Are they hoisting a Mr Softie truck to the rafters along side his Jersey?

Why does a Lightning fan care what the Sabres do...?

I didn't like the list, but tried to find someone that could help efficiently, economically, and sorta quasi kinda effectively. He's certainly not someone to get excited over.

As for the RFA list...its hard to picture the Stars letting Otter go.

Yeah can't see that either, just posting names. Vanecek is someone I would look at. Both Washington goalies are RFA'S

It's going to be a challenge bringing in a goalie that gets Sabre fans really excited.

My first reaction to Miller's # retired is I'm not sure he deserves it. I think Mogilny does before him. I mean he was great, but he never could close out the biggest games.

To play devils advocate here

Mogilny only played 6 years in Buffalo and while he was great, he only played in more than 67 games per season once in Buffalo.

Mogilny had LaFontaine.

Miller was a work horse in Buffalo during a time where Lindy left him high and dry based on the system he had (by design because Miller could handle it)

Longevity and being the all time franchise leader in wins and saves gets him in here.

I'm selling the house and finding an apartment or house in downtown Nashville.
I'll eventually stop at that place.

Who's your target?
- IonSabres


I like kuemper, not so sure on Anderson ( some soft goals) and bad stretches.

Husso is intriguing, as is carter hart for the right price.

I like valarov as well, as a stop gap . On the ice. Off ice doesn't fit the bill.

Talbot also would be a good move. Especially if we could get the cap dump bonus of foligno/ dumba.

You know who I like, john gibson. I mean, he's no vaslevsky 🤔

I just want an actual real upgrade. No mike Smith

*Maf would also be a lot of fun IMO.
especially without paying okposo and a 7th in return

Why Weber is the Perfect Pegula's contract 7.8m cap hit but 3m actual salary this year, think it goes down to 1m the last 2yrs.
