Blue & Gold Talk - Finals Prediction + Thoughts On The Sabres Needs 

I got nothing. You hit every point I would have made right on the head. I’m 1000% behind you on this Wayne. I think that’s also the consensus in the front office and with Lindy so I’m super excited to feel like our opinion is shared with the franchise

Totally agree with you Wayne the Mane. Dakota J from the Canucks as a FA. 4 or 5 years at around $3.5mil per. 11th overall for a Forward with 2+ years on his contract & under 32yo.

The Sabre's are in no position yet, to be signing rental players. Adams needs to make some real moves. He can't hire Ruff and then just sit back. He must make his bones this year, imo...

We have talent. We need toughness. I hope the Sabres begin building a playoff team. I want a 4th to line that crush the opposition.

Hello (echo) 😁. Hope all is well Wayne.

If Florida wins the Sabres get a #5 pick instead of a #7 this draft back from them via the Reinhart deal.

There's one big trade I think we should make as ludicrous as it sounds. I do think the Sabres should tender a large package for Brady Tkachuk. He's the right age, still has three years on contract, and could add some much needed grit. I think we should package a 3 piece package for him. One elite top 6 forward, one elite prospect, and 11th overall. We have high skill talent in spades. We don't have a skilled gritty player like Brady. I think this is the only trade that makes sense for us. Boon Jenner as UFA next year.

Good to see a video, thanks Wayne

Spark plugs. Perfect description of what we need.

Wayne, you said: "we've got goaltending" As for Ukko-Pekka as starting goalie - I think it works. But who will back up? Levi isn't ready!

We need a Brady Tkachuk , just a pipe dream but we could use a player that’s physical and mean .

I predict Floriduh in 4; goaltending is the difference.

Florida, rooting for the six former Sabres. Love to have Reinhart and Montour back.

I think this years pick we'll keep. If anything it will be next years 1st but top ten protected as they all do these days.

Honestly watching especially the last 4 teams that played in this playoffs just shows me how far Sabres really are speaking of being a contender. Don't want to be a Debbie here but it was just a sad realization.

Funny Okposo is not on the Panthers power play when Granatto liked playing him. Glad to see you gone Don.

You'd say Edmonton and Florida match up quite well in most areas. McDavid has the edge offensively and Florida just has the edge in goaltending (though Skinner did pick it up). I'm making no predictions because I am usually way off and I'd hate to be a jinx! But I reckon it'll be over in 6. 😋

What would u think about this offseason: Skinner Thompson Kane Peterka Cozens Quinn Benson Kulich Tuch Joshua Krebs Greenway (We could switch Benson and Skinner) Byram Dahlin Power Sammy Johnson Clifton (We could switch Ryan Johnson for a free agent)

No trades until free agency is pretty much over.

I thought the Oilers would lose game 1 but I still have my weird feeling they will pull through. They needed to get their teeth kicked in the first game to power them through the series. But I could be totally wrong. 😅

Where are you at man

I know our focus needs to be physical play in the bottom 6 but I think we could take some heat off of Tage by moving the #11 pick for a 30% retained Laine contract. It’s a risk but with the talent we already have I feel like our first rounder this year is playing with house money. The physicality could be found in free agency for fairly cheap. Any thoughts?

The Florida Sabres

I have to support Edmonton on this. Although I do believe it will come down to goaltending and believe Bobrovski is far and above better than Skinner. But I have to believe in this Canadian team to pull it off. Read a crazy stat that only Gretzky and McDavid are the only 2 players that have figured in on 44% (47% for Gretzky) of all the team goals.

Wayne you had us worried.

Great points. We need to predominantly stick to our plan. We can’t get desperate and start making dumb Tim Murray 2.0 moves just because we want to make the playoffs. Eye on the prize.

Nikita Zadorov.

Edmonton in 6 games .Ill be very surprised if Adams doesnt trade the Sabres first round pick , 11th overall. I hope Adams sticks to his word( end of the season presser) and gets a veteran 3rd line centre and some abrasiveness for the bottom six forward group. Love to trade for Sam Bennett even though he only has 1 yr left or Morgan Frost Philly who want a d man in return - Jokiharju ?? UFA Dakota Joshua Van or Ryan Lomberg FLA .

Kyle Okposo is for sure going to retire after this year. Crazy he was dealt to the panthers right on the cusp of them winning. He needs to call KA and say thank you after the win.

Fla wins we get a 5th not a 7th via Okposso. If Edmonton wins, Canada wins.... 🤔

What’s your thoughts on trading for Sam Bennett that’s who I want

What would it take to get tkatchuk?

Watching the Cup and Bobs is my hero go get that cup you wall The elite goalie always gets the cup who cares if they have Mcdavey and the 2nd best German in the league behind our German it would be something ro see if Pats can get even close to Dras skills I think he has the potential to become a star What will they do about powers 2 hand touch style of play ,Will Lindy teach him how to hit and stop being a pussycat

Sabres to Leafs...... We will send you our 2024 2nd. You send us Marner with 50% retained. 😉

Roam ,Wayne go get that $ I am with the help of a Behr il get rich one day somehow

Waynsey…What about getting Reinhardt???

Florida in 6. Too many thugs on the Panthers.

After the coach roasted the bills i hope the oilers lose. Hahahha
