Dahlin giveaway to an ENG. This team/organization is an embarrassment to the city. Dahlin shouldn’t be captain. Didn’t earn it. No one earns anything on this team or crap even organization (Adams, Appert, Forton)

The issue here is that in talking in terms of roster construction, player styles, he wasn't completely wrong, but in terms of actual ability of the roster stinks
Every single person knew he needed to add to the top six.

Everyone

That’s without even getting into Joker’s return and the never ending wait for an actual defenseman
 
Time to start making massive changes.

If these guys don’t want to play…get them the f*** out of here.

It’s embarrassing to watch Benson and Kulich out effort everyone else every night
It's that the core are ALL dumb and aren't in position to make plays. I don't think it's a lack of effort ... just a lack of savvy play. Tage, Cozens, Tuch, Peterka are all out of their element where they are in the lineups. Most of these guys are middle six talents.

It just shows the bottom 6 revamp has no influence on the game.

He spent the offseason fixing a position that did nothing.

Its a huge failure.
 
We literally cannot beat the Islanders when they play like that and the refs let them. We don’t have the size or personnel to skate through the holding, cross checks and interference. What a boring awful team.
 
If we’re going to lose this badly anyway they should really rest Dahlin and Tage until they are much closer to 100% healthy
 
Its not the coach fault now , Lindy knowing and having records being able taking his team to playoffs , they need to change the roster in some ways
And that happens at the pace of one not meaningful enough move per year.

It rots from the head. Cut the f***ing head off.

Don’t think I want the bum to even be allowed to make trades.

Look at the Eichel and Reinhart trades. Brutal.

Honestly, Thompson doesn’t come close for me as a top line center for me. This is going to come off as blasphemy, but I’d look to move him. Aside from PP shooting, he doesn’t do much, turns the puck over trying to do too much, and isn’t physical.
He was tied for the league lead in goals before injury and still looks banged up.

Also well known Sabres players value is not high around the league. Can't make deal if no one wants your players either.

I thought before the injury he was playing his best two-way hockey of his career. But yeah, he's been meh AF since returning to the ice.

I tend to agree ... trade him to Utah or something. I'll go back to what I was saying last year and say, you absolutely cannot have Tage and Cozens as your top 2 C's. There has to be a change in these ranks badly.
