You're just cycling between two points.

Here's what you said:

"I think the plan is that we don’t have anyone else RIGHT NOW that can do it
So until we do... Larsson & Girgs are it

I’m sure Botts would like some quality 2way forwards for the middle6"

It seems to imply that you think that's a realistic outcome whether it's June 26,July 26 or September 26. I am hyper aware of what day it is btw

Yeah... but what the date is, is the point
There’s still 3 months for aborts to make moves

Im gonna need someone to post a calendar that highlights the RDD (roster discussion day) when we're allowed to talk about the projected roster for '19-'20

Honestly, how can you or anyone project a roster in June? There will be trades. Guaranteed. There will be a FA signing or two.

All that is, is self-loathing and the old misery loves company comfort-in-numbers.

Easy there cowboy. I wouldn't say I like myself, but I don't hate myself

when did he get sent down?


I am not the one who said we are going to build a fast upbeat north south team


I am not the one who said from this day forward money is no object for the sabres

1) do u really think Elie is making the roster???
Come on

2) you’re right, and that’s clearly a work in progress
Remind me though,
when you know who got traded...
who was it that said Berglund & Sobatka weren’t the types of players we supposedly wanted to bring in & play that fast up tempo style?
That’s right, me
Way to jump on board finally a year later

3) When the Pegulas hired GMTM, most here liked it
And when they hired Botts, most here liked it


Everybody still thinks changes need to be made
I’m sure that includes Botts
Like has been said by others...
if this is the roster in 3months,
Then it’s tome to flip our sh!t

Not bc we qualified a guy who’s gonna play on Rochester
That’s just dumb

If the middle 6 is changed, but Larsson is still on the team, is that a nightmare scenario?

I think the point is that the time for changing the NHL roster hasn't really come up yet. As homie said only 12 trades have happened thus far, plenty of those were minor league deals as well.

You qualify them in case you can't sign or trade for better replacements. Worst case scenario you have to bury them in the minors for a year and pay maybe 500k of their cap hits.

A well thought out and completely rational response

Nice post

lets not forget last year was the secret tank. If only they had brought up the youngsters earlier... So, with that said, only objective this off season was to resign skinner and sign a competent coach. Objectives accomplished. (cue the Bush mission accomplished GIF) And here's what we have:

Skinner - Eichel - Sam
VO - Middlestadt - Okposo
Nylander - ERod - Tage
Girgs - Larry - Wilson


This is said somewhat sarcastically, but I'm starting to think this may actually be what happens.

Also, I don't want to see Pominville anymore.

don't spend money
don't move draft picks
don't make any trades


remain calm

all is well

pk, third in the norris last season is too expensive to fix the D

Duchene will be too expensive to fish the O


it's 2019

a good second pair d man gets 5-6 mil per


a 40 goal scorer gets 9 mil per


a 30 goal scorer gets 7 mil per

Neither Boston nor St. Louis had a defenseman making over $5.5 million.

Teams that tend to pay 30 goal scorers $7 million usually don't end up being very good.

The going rate is usually inflated by bad teams. It's the teams that end up avoiding it that end up winning championships.

You mean like drafting Mackinnon and getting him signed at $6.9M per ? Must be nice. At least in a few years Eichel at $10M will look like highway robbery the way these contracts are going.
