Predictions!

[TheMistyStranger]

Make 2 "safe" and 1 wild prediction you can actually see happening this season.

I'm going with:

Safe - Mitts increases his point total and finishes just shy of 70
Safe - Peterka hits 20 goals
Wild - UPL not only wins the starting job by mid-Nov, but he finishes as a top 15 goalie in the league.

[Nikolajs Sillers]

UPL is worse than last year. Comrie is better.

 

[Ace]

Safe: they’re going to regret not getting a better vet goalie

Safe: they’re going to regret not adding a top 4 D

Wild: they’ll fail to do it for a third straight offseason next year. People will still tell me it’s coming and or that I said the opposite of what im saying.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Safe: Kulich will be called up halfway through the season and never head back

Safe: Still won’t get over the hump and we miss playoffs again

Wild: Cozens will be offensive MVP this year

 

[Gabrielor]

-Dahlin is within top 3 voting for the Norris, or outright wins it.

-The Buffalo Sabres make the playoffs in spring of 2024.

-Peyton Krebs has a Cozens-type breakout season, albeit in a different role, and solidifies himself as a core piece.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Wild: Joker becomes our 2nd best D.

Safe: Victor will only score in open nets

Safe: We have a winning record versus the Leafs

 

[Fezzy126]

1. Safe - Kulich makes the team out of camp
2. Safe - Quinn scores 20 despite missing half the year
3. Wild - Granato wins coach of the year

 

[Vito_81]

Safe-Tage breaks 100 points

Safe-Dahlin scores 20 goals

Wild- Not only do the Sabres make the playoffs, they have home ice advantage in round 1

3. Wild - Granato wins coach of the year

Interesting. I'd swap 1 and 3 here, tbh.

 

[beerme1]

Safe: Tage gets 50 goals!
Safe: Dahlin has his best season ever.
Wild: Power developed a heavy shot in the off season and score 12+ goals

 

[Guy Tetreault]

Safe-Tage breaks 100 points

Safe-Dahlin scores 20 goals

Wild- Not only do the Sabres make the playoffs, they have home ice advantage in round 1

Thompson 51 Goals 97 points
Dahlin 21 Goals 93 points

 

[PatLaFontaineASMR]

Safe - Sabres take the 3rd spot in the division and play Tampa Bay in the first round

Safe - Levi is top 3 in Calder votes

Wild - Greenway scores 30 goals

 

[ZemgusWho]

Safe: Tage scores a cool forty
Safe: all the goalies on the team, individually post better SV% and goals against than last year.

Wild: Benson makes team out of camp by outperforming VO

 

[KiwiGriff]

Safe - The team will not be the bottom of the east

Safe - Increase in points for at least two of these players: Cozens, JJP, Dahlin, Mitts

Wild: Going into the season with UPL and Levi will be a wildly successful decision.

 

[TageGod]

Safe- Cozens PPG
Safe- Mitts gets injured or is pedestrian throughout the season and overperforms in the last 10 games and HF will think he is better than he really is. Every year this happens.
Wild- Sabres Beat the Leafs (in round 1) and advance to the conference final and lose.

 

[DapperCam]

Safe - Olofsson fetches a late 2nd in a trade after Quinn returns
Safe - Tage, Tuch, and Skinner match or exceed last year’s production
Wild - Sabres finish in the standings ahead of the Bruins and Lightning

 

[HOOats]

Safe: Dahlin over PPG
Safe: the home record dramatically improves
Wild: an 8-game winning streak or 10-game point streak at some point

 

[TehDoak]

Safe: Teams will adjust to our play and the offensive output will drop a bit, but not bottom out
Safe: Goaltending, the PK, and overall defensive play will continue to be a struggle
Wild: Granato gets fired mid season

 

[TageGod]

Safe: Goaltending, the PK, and overall defensive play will continue to be a struggle
Wild: Granato gets fired mid season

LOL did he commit a felony to get fired?

 

[KeyserSoze81]

Wild - Greenway scores 30 goals

That is absolutely wild. The guy has no hands - are the pucks being bounced off of him into the net?

Safe - Olofsson fetches a late 2nd in a trade after Quinn returns

The only way is if we retain salary, and I highly doubt ownership does it. If Olofsson doesn't like being benched, he can go back to Sweden and see how bad it is.


Safe: Defensive zone coverage will not improve much, and high event hockey continues.
Safe: Levi will have a solid start to his career as the starter, but will trail off in the middle of the year.
Wild: Kulich makes the team out of camp and scores 20 goals in his rookie year, finishing ahead of Levi in Calder votes.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

1. Comrie wins the starting goalie role
2. Tuch doesn't play on an ES line with Tage and Skinner anymore
3. Dahlin goes back to playing on his left with Joki; Sammy plays with EJ on the bottom pairing.

 

[TehDoak]

LOL did he commit a felony to get fired?

That is why its under wild.

 

[brian_griffin]

Safe: Every move K. Adams makes @Ace will condemn as "too little, too late".
Safe: Every lack of move K. Adams fails to make @TehDoak will condemn as "Pegula cheap".
Wild: In similar fashion to Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol", @Ace & @TehDoak join Kevyn and Terry at the Pegula's Christmas Dinner table, where a still-recovering Kim P. declares, "God Bless Us, Everyone".

That is absolutely wild. The guy has no hands - are the pucks being bounced off of him into the net?

Well it is supposed to be a wild prediction lol. I guess it would be similar to David Clarkson when he scored 30 or Zack Smith when he scored 25. So yea pretty much pucks being bounced off him into the net.

Certainly wouldn't be the first guy to get a bunch of goals by being big in front of the net. He doesn't even need hands to shovel a loose puck 6"
