Thats a lot of pressure for Kulich and Rosen. I think there have been like 2 teams sub .500 in points percentage by thanksgiving to qualify for the playoffs over the last decade. Doesnt make sense to shake things up now. They have to focus on next year.

giving up on the season after 19 games awesome

you can frame it that way, but a better way to see it is "not torching long term success to increase playoff odds by ~5%". Short term thinking is only valuable if the payoff is equally big. Kulich and Rosen would have to be calder candidates to put the Sabres at the 105 pt pace theyd need to be to make the playoffs.

I would leave Cozens on the 2nd Line, he's a better C, FO, and leave Kulich with Rosen, they have chemistry from ROC. I'm waiting for a move, something is going to happen before the Pitt. game. Benson might go back to juniors and if so, someone is going up from the Amerks.
