you could build a pretty good bottom six with the names out there today- Martin, Simmonds, Ryan, Johnson, Kahun, and more!

Ek says Holtby to Vegas, because just what they need, more Goalies. They're playing the Sabres RHD game.

Solid bridge, woulda liked a longer term imo.

EDIT: Unless this keeps him as an RFA

How are you sold that giving him a 4-8 year deal would be “value”? Dude has a great shot, but I don’t want to be stuck for years if that is all he has.

Its girgs for 2.2 or kahun for 4 million?

Let's not confuse the parameters.

He had 10 penalty minutes last year? What's this have to do with fighting?

He's a try hard player and I pay $ to see some effort.
12 goals under coach ralph - the current coach

I want a difficult team to play against.

Kahun is not difficult to play against.

If they were winning your way, i wouldn't complain.
But they have been losing your way.
Soft erod type guys

Kahun was never getting $4M. Stop with the nonsense.

He’s running with that number because I said 40 point players are making $4 million and taking that as I said that’s what they should pay him

Tyler Johnson's camp had extended his list of teams to 7-8 for Tampa but the Bolts couldn't get a trade done. Now he's on waivers. He's got 4 x 5M aav left although his cash salary for next season is $3.75 M. Seattle-bound in a year?

Claim him and then don’t protect him if you don’t want. He has a NTC not a NMC

If he signs for 2.3-2.5 this place will explode.

man, a little harsh this afternoon...

it's hockey...nothing more, nothing less

- Michael Pachla


It's more to point out that we all get to the despising the Sabres stage at some point every season every year, some faster than others.

It's an indictment on how pathetic the team has been overall.

I think the consensus guess is that detriot claims him because of Stevie Y
