They got stuck like this with Skinner, as soon as Mark Stone got that contact, Botterill was screwed. There was no way Skinner was getting less then 9, but he should have.

Definitely didn't help. But unless you have someone in your cross hairs and are ready to pull the trigger, Rhino is a guy you keep. There's still some good players out there in FA, gonna be a buyers market soon.

That’s a weak excuse for us looking that crappy

Bottom line, you can't spot a team 3 TDs and expect to win.

As not a fan of the Bills, yeah it’s not a good look complaining at this point. Tenn just played a better game. Injuries happen all the time (GB fan, when Rodgers breaks his collarbone again I don’t get to complain when love can’t hit the broad side of it, it just sucks) bills are a good squad. Flawed, but who isn’t? Saying they’re gonna go 16-0 is dumb. 12-4 poop 11-5 is a successful season for nearly every team. That’s the mark, along with winning the East. And have the team show their shoring up stuff that’s leaking.

Look at that

I do think we win the division
But I’d like to see us take a step to winning in the playoffs at this point

It’s been tough being a Buffalo fan these past couple decades

I always thought that Reinhart and Hoffman would get around the same money, Toffoli is a step below IMO of those 2 guys.

The difference is that you'd only be buying out 1 UFA year with Sam. Makes it pretty high. If that's Sam's ask, makes a lot of sense.

I know half of it. It also happens to be the one I’m most passionate about though. It’s been bad

The Broncos and Bills have swapped places.

However I think the Sabres have a good shot this year so that’s always good.

I can’t complain too much

Hmm, 7 mil for Rhino. Just 1 mil less than Taylor Hall in a UFA year. I don't see him being up to that level and first-line UFA' contracts are usually higher because teams are competing against others.

I’m assuming we won’t make any more moves till we get Sam, Ullmark & Olofsson signed
Then we’ll know what kind of Cap Room we’ve got available

Then we need a goalie upgrade
And a LD if we trade one of the RH guys

Hall has had two very good seasons and an Mvp season but also a lot of “meh” ones or ones the people female dog about Reinhart having for a number two overall pick.

Ralph: I have only had the privilege of coaching two players with the world class talent and who compete and that is Taylor and Jack Eichel. (summary)

Please don't compare Sam to Taylor and downgrade that move already to build up Sam because you need to be on the Sam train.

Hall won a Hart trophy and had 30 more points then the next closest player on his team.

Durability has been his issue. He needs to stay healthy, when he’s healthy he drives a line and can get almost a PPG.

His career average is 74 points a season. He has never really had an elite Center to play with either.

I’m excited to see how this plays out.

I like Sam.

But.....Hall>>>>Reinhart by a mile if we take out last year

I think Hall bounces back

Crazy if true

It kinda makes sense just because Moss might be in and out with a toe injury and Bell is great in the pass game

But I doubt it happens

I think their plan is to eventually move Sam and try and keep Hall.

Quinn will replace Reinhart eventually

Not that I agree with it necessarily but that’s my opinion

It is not.

Look, we all want Sam to be better, especially given his draft position and who was taken after him.

But As long as Eichel is here, so is Reinhart. Why would you trade Eichel's Kunitz, who is the same age more or less, and why would you do it banking on an unproven player?

They should be dangling Olofsson, who is basically a smaller Kotalik until further notice. Try to get Skinner out of here and see if Seattle is interested waaaaay before you consider trading Sam, especially if he signs that 3/21 deal 89 mentioned, by then, Okposo is off the books and you figure it out from there.

Anyone trying to trade Reinhart, fans and ownership alike, is out of their minds.

And I'm not even a fan of his. But he's never hurt, and will put up 60+ per on Eichel's RW. Why would you trade that? Cozens and Quinn can play together down on line 2 and if Skinner is still around, and if Hall signs an extention, then that's a pretty solid top-6.

I'm more worried they're going to pay Olofsson to be a wimpy perimeter PP-specialist and try to shove him down our throats like Darcy did with Kotalik.
