EXACTLY. They want to keep and overpay top-end crap that had led the team into the gutter more than Gus and it is sacrilege to say anything against the guy. Oh boy, I hope Sam gets his7 mil contract now and see what is written.

For calgary.

Bet sam signs a really low cost, short term deal with buffalo. Which is proof of his true value to kagm.

The experts around here pile on girgs more, because sam is only making x more than girgs.

Larsson wanted to experience the dry heat in Arizona over the experience in Buffalo even for more money no doubt. He no doubt told his agent to get him out of here no matter what.

I know everyone hates botts, but I wish I knew his plan for this off season.

I don’t expect top level signings, but 2.2 for Latvian Larry and then 1.4 for OG Larry w/AZ? This isn’t EA21 on easy mode. Wtf

Weren't you advocating for retaining him with a 3 x $3m like two weeks ago?

Oh well, you are correct here with the bad Girgs contract.


Boss, I can't wait to hear the justification for paying Larry's brother more than Lockport Larry

- IonSabres



Buffatax

It's real. Larrson wasnt happy here. Why pay him any amount of money to stay?

Let me guess, kagm is now 1/6 ?
Should have paid larry 1.4, which is probably 2 million buffalo $

Larsson was our 2nd most impactful forward last year if you look at the fancy stats.

Now he gets to continue shutting down McDavid except more then twice a year

Probably the feelings of most Sabres fans about the franchise anymore.
But Tim knows more than everyone.

I would live to be a fly on the wall when Kevyn is explaining to rational to Tim on why he paid $800k more for #2Larry than #1Larry and then added another year at $2.2m on top of it
And
Tries to rationalize the above in the context of the Kahun fiasco so far.

Welp, I mean they are entertaining that's for sure.

Troy Stecher on the call he had with Benning this morning:

“We were talking about a short term deal when he suddenly stopped talking. Then John Weisbrod picked up the phone and told me Jim had fallen asleep. That’s where things fell apart.”

Larson’s brother put on Twitter that the Sabres didn’t wanna sign him and told him to move on.

They actually chose the worse Larry at the position we weren’t desperate for and paid him 800k extra.

The new GM is bad

“As his brother I can tell He loves buffalo but the Told him the moved on from him“

https://twitter.com/emrik.../1315016607035424773?s=21

So they didn’t want Larsson but wanted to give Girgensons $800K more.

So $6.6m for girgs, 2.8m for Larry. Something doesn’t exactly add up?
