Thread: Sabres need to make some upgrades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fjordy</b></div><div>I didn't see them both confirm, but it will be disappointing if Adams doesn't add a goaltender, the team probably won't make the playoffs next season again.</div></div>

Ive been telling ppl this since april. Ppl here assume its some kind of shtick but the writing has been on the wall about the complacency of management and ownership for a while and the only way to see any change is to force their hand. Hurt them where it matters. When they run UPL out there next year, dont show up. Embarrass them again and again until we see any kind of change in their ways.

I beg sabres fans to not fall for this just cause theyve missed 12 years in a row. Dont let "almost pretending to be a playoff team" be enough. This city, the fans the people the kids, they all deserve better than the ball-less gutless team building theyve gotten from ownership in the last while.

If they want to waste all the talent, speed and skill theyve amassed, thats their prerogative. But dont let them waste your time. Demand for more from these goofy goobers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>They both this morning confirmed on twitter that its going be levi and upl/comrie. Fairburn would agree to but he needs the hit on his athletic pieces so he brings up names, which is fine, but he never links the sabres to them outright because he knows thats not happening.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fjordy</b></div><div>Top 4 D priority according to the same LeBrun, but Adams seems to be trying to add goalie. Comrie and UPL were bad.</div></div>

A pairing of Levi and UPL would be horrendous. Levi should ease into the role as a 1B and UPL is barely an NHL goalie. Same with Comrie.

Bring in a goalie like Varlamov and give him 3-4m for 1 year to mentor Levi for a season. Or literally anybody else.

Thread: SAROS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fjordy</b></div><div>Remove Ostlund or Rosen. Saros is a great goalie, but usually goalies don't get that package, not even close, plus he only has two years left. A top 15 pick + a good first round prospect is already a good base. Maybe some B prospect or 2nd instead of Rosen or Ostlund. Also, I'm sure not everyone understands and knows who Rosen and Ostlund are, how they play/develop and what are their strengths, so some may think that this is not enough.</div></div>

I'd say make it Ostlund and Philly's 2nd round pick. The new package looks like UPL, Olofosson, Ostlund, BUF 2023 1st, and PHI 2023 2nd for Saros. NSH likely does that. Trotz is on record saying he would move Saros if it meant he could land a true 1C, so that is likely the higher incentive.
