Could be, I would add if need be. But you are helping them with cap relief which they will need.
- Buff36


Yes, but it's not like you're helping them by taking their worst player with a decent cap hit off their hands.

You're taking quite possibly their best defender.

It's going to cost much more than a 2nd and a poop defender.

Are you forgetting that Theodore is also on an excellent contract?

rememberwhen some of us were called idiots for saying Bjork was a bad return for a certain player that was traded.

I do.

- ImThatGuy


Man, if only he was the only piece coming back..

Dude was literally a replacement for Lazar in that deal. And from what I can tell, they both (Lazar and Bjork) have served no purposed (except Bjork has helped get us to the floor). It's almost like this post is disingenuous.

O and the certain player you are talking about has 4 goals (2 EN) and 9 points in 15 games.. Seems after his hot start in Boston, he's right back to being the guy he was last in New Jersey, then Arizona, then Buffalo. Taylor Hall's best days are behind him it appears. We'll see if Kisakov becomes anything.

That's fine and I understand about Theodore, but he also has no clauses and it's a area they could deal from. If it cost more so be it, he is worth it.

actually what we need is three more AHL goalies to make sure if any of our current studs go down, we have replacements in kind to ensure we need to score 8 goals a game to ever win.
- TheSabresTaco



The amazing thing is, even without so-called "elite talent" on this team, they are usually scoring enough to win.

You take things outta context


I had no idea who Smelk was I just brought up his name cause its a funny name

You get to serious.

But why would they not want to win this year? we could be a couple points into a p-off spot. We aren't getting Wright. Lottery is fixed and our ball won't be called. Don't matter if were last

There's a lot more talent than there used to be. Problem is they're still developing and need a few more dynamic play makers and less.. umm... Drake n Vinny's.
