I think Seattle is the easier win so ride UPL in Detroit and in Seattle.. Levi in Vancouver then UPL the rest of the way

I really don’t get the hope that some are feeling. I mean, good tor anyone that has that but I just don’t see it. 4-3 in March and about to go on a 5 game roadie. Not calling tor it today but I will say at the end of the road trip I foresee a big dose of reality being administered to some fans.
I really hope I’m wrong but I have no faith in this team.

Makes me shudder a bit but it’s been working. Need Jeff to stay engaged down there and Tage to wake up.

4-2-1 in March. And ended February 4-1. So they're 8-3-1 in their last 12. UPL has been the best goalie in the league since the new year, and Bowen Byram and Ras Dahlin are currently of the most effect defensive pairs in the league. You don't get it thats fine. But I'm not sure why you feel obligated to sharing these negative Nancy thoughts. Am I "expecting" the playoffs? No. Am I expecting to see them play sustained competitive hockey for the rest of the season and make it interesting? Yes.

Literally everyone in this thread knows it'll be a uphill battle lol.. Something like 10% chance or some shit
Hop on some anti depressants and enjoy watching some quality Sabres hockey

I cant believe this franchise chooses to lock Krebs into the 5th most important forward spot when he has never shown even a glimpse that he would be decent at it relative to good teams' 3C defensive centers
Even if they like him, they don't have to say publicly that he gets the spot 6 months before the competition is even supposed to start. They not only won't look to upgrade it, they aren't even going to try to give him competition

How are you feeling a few hours later?
This team is what they are. A soft, perimeter team that can compete when the other opponent doesn’t play with an edge.

It is...but the front office decided who to trade based on contract situations and pre-conceived notions.

It's almost as if we are run by people who are absolutely unqualified for the positions they hold or something.
Who knew that the "legend of Krebs" band leaders were in the Sabres FO? To be more serious, it's typical for a GM to orchestrate a previous acquisition into a more prominent role whether they deserve it or not. The ole' self-affirming move. KA can't be serious if he just goes after a 4C this summer.

Getting angry about summer moves in the middle of March is a new one

Are you new here?
The time to get mad about potential summer moves is all season long.
I believe it was just "GM speak" when answering a tough question about "how does the team, which is short on center depth, replace a prominent center you just traded away?".
The reality is that Krebs now has a 20 games audition for the part. If he fails, I would hope that Adams realizes that he should at least try to address the position by adding some competition for camp
I wouldn't read too much into statements made by any GM when trying to defend against the media, who are paid to often play devil's advocate and ask tough questions.

This is the same thing people said last March. And then the summer moves never came.
When the GM says what he's looking at doing over the summer, in March, we should wait to comment. Too soon.
You are remembering last March and last Summer differently than I am. Or maybe our realities are just different.
I remember Last March, the team had that 2-10 stretch when Sammy went down, and Granato playing Bryson on the top pair and playing his 3rd D pairing 10 minutes a game, and often less, (dropping to a sometimes ridiculous 5 and 8 minutes when the season was on the line) and myself saying, "Adams has to upgrade the defensive depth".
And then in the Summer, I remember Adams adding 3 new D that brought more experience and skill to the position and depth chart.
I guess for posters who were screaming for a long-shot top pairing upgrade, that reality didn't happen, but I don't believe that was ever realistic to begin with, given the list of available players and NMCs around the league.
