I take this for CBJ.

Would you like a Jake Bean or Boqvist added in?

Seen similar posts from fans of all Atlantic teams - SENs, Habs, maybe Wings - that missed the playoffs this year, but only 3-5 make it 🤷🏻. I do think Buffalo has the best chances of the teams that missed out this year, but won’t be easy - Atlantic is a beast

Too much for a backup goalie and I think we may need an upgrade for Krebs.

I don’t want to be in same position next year. As good as UPL has been this year, it only has been one year and has been healthy for whole year. Sabres need a solid backup and should be willing to pay.

As for krebs. You obviously don’t watch hockey games if u think can have a better fourth line center then krebs. You can say you would like a different type of player but krebs can be a third line player for half the teams in this league.

He has 1 goal in like his last 30 some games and isn’t a good at faceoffs.
