Speculation: Sabres Roster Speculation - Pre-season 2023 Edition

[Dingo44]

We're still debating Okposo?

Great. Let him do it from the press box. We need on ice experience
We need to strip the loser tank mentality right now.

He can't display his on ice experience from the press box...

 

[newfiejesus]

Why is it a no brainer?
He was already not himself before the surgery.
And that surgery as some stated before not many came back at the same level.
No matter in which direction you look it isnt a good fit.
I am not one of those who care about his past behaviour but I care about on ice performance and fit.
Performance is questionable.
And he is bad at what we actually need.
We were already 3rd in goals but awful on D.
And despite his initials Patrick Kane cant PK.

I'm not seeking him out and begging him to join the team, and "if he can keep up" is bearing a lot of weight in my post. Every surgery and patient is different. It's not like the case of Eric Staal a few years ago. 3 cups and a Conn Smythe winner... if you don't think he's worth a look, well shucks, that's just fine. I doubt Adams feels the same.

It's kinda funny how strongly people are talking about Kane on both sides of the coin. It's a relatively minor prospective addition. The risk is low. The reward is likely modest. It wouldn't happen for some time. It's not a big deal either way you slice it.

Close to league minimum, one year, some lofty performance bonuses, mix him in and out as needed for him and the roster, Bob's yer uncle, Gladys is your aunt, sit, trade or waive if it doesn't work. Thus, a no-brainer unless Kamp Kane has silly ideas for his next deal. Can even put it off for a few months, give some other teams a chance to either sign him or make him a bit desperate.

If anyone is living or dying over Kane being a Sabre, then they're ridiculous. It's a thing to post about.

They always do.

0 Lombardi Trophies
0 Stanley Cups


Kane's incident with the Cabby pre-dates the Sabres playoff drought.

Maybe we can treat it like The Babe and the “curse” to the Red Sox…Kane breaks the “curse” and we win!!!

Seems like doom and gloom season comes earlier and earlier each year.

I'm very sad to hear the Sabres are already out of contention before even completing pre-season play.

I bet I can find this pithy response to discussion of real issues each of the last dozen years.

Guess what? Blind faith doesn’t upgrade defense and goaltending.

Neither does Kevyn Adams

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Then why did they resign Okposo?

I wouldn't have, but I get why they did.

Was Rayzor looking extra chonky between the benches tonight

Some interesting players on the waiver wire. Waive Bryson and pick up Marcus Bjork for Rochester and an injury callup.

If you claim a player off waivers, you have to keep him on the active roster, so Bjork couldn't go to Rochester.
