Gregg Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Not Sabres related but Patrice Bergeron just announced his retirement. Big loss for the B's as he was an excellent player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big loss for the B's as he was an excellent player. He was their #1 C and they have nobody to replace him. Definitely a big loss. No way they can replace his production either for anything close to what he signed for last year. I don’t think they have any cap space anyway. Wonder if Krejci is coming back? There was talk as of late June that he was leaning toward retirement. If he also retires, the bruins will have lost both of their top 6 centers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could they not after the regular season they had last year. Also, Tampa is getting older and losing players from their Cup years. Vasilevisky started to show some decline in last year's playoffs as well. The Leafs however are still very good. If the Sabres continue to improve and they should then finishing in the top 3 in the Atlantic division is a realistic goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m doing my math correctly he and Ullmark were the only two guys on that team who aren’t complete douche bags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It's nice to see they are selected as one of the teams with the brightest future. Still have to prove it on the ice but it's nice the Sabres getting some respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the team isn't very good, but they are an original 6.

Matthew savoie , isik Rosen , Zach Benson .. we have stud under 20 kids and a lot more i think he’s talking about 2015-2020 ish with the old core like Eichel, Reinhart, Nylander, etc. It is true that the Sabres had the #1 ranked prospect pool multiple times during the previous rebuild and it never led to winning. However, I do think this time is different. Their pipeline this time is sooooo deep. Way deeper than any time in the last decade or more. And it actually seems like the kids are developing this time. Plus, they’re already having success in the NHL. I am really looking forward to this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
