I mean…holy crap. He’s been a GM for three seasons and doesnt have ONE NHL goalie on his roster heading into year four.

There's gotta be a site out there that measures odd-man rushes against and breakaways against.
Goaltending isn't helping.......but I still maintain that the major issue with allowing goals is our craptacular defensive "system". That is, outside of a couple....no forwards are even average defensively and most look like they couldn't be bothered to actually play defense.

Part if that is our tactics that stretch the team thin. If we start playing more conservative and back off forwards will probably look better defensively.
We always lose at least one man high.
There have been games where the whole 5-man unit comes back, makes sure they establish possession and are below the tops of the circles before turning to move as a group back up the ice. That seems to be more in line with how the staff is asking for them to play. That they aren't doing that and are instead leaving early to try to press offensively is getting them into trouble more and more often. Couple that with some defensemen who are struggling to play their position in their own zone and it's just hard to find a sound defensive game. It doesn't sacrifice their offense when they play that way but it seems like they think that it does and that's problematic.

A prominent name missing in that list is Connor Hellebucyk.
He has 1 year to UFA. Jets and Sabres are going in opposite directions. This Jets fan thinks the best plan is to trade him as part of a very necessary rebuild.
What would Sabres fans feel is a fair offer for one of the dominant goalies in the league?

I can't see Adams being in on Helly. He's UFA after next year and then will likely be looking for a long-term, high-money commitment. With Levi looming, I don't think KA will be able to justify paying the price to rent Helly for one year.
Saros/Demko/Vejmelka seem like better candidates for us -- 2-3 years to UFA. So if Levi needs more than a year in Rochester, we're covered until he's ready.........and don't need to pay a premium in BOTH acquisition cost AND money to do so (which is what Helly would be).
