It’s Saturday Night, I’ve had 5 1/2 drinks, I have time to answer 5 1/2 questions and 5 1/2 questions only

@CMDeDominicis Thanks for the response. Should have just read but appreciate your opinion.
English
@headforthehews As I called out in the article last year wasn’t great. I think he has the upside when he’s on. I’m not sure I need him to be a play driver either with others on the Sabres roster.
English
Late on a Saturday but never too late! Newest team trade breakdown looks at the Leafs.
I go back to the well on a defenseman idea and perhaps the Sabres could circle back on Matthew Knies.

@PeteBlackburn Blame the Sabres. Not sure they’d beat Carolina but I think they had energy left and would have made it a series. Habs looked out of gas
English
Over the last five years, more than half of the NHL's conference finals have ended in five games or fewer. None have gone seven games. Dark days for Gary's format
English
@PierreVLeBrun If that’s the case please explain to me the one overturned in Montreal vs Buffalo. That was so weak.
English
Just an observation before the Stanley Cup final next week, I wouldn’t challenge any goal for goalie interference. The league doesn’t want to overturn goals. That’s the base sentiment. Evidence has to be so overwhelming. Why risk it. I don’t blame Martin St. Louis, it’s desperation time tonight for his team. More a comment for the Cup final.
English
@ntrider825 There is no goalie move unless Hellebuyck forces his way here for cheap. Don’t see that happening so looking forward to seeing who gets hot at times next year of Upl Lyon and Ellis
English
@ntrider825 3 and 4 seem like easy calls to not do. Tuch is what it is but that contract is going to look rough for someone. My only big forward move is if I can get a truly elite center but rarely is one available.
English
@SeanBroadley87 Krebs played pretty solidly up in the top 6. Of course you can do better but he’s a great piece of your depth.
English
“The forward group is as deep as anyone in hockey”
My brother Peyton Krebs was skating on the top line and Josh Norris was the 2C.
Unreal analysis here

The Sabres are likely to be in on all kinds of rumors this offseason... Sneaky Joe explains why shoring up the goaltending position should be toward the top of the list.
English
@user35664459 @intothecalderon Which is fine. Atleti just doesn’t sell him if that’s the case. His release clause is 500. Barca sure as hell won’t get a discount.
English
@headforthehews @intothecalderon Alvarez for 200 mil😭😭😭😭 im crine bro this ain’t carreer mode
English
what decision? he has a contract for four more years!
Atletico Universe@atletiuniverse
🚨 Diego Simeone: "Julian Alvarez? That’s a question for him. I imagine he will have already made his decision."
English
Not sure how this isn't called holding against Evans in this 2 on 1 in OT.
English
@NotTheJoeMarino Yeah I agree he’d have to force his way here. Not sure the Sabres have that pull yet.
English
@headforthehews The only way is that he tells the Jets I want to play for only the Buffalo Sabres. We’ve seen how players with NMCs go for less than expected. He can basically decide where he goes and it’ll force the Jets to make a bad deal potentially
English
I don’t think Binnington is an upgrade
If they can get Hellebuyck for something reasonable then sure but then again he’s also 34 and making $8.5 mil until 2031
None of those other guys are moving
Sabres Unfiltered@SabreUnfiltered
Goalies that I would consider reliable “upgrades”: Hellebuyck Sorokin Shesterkin Vasilevsky Swayman Oettinger Thompson Bobrovsky Honorable mention: Binnington, but he had a dreadful season Is anyone on this list other than Binnington actually attainable?
English
Am I tripping or is flopping up exponentially these playoffs!?!?!
B/R Open Ice@BR_OpenIce
Struble had a penalty called on him for this play 😬
English
@ZCarr39 Only way I’d do it is if they went big game hunting and got Hellebuyck or Bob. Think one is too expensive in a trade for me and the other I wouldn’t give $$$ and term. So basically I’m rolling same 3 next year if it’s me.
English
If you’re a believer in trading UPL away what is your hopes for them replacing him? That’s an honest question

@CMDeDominicis @SneakyJoeSports @BMaz1 I’ll never see this type of money but in his lifetime the difference between 64 million and 75 million To me would be all based on where he wants to live. Up to each person and within his right to get max if he wants
English
@SneakyJoeSports @BMaz1 I don’t think the Sabres are at 10.5 fwiw or honestly close to it
English
$10.5/7yr is only $1.5M more than $9/8yr over the length of the contract.

David Pagnotta: Re Alex Tuch/Sabres: It's just been a lot of back and forth and nobody's nailed the number; the number's probably gonna be anywhere from 10.5 to 11 million - Daily Faceoff Live (5/21)

@JeremyWGR Tim Murray also traded for the wrong talented guys in Kane and Lehner.
English
How are we supposed to feel about Montreal BODYING Carolina in Game One?
English
@BUFSportsTalk They need one of their young forwards to pop into true star point per game player.
English
Helenius - 20
Benson - 21
Kulich - 22
Östlund - 22
Doan - 24
Quinn - 24
Krebs - 25
McLeod - 26
Tage - 27
Power - 23
Byram - 24
Dahlin - 26
Samuelsson - 26
Nine fowards under age 28.
Top four defensemen all under age 27.
This is just the beginning.

@MattKopnak They need a play driving 1c badly. However I’m with you as I don’t think one will be available and also their core is still young and shouldn’t hit an age cliff yet.
English
6. I am not saying do nothing this summer.
Improve on the margins, sign proactive contacts, don't make a huge mistake like re-signing Tuch.
You are very likely a playoff team again.
It just feels like a franchise altering "big swing" might be better suited for 2027.
English
Unpopular opinion:
I think the Sabres should largely resist the urge to make a massive splash this summer and instead bet on internal growth for one more season.
A thread 🧵
English
@Sabrestalkv2 Everyone would love Tuch on a team friendly deal. If you bring him back you have like 16 forwards under contract. You need to get ostlund and helenius up for sure and Kulich needs games after missing the year
English
Everyone keeps saying “letting Tuch walk would be like all the other players we’ve let walk. Didn’t learn our lesson” outside of Drury and Briere literally 20 years ago I’m interested to see who they are talking about. I mean I have some I can think of but interested who those people bring up. They’ll probably say Evan Rodrigues and I’ll promise you none of you said that when we let him walk. Ullmark will be one they say but that team was so atrocious both sides just moved on.
