at 86.5MM i was having a hard time putting a roster together.

I signed

Reinhart - 7 X 7
VO - 3.95 X 2
Vesey - 2.5 X 3
Lazar - 1.45 X 2
Simmonds - 1.75 X 1
Kahun - 2.75 X 3
Larsson - 2.5 X 3
Montour - 5.25 X 5
Ullmark - 2.25 X 2

Only 7 Mil Left.


the Sabres have very little actual cap space.

It was always going to have to happen via trade, and $7 million in space is more than enough to not be handcuffed by "money in-money out".

Also, I have a hard time seeing them giving Montour a 5 year deal and keeping Ristolainen on. One of the two are out of here eventually.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Miller traded in a package for something. Montour or Risto traded for something

This makes little sense to trade away ALL of our D-men. Who the heck is going to replace them?

maybe 1 goes and for me it would be Risto, i think you can get the most of him.

Couple things:

Jordan didn't quit the NBA, he was suspended indefinitely, a few of us have discussed this before, you can find the interview on youtube, he literally says "If they will let me come back I will" at some point, implying he's been reprimanded.

Homie: Turns out corona virus wasn't "created in a lab" but it was "leaked" from a lab where they were experimenting with it, so, you were kind half right : P

Also,

Suck it Beady.

Bravo, seriously, nice to see someone go through the effort.
Next step is figuring out where you get room to acquire:
2C
2RW, 3RW, 3C depending on where you see Kahun and Cozens fit
1G or 2G depending on where you slot Ullmark
2LHD, or not depending on what you view McCabe and Pilut
1RhD, IMO they don't have one, but have probably 3 of 2RhD's in Risto, Montiur, Joker

So, the opportunity to secure those positions depends on sorting out which 2RhD to retain and who to sell

Would think one is moved ASAP as we would lose one or the other in the expansion draft.

Funny how it "leaked" out and that was the last we heard about the Hong Kong protests.

Looking at Calgary and having recently done them a favor by taking Frolik's cap hit, wonder if they would be a good trade partner.
They have 3 centers, Monahan, Backlund and Lindholm signed for 4, 5 and 5 years respectively, but have no true RW. With Reinhart being from the BC area, wonder if they would consider trading either Monahan or Lindholm for Sam? I would think that it would be a good hockey trade for both teams and don't think much would have to be added either way.

Edit: I should have added that they also have Derek Ryan and Jankowski who play center as well

I am.
Moved to Brentwood and we didn't get hit.
My old place almost got hit.
We have a few restaurants in Germantown so we are waiting to hear from them if they need anything.

Boychuk Injury Update from Lou Lamoriello: “Johnny Boychuk is ok. Fortunately the skate blade just got the eyelid. It took 90 stitches for a plastic surgeon to fix. But he’ll be fine.” #Isles https://t.co/vYfsx9MAYO


Just got the eyelid and took 90 stitches? How big are his eyelids?

Monahan would cost way more than Reinhart alone. We would have to add big. He’s a #1 Center. Sam would bring a good #3 Center in alone.

Its a hard pass on Duchene for me, we complain about skinners contract and Duchene has 12 goals and 40 points making 8 mil...

if it were me I would target Kadri, Rakell, RNH

additionally, I would not mind if we could get Malkin out of Pitts for the next 3 years. I would gladly give Pitts, my protected #1, Mitts, Risto and a prospect.

i know that is a lot but it would give Dylan time to mature.
