Short term, this might suck if Comrie isn't solid.
Long term, this is absolutely the correct decision.

shocker to many, but a few saw the light on this
the dude has (substance ?) issues, no team is taking that chance at his salary (as many are up against the cap, so they would need to clear other players)

Noboby trades unprotected 1st rounders anymore. Why are Sabres fans, whose team is far form guaranteed to make the playoffs, so willing to put them into proposals?

We don't know what we don't know.
Adams may be working the phones on a trade that'd free up room. He just couldn't make it work in the time required.
A portion of this board freaked out at Adams' "lack of a plan" at goalie to start the season. We should learn from that situation. It's more than likely Adams has a plan.

But now what about when Jokiharju returns?!? It's Clague...Bryson...Fitzgerald...someone's gotta go! WHO WILL IT BE!?!?!?!?

It very well may be a paper transaction. Who knows?
But like Tampa, it's not like Adams is going to come out and tell everyone.

Paging @dotcommunism
How many transactions to teams get per season? I looked it up, but running out of time and need to start driving in a few.
thanks!

Here's my guess.
Tomorrow:
Quinn assigned to AHL. UPL plays against the Kraks.
Thursday:
Quinn goes back in lineup. UPL assigned. Comrie starts.
Unknown day: Joki back. Injured player to IR or Fitzgerald waived.
They don't want to give lose any depth to waivers if they don't have to with four games a week the next four weeks.

Shoulda got one game in
I’d do that trade for Peeke. Although I highly doubt Columbus does. Maybe if we swap Nadeau for Poltapov or Neuchev because Jarmo likes his Russians
But here come the real Sabres.
NHL playoff tiers and buyer/seller 2.0: Where does each team stand as we approach trade season?
As we approach the NHL season's midpoint, which teams look like they'll need a deadline boost and which ones are ready to call it a day?theathletic.com
Get ready for an All-Time NHL Record 12th consecutive year without playoffs.
And with the Sabres, things take time, let's draft another small forward strategy, we're entering unchartered territory without much confidence things will change anytime soon.
The good news is Terry Pegula won't stop until we win a cup... 2 in fact.

Giving away your first rounder if you're the Sabres with their draft track record outside of the first round essentially means punting away that respective draft.

Yeah, JJ Peterka and Mattias Samuelsson are trash.
The Sabres have signed five of the guys that have been drafted outside of the 1st round since Adams became GM.
2020 class: JJ Peterka
2021 class: Aleksandr Kisakov, Josh Bloom, Olivier Nadeau, and Tyson Kozak

A combination of good scouting, analytics, and development programs, is something the Sabres have not had together until recently. I don't think we should be judging our future drafts based on the track record of people and organizational systems that are no longer in play.
I feel opposite of you. Outside the first two tiers of 1st rounders, typically 1-3 and 2-9 ish, the NHL drafting 17-18 year olds is much more of a crap shoot. I would probably trade a 20th pick for a pair of mid 2nds every draft and let the odds work in my favor.

Few thoughts on the Sabres, not an over-reaction to last night's loss to the Flyers.
- Granato is riding the decades-old hockey success formula: have a great scoring line and follow up with a line that has a great center. It's serving the Sabres well.
- Having a trio like Dahlin, Power, and Samuelsson is going to continue to help drive the team. I'm not sure I remember a team with this type of group. Nashville?
- The kids are doing well, all-in-all
Some thoughts on what I'd do from here for forwards:
- Quinn and Peterka seem to be hitting the rookie wall. I'd paper move them to Rochester when UPL plays, and start to let them sit a bit. Rotate in Asplund and Hinostroza.
- Along with the previous thought, Adams needs to start thinking about reinforcing the Jost line. If Olofsson is playing the way he is, it's good. When Olofsson is floating, the Sabres are reliant on the Thompson line, Cozens, and Dahlin to score. They don't get a lot of secondary scoring, with Mittelstadt's recent run being the exception.
With these two points, here's what I'd do:
- Let the kid line stay together when Anderson or Comrie starts, and UPL gets paper moved to Rochester. When UPL is starting, rotate Quinn or Peterka to Rochester with a paper move. Krebs can be sat as well using a paper move.
- When one of the kids is out, rotate Mittelstadt up with Cozens and the rookie. That'd leave some combination of Olofsson, Jost, Asplund, and Hinostroza as a line. That's ok.
Some thoughts on what I'd do from here for defensemen:
- I think Adams found a good one in Clague, but I don't think he's a true top 4 defenseman. I'd much rather slot him as a 5/6 3rd pair type who can give the team reliable minutes.
- You can see some fatigue setting in, especially with Samuelsson. It's a lot to ask a 22 year old to take on a load which we usually see reserved for players like Hjalmarsson.
Here's what I'd do:
- When Jokiharju is healthy, Adams should send Fitzgerald to Rochester. I don't see him getting claimed, especially if Pilut didn't get claimed.
- I'd look for a trade to get a partner for Power. Fabbro is an ideal target. High end is Chychrun or Ekholm. Murphy and Gavrikov are others. Adams should really look to solidify his top 4.
- That's give the Sabres a rock solid top 4, give Samuelsson a little bit of a breather, and allow Granato to ice some combination of Clague, Jokiharju, Bryson, and Lyubushkin in the bottom pair, though one of them would likely be included in a trade.

I wonder if we see a lot of rotating of the lineup during this grinding stretch of games.
There will be at least some of that to facilitate the goalie rotation.

Five guys Adams has selected and he's also signed Weissbach, Rousek and Cederqvist drafted under the previous regime.

Adams is sticking with his process.
