wild already have dumba and spurgeon locked up long term, and they are RD

if you add risto for your third pair, your paying over 35 mil for your d group

and the wild issues is lack of scoring

McCabe+ it is then. I'll do anything to stop seeing the pairing of McCabe and Ristolainen anymore 😂😂

I am figuring 4 mil for BOTH goalies

6 k and the backup


for dahlin
kid had 44 points his rookie season, probably 50 points this year and perhaps 60 points next year

you do everything you can to lock dahlin up on a higher 3 year bridge deal and then an 8 year deal


14 years of guaranteed dahlin is a good thing

Well for both goalie's I can see that, I will wait and see on Dahlin, but I hear you. They will have to figure something out, because goals scorer's aren't cheap.

Is it? They've averaged 3 goals per game over the last 15 games as a team.

They only scored 15 goals on their first 7 games.

I think their goaltending has been terrible lately.

Interesting proposal, but the Panthers already have $24M locked up in their top 4, and losing Trocheck would leave them with a hole at center. The Anton Stralman deal they signed might be the reason they say no?

Add Mittelstadt and give *us Pysyk back

It's a joke that the dynamic duo on D don't sit. But i do have some hope that this gong show will get cleaned up soon, if Dreger is right...

When McCabe should be sitting... I guess we have a rotation back....

Should see shortly if Gilmour gets claimed. I am guessing he will.

Rotation would imply the same player doesn't sit multiple games in a row or in a short stretch of games, but that's already proven to be a lie.

Bogoasian clearly is the spark of our playoff climb ...... (sarcasm)

If Gilmour is taken, snow ball effect on moves? Lol, one can hope (if he is taken, don’t want him to).

Raymond, Lundell, Holtz, Drysdale, Stutzle, Perfetti in that order so far for me.
- Pegullaville

I'm happy you have Raymond first I'm just praying he does nothing to up his stock he's going to be a massive franchise player for somebody his skating is incredible and his hockey IQ is off the charts of the 4 games I watched) it's hard watching an overseas player lol .. but I would be excited to draft him if we had the chance but I still say we're going to make the playoffs

The most confusing part of the defensive makeup of the team right now is how Botterill went all in during the offseason on puck moving defensemen who have a quality outlet pass, who we may not know how good they are at defense (no idea what that means anymore in today's NHL). And yet, he has refused to give up on at least one, if not both of the current group who have serious issues making an outlet pass. Sure, you can easily say the right deal hasn't come along, but the chances of it coming along don't improve when the issue is obvious to other teams. If they don't go all in on the style of defenseman Botterill seems to prefer now, how will they know if it will work?

What he did as a 16 year old at the Ivan Hlinka U18s I don’t think I’ve seen from a European draft eligible before.

I really like Lundell too and it’s a shame he just got hurt and will miss the next 6 weeks and most likely the WJC.

I don’t think the Sabres are a bottom 10 team though, they have more talent then people think and I think Botts will make a move. I just don’t think they are a playoff team either. Let’s hope for some lotto luck

Gilmour cleared

Luck? You must be new to Buffalo Sports.

When Gilmour is claimed I will be very happy with our management.

Looks like he made it through to Rochester.

It’s. Miller. Miller. Scandella. Miller. Miller. Miller. Scandella. Joker.... Miller. Miller. Miller. Miller. Monte. Joker.

You thought it was going to be a simply alternating rotation, Ralph is to complex and worldly for such things... we may need to contact Will Hunting to really figure out the pattern.... or Robert Langdon, I hear he is good at solving patterns

Nah he’s just a typical wussy who’s afraid to sit a guy wearing a letter.

They should just send Jokiharju down so he doesn’t get mentally ruined by this team.

I think my favorite is having two of the players that are bad at the outlet pass on the top pair!

Mike Babcock will be the Lighting head coach by Christmas
