Another thought...how involved was management/coaching/ownership/Jack, in snagging Hall? We know the coaching relationship, but, was said relationship that impactful? Did Jack reach out? Does ownership have a win-now mandate? How did our stripped-down management team help or hinder this process..despite it being a one year deal, this takes a lot of work. I dunno, just super interested in the whole process of making the this happen.

Roslovic is available.

Risto/Miller for Roslovic?

I think a D goes for a goalie.

I don’t see how they can add anymore forwards

I wonder if they make an exception for one year with the pandemic and the OHL probably not playing

And Taylor Hall has not?
- Stripes77



I think that was the point of slaves post.

Sabres are 4th in 10 years

Kahun 4 teams potentially in 3 years.
Maybe kahun signs a 8 year deal? 🤞

Good thought. I was thinking that, too.

Maybe give each organization a certain number of junior eligible players that they can send to AHL?

But he won a Hart Trophy and with some nasty stats. They needed the money they are saving on him for Hall. Girgs plays a different game and brings different qualities. I think we can lay the Kahun debate to rest.

I'm looking forward to see what they do next via trade.

With a lot of 2 games in 3 nights coming this might happen.

Even that NCAA is going to allow kids from junior in Canada come play if they want

The only concern I have is much like E Kane, Hall likes to carry the puck. Jack and Hall going to mesh like that.

Or will Hall play with Staal?

- ImThatGuy



Put Skinner with eichel
Hall with stahl and olofsson . Let Victor do the shooting. Hall will pass

seems Terry is a damn good poker player

I am still speechless

- homiedclown



My buddy was all over it Friday. Texted me again yesterday morning. Check the thread.

Gerbe slammed dunked it.
I'm not sure if anyone has pinned down a situation from top to bottom like gerbe did.

PROPS 75.

I also mentioned a Tampa type approach, with some high end talent. home grown talent and some cheap try hard guys mixed in. Add at the deadline, for a real run.

Everyone was calling the managers over kahun being mismanaged

In case you haven’t really seen. People are ripping Hall right now for playing on crap teams and a lot of them for that matter.

It’s not going unnoticed.

- ImThatGuy



I didn't see
I dont care

We signed a former nhl mvp
No assets given
No losing on purpose

What this does for eichel is hard to put into words.

La la , mogilny and may
Hall , eichel and girgensons
