He's gonna have options, and not just in FA, see how far Adams is willing to go.
- Buff36


I believe his decisions here will easily define the 22/23 season.

UPL/Anderson/Tokarsky = bed man or best

UPL/ Keumpher type = let’s play some hockey and let the chips fall where they may.

my sales are down about 25 percent, but I had to adjust my prices to be more profitable taking the less is more approach and increase my portion of flipping plants (plants are pre ordered and orders are shipped same day plants arrive)

by doubling up my plant orders each month, my guess is total profit is only down about 10 percent

I have also seen a lot of businesses similar to mine, just shrink their inventory and are going down the slow death approach

Lean manufacturing and shipping. A lot of Companies have gone to it. Saves money on inventory costs and receiving costs. Only thing bad is if you get a big order you probably don't have the inventory to make or ship it. And that's were you loose money.

Would have been decent having him with Portillo or Levi down there, that kinda sucks.

Owen Power won't play in the IIHF World Championship. Described it as a "mutual" decision between him and Hockey Canada.

Me too but if it’s…

UPL/Anderson
Tokarsky.

Or

UPL/Tokarsky
Suban.

It’s a fail…. Anderson can’t hold up for that many games. Heck, it doesn’t look like UPL can hold up for that many games either.

Tokarsky is absolutely fine as a split / injury call up/ AHL / NHL #3 … anything more is doing the team a disservice.

Samuelsson said he still has a foot/ankle problem, so he'll be down in Rochester tomorrow morning, but he doesn't know if he'll be ready to play on Wednesday.

Tokarski was slightly better than Anderson this season. Ideal #3, if you can get him back.

My gut says Anderson retires.

I think it plays out like:

XXX (trade or FA)
UPL

Tokarski (assuming he wants to come back)
Subban

He was on a two-way deal, 200k in the minors. Imagine he's looking for a one-way. Possibly a better shot at a #2 job?

Subban was on a one-way. How much are they willing to spend on AHL goalies? Can't imagine it's 2 one-way deals.

When I graduated I had a choice move back to WNY and take a job for half what I was offered in Indiana or move away from all my family and try it on my own. I like to think I made the right choice.
- IndianaSabresFan

I moved 5 hours away 2 years ago and I've honestly never had more stuff, been in less debt and been able to not worry about money as much as I do now. Yeah I miss my friends, but I also payed off 6 credit cards and don't think twice about buying the 10 dollar bacon or the organic fruit, or getting my oil changed, or, etc...

Yet some guy up in Canada who is super worried about owning a house refuses to just pay for an apartment so his family can have privacy and blames everyone else for why he is taking advantage of his in-laws.

Cap friendly says toker is at $750 / $200. Suban is at $850 minors. UPL $750 / $70.

If I am understanding this, one way deal is one celery for ahl or nhl. 2 way is the split celery.

- Do you actually see tokarsky as a #2? Or any team seeing him as a #2?

- UPL is an RFA and everyone else is a UFA

- Guessing Adam’s like Suban. I can’t see him as a #2 at this point.

- I can see Toker and Suban as the 3 and 4 AHL goalies next year. Just no idea what the contracts look like.

- I can also see Houser brought back for cincy.

That puts UPL with the big club. What does his deal look like?

And who does Adam’s target for 1a. To UPLs 1b….

UPL has one more year left on his deal. He's the only goaltender under contract.

Looked at it wrong. I thought someone said he was the only goalie under contract. I guess he isn't.
