That's what makes it cheap

🤣🤣🤣 They should have traded for a contract that they actually HAD TO PAY OUT?

Man, that Adams is a dummy.

What a rebuttal.

THE MAN HAS SPENT TO THE CAP EVERY YEAR UP UNTIL THE PANDEMIC.

why not use that cap space to ice the best team possible to close the gap between us and say the leafs and bruins for this coming season?


that money could go a long way to get an impact player for a year or 2

believe me, I am with you, I am just not that upset over the move.

I am waiting for them to trade olofsson and get another paper contract in the weeks ahead
- homiedclown

homie don't think anyone is asking them to TM this thing, but they have assets to supplement this young core without hurting the future. I bag on Olofsson just to piss Boss of, but he seems on the cusp. Maybe that wrist injury was a blessing because it really helped his 5vs5 play, kid could explode.

Hey think of it this way, if he is this savvy being cheap, maybe he will be just as good when he is up against the cap....

It's just smart, period. It gives him flexibility.

Funny thing is, we don't need him to be up against the cap to supplement the young core.

Not enamored with that thought, but I like it better than Anderson.

There's some who think that they could hang on to 3 NHL goalies (Anderson, UPL and ?), but that kind of goes against what he says regarding holding back a players development.

Anderson there for when one of UPL or Holtby get injured, cause odds are they will at some point.

This is the type of name I’d expect while we wait for Levi to get to the NHL.

I mean, it makes sense.

They're not bringing in Kuemper (and why would he want to play here, anyway?), and Husso doesn't make sense (let someone else overpay for a guy that has proven nothing at 27 years old).

Campbell will have tons of suitors and choices, just like DK.

I wouldn't give Anaheim what they're going to want for Gibson (not at this point).

So, to me, Holtby makes sense.

Almost like this board could be the GM of the Sabres. 2 years 1.5 large per year for Holtby, 1 year for Andy at 1 mil

Mentioned this before
Can Anderson take a consulting job/assistant goalie coach until injuries happen.
Have to clear waivers

Does UPL still have waivers options
Edit: He has 1yr left after they sign him with waivers

I think Cong subscribes to Evolving Hockey, where they predict contracts. Wonder where Holtby slots.
