Yeah, and I think it's you. He's a career net minus possession player, a career 54.5% O-Zone starter, apparently now that +/- is a thing again, he's not good at that either.

Boom or bust signing. Good offensive player, can't stay healthy, short contract without big money. If he's healthy, it's a great signing, if he's not, oh well, 2 years at a relatively cheap AAV isn't going to break the team, can always buy him out after this year.

Botterill gets an A- on this one.

tough guy

I mentioned this earlier, but it's funny that it's the same contract that post-concussion Connolly got from Toronto. Hopefully it works out better for us than it did for them. I think it will.

Johansson had good stats in the playoffs, so I'm not worried about him being shot already. The risk is if he gets another TBI

He hasn’t missed that much time either the past 3-4 years.

Played an 82 game season before this year

Great move by jbotts.

Wait out the initial rush, then sign him under great term and money

Trade for Bennett. Give them the lion feaster and a pick. They need cap space

I don’t think these guys are “adds”
I would be disappointed if we sign them.

There's no cap room for more bottom 6'ers

I wonder if 3ER approved this PUTZ signing

Skinner - Eichel - Johansson
VO - xxx - Reinhart
Vesey - Mitts - Sheary
Girgs - Erod - Okposo

And the cycle continues...

July: Yes!!! We got “insert 3rd liner / bottom pairing dman here”! Murray / Botterill is the best!!

Feb: Sabres out of playoff contention

May: I really hope we can package “insert 3rd liner / bottom pairing dman” with Alex Nylander to get a top six forward!

Okposo, Scandella, Bogosian, Miller, Johansson....they’re all the same, fellas. This is a superstar driven league, and the Sabres continue to throw money at marginal talent

There’s a phrase used often on these boards that describes the absence of his input today.

I like Bennett, I would maybe try scandella or bogo.

Maybe I'm on an island, but I like girgs still.

Cheap and good effort. Seems to like playing for the Sabres and living in buffalo

Where's the grit though? Girgs?

Miller, vesey, mojo not exactly snarly

You're on an island

The New York Islanders and Montreal Canadiens are reportedly considering presenting Mitch Marner with an offer sheet.
The Islanders have a connection to Marner given that Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello was the general manager of the Maple Leafs from the summer of 2015 until the summer of 2018. Meanwhile, Montreal has already shown a willingness to go the offer sheet route when they signed Sebastian Aho to one. It's worth noting that offer sheets have to be accepted by the player and the Leafs will have an opportunity to match the offer sheet if it does happen.

Saw this on capfriendly and it seems realistic and like a team that could contend

If Johansson can play center I like the move as a low risk deal and year-stop gap at 2C till Mittelsadt or Cozens can play. If he's LW then I don't know what they're planning on doing...

LW depth:
Skinner
Johansson
Olfosson
Sheary
Vesey
Girgensons
Smith
Sobotka?
Rodrigues?

With current roster, I'd construct the team like this

Skinner Eichel Sheary
Olofsson Johansson Reinhart
Vesey Mittelstadt Nylader
Smith Rodrigues Okposo

Need help on RW or for Nylander or Thompson to step it up this year

Girgs is fine. He's vanilla. He's also been here forever. We shouldn't be afraid to lose him though. If the Sabres can take a shot at a 3rd overall pick with some snarl, you do it 8 days a week imo. If the flames want cost certainty from a bottom-6 player, I'd offer Girgs and a pick, although we probably missed the boat by extending him for 1 year to get him to UFA
