Only in Buffalo would fans be whining about mixing up the "talent" on a crap team.

Larsson is better than Eakin.

And we paid more for Eakin.

Don't mind this signing.

Still need a goalie and top 6 RW, though.

This is just salt in the wound at this point:

It's a three-year, $6M contract for Fast in CAR.

Eakin is a negative on ice outcome player in almost every game state. He is not good.

Adams should be selling teams on his vision and the opportunity to play with Eichel and Dahlin. Not sure why all these 4th line guys. Maybe they pull a shocker and get Hall.

Better is subjective. Eakin has had a 20 goal and 40 pt season and Larsson hasn't sniffed that and plays with some personality.

A proven 40 point player for 2.2 million.

That money could have gone to larrson.
Am I doing this right?


Another solid signing. 7/7 kagm

- Boss34


Very inconsistent over the last 5sh years, not sure if he's a 25 or 35 pt guy...much better value than the guy who skates on his knees.

Hopefully, Cozens can handle the 3C and it pushes him down to 4th line duties.

$2.2 + $2.25 + $6.0 = $10.45m 4th line...seems very high to me
should have been
$1.4 + $0.8 + $6.0 = $8.2m

Damn! That's $2.25 they spent unnecessarily... nearly pays for Kahun.

I'm ok with it .. Adams 2 for 6...still got some splaining to do.

Well, I will say that maybe, just maybe they will become the reincarnation of The Hardest Working Team

The hate for Larsson on these boards 2 years ago was downright comical.

Now people are crying that he's moved on...

but would have b!tched if we'd re-signed him.

This is quite possibly the worst offseason the Sabres have had in the last 8 years

Looks like it can get worse

Exactly

This team sucks and guess who plays the games that the team wins or loses? The players and if the team sucks, the players aren't good enough and losing 3rd and 4th liners shouldn't be this painful.

Sam Reinhart, Victor Olofsson and Linus Ullmark have filed for arbitration. Brandon Montour did not.

"Skates on his knees" πŸ˜€

I think we all realize this is going to be another likely borderline season. Would be nice is they worked hard and/or were exciting.


I'm still 6/6
1.4 tage
2.2 cody
2.2 gurgs
Bye bye kahun
Stahl trade
Whatever the other move was

The lane is simple:

Larsson @ $1.4M >>>>> Girgensons @ $2.2M or Eakin @ $2.25M

Also, Fast @ $2M per for 3 years is greater than Girgensons and Eakin.

If you want to tell me that none of the actual good players wanted to come to Buffalo, that's zero excuse for overpaying mediocre or bad players.

6 foot tall
500 plus nhl games
2.2 million a year
Only his 3rd team

I dont like kahun, samson light.

Another nhl veteran player that had 22 goals a year ago.
Not 25 career goals. Not 3.5 million

Big difference -

- Boss34


15 pts in 49 games last season
Vs
31 pts in 56 games last season.

But go on.

Is this the same Jesper Fast that has a career high of 13 goals? Or 33 points? HE got $2 million? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Larsson is a bum who got used to losing and he was here for 7 years too long.

And I'm not sticking up for the Girgensons signing.

Its warm in January in buffalo. It's a winning franchise.

Only the actual good players don't want to play in buffalo?

The mediocre players love it here.

Why would any player want to play here? Proximity to family. Older players with kids and great schooling?
