Has this been mentioned:

#FlaPanthers have been trying to move D Anton Stralman and his $5.5 M cap hit. #Sabres are interested.

Either way, expect Bill Zito to go hard after Torey Krug if and when he hits market

Haven’t heard this, but I’ve been hoping that trying to move Stralman was on Zito’s list. Can’t see why they’d add Krug while Yandle is still a Panther. But, Idk what new GM Zito may do. He is earning more trust from me with the start he’s off to, though.
Rumors persist that FL is in on Pietrangelo, too.
I’d hate to see them move Weegar, & I don’t think they will move Weegar. But, if Pietro actually signs here, who knows what could happen around that.

Adams sounds like he understands that. That's why I'm optimistic.
- TheSabresTaco

He’s done the opposite of what he’s actually said so far so I admire the optimism but he’s in over his head

Hopefully they stick him on the third line after the arb award.

Last thing we need is him to pop off with Eichel again and cash in big time

- Pegullaville


But if he does stick with Eichel and then gets his huge deal, that's when we move him to the 3rd line

You're still trying to figure out why Reinhart was taken before Drats. Let's be honest.

I've seen this.. If it's that easy, just get rid of the RFA thing all together. If clubs aren't going to use it (I know, it's just us) seems like a waste. Kahun was under Buf control. It wasn't a calculated risk, it was just dumb.

There's an actual possibility that he was going straight to arb and earning 3.5+ and that would screw with the Sabres' plans to add a more effective winger.

Don’t have to look far to see why this organization is still in shambles.

Can’t draft worth a poop

Ok so qualify him and trade him

It’s not hard

They gambled that he wouldn’t find much on the open market and they’d be in a better spot to negotiate for well below what he’d get in arbitration

They lost because they’re lost

Cuz he went with his scouts opinions and not yours, or john Elway's .....

You got your allegiances backwards, you should root for the Bills and the Avalanche
