And they still have McCabe and Ullmark to sign?

There has to be at least 2 more moves coming, or one big one.
- Powerslave

Definitely moves coming ...... how can you go into the season with 11 nhl d.

Even if you put pilut and bogo on IR. You still have 9 nhl d and you only need 7 on the roster to start the season

I really don't know how that stuff works.

Thanks for the A$$ whopin last night.

If Elie goes to arbitration, does he automatically receive an one way contract? Because, if so, that's another chunk of change being eaten up by the player, whether he's in Rochester or not.
- Powerslave

i didn't think thats what one way means... i thought it only meant he made the same regardless of where he was not that it always counted to the cap.. i could be wrong but if that is the case he should have not been qualified

I woke this morning, checked espn and couldn't believe the score. Had to look at twice thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. We'll probably lose tonight.

Waive Jokiharju. Then you're down to 8. We thought there were too many forwards last year but Botterill likes playing with IR.

It was like watching a horror movie last night...

Way late to the party:

Ovechkin
Ladd
Gretzky

Doesn't this team still need a legitimate 2C and 2RW?

Should be priority 1 for Botts.

Joker can go to Rochester, if need be, apparently.

You're probably right

Lazar
20goals in 57games in the minors last year

Elie
8goals in 25games, pace of 18goals in 57games

How come Lazar has upside,
and Elie is worthless???

Elie was signed to a NHL contract to ensure he didn’t leave to go to another organization
He was signed bc they value him for Rochester
Probably a good locker room guy & example for the kids

We aren’t the only team that has done this
It’s not a big deal at all

I really don’t understand why on earth anyone cares about this???

the lazar has upside, for the 20th time, comes from the sabres brass


the comments that he has size, grit and a ton of potential, comes from the sabres brass


I have heard no praise from the sabres brass regarding elie

- A player born the same year as you
- A player who has the same first name as you
- The player who won Art Ross the year you were born

Who you got?”
Mats Sundin
Chris Pronger
Phil Esposito

I give up on these people that get upset because others want elie off the sabres 50 man roster

elie must be the savior and I am too blind to see it

Or...and hear me out on this one...Elie being on the 50-man roster or not has zero effect on whether or not this team will be good.

strongly disagree

it should be to have the best 50 man roster


an unknown is a better contract then a known elie

WJ Summer Showcase has Johnson, Samuelsson, Cederqvist, Portillo and Cronholm. Nice to see a cluster of mid round Swedes invited. Cozens isn't Caufield, so he was not invited.

What if Elie is valuable to the Amerks

sign him to an AHL deal if you want him in rochester... i agree with you on him

I was listening to NHL network yesterday and they gave each gm a grade on their last 12 months. Botterill got a D.

That didn't include the ROR trade

I know they see value in him for Rochester, so I really don't understand what they're doing here. He's going to be scooted away on waivers. Hell, someone might just claim him and that will be that.
