Eh, are they though? We ain't in the playoffs with all that talent.Sabres are a very good drafting team though.

Let's see what the roster looks like next week before saying he can't do anything significant.
He will be fired next spring,How many offseasons are we going to say that?
They’ll be good, it’ll just take longer than we want. Ruff will have them in the playoffs in the next 1-2 years.Yeah, he's like Granato in that, but as a GM.
You do realize that buffalo has good top 6 talent but needs help in bottom 6.So, his plan turned out to be:
Stand pat. Sign a few washed up non entities. Hide behind Lindy Ruff.
Not with this GMThey’ll be good, it’ll just take longer than we want. Ruff will have them in the playoffs in the next 1-2 years.
Who is the playmaker in the top 6? I remain unconvinced Cozens is even a C. Please list out the 4 wingers you think are definitely in this year's top 6. One injury and they have no one to replace anyone.You do realize that buffalo has good top 6 talent but needs help in bottom 6.
The Sabres top 6 is essentially nothing but empty calories.You do realize that buffalo has good top 6 talent but needs help in bottom 6.
Likely will say bring in top talent as nf thus pushes players down....but the 4yh line on teams is not like the tu op 3 or top 4 lines.
They seemed to address this.
Let's see if they make trades for others like a 3C and RD
Maybe they trade Krebs snf Joker for a 3C and promote RyJo.

That's a bit much, I'm not expecting a one-handed Tage this season, Quinn can be a 200' game changer, JJP, Cozens, Benson all have more to come...Tuch will hopefully have his head on straight.The Sabres top 6 is essentially nothing but empty calories.
Tuch and Tage looked a lot better when Skinner was moved in favor of JJP. I think a big factor will be Tage, and how he starts the season. He started out slow the past 2 seasons and they really need him to be consistent out of the gate. Hopefully Quinn can stay healthy also, that would be a big plus.That's a bit much, I'm not expecting a one-handed Tage this season, Quinn can be a 200' game changer, JJP, Cozens, Benson all have more to come...Tuch will hopefully have his head on straight.
4th line looks fantastic...its the Zucker-Krebs-Greenway wildcard line we have no idea about really.
Krebs doesn't cut it as 3c.Tuch and Tage looked a lot better when Skinner was moved in favor of JJP. I think a big factor will be Tage, and how he starts the season.

I also agree with other posters that depth is a concern as guys like Krebs aren't going to cut it in the top 6 if there's an injury. Maybe Zucker can, but we will have to see.
Hate to break it to you but most teams have the same problems.Tuch and Tage looked a lot better when Skinner was moved in favor of JJP.

I would like to believe he knows he failed miserably and has no idea how to make the moves he needed to make and is putting out bullshit for public consumption/spin instead of admiting the truth.If Kevyn is as done and satisfied as he sounded, I will be tuning out except to come back and laugh at the clown when he is fired next year.
He is once again, SUPER REASONABLY CLOSE to a solid and respectable roster with all roles adequately filled and with depth, and he might once again be thrilled to fall short of those bars and let the season circle the drain directly because of that
If that's the case I'd like to think he would step down from his position and let someone else tryI would like to believe he knows he failed miserably and has no idea how to make the moves he needed to make and is putting out bullshit for public consumption/spin instead of admiting the truth.
