Even if you want to argue that it would still accomplish a lot by getting rid of the giant black cloud that is the longest no playoffs streak in NHL history. It would lift a giant weight off of the organization's back.

I said I think they're content with their group, and won't be bitter if Adams doesn't add. I know you're angry but you might want to try reading the post before responding.
The anger on here is laughable. Some of the most hilarious takes around here the past few days.

Sabres (66 points) are anywhere from the 18th-22nd team in the league.
What I find crazy is that so many posters and fans think the Sabres are 1-2 players away from a contender. We aren't. We need 10 more points right now to be in that conversation. If we were sitting at 76 points right now, we would be in 10th place and my expectation would be for KA to 'Go for it' and leverage future assets to win now.
I love this season, but I won't let a bunch of couch GMs convince me anything but this season as a success.

Fabbro has never averaged 20 minutes a night for the Preds. He's barely above 16 minutes a game this season.
I do not get the takes that he is a lock to be a solid top 4 D for the Sabres.
I definitely view him as a change of scenery lottery ticket that would be worth maybe their lowest 2nd or the LAK 3rd. But, that's it for me.

if buffalo use one of their 1sts last year on a RD I would agree with you because the players should be ready to step in before the 24/25 deadline.
tests is why I preferred D who had 3-4 yr term left who were under 26. We need this years 1st to drsft a RD.
the other issue with chy is his 8n jury history and he’s not as much of a def first Dman.
rosen+23 1st….no. Not moving both for a 2+ yr rental

They don't see that cloud. They're kids, they weren't alive for most of it.
They see nothing but positivity since they've just outperformed every professional prognosticator on how they'd do this season. They might even make the playoffs when the odds were under 5% at the outset.

And I was responding with questions about fit. Just because a team has a surplus of NHL D does not mean that any of the ones they might be open to moving would be a fit here.
Adam Larsson would look great next to Power. But, that's not happening.

That’s not what people think.
They think we are many many players away and have a GM who refuses to start finding any of them.

The way I see it is even if we’re shuffling deck chairs on the titanic with the blue line, we know that 3/6 starters are actively bad. It can’t make things any worse to try something new.

Stillman isn’t a lotto ticket. He’s a used scratch off that already lost

Skinner.. who has never been in playoffs

I don't believe that Adams views it that way.
I don't believe Boosh is bad. And I don't believe that Adams views Jokiharju or Bryson as bad.

I don't need to get guys better than them now if the plan is to use the assets gained now to get the guy you want in the off-season. But I digress... I'm not really interested in debating the particulars of and specific move at this time, only that it'd be nice if there was some sign of some plan other than.... Keep waiting....

Gotta get those players AHL eligible so they can not make the playoffs there either.
because…stop me if youve heard this one…the defense is terrible.

This is literally a lie. Nobody had said we were 1 or 2 pieces from being a contender

The first part is fine. when healthy hes done what is asked on the third pair.
the latter, if true, dooms this franchise for the foreseeable future.

I'd pay a 3rd for JVR.
If Adams isn't...I don't know what assets of ours are available...Future Considerations? 7th round picks?

No, I don't agree. This is just about getting some help so they can continue to stay relevant and grow.
