They passed on generational talent in Rossi for a bum

The only thing McDavid is better at is getting Covid.

Boom roasted.

He'll get his shot in the desert with Selke Larry.

I'll leave you gents to it with the Kahun Kalamity

The new GM is bad. At least we found out really quickly this time

- dmarsden2988

a "generational talent" wouldn't have lasted to eight...and besides, the devils passed on him too and you just don't pass up a "generational talent" under any circumstances

And they're not letting Kahun walk

The ball isn’t in their court now though

Not that I agree with Quinn over Rossi but Rossi isn't a generational talent, high end yes
- Leninthebuff

I was being sarcastic

Quinn will be good, like other prospects it all depends how they develop

I thought the devil's were going to take Rossi but went with holtz

4 teams passed on Rossi.

He should not have been there for Buffalo to pick in the first place

disregard my previous post...sarcasm detector needs new batteries

I'd say likely - the UFA market is going to be tight for mid/low end players.

This is a good point. Many teams are trying to dump salary now and not take on expensive third line salaries. On a good team, he is a 3rd liner, bad team he might be able to play second.

The Sabres didn't want to risk what arbitration would award him and have taken a risk during this time of teams cutting salary. We'll see how it works out. I'm more disappointed we are still waiting for an impact move.

senators didn't QO Duclaire
- Leninthebuff

Size, speed, scoring... checks all 3 boxes
They should at least inquire

Pick 193: Albert Lyckasen D SWE 5' 11" 187lbs.

Duclair has decided to represent himself....two sides could not agree on an extension.

Ottawa did not qualify him

Well they better swing for the fences then in UFA or in the trade market.

Hopefully they make a splash because right now I'm not happy

I’m guessing there is an offer on the table or in the works for Kahun so they did not want to insult him with the one year league min qualifying offer

If they’re worried about arbitration with Kahun, they better have ducks in a row for Reinhart because hoo buddy

Must be something on Rossi and Perfetti the scouts are not seeing. Size, soft? I don’t know, but for 8 teams scouts to pass there is something off.

can't disagree here either!

i'm wondering what the qualifying offer would have been...

he signed a 2yr./$7.550M deal with $2.850M in performance bonuses...do they go off of the base salary or the total AAV?

That's what I was wondering, cause his AAV is 3.7mill, probably smart they didn't want to go to Arb. If it is AAV.

BUF is going to have some options. Toffoli for a top 6 spot. maybe a guy like Abdelkader, Duclair for the 4th line..
