Any idea who the Kings are looking at?

Less money, young player(s) and pick(s).

He won't waive, he wants to stay in L.A. as of now.
- SABRES 89


That’s ok by me
Cater is declining & signed for 3 more years,
i think
And i don’t think Toffoli is a great fit either
Doesn’t he have as many goals as Okposo this year?
And he’s not a great skater at all
I thought we wanted to get faster up front?

Who said anything about yelling at players?
Reed.
What the (frank) dude.

- TheHank


Oh, sorry...
it’s yelling at the Refs that would magically make Okposo better

Got it

Carter would be a very good 2nd line center and adding Toffoli would be a good add as well. Changes the team, doubt it happens though.

Toffoli and Carter
- SABRES 89



Carter?
Jesus Christ played with him in the '01 sezson, 0001 season.
He's old as hell and has a $5.3m conteact for 3 more years.
If that is true, is Botts building the old fogy lin with him Okposo and Pommer.
Christ I hope not

McCabe can play the right side, dahlin can play the right side...Scandella and Bogosian will both be gone sometime between now and the end of next season...am pretty sure guhle has another season where he can remain waivers-exempt...

the amerks are headed to the playoffs this year and might be able to put together a good run...i'd like to see how he performs the rest of the way

- Michael Pachla


Sure
But Botts isn’t forming a roster with Dahlin & McCabe on the right
Even putting one of them there seems like something they’d prefer not to do

Alec Martinez would be a nice add also.

Changes the team...
but neither play the style that Botts supposedly wants
Don’t think either is a great fit in that regard

What style? the Sabres have no style or system, we are getting our asses kicked each game.

Kovy would interest me if he wasn't 6.25 for 3 more years.

Botts has said bumerous times that he wants more SPEED up front

Neither Carter, nor Toffoli, are fast

Decent secondary scorers perhaps,
but I’d prefer us to look at other options

Yes

But that’s irrelevant

A coach yelling at the Refs doesn’t make anyone more talented or play better-
not for an extended amount of time

AGAIN...
if Housley had flipped out, would he be a better coach?
No, i don’t think so

Toffoli is fast, he just needs a change of scenery.
