The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[MagnumForce2]

But if we do trade Cozens…:I could live with a Marner type trade regardless of what he does when he leaves here. I just don’t want to give Toronto the historic Buffalo trade luck and have them win the Cup this year

Mitts was public enemy number 1 on these forums what are you talking about? When Mitts was struggling 2 years ago people wanted him gone for scraps. The same people wanting Cozens gone are the same people who wanted UPL/Mitts gone. Both those guys turned it around here soon after.

You essentially want to repeat the cycle of developing our young guys & trading them away because they struggle at 23 years old. Then you wonder why we suck.

We've just been a farm team for other organizations. I want to do the opposite for a change. I want to keep the young guys we developed.

"Look for hockey trades to shake up this roster, they're not going anywhere with this players."

Yea heard the same stuff about our last core that has won multiple cups already.

When he was buried on the third line with Olofsson? But we didn't trade him and he break out, and then we traded him for some reason when we didn't have to. Where's the logic in that?

Yes, we need trades or do you disagree?

Why should we wait and develop youth? We need good players here and now, do it right for once. We have a legit NHL coach after Housley, Krueger and Granato, but he has no resources, why should he coddle young players? He's running out of patience. Build a roster that looks like a playoff team, not this crap.

Rosen has been consistently good in Rochester and great as of late. Do you think it’s time to give him a look on the Sabres? I realize that much like Kosak, there isn’t a spot for him.

Yes and people wanted him gone. How do you not understand that? People here thought he was soft and not capable of being a C in the NHL. Reminds me of someone.

Don't be dishonest. I didn't say anything about not trading. I said don't trade the young guys we developed. We have a ton of prospects/picks available for trade.

How do you think we get good players? Like c'mon dude lmao. We have to draft our good players. We don't have the luxury of getting Artemi Panarin to sign here in FA or Matthew Tkachuk wanting to come to Buffalo. We would've made the playoffs already if we just kept some of our young guys instead of moving them out because "that core wasn't good enough"

You just want them to repeat the cycle. I want them to break it.

The solution is never sticking more young players in the lineup Rosen already played one game and was invisible most of the time.

But if I’m not mistaken, he played on the 4th line with limited minutes.

 

[OkimLom]

Can someone confirm, Is there a GDT for today’s game I’m not seeing?

Pretty sure he got up with the 2nd line...

Stickied at the top, but opened by beerz, might have them on ignore?

I’ll check, don’t see a reason to ignore beerz if that’s the case.

I did select show ignored in case I accidentally clicked ignore thread.

Rosen with 2 goals and an assist through 2 periods tonight

 

[toddkaz]

I hope we see Quinn in the lineup and sit Peterka's ass.

 

[Dreakon13]

When Adams gave out those big contracts, he was really hoping this would be a young, talented, high octane offense... but they're just so slow and easy to push around. If they don't lose the race to pucks, and they usually do, they lose the battle.

We basically need to get rid of our second line, push our top line down, and go buy a new actual top line somehow. And go get a player that can be whatever Sammy is supposed to look like as a finished product.

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

This was the year Adams did his best going for the playoffs. With him failing hard , they need to fire him directly without waiting any longer as what he build clearly not working . Any rumors he is gone soon ? Is he the worst gm we had ever ?

First pick this year draft good ?

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

Start a new rebuild?

Trade following players
Cozens
Zucker
Tuch
Greenway
Quinn
Samuelsson
Clifton
Byram
Joki

So just repeat the same things the last GMs did? Stripping the entire roster away & wondering why a core of kids can't carry the team to the playoffs in 3 years?

 

[Chainshot]

Second year Adams banked his hopes on a 2nd line that has been unable to rise to the pressure.

No , half are good players and many others could be ADAMS shouldn't Be allowed to do anything he should become botterils assistant

NOBODY in buffalo is watching a rebuild , INVESTIGATE . EVERY aspect of this hire pres and GM this team is not that bad

dahlin really made a difference but too much stick checking and indifference

there is more going on This blows

Second year Adams banked his hopes on a 2nd line that has been unable to rise to the pressure.

This is the sanity take

Everyone knew they needed another top 6 forward(preferably a center)and RHD. Kevyn did Kevyn stuff. F*ck he was gifted a RHD(Fabbro)a couple weeks ago and wouldn't even take it.

Good organizations don't gift or count on rookies to take top 6F, top 4D spots(especially with cap space). Moron can't figure that out
