Yet again, Kevyn Adams failed to act with any urgency this offseason. While Byram returning isn’t the worst, it’s another example of him fundamentally not being able to execute the moves needed to propel this team forward, even when he has 1 year left on his contract. (1/2)

🧵: We dropped a pair of episodes this week, first welcoming Rachel Lenzi of the Buffalo News to the pod to discuss the Adams-Forton presser earlier this week, the offseason approach, Mogilny in the HOF and more!

“He’s got the body of Jack Reacher and the grit of Jack Antonoff” - Taylor on Mattias Samuelsson
On today’s episode, we go player-by-player through the 24-25 Sabres and discuss their standing on the team and if we want to keep or move on from them.

JJ Peterka again finds himself in trade rumors, landing atop Daily Faceoff’s trade board. Peterka is a promising young player, but should the Sabres consider shopping him?
We discuss that plus Tage’s golden goal & Olympic aspirations and more offseason talk on today’s ep!

Bowen Byram’s name is out there as someone who may be on the move. Minnesota & Los Angeles are two teams that make a ton of sense to us to engage in trade talks with.
We discuss that, plus there still being no coaching changes, the goalie market, Amerks, & more on today’s ep.

Hey everybody, if you’ve already listened to today’s pod, you’re aware some changes are afoot for the pod. Quick thread on what’s up:
First off, The Charging Buffalo & us have decided to part ways. Shoutout to the TCB team for a fun couple years & the new pals we made along the way.

The drought’s officially hit 14 years and teams that the Sabres were recently viewed as “ahead of” are now ahead of them in the standings, because they’ve done the one thing the Sabres haven’t: meaningfully try to upgrade their roster.

James Reimer has seemingly taken the starting job from UPL. While we’re against the Sabres fully running it back, goaltending is one area where they REALLY can’t afford to.
Plus the win over Ottawa, why this hot stretch isn’t what it seems, what it may mean for the offseason, & more on today’s ep!

In an out-of-the-ordinary turn of events, Terry Pegula joined the Sabres on their recent Central Division trip. Could it be a sign that the heat is turning up & change is on the horizon this offseason? We discuss that plus the win over the Jets, McLeod continuing to be awesome, & more on today’s ep.

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.

It’s trade deadline week & we’re both in the camp that the much needed BIG moves should wait until the offseason. Not only is it a better time for hockey trades but also do we want these moves made in a lost season when there may be a new GM in a few months?

think it was @ntrider.bsky.social who said it on @straightupsabres.bsky.social but stuff like this drove me nuts for years until it became pretty obvious that they haven't been able to add quality veterans around their high round picks for basically the entire drought.
Sabres had Reinhart and Eichel and couldn’t make it work. That seems impossible.
