Be prepared for an overpayment on Toffoli, a smaller deal for Haula and then it will depend on trade and other offers Kahun gets

I'll take Haula.

if there was ever a time, a small market team with a rich owner could shrink the gap from other teams by spending money, it's this off season


expect next to nothing today

I know you've been cloud over the Sabres for the past 3/4 days, and not unrightfully so, but what would be a successful day to you.. Mix in cheap signings, big signings, whatever. Just kinda curious, because we do have to sign some players to even fill out our roster.

I hate the smell of gear lube. And there is nothing worse than burnt gear lube. That stink never comes out of clothes. Lol

They always wanted Toffoli over Hall, I said Toffoli a month ago but they won't pay him 7 mill a year. I was told the " team cap" is because they want to budget for Dahlin and still be active now and during the year with some cushion if needed. But, we all know....................................... it's the Sabres.

A few years ago I had a strong inclination that Toffoli would be a Sabre when Garth was pushing him. I kind of had a vision. I think I win

I could live with LA also, but who else beside Turcotte
- IonSabres


If you're getting Turcotte and Byfield, that's prolly as good as you're gonna get for Eichel TBH. maybe a couple ancillary pieces. If it's just Turcotte, idk what else they have (I know they are loaded with prospects, just don't know who they are).

I expect nothing more then 2 or 3 fringe nhl players


they have the bodies once they sign the ufa's


your adding casey, cozens, tage and perhaps jack jr to replace the vesy, larsson, kahun and simmonds


what I consider a good day

moving on from hutton and upgrading the position

a middle 6 winger

a third line center



if we bought out hutton, grabbed a goalie, fast and soderberg it would be a great day

A trade for a goalie or do they settle for a FA?
- GilPerreault11


I hear FA is the route with Anderson, Talbot and more in the mix. No takers on Hutton at the moment however which he needs to be moved

So Haula, Toffoli, and bye bye Hutton would be a win, or some others (like Soderberg and Fast) that would be good. Even if we are going cheap (which we are) I don't think those guys are out of the running honestly. Most of the middle guys will take shorter deals so they can possibly get bigger ones when the cap rises, hopefully.

Well him and Skinner can't play on the same line, that's for sure. But nothing wrong with actually adding a scorer to the lineup.

Good God.

Anderson is not an upgrade over Hutton.

David Pagnotta on TSN1290 says BUF wants to go after Tyler Toffoli, Mike Hoffman, or both. Been talking to Olofsson's agent for a while. Almost done. Waiting until after free agency to deal with Sam Reinhart. BUF not spending to the cap

Not spending to the cap but he says, maybe to BOTH Hoffman and Toffoli and sign Reinhart. Yea, no.
