Andrew Allens job should be in jeopardy.
When was the last time a goalie that the Sabres drafted became successful at the NHL level.
Not blaming it all on Allen but for the accolades heard on how good of a goalie coach he is I haven't seen results.

He's been here 3 seasons. Your expectations seem a little high.

From CapFriendly:

BUF gets:
Patrick Kane

CHI gets:
Okposo, McCabe, Nylander, 2019 BUF 1st, 2019 SJS 1st.


would you?

2 1sts...no....I'd do our 2019 1st and 2nd.

This is a rebuild move and by all accounts Chicago isn't looking to do that. That said, it seems fair for both sides. An all-time great goal scorer in his prime would not come cheap.

irbe did bolt when Nolan was fired...too bad...he did a fine job
- Michael Pachla

He did an awesome job. Do you remember the crap goalies that were suddenly playing out of their minds on one of the worst teams in league history? GMTM was actively trading them away because they were too good.

Enroth
Neuvirth

You get Kane and get out from under Okposo's deal.....I think you'd have to.

Is this a realistic scenario in your mind?

Someone mentioned he turned down 8 mill a year, if it's not money has to be Torts he has issues with you would think.

So good of a job, Tim Murray was trading goalies faster than anything.

Sabres open at home Thursday october 4th vs. The Bruins.

Bruins play at The Capitals the day before
Wednesday October 3rd

Exciting start to the dahlin era

That is my 2nd thought. First being that he wants to go back to a perennial contending team.

Assuming Panarin was willing to re-sign, is this close to fair?

ROR, Okposo and 2019 SJS 1st for Panarin (extended at whatever he wants) and Dubinsky

I was about to say that on way CLB takes that much salary but us taking Dubinsky...

One of their worst contracts next to Foligno. I could be closer.

I think Okposo has a NMC though? Not sure of the specifics of it. CLB could be a hard sell. I'd be on board though.

Panarin - Jack - Sam


yea... count me in.

I think this is probably the only way we can make panarin work, we would need to get rid of RoR and Okpo salaries

Dubinsky is somehow making $5.8, so it wouldnt clear a ton of money, but Pominville and Moulson come off next year. Maybe Ottawa would take Bogo and a pick to get the floor

Oh hell yeah, Where do I sign?

Terrible to hear that.... College level used him up and didn't care about the future results.
- JVince11

That is what the College system is all about, Clemson did the same thing top Shaq Lawson, their motto is let the pros fix the problem and if the guy don't go pro, too bad, so sad.

Why wouldn't GMJB qualify Adam Wilcox to play back in Rochester? he had a pretty decent season, He would be comfortable with the situation and he would be a help to Johansson. If he is going to be a career AHLer, why he can't he do it for us?

wilcox is a ufa, he has a say in where his career goes.

Imagine they have to be looking hard for a goalie in Rochester that they are comfortable with in Buffalo in the case of injury. Not sure that's Wilcox.

UEL signed his ELC now too. The likely option is that he will be loaned back to Sweden to finish the last year of his contract there.

The other option would be to sign RFA Jason Kasdorf to share duties with Johansson in Rochester.

There are only 31 UFA goalies on the entire market according to CapFriendly.

I wouldn't mind someone like a Zatkoff, Gudlevskis, Tokarski, or Wedgewood. Especially the first two.

I wonder if Enroth is looking for an AHL gig?

It'd be kinda weird if we signed Zatkoff but sure why not

Would you go from the #1 for Minsk Dynamo w/ no taxes on your salary to a travel by bus AHLer again on a peanuts deal?
