Can confirm @MatiszJohn's report that the Sabres have signed Tobias Rieder to a one-year contract with a $700,000 AAV.

Rieder was teammates with Ralph Krueger's son, Justin, for Germany at previous world championships.

You can't have too many 4th line players sprinkled throughout the top 3 lines.

If they sign someone they are harshly criticized. If they don't they are harshly criticized. You guys need to find a new hobby that doesn't make you female dog all the time.

Amazing that we signed someone for 700k and that might be an overpayment

Or, hear me out, make serious roster adjustments. If they would sign anyone that would move the needle, you'll hear an attaboy from me. In fact, go back 8 pages for the VO deal, and I said good deal. If you want me to get on my knees for a Tobias Reider signing who has 21 points over the last two years (122 games) and doesn't exactly have positive possession metrics (his team bleeds shots when he's on the ice), it's just not going to happen.

Are there any other free agents that played on Krueger's son's team? That might be our only leverage

I await the "Trash Can can play center so we're going to try him there" comment, and I'm here for it.

Seriously at this point I could not care less if they moved and I LOVE and I mean LOVE sabres hockey. I watch every miserable second of every miserable game.

This franchise is a joke.

Good for him. When he was 22/23 he did show promise.. That was 4/5 years ago and he has slid hard. It's a whatever signing for our 14th forward, I don't actually care they signed him. But you shouldn't be attempting to sign anyone of his caliber in the opening 3.5 hours of FA because there is an infinite amount of those guys out there.

I know they were not going to be in on Hall but JFC, Tobias Reider? Don't we have a franking roster full of 3rd and 4th liners and we dont qualify Kahun??

Rumor is Kahun wanted $2.5 per, we offered $2 per, for 2 years. So yea. Trying to wait to see how things turn out, but this all looks bad on Buffalo. Only trade in the last month is to move up 4 spots in the second round of the draft. Weak sauce for sure.

I don't get the sword swallowing today. Sure, I would have risked Kahun beating them in arbitration (although it sounds like he would have taken 2.5 per year). I also didn't like the Gus contract. But today isn't the day to female dog about lack of activity. Today can be summarized by some people getting crazy contracts and then a bunch of other role players. There is a lot to be played out.
