You think every player is a bad fit
- SABRES 89

Well a lot are bad fits bc of their age or contract
Idk how anyone can deny that?

It’s not just about getting good players,
it’s about getting the RIGHT ones

I don’t think I’m off base saying that

I can care less about that crap, if it even happened. Hoffman is a good player, we need a 2nd line center............ period. Hoffman and Stone are not that, love to have either player but................. Botterill could send a shock wave through if he parts with 2 of the 3 1st round picks we have. Then you could see a Stone, Duchene or.........
- SABRES 89

Hoffman is on a good contract but is more of a short term solution.

getting better players than we have, makes no sense...
- gordong

There comes a time when you have to stop saying "this guy doesn't fit" or " it's the wrong time" or " to much money". When is it enough and we start grabbing a player or 2 like this .

Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin obvi
- TheSabresTaco

If they were free agents they would be getting 12m

Hoffman is on a good contract but is more of a short term solution.
- sabresfan69

He's a good player that can help for the next 3-4 years.

Better chance atHoffman then Huberdeau IMO, but I like both.
- SABRES 89

Than we could sign Karlsson in the summer

Exactly, you have to take a chance and you also have to take what is available.

People think UFAs are just waiting to come here.

9m is not much when the cap goes up every year.

Okposo and Pommers makes more. I will take Duchene over Okposo and Pommers and play a rookie on the 4th line.

Some people just dont get it

Is he considering it (parting w a first or two)?

He is a free agent next year then goes from 5m to 8m

I was being a smartass... I agree with you.

- gordong

I heard Botterill has interest in Kalrsson but that is an off season conversation. Highly doubt you see Karlsson in the Blue and Gold.

That would make for a fun dressing room, lol

I know you were, Ottawa is a train wreck so hard to guess who is saying what is the truth.

No chance Karlsson comes here and if he does you will have to pay a premium to get him.

- Powerslave

yes it would give us something to talk about though.

I would think Huberdeau and Skinner might be a fine match, too.

Heck, let's get them both.
- Powerslave

My dream LOL:

- Sign Skinner
- Trade a 1st+ for Jonathan Huberdeau from the Panthers ($5.9M for the next 4 years and he turns 26 in June)
- Trade a 1st+ for Toffoli and Kempe from the Kings (Toffoli will need to be extended as he has one year left on his deal at $4.6M and Kempe is an RFA C. Toffoli will be 27 in April and Kempe will be 23 in September)

Is he considering it (parting w a first or two)?
- Powerslave

I heard he will consider moving 1 or 2 of the 1st round picks we have for the right deal, now he's keeping under his hat so to speak.

I know you were, Ottawa is a train wreck so hard to guess who is saying what is the truth.
- SABRES 89

I'd take all three of those guy's from Ottawa...

Some like name calling and then an empty threat. I would MUCH rather entertain that if you would like?
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

Still not interested in sharing the 9m dollar players? I see. Enjoy your day

my dream
sign skinner

trade three first round picks (not all three of this years one next year) + nylander+Guhle and a 2nd round pick for Duchene, Stone, Dzingel all sign to an extension.

If your going to dream, dream big

Offersheet Point
7yrs, 11mil per
Would be REALLY tough for Tampa to match
*they’d probably find a way though

Why trade for those guys when u can go after them as UFAs?

No reason to give up assets if we don’t hve to

stop (frank)ing with my dream please....

I just wanna see that lineup...

Huberdeau would be a giant, massive upgrade to Erod or Sheary in our top 6.

How is that not a fit?

Duchene to Columbus is being reported everywhere.
