Buffalo Sabres Offseason Outlook 

Finally Buffalo getting some well deserved respect. I’m on board with the signings and trade.

Thanks Stu....and I agree 👍. We are a lot deeper this year >All Phases

Here's a David Morales "Money Moves" summary for the Buffalo Sabres offseason outlook: "The Buffalo Sabres' offseason outlook promises strategic moves and pivotal decisions as they aim to elevate their performance in the upcoming season. With a focus on player acquisitions, coaching adjustments, and organizational development, the Sabres seek to strengthen their roster and foster a winning culture. This offseason presents a crucial opportunity for the team to make calculated investments in talent while addressing areas for improvement. As fans anticipate roster changes and strategic maneuvers, the Sabres' commitment to building a competitive team underscores their determination to achieve success in the NHL. The offseason outlook sets the stage for an exciting transformation and renewed optimism among fans and stakeholders alike.

Buffalo has had pressing needs as to winning draws and having a more physical presence out there, and that’s been addressed w/o spending a fortune or giving up anything more than a 9th overall pick who’s smallish and already has had a serious injury. So I’m very much on board w/ what’s taken place. 👍

LETS GO BUFFALO! this is the year!

Just make the playoffs please I’m almost 30 I was 15 the last time they made it 😭😭😭

screw the East and the entire NHL and Sabres haters this year..no mercy starting in October our revenge tour begins 😡🦬💪

The two highest paid forwards only have a $7 million cap hit for like six or seven years

It is such a breath of fresh air to hear something positive about the Sabres for once. Make fun of them all you want, but there is an identity here: Speed, grit, and defense.

I personally think Benson will be on the 2nd line and Zucker will be 3rd line

just remember what jg pageau got and he was a 3rd center and this one is taller is faster ... Edmonton got gave easily gotten more from somewhere else but valued this prospect more

The problem is all of the major Sabres players had huge regressions. How do you convince players to do what they need to do in the offseason to prevent that again? No sugar coating last season. It was a disaster.

People can rag on the Sabres but they are very clearly being intentional with how they’re building this roster based on who they’re bringing in and shipping out. Like he said, they have all the pieces it’s just whether they can put it together and win games. We’ll see if Lindy Ruff makes a big enough impact!

Hope Quinn and Samuelson can stay healthy

Savoie fell to at least fourth on the Sabres’ prospect rankings. He might be more flashy to the Twitter GMs than NHL GMs. Undersized, injury history, has proven nothing in the NHL. Sabres were shopping him - this wasn’t EDM upping the asking price. Sabres finally have a prototype & plan. They have to play Moneyball a bit due to top guys not wanting to come here.

Whats funny is every1 says Buf got fleeced in this ,i sooo disagree Whos to say Savoie will ever play in the nhl im tired of waiting for this team to take the next step and with the moves Adams are making he replaced Okposo slow with a guy thats got the fastest speed burst in the league huh? Buffalo wieners quit whining

Lots of doom and gloom in Sabreland. I kind of like what they did this offseason. Their bottom six is faster, much better defensively, they hit & physically engage, have high-effort and have a touch of scoring (esp. Zucker). Skinner scores but was a detriment when he is not scoring. If UPL continues to play like he did from Jan. on, then they are fine in goal. They need another top 6 forward (preferably LW) and they can make some noise. And let's not discount that they actually have a solid legit coach in Ruff. I liked Donny as a person but he's more of an Ass't Coach type guy - he's a soft "developmental guy" who misplaced/misused players in the lineup all year. Remember, Buffalo was 1 pt behind Florida for the last playoff spot 2 years ago; the mistake they made was not adding that offseason (they counted on continued "development") - and then they regressed.

McLeod is a good acquisition for the Sabres, but they gave too much in return. Sabres should have at least got another NHLer on top of McLeod.
