I only posted here tonight to point out that some of you need to get a hobby, honestly, it's intolerable reading the same things posted literally 500 times per blog by the same 4 or 5 people.

Obviously not everyone is doing it. You know who you are. That classic Buffalonian insecurity is something fierce though.

Some of us? I'd say 100%, but you can only jerk off so much before PornHub sends you a cease and desist because you use too much of their bandwidth.

First season for the Las Vegas Knights and they have the (frank)ing coolest entrance than the Sabres have had in the last 10 years
- gerbe75pts


Yeah, it's also Las Vegas, kind of what they do.

* = cap hits are approximate
Eichel- 10.0
O’Reilly- 7.5
Okposo- 6.0
Reinhart- 4.0*
Ristolainen- 5.4
Bogosian- 5.1
Scandella- 4.0
McCabe- 2.5*
Nelson- 2.0*

So that’s 46.5 million
I didn’t estimate Ullmark, bc idk if he will be our “starter” then or if we will have another goalie here

So, like i said.....
if there’s no major moves made then everyone filling out the roster will cost around 1 mil

That’s about another 15 mil,
taking us to just over 60 mil

Cap hit next year is supposed to be around 80,
plus whatever it goes up for the following season

So yeah,
around 20mil in room

Stop telling me I’m wrong,
when I’m NOT

- jdfitz77

Ya, I was a bit hasty there. There's a lot to guess at when you just toss out a number. If you don't put goalies in there, there is still stuff eating into it. I just assume you're estimating low on salaries, and I do think you did.

There's some question as to whether he'll be healthy enough to be bought out, but point taken. Not one of my better ideas

I think u still can
Happened with Drury & the Rangers

Pretty sure there’s some kind of loophole

Would be nice if they started showing a strong dislike for the other teams in their division. Eichel included.

Go get Boroweicki out of Ottawa. Shouldn’t take much. Yes 365 and Broads, I am being serious.

- Hatboro_Swords


Sure, if the division actually meant anything, we play conference opponents just as much as division ones.

Eichel sure likes to score on the Leafs

- Lunaion


What salaries am I low on?
Can’t see Nelson or McCabe getting more than 2-2.5
Sam around 4 seems right
Even if it’s 5, that’s only 1mil more

And with a good year, i can’t see Ullmark at more than 2.5

And i did say without any major moves

I’m sure we will do something...
just trying to show how much room we do have to make those moves

I'm not even trying to start crap but you're honestly the biggest joke on here.

For a bartender, you sure don't have a life.

I may be hot-headed and opinionated but I haven't been spending the past 3 months on here writing dissertations that say the same thing over and over ad nauseam.

But you clearly have mad skillz being able to bartend on allen st and simultaneously write 500 word posts on hockeybuzz that somehow say absolutely nothing of substance.

I was banned for a while but I stopped coming here before and after it because there's literally nothing to say about this team, it's management or it's fanbase anymore.

I only posted here tonight to point out that some of you need to get a hobby, honestly, it's intolerable reading the same things posted literally 500 times per blog by the same 4 or 5 people.

Let's be honest here we're all secretly losers if you post on a sports message board ..

but that's what hardcore fans do

Compher doesn’t look like he’s gonna be more than a 3rd liner (doesn’t score)
Not that he isn’t a nice player,
but we have a bunch of 3rd line talent

Zadorov could grow into something,
but has been pretty up & down to this point from what I’ve heard

Plus,
If we do trade O’Reilly...
maybe we get pieces back that are better than them

And to think some of us thought he was a decent player. Me included.
