Why would they give up assets to move a pending ufa? Just stick him in the press box for the year and send him on his way in the off-season.

That whole conversation was pretty f'd-up.
Holding salary on a pending UFA has zero bearing on dead-money going forward into the next season...89 was thinking something else IMO. He can explain it himself.
Botts, if he has the best interests of the organization going forward, will do what is necessary to acquire whatever asset is offered in a trade of Bogo at the TDL to a contender...7th, 6th, 5th or whatever.
He a goner...along with what should be another 5 or so

Pekar traded from Barrie to Sudbury, will play on the top line with Byfield.

When I first read it sounded like ppl want to move assists to get rid of bogo. If you retain 50% and get a 5th seems like a win, just don’t “sweeten” the pot with anything just to get rid of him.

Good. He was disappointed quite during the tourney.
Would love to see him step up.

Ya, agreed, not sure of the thinking there.
Whatever...the big thing is getting money off the Cap such that rookie bonuses don't rollover into next year...maybe that was where 89 was headed? I don't know...was a very disjointed dialogue.

Evidently, when ROR left and took his After-practice Practices, the concept of investing ADDITIONAL time daily did as well.

But clearly, the Sabres record over the past 10 years leaves absolute zero room for improvement, wouldn't you agree?

Sabres haven't lost in over a week, must be doing some thing right? 👊

Hope we can say the same thing in 4 hours.

Split the next 4 games puts us at 49 points.
If you break the final 35 games into 5 segments
4-2-1 (×) 5 = 45 points

49 + 45 = 94 points
Playoff cusp

You know.... Skinner has not scored in the last 2 weeks... i say trade his a$$...

The Arizona Coyotes will continue to sit Michael Grabner in the press box.
Grabner will miss Thursday's game against the Lightning, making this the fifth straight game for him in the press box. Kyle Capobianco and Barrett Hayton are also expected to be scratched.

You know sometimes the Sabres win some games they have no business winning

Bogo in 1 shift gave Dahlin 4. D to d passes so Dahlin would break out the puck

Funny but smart. Since he can’t pass

The last blues Sabres game this year felt like that.

Like right now we have 0 zone time and losing already

Our dump and chase is the most boring hockey games i have seen in years

I'm seeing 2-3 guys we could have got for ROR instead of the trash bags we got.-

I used to b!tch about that with Ruff coaching... They have a stable of race horses and they try to make them plow fields...

You know 89... of course the Sabres don't have a ton of talent to work with as far as trades but there has to be some sort of creative way to improve this team.
