thanks. you guys (i say generally), crack me up with the doom and gloom about the team. i know ownership is bad and the team sucks now but, its not even the team in hockey let a lone the division.

clear to me the losing has gotten to a lot of people and its result in squabbling over 3rd/4th line players/ depth players. thats my psycho-analysis of the the current situation anyway.

Unless he will take a league minimum contract, looks like a no.

Thank you.

I had thought that I heard that the Sabres were interested?
They still have room after Montour and Eakin right?

CHI/COL deal is Saad and Dennis Gilbert for Zadorov and Anton Lindholm. CHI retains $1M on Saad.

Let’s not shame Sabres fans for being mad all the time when their team is almost certainly going to tie the record for longest playoff drought in NHL history.

I'm a fairly optimistic fan. I go to about 28-30 games a year. Love the Sabres. We all do around here.

For me, there's not alot to do with the family, in the winter in buffalo. Kids hockey, football , and the Sabres.
The wife likes going , we meet up with friends and eat ect. I'm vested. Im not giving up my season tickets anytime soon.

If Eichel was traded, I would not be happy as a season ticket holder. We paid for the tank. We paid for eichel basically. He's the real deal game in and game out.

Best buffalo athlete since dom and the 90's Bill's. Talent and showmanship (best) part. Worth admission for me.

But I was told the Sabres knew Montour wouldn't be getting a deal that paid him more than his qualifying offer?

Seems like reasonable resourse management?

Probably very tradeable at the deadline.
Give that 3.85 + to dahlin after next year

sabres fans are definitely some of the most passionate.
you guys will appreciate it all the more when the team is competing in the playoffs regularly.
yeah Eichel hes one of those magical players. what you said reminds me of going to wings games and seeing Datsyuk. worth the price just to see those types of guys play

So the Sabres are at 59.9 million according to cap friendly.

Sam
Ullmark
Olofsson

With a soft self cap of 70 mill.

They definitely are going to move a contact to get under that. No way can we sign all 3 under 10 mill
