That's kind of where I'm at.

The signings they're doing now are at least slightly capable hockey players...

When you were leading off with Chris Stewart as one of your top wingers that's just nuke it territory.

It appears to me that they're signing some unwanted guys that based on their analytics could at least be serviceable but certainly not pushing for the playoffs.

Sign Stepan, demote Eakin into a volcano and you might have a team that isn't exactly embarrassing.

eichel to bruins for carlo, debrusk, lauko, lysell and beecher

if they need to throw moore in for the cap, make them add a 2nd

- homiedclown


My buddy in Boston’s original offer:

Debrusk, Moore, Wagner and two firsts and some salary retained on Eichel

Im sorry, but the majority of their signings are league minimum.

These are guys that really had no other offers. its not some magical formula that the Sabres are using that other teams don't have.

- ImThatGuy



Certainly possible, and more than likely probable.

But those guys from the previous tank, eeessshhhhhh.....

I kind of do put them in a different category.

Perhaps in this case looking back isn't nostalgic rather horrific.

No firsts. I want their prospect cupboard to be bare ass.

Bear ass.

How do you have this kind of optimism without Kaltata protecting the kids?
- TheSabresTaco

I would prefer not to start some long debate but I think one removal from the roster will pay huge dividends

I think were gonna get prime Dahlin/Jokiharju

I think Mittestadt/Cozens both take a step

I think Ruotsolainen is possibly pretty good

I think if they can add a good roster piece with the Eichel trade we won't be a last place team

Ugh even if the Sabres get every top prospect and good player it will seem like Eichel got his way if he ended up in Boston
- Stripes77

young middle 6 winger

young second pair rd

3 good prospects


by the time we get good, bergeron, marchand, hall, and smith are going to be dinosaurs anyhow

I buy all that. Hagg and Irwin might be a wash, but with the growth of the Scandi Duo, Pysyk/Butcher will likely outperform Montour/R**** and I don't know what to expect from whoever is paired with Miller.

Honestly I just expect 8th overall. I hope Mitts and Cozens don't get worn down. All the more reason to sign Kaltata.
