Awesome, so far the one thing I have learned about my new girl is that she is already louder than my son

I haven’t worn one in 3 years and I just turned 23 last week. Birth control is a beautiful thing.

On the “ask” it surely does

But in that same respect,
the Sabres would probably point to a contract like Kucherov who was making
4.77mil per, for 3yrs

Works both ways

I’m just saying there’s other contracts that are more appropriate for comparison

Somewhere around 5-5.5mil for a long term deal should be about right

I’d sign Sam to a 1yr, 4mil per deal personally

- jdfitz77


I thought of the kuch deal as well, I don’t know about a one year I’d prefer 2 years at 4.5 per

That just the other end of the extreme deals out there
Just playing Devil’s Advocate to the Wilson comparable

For me, 1 good year from Sam would be enough for me to prove he deserves something like 5.5mil long term
Although if we gave him that now i wouldn’t be too upset or anything
Just a little nervous

Maybe sam feels like the Sabres kinda sabotaged him last year, by playing him at 3c with very little talent?

It would presumably work for both sides

Sabres get to be sure last year’s 1st half was a fluke
Sam can have another productive season & demand more $$$ than he can now

Didn’t he only play 3C for like 10-12 games?

I’m a Sam supporter,
but we need to stop blaming that for the other 30-ish games where he sucked

I’m guessing they had hoped Sam could elevate Pouliot & Griffith,
but that was a tough ask
I still wouldn’t mind seeing Sam at Center
But he needs a guy who can finish

That’s been our big problem 5v5 imo
Not enough guys who can finish
Too many “playmakers”

We haven’t had an adequate supply or depth of talent generally. We asked too few guys to try to make the team win. 5 guys can’t do the job of 20 - and the fan base ran off at least on of the 5.

I guess O’Reilly is half & half playmaker/scorer

Kane was a scorer
And Okposo was supposed to be, but idk?

I guess the better way to put it would’ve just been to leave it at needing more scorers to go with Jack & Sam
Bc it seems like their first instincts are to pass instead of shoot

For sure
But every time i said we didn’t have depth,
I’d just hear how it was all O’Reilly & Kane’s fault
And that they should’ve magically became better players when we got them
