But that’s not really an answer to why they had to do it this offseason or right now.

He was Sabres property this whole year

It is an answer on why they moved him this summer, it’s just not an answer you like. Mitigate risk by letting another team negotiate and not have injury be a concern. Those are mild reasons, whether you accept them or not. Again, it is an answer, just not one you accept

350k dead under Biden. Don’t worry though, he will let us know about that plan he had soon.

Didnt you also say Covid was a hoax under the last guy.

Funny how narratives change based on the guy in office.

I don't see this going well no matter how it works out.

Agreed.

But I had to point it out.

Watched Shawshank again last night for the first time in twenty years. I want to go call Terry "obtuse", it'll be worth the time in the hole.

Because he didn't want yo be here.
After they signed him to a 1 year last offseason, then made plans for Hall as the priority and preference to resign...he was gone.

Meh, Sabres are a great farm team, I'm sure that is how many in the league view them. They need to learn how to turn their players "off" during their ELC though.

But ,but ,but...


They let superstar Samson go within the division for futures.

If guy's are sick of playing in buffalo and already have given up completely in game situations for the Sabres, what kinda full effort would we expect out of them this season? Basically being held agaisnt their will.

every bills roster projection I read this week shows Kumerow making the team, which he should, and Hodgins cut

so what position do they cut an extra body to get Hodgins on the 53?

skunk had 10 goals in the last 12 games as a sabre, so he didn't give up completely though

it will be interesting to see if the sabres move eichel, just for the sake of moving him

Sam had a very good year

I'm on an island, but I think the Sabres wait until eichel is healthy before trading him.

The return could potentially ruin tank4.

The next 2 drafts, which we would most likely be receiving 1st rounders , as well a young 1C prospect.


If the Sabres really want to get over the hump, lose this season with dignity, trade eichel for a 2022 1st +++.

Draft a new core with our top 5 pick
Draft a good prospect with the Florida pick
Draft a good prospect with the eichel pick

This season is going to be similar to the 2015 season.
Lose and have 3 1st rounders.....

I want to know how much the Packers would be willing to pay to get Rodgers's boy back. What's it worth to them to keep a rod happy

You're not alone on that island, but given that you're stranded with me you probably want to be.

I bet this is what they do. The guy can't stay healthy so they punt the decision down the road.
