That’s fine with me but Eakin will then destroy whatever line he’s moved to unless they sit him when Mittelstadt comes back

They have 3 lines doing nothing right now regardless.

At least Cozens between those two gives you two lines.

So Eichel rang the siren before the Vegas game.


Read the comments. Vegas fans thinks he coked out already

It’s kinda odd. We have thought and knew that. But Vegas fans already notice it

Adams looks like he has a plan on what kind of players he wants and that play to Granato's system.

I think we are seeing the development of Adams for the President position...give it two seasons.

The '21-'22 season is very much like an old style Expansion Team's inaugural season. Lots of relatively useless Vets, some exciting young players, lots of development required, low expectations and high hope for the future.
I'm willing to wait this and next season as the roster is overhauled and the pipeline filled.

Go Sabres!

Agreed, and it’s a good plan just expensive.

Cost:

Montour, Skunk, Risto, Ullmark, Eichel, I’ll add Dahlin in there at this point as well because there are 2 more seasons expected of this.

Dead money in Skinner, Okposo, Miller, Girgs

And 4 full seasons

It was a failed group nonetheless pricey….Adams will have a blank canvas at the end of this season:

Skinner might have the best employment situation ever, he gets over paid to just show up, he has 0 expectations- its fascinating- Ralph completely destroyed anyones plans for that guy.

We are stuck with Skinner, plus his money helps. I just hope he can atleast get to 15-20 goals a year. Gonna be interesting when the 23-24 season hits, Adams is gonna have a lot of cash to play with. And that picture is hilarious, about the only station my Grandmother got!!😆😆😆

One extra thought… this team could use a James Patrick (the player). Or a Teppo…

He's got $42M in cap space for next season. He needs more than that?

With expected callups for next season, this team is like 10 million under the cap without goalies.

I know, but he's got another big contract coming off after next year. He's got his work cut out for him.

They could have 4 or 5 ELC's next year on the big club.

They’ll be maybe 2.5mm under after they resign Pysyk.

This could be their forward group next year.

Skinner Mittelstadt Quinn/Tuch
Asplund Thompson Olofsson
Cozens Krebs Peterka
Bjork Zemgus Okposo

That would cost a total of $35M for 13 forwards.

So I saw a recent trade prop on CF for the Leafs sending us Ritchie for a 4th. Apparently they'd rather pay us a 7th to just take him. I know a few of us, myself included, wanted him here. More so seems like we dodged a bullet.

Leaves out R2. Then defense is maybe 15M.

Yes, you, 36 and I have been staunch on that for a year or more (2-1/2 for me)

Wouldn't mind spending a little money on a goalie for 3-4 years. DK could be a option
