I don’t think this is hard... put Okoposo in Hossa’s equipment, call it raging jock itch and LTIR him....

No offense to Okposo but he should just retire. All those concussions do a number on you.

I mean...he still has a decent, quick shot. Could be a nice power play specialist for some team, provided he has a great set-up center. He can't skate or make plays, but he still has an NHL caliber shot.

Hey, it could happen, ya never know.

I’m hoping the Sabres target Simmer. That will give a lot of Bite and Snarl to the lineup that Kruegs is looking for. What are projections for AAV and Term for him?

You want Wayne ? I honestly think he’s done I like the idea but he Looked absolutely toast with Nash

A league source told The Buffalo News that Ristolainen is still highly regarded by executives and scouts around the league who feel he has been the victim of circumstance since arriving in Buffalo. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported during the Sabres' coaching search that Botterill asked candidates how they could help Ristolainen improve, which seems to indicate the team would rather hold on to him.

That’s the sad part he’s been In the league for what 7 years he’s a vet there is no helping him now

GM Jason Botterill said there has been "dialogue" between the #Sabres and Jason Pominville. Did not rule out Pominville returning.

That would be the dirtiest thing of all time I don’t think anybody would ever sign with us ever again..

Unless Skinner knew about it then it’s OK

They would have never announced a signing if they were going to trade him 14 hours later.

A week later than perhaps I expected, but it sounds like the Jeff Skinner contract negotiations are down to crunch time. My sense is he’ll either get a deal done in the next day or two or head off to UFA. If it gets done, I’d presume it to be 8 years at around $9M AAV.



Not that hard for 39 to say its 8 years 9 mil, a day after McKenzie posted that.

So he didn’t say done deal ? If you look 39 said done deal 1 hour before bob said done deal

Yet a day after Mckenzie strongly suggested he would have a 8 year 9 mil deal within a day or two.
