Screw "never meeting your heroes." What were some times you met your heroes and they were super cool?

They’d honestly be pretty close to the cap if they run it back (I can’t do this anymore)
Kevyn Adams said “we’re going to be right there” when it comes to spending to the cap next season.
Wants to get Peterka signed, he’ll have Byram and Quinn to worry about too.

The Cozens-Norris trade made waves as a much needed core-shaking move, but where does Norris fit long term with the Sabres?
We welcomed @sabremetrix.bsky.social back to the pod to recap the deadline, all of the Sabres’ moves, Zucker re-signing, & take a look ahead to the offseason.

This worked very well the last time they tried this
Lindy Ruff 🗣️ "Dig in!"
Three consecutive sprints around the perimeter of the ice. May have another one after everyone recovers.
These practices are training camp 2.0 for the Sabres.

Maybe shouldn’t have signed that contract if the priority was winning
NEW: Seth Jones says he's talking with the Blackhawks about the possibility of a trade.
"I would like to give myself a chance to win in my career. I know that the money is not an easy thing to move, and that’s what we’re figuring out."

The 30-year-old defenseman knows his $9.5 million salary-cap hit will not be "an easy thing to move," but if the Hawks can make a trade happen, it sounds like he might welcome it.

Give me Benson-Cozens-Greenway instead
Sabres' lines at practice:
Peterka-Kulich-Thompson
Zucker-McLeod-Tuch
Greenway-Cozens-Quinn
Benson-Krebs-Lafferty
Malenstyn is absent. He was dealing with back spasms before the break.

Lafferty on the 2nd line is diabolical
Tage Thompson didn't take line rushes, which is another sign that he's not playing in LA.

Peterka-McLeod-Rosén
Benson-Cozens-Lafferty
Zucker-Kulich-Quinn
Malenstyn-Krebs-NAK
Dahlin-Bryam

For fans wanting to feel better about Devon Levi’s struggles just take a look at Dustin Wolf this season
Years of elite WHL and AHL numbers, struggled in a small NHL sample in his 22 y/o season, and he’s looking like one of the NHL’s best this season

The Sabres have been shooting 15.8% when Bowen Byram is on the ice at 5v5 this season, so he’s obviously going to be someone that appeals to the eye test
Expect that number to cool down a good amount

But DET/BUF/OTT are the three stooges, the Islanders are the Islanders, and the Penguins goaltending/finishing has been killing them

Sabres going to add an extra patty to the Dominator burger
Friedman reports that the cap could go as high as 97 for next year. Can’t wait to see how the Sabres take advantage of that extra space

Anytime I see people talk about the quality of wins of NHL teams I just think about how the 2013/14 Sabres beat the eventual Cup champions (Kings) and beat the eventual Presidents’ Trophy winner (Bruins) twice!
