In a very short time we will be the cap strapped team
- sbroads24



Kinda
How soon we can move out Moulson & Bogosian could help
Pommer off in 2 years helps too

And the Cap will go up
I know we disagree on how much
But even if it's just 2-3mil per, that'll help

Mittelstadt will be fine. No better. No worse. Fine.

Who said he wouldn't ? He has the making of a super star if he hits the next level

That's all fine...

But Nylander-Reinhart-Bailey line could produce 50+ goals
Where a Pouliot-Larsson-Pominville line is more like 35 goals

We kind of did that in the way we acquired Scandella by taking Pommer
I know they got Ennis, but that's 1 year...
and Pommer's cap hit is for 2

I totally agree with you though

There's teams in Cap trouble we should try to take advantage of
Detroit of all teams has issues right now
I doubt they'd move him...
but the speed & potential scoring of Anthasiou would look nice in our top9

Moulson, Bogo, Gorges, Pommer. That's almost 20m gone in the next few seasons and all are easily replaceable players...Kane is probably gone, add 6 more. Most of that will go to Jack/Samson, but with the depth you pointed out...I don't think we'll be in dire straights like some other teams.

Yeah... I totally agree with ya

We just have to move out Gorges, Bogo, Moulson, maybe Pominville?
With Jack & a couple other raises coming,
we need to move out some $$$ to be able to take full advantage

We still talking about the 3 win team bills ?

I love how some Buffalo fans are like oh it's okay to have six wins how about we tank the season and finally get a QB .I'm getting sick of this bs this is the quarterback of the century draft

everyone can say that there's no taking in the NFL but this year teams are secretly doing it

Totally agree
We will be just fine
It's just a matter of clearing some room so we can take advantage of those Cap strapped teams like Deadhead suggests

They have 7 NHL defensemen IMO one of Bogo or Gorges gets moved.

Most of their "talent" is really old on sh!tty contracts or really young on good contracts.

sometimes I wish you would disappear like the band in from dusk til dawn

the bills would have kept rex for 1 more year if they were going to tank

had they beat the jets and miami, they would have been in the playoffs last year

every season schedule looks a lot tougher for some teams then they really are


a few teams on the schedule will be blah instead of good
broncos, chiefs, saints, panthers, falcons, dolphins come to mind right away

The Jets certainly aren't making it a secret
They might not win a game

Idk how SF will be?
Might end up being around a 6 win team themselves

And Cleveland might be better than we expect too
Plus, I guess Kizer has been looking great for them
I know, way too early to say

We just gotta let this season play out though
Hopefully we can get our guy in the draft
There's at least 5 QBs that will go in the 1st round (as of now)
And I've seen as many as 8-9 different guys getting picked 1st round in some mock drafts

I'm gonna watch A LOT of college football this year

There's 3 things I know in this world.

Reinhart will be fine. Not good. Not bad. Fine.
Mittelstadt will be fine. Not good. Not bad. Fine.
The Bills will only win 3 games, ever.

Gorges is easier to move bc it's the last year of his contract
We'll see what happens

Do u have an opinion on bringing in Vanek &/or Jagr?
I'm all for it

At the very least,
we trade either for a 3rd (maybe more) at the deadline

Are u sure...
I don't think that's true


But regardless...
if it can work for 25games, it can work for 82

I think u guys are getting a little hung up on exact point totals
Where I'm just trying to show that a 3rd scoring line will help outlet team

Whether it's Sam or Mittelstadt at 3C,
Idk... whatever...

It's still a line that would end up producing a lot more than
Foligno-Larsson-Gionta
Or
Pouliot-Larsson-Pominville

- jdfitz77

Positive

They came together in that playoff run in 15-16.

Kessel played with Malkin mostly before that
