Zach Benson is on the Sabres' second power-play unit during practice.

Another sign that he's ready to return to the lineup.

I don't see the fit.

Why ?

He's a soft LH puck mover. Does nothing to round out that pair, just brings more of the same.

Byram made him extra obsolete. Your top can't be 4 of the same mold.

What are your expectations for November?

0-2 to start the month, 12 games left, 6 home, 6 away:

vs Ott @ Home OTW
vs NYR L
vs CGY @ Home L
ve MTL @ Home W
vs STL @ Home L
vs PHI L
vs LAK L
vs ANA OTW
vs SJS W
vs Min @ Home L
vs Van @ Home L
vs NYI L

4-8 IMO - If they get 8 points this months would anyone be shocked?

But he's really not, he wasn't that in College. He's known more for his skating and quick outlet passes. Maybe he's not a fit, but we need to find out. He played decent with Dahlin.

Everybody plays decent with Dahlin.

I think you're too anxious to experiment in the NHL with guys who don't look ready.

I could be, but Johnson is 23 and not getting Younger! And that's not true with Dahlin.

Remember how absolutely pathetic Adams looked trying to spin the young narrative to experienced…could you even imagine him on a negotiations call?

Barring any set backs he will be playing tomorrow.

and we'll get a roster move. Sure doesn't look like it will be waiving a D, so almost has to be Kulich.

Confirmed trade for Ehlers was happening at the draft. Winnipeg reneged.

Also confirmed they want a top 4 defensive RHD.

Unfortunate KA cant seem to close a deal.

Well, now I'm depressed. (frank) Winnipeg and the horse they refused to have Ehlers ride in on.

He needs to be tougher on these GMs ... Cardinal sin waiting if the deal is ready to be had... Pull the trigger then.
He sucks at his job.

Did the Trade back have anything to do with it ?

Don't believe so.

Winnipeg made it sound like he was more available than he was.

Deal was in place and they pulled it at the last moment.

Power-Bryson??? Feel bad for Lindy, he just doesn't have options with this group.


@LLysowski
Sabres' lines and pairs in practice:

Peterka-Thompson-Tuch
Benson/Kulich-Cozens-Quinn
Zucker-McLeod-Greenway
Malenstyn-Krebs-Lafferty/NAK

Dahlin-Byram
Power-Bryson
Samuelsson-Jokiharju
Gilbert-Clifton
- Lunaion

Good players carry their partners.

Power is playing well, maybe he carries bryson?

What happened to Clifton , probably on his way out of he’s a healthy scratch frequently

Don't believe so.

I know there was a Deal there, I brought it up before the draft with his extension.
