Krebbie better get a shot at center, last game he played only 10 minutes or so. Give the guy a chance to replace Minnesota Fats. They are probably not done making trades
I feel since the GM had zero contract talk with Mittens that means he feels Savioe, Kulich, Benson, Krebs or Ostlund can replace Casey as center soon. I think Savioe will be the guy.
Bryam has 8 goals, Casey 13, Byram had 10 last year in 42 games a pace of almost 20 goals, so we have a D man who could score just as many goals as a center who played 18 minutes.
Cozens has 13 goals just as Fats did. Cozens will be better next year he’s way younger, it took Fats 5 seasons to be any good.
Bryam was outstanding in playoffs when aves won the cup, highest plus minus in 40 years. 9 points in 20 games.
Excellent trade! Relax , believe in Adams plan ! Byram was a top 4 pick ! You will be eating your words my friend ! Byram was buried in Colorado , he will be shine in Buffalo! He can play the left or right side and is comfortable doing this . Put him with Power asap on the right side to see if it works. If it doesnt then go out and find Power a stay at home D man like UFA Brett Pesce Carolina and say good bye to Bryson & Jokiharju this summer. Middelstadt was weak on the puck and on faceoffs. Not too mention a turnover machine! Sign a veteran 4th line centre this summer like Trenin Nashville, Roslovic CBJ or Kevin Stenlund FLA this summer as the Sabres have been WEAK on faceoffs for years ! Put Greenway on the 4th line with Robinson or Rousek and keep Krebs as your 3rd line centre. With Casey gone and Okposso Jost, Olofsson and Girgenson not resigning theres a spot in the top 9 for a prospect like Kulich , Savoie or Rosen in October. Sooo should we do the Yzerman plan and bring in UFAs and turnover more than half the roster and bury all of prospects in the AHL ?. Sorry not interested in doing that . Love and understand your Rant ( im 59 , been a Sabres fan since day1 ) but trust the process ! All this being said I do think Adams will bring in a new head coach and staff this summer who will demand a more physical forecheck and to be tougher in front of both nets Thanks for the video .
Casey was not the best centre all season long. 3 pts in February? Obviously one of the left D will play right side, and it likely will be Byram or Dahlin (until Samuelsson's back next season). Supposedly that's gonna be a pair against Nashville. Btw, that 'ghost all season' Cozens had 27 pts since December… the exact number of pts Mitts had since December. I think you might be overreacting a little bit 🙂
Another problem with getting a "win now" player is that most playoff teams are looking for these guys and are actually willing to trade picks and prospects.
Another point is that almost every older player has buffalo on their no trade list, so that will limit the players they can actually trade for.
I agree with what you are saying, but your theory in practice is a lot more difficult than you think.
Man, tough one for sure. Casey was doing so much in both ends. He was on the ice for so many goals. SMH.. Time will tell I suppose, but you make some solid points.
Hey man! Love the channel but I think we need to let this trade play out before we panic. Byram is a great player who will be paired with Dahlin and allow Dahlin and Power to flourish. Give it a season or two before we write it off as a loss. I think you’ll find that the gap Casey filled will be nicely replaced by a prospect like Kulich or Savoie.
Finally a Sabres fan who is actually being realistic about this situation! So sick of potential as well! You spoke exactly how I felt! We needed a defensive defenseman and we do the opposite!!!! So sick of this!!!!! We had so much leverage and we once again f*** it up!!! We will never change until the entire upper staff changes. I could care less about prospects and etc. Our developmental staff is f*** garbage!!!! That's why all the hype we have for these prospects does s*** was Chris Drury or Briere a prospect? Nope!!!!!! Pure leaders that actually wanted to change the culture and it did. It's also why Miller kept getting more and more upset with the direction of this team!
Make some great points but as an Av fan-if Byrum stays healthy,& you guys are patient with him-he really has superstar potential,& is a great kid.I work at the arena here,& we hear nothing but great things bout him as an individual.But you know a lot more bout your team.
I do think this trade could be win/win for both sides.We solved the GAPING 2C hole we have had since Kadri left & just significantly increased our odds at another Cup-but in 2 or 3 yrs-I think Byrum will be the best player in the deal,& I'm fine with that-as much as I'll miss Bo. He has had a rough year but he was great in the Cup run,& better lately.
I like Casey…but if he was going to be traded this is the perfect scenerio. A #4 overall pick….nobody parts with them. You may be right but i doubt it.
Sabres have failed miserably once again. Middlestat can not be replaced period. Even if he is only a #2 center. I see no question to the fact Casey’s durability,speed and skill will have him as a #1 center soon. As he has been all yr with Sabres. 👎 On this trade. Fools. Sure I saw Bo’s first 2 games. Looks like perhaps a great player. A dime a dozen player.

Great trade in my opinion

I agree 100% withe everything u said…

Got to say,im laughing at the rant and your not wrong
A hole? We have krebs, kulich, savoie, ostland
I also follow the wild. I HATED Greenway. They talked about how good he was in the juniors, but his play is garbage
Well he scored on his first shot as a sabre and assisted on the only other goal scored
Well, I think Byrum watched your video and made made your take look silly after that amazing debut.
Make some great points but as an Av fan-if Byrum stays healthy,& you guys are patient with him-he really has superstar potential,& is a great kid.I work at the arena here,& we hear nothing but great things bout him as an individual.But you know a lot more bout your team.

Sabres won the deal 100% 100✓

You may be right but i doubt it.

Looking good so far. Almost looking like Byram was the missing piece.
Byram is the superior player IF he can stay healthy. Zero doubt.
