Housley is on right now, worth a listen.

Saying patience but wants his blue line to be attacking

There is no way IMO we don't add another D man

I mean, I think he's great, but that contract is lengthy as hell.

He's already slowed a little bit

- sbroads24

It is long for sure but idk whenever i watch the wild I'm beyond impressed watching him. I know the media loves D men that rack up points but 40-50 points year in year out and a defensive monster goes under the radar

If they can find a taker for Gorges an not having to buy him out absolutely!

He was talking about Guhle about his skating and mobility, but with the blue line as it is I think he starts in Rochester now.

The Ilya Kovalchuk situation remains murky, but whispers have grown over the last 48 hours that he'll likely return to the KHL next season.


You know what, move Kane for a defensemen.

Build up Rochester.

Next season go for Kovalchuk (wont happen)

Who the (frank) cares about Kovalchuk. Let him rot in Russia.

Winnik could be a nice replacement for Gio. Similar points, younger, more of a PK guy

This Sabres team needs someone with speed and that can score on Eichel's wing

Well, they are at least trying to add a top 4 guy. That's progress

Going into the season with Ocho Cinco as the biggest acquisition would be demoralizing to fans. I have to believe We'll add an impact player somewhere and somehow

Don't think we will add a Dman at all. We will add a forward. Most likely UFA options we may offer on:

SAM GAGNER
VANEK

Good, now trade Girgs and sign Vanek and Daley.

Fun fact: Vanek has made $70mil in his career. That's crazy

- jcragcrumple

How much has he gambled away at illegal card games?

That's why I'm willing to give Yak a short-term deal. The idea of Kane and Yakupov on Jack's wings sounds pretty interesting.

Yakupov is a 100% liability defensively, he only tries about 30% of the time, he NEVER forechecks or backchecks. No thanks

No, the other guy thought he landed top 4 guys in Kulikov and Bogo.

I trust J-Bizzle knows what a true top 4 guy is
