if you have 2 centers in their 20's and you are paying them 17.5 mil per


you damn sure better be advancing in playoffs


not picking in the top 8
- homiedclown

We would be...
if we had a better team around them!

Lehner doesn’t match up to most playoff goalies

Kane & Okposo don’t match up to a lot of teams best wingers

And what’s worse in comparison to playoff teams...
our defense or scoring depth
Both SUCK


Put the blame where it lies
Not on the players we have who are actually good

And u still haven’t said how much ROR is overpaid?
What is it with u guys not answering easy direct questions?

O qua tangin wann
- homiedclown

Agreed.

Idk what that means

JESUS CHRIST no!..
LOL, I reference two areas of improvement for Jack, that being the 2nd (the 1st was backcheck) and holy Christopher I was mocked worse than Hilary Clinton trying to blamr Trump and the Russians for the election.
(Ok maybe, just maybe I took that too far)

HATS OFF TO YOU for being among the first to recognize he can, and will improve.
- IonSabres

I know I called you out on the fact you wanted him to improve by like 10% in 1 season.

Why can’t u answer the question?

Before, u were saying a “B” prospect & maybe a first

What’s Kane worth now that his value has been dropping for 2 weeks?

Just answer it
- jdfitz77

I laughed at 1st, b prospect , roster player and conditional pick. For a rental.

I laughed at the "on going negotiations". No way the pagula's want to give him 7 x 7.

I have mentioned that he brings trouble and that in a league full of non trouble makers, why sign him?

Someone told me danny heatley killed his passenger and that I caused trouble when I was his age.

You said his value is UP. how much more is he worth now?

I don't know of any second line centers making 7.5 mil and the team is missing the playoffs


at a glance, he should be making 5.5 to 6 per, cap wise IMO based on what he has brought over the years to the sabres

Me think ROR is overpaid by 1.5m . If the whole team contributed in the goal scoring we would have a higher GF rating . Win a bunch more game , Lehner would look a whole lot better with wins in his favor. ..etc etc

- Boss34

I’ve asked u about 5 times now...

U said he’s worth a “B” prospect and maybe a 1st before

So what’s he worth NOW,
since u CONSTANTLY say his value is dropping

I agree with ror being overpaid by 1-1.5ish million, but I think you have to account for the "buffalo exchange rate"

We can't have nice things here for the going rate.
We haven't been in the playoffs in 7 years.

Ror had to see the tank slowly creeping down notingham terrace towards his front door

I think the trade talks have gotten to Kane . hasn't shown any interest like a month ago. And ROR seems like he was booted from the top club with Jack running with it. Sam seems to be following behind Jack Maybe they had some talks and its working for Sam. It surely is showing on the ice. Really think Sam felt like a step child after JAck came here.

Less

He was paid 9m this season and will be paid 8.5m next season

Then 6m each year for the next 4 years
- cabin

Yeah, we can only hold $500K if we were to trade him. I don't think you can hold bonus money. And ROR only makes $1M a year, the rest are bonuses.

Ok... so let’s say it’s the full 2mil that he’s overpaid

1) what could/should we be doing with that 2mil to make us better?

Or

2) how can we be better spending that full 7.5mil?

Can we get a “Kucherov” for that?
If so... great

If it’s 2 average guys...
i don’t see how that gets us where we wanna go?

Nice bone us

This year?
Or over say the last 3 or 4
40 games is way too small a sample size
ESP when one player is on a good team & another is on a horrible one
And the gap is MASSIVE
Perrault wouldn’t even make it to camp for Team Canada
Meanwhile, O’Reilly was starting for them
There’s a reason for that
ROR is good
Perrault is average


Also...
what are we getting if we trade ROR?
If it’s just a 2nd pair defenseman, then why overpay with ROR?
We just traded Foligno & Ennis for one
- jdfitz77

To be fair ROR was an injury replacement.

Nice bone us

I'm not entirely sure on that, and don't really feel like sifting through the CBA right now, but I know that for buyouts it only counts salary.

It was written as a buyout-proof contract. Why even worry about that now though? He's producing like a 2C.

There are many problems on this team - secondary scoring is a big one. Why pick problems with productive players?
