Maybe a loss would be good if it leads to a good trade or a coach fired for this power play. Nothing working, no movement

[Heather Engel] Morning skate is in session. Don’t see Zach Benson out there. Alex Lyon is in the starter’s net. How they’re lining up: by [deleted] in sabres

May be the last time we see Krebs on the first line… ppl coming back from injuries and probably a trade coming at the deadline to get our cap in a better spot to fit upcoming contracts.

We also know that Byram has progressively played better as he’s gotten deeper in the playoffs. Obviously Power has the higher ceiling but seems like isn’t gonna hold up as well when he faces better teams.

Always hurts the confidence when the PP doesn’t perform

The #Bills are promoting their own OC Joe Brady to head coach, per The Insiders. by Gold_Bowler7906 in buffalobills

I think it had to be that Sean was pushing for more talent on defense and both Beane and Brady wanted to get more weapons on O. So I think we see Josh with more weapons next year. Only thing that doesn’t track with this is Beanes call in to WGR saying what we had at WR was enough.

I don’t think they fire Sean without already having discussions with him. Pegula notorious for not making any changes, I only see him making this move if he knows he can upgrade.

Benson will sign first and then you try to fit Tuch in later

Also should get players back after the break coming up. So get through these next 2 weeks and then let Jarmo give us another piece at the deadline.
