Gerbe posted a very cryptic message after the Hall post insinuating he's either a Pegula, or related to them, which makes sense. So I think it was a mic drop moment for him

He isn’t a Pegula.

He does have ties to the org.

I’ll leave it at that

I guess I shouldn't expect people to read and follow discussions before commenting. It is a lot to ask.

So here's the scenario. The Sabres have 13 forwards, inc Cozens, Reinhart and Olofsson.

They've made it perfectly clear they want Eat-kids here. Same with Reider for PKing. Probably a 13th forward. They signed Lazar for two years to play in Buffalo. The 3 of them are not getting demoted.

So let's pretend they sign Haula. Where are they putting him, what's his role, since they want both Lazar/Reider and Eakin in the lineup?

I'm not saying what you, Hockeybuzz Poster, would do, I'm saying, with what the Sabres have already done in FA, why are they signing Haula.

I don't like the Girgensons money but I don't mind the player for what he does on the team. He should be paid a million less based on market.

I also don't know the work level Reinhart puts in, so I didn't list him. He doesn't ever seem to pop up on the "this guy busts his ass" comments from the media, but you don't hear about him NGAF either. I truly don't know.

I know Skins works hard too, but I don't know if he does it consistently.

- TheSabresTaco


Girgensons is very good player, coming off a a contract that he outplayed -

12 goals - averaging almost 14 minutes a game.

The market, just like the stock market changes.
Krueger didnt have the benefit of seeing the stalled ufa signings.

Most around here are gonna like the lion eater again, when were a good team.



Why isnt anyone talking about bogo for 4.5 million less, vesey for 4 million less this year and Simmonds signing cheap in Toronto?

They are paying those guys 4 million total?
We paid them over 12 last year.

So, I wasn't in here on Sunday before Hall was signed, but clearly I need to back read.

Yeah funny thing is we were tracking the Pegula jet from Hall's hometown thinking it was him. Looks like it turned out it wasn't as he's never left Canada (I speculated Canada wouldn't allow it). Gerbe did have it right in that Ralph could be a big factor in recruiting Hall

Yeah we were the only place in the world speculating he could come to Buffalo and had a great time talking to it on this thread. When it broke that he was signing in Buffalo none of us believed it.

Girgensons:

First round pick
Drafted as a center, now a winger
Handed everything
Not as cute as Pominville

Am I playing this game right?

Friedman mentioned that the Sabres were in on Hall, weeks ago.

But I agree as no one ever thought it was possible.
