To be fair: message boards are really only for 3 things:1) female doging 2) celebrating teams success 3) honing in on an a teams future success. 2 hasn’t happened, 3 is getting stale. I love the Sabres, idk why. I had the luxury of choosing any team under the sun (not from or anywhere close to Buffalo, have 0 ties) but I chose them anyways. I’ll ride through the thick of it. Just my .02. If people want to female dog about it, whatever there’s the door. If people are too optimistic, whatever there’s the door. I will never have another team I cheer for over Buffalo, much like most of you. But it is getting hard to feel even remotely optimistic about the train wreck we’ve watched the last 9.

All fair
And it’s not like I’m not also frustrated
Just don’t think losing my mind over losing a 3rd liner or keeping a 4th liner is gonna accomplish anything whatsoever

Venting frustration... sure, go for it
But the CONSTANT all day long b!tching has gone WAY OVERBOARD imo

I’m gonna go enjoy the day
I’ll leave u guys to it

I’m a college football nut, and this is actually one of the things that th best of the best actually look for: fitness fanatic, and their sport isn’t their life. Having interests outside of what they do that still correlate indirectly (other sports) to success at a current sport is something Dabo, Saban, Meyer, and all the other big boys look for

I read an article on contract expectations for Top UFA ... had Hall at $8.5sh
$6.75 seems low since he signed for $6m in 2013.

If they landed him, then they will almost certainly need to trade Olofsson ... Hall and Skinner at $17.5 for 2 lefties is high...adding $4.0sh would be crazy.

- IonSabres



I think covid pricing for top free agents is a complete intangible.

If I'm an owner, I would like to know when my gate revenue is going to be available before I pay big $.

Skinner to the kraken
Olofsson is going to get around 3 million in my opinion.
Maybe they move him. Hope not.

It could be a smart move based on the eichel factor linemate thing..

Olloffson seems lean to me though. I would expect him to be around for a while?

Thats not true hall would make perfect sense if he's trying get a pay day jack can help him with that and he could help us for 1 year

If the big long term contracts are not available, 1 year would be a good alternative.

Do you think that yelling at people in ALL CAPS will have the desired effect of calming them down?

Same age group right - college freshman/ nhl draft pick

The scouts have to be sitting around thinking Quinn is no where near his hockey ceiling
