Every player gets a huge raise for this year
- c1067
it would have been funny if they gave Craig 10 mil.

Craig, congrats on the year, we appreciate the help with the tank. Heres ten mil, we have to give it to someone, so what the hell.

I’m happy what we have been doing today. It’s what I called for years. Build a complete team and stop paying FAs. Look at this beautiful future.

UPL and Levi in net. One maybe both will hit.

Dahlin, Samuelson, Power, Johnson, Joker and Laaksonen on D. That’s a really really good D

A top 6 out of Cozens, Quinn, Rosen, the two Russians, Paterka Mitts, then your bottom 6 of whoever doesn’t make the top plus Oloffson , Skinner, Thompson, Aspland.

The Jack return! At least a 2022 1st rd pick and a Krebs/Rossi type player. Doubt it’s much else but that prospect is another top 6 player.

Then three 2022 1st rd picks, one of them top 5, another top 6 player. The other two 1sts for bottom 6 roles

An amazing cap situation

Has some serious 2005-2006 Sabres feels. Just need to wait two more seasons and stay the course

"We Want Playres who want to be here"
- ImThatGuy



I have no problem with that. They had 11 picks in this draft and have plenty of kids here and coming. They'll find a nice new core.

A-Aron Dell.

Sweet baby Jesus.

Fun fact: the year Craig Anderson was born, Hall and Oates had a number one hit with "Maneater". It's fate!

- Powerslave



Anderson was born in 1981

Maneater was released in 1982………

The best acquisition is Butcher.
- Powerslave


Would you say butchers better than will borgen?

Obviously the salary is relevant.

With the list of players below they've made clear that they don't want to block from playing time:

Cozens, Mittelstadt, Asplund, Bjork, Thompson, Ruotsalainen

Along with Skinner, Okposo, and Olofsson, that doesn't leave much in the way of open forward positions.

Aside from bringing back a temporary Center in an Eichel trade like Henrique or Strome, I think we may need to begin looking at players on LTIR that teams want off their cap in exchange for a pick or prospect for taking that contract on.

With dell and Anderson ther sabres have out done Arizona to stay in the basement!! Adams is going for the nhl record for losses in one season capitals have that at 7 wins
Sabres new record perfect season
0-82-0 !!!! And then Arizona beats them in the lottery draft!! To top it off!! Cozins and durlin will be the next rhino and risto!!! This to much!!! I have been a sabres fan for 52 years and this team is headed to worse the the70 sabres!! Put the sabres in the ahl and bring up the Amerks!!!

If it gets them a top 3 pick, then yes it’s worth 10 million

And this one will become hateable because of all the losing.

its already gotten to Dahlin. He made many comments about it last year.

The fansbase has pretty much turned on him already.

- ImThatGuy


Dahlin was very disappointing.

I had my boss homer goggles on and expected a 3rd year jump with his offseason commitment.

He smelled.

Me too. Looks like a plan taking shape to build for future success. Sucks to be here after the past dozen years but nothing with the other jokers at the helm and on the ice have worked. It appears that Terry and Kim are letting Kevyn run the show and not interfering, finally….trust means a lot
