Id be surprised if we didn't see at least one. It actually makes it easier for them to evaluate the younger talent properly by giving the consistent roles, which they could do if they cleared up the log jam up front a bit.

At minimum I think they'll discuss extensions with cozens/thompson to see where they are at.

It’s what good teams do.

Bowen Byram will extend this offseason I bet. And in 3 years we will talk about how team friendly his deal is

Do discussions matter if they don't get it done until it has to be done?

But it's discussions, they take 12 months, and as usual for the Sabres they will loose their window.

Cong did you see where McKenzie had Korchinski ranked. Should bring back that ? you asked the other day.

How about those Yankees. Anyone catch that stat on Judge last night. Since 17-18 he has had 455 pitches called strikes against him that weren't in the zone. Said he already had 53 this year and there's still what 90gms or so left.

Week 6 since of last year? Wrong year grandpa I said week 6 vs the Seahawks he learned how to beat zone defense and became a complete QB. He struggled with that for the longest time. So you are wrong

And yeah I said the rest. Everything I said was correct.

Olofsson is not a great skater and a one trick pony on the PP. 1000% correct

Vaselesky is good but had an all star team in front of him for years. How is that wrong? The roster is still loaded. Stamkos. Point. Kucherov hedman cirelli killorn sergechev palat. Not to mention the good players that have left that team due to cap issues


Kane doesn’t fit the timeline

Way to be wrong about literally everything I’ve said. Sick burn Bro 😎

I would not waste assets other than money on Kane, but I don't see with the style he plays that he couldn't play another 4yrs, think he would be a good fit for a team hitting it's playoff window.

Couple of other notes to keep an eye on: sounds like things are intensifying on the Kevin Fiala front, and we could get clarity on BOS coaching situation today.

Bummer for Duclair.

As @PierreVLeBrun just reported, Anthony Duclair suffered an Achilles tendon injury during offseason training. Saw doctors this week. Timeline uncertain right now, but, sadly, appears to be a lengthy recovery. Very sorry to hear.

Sabres are one of many.

Only thing I can add right now, as we had reported for months on @ColdStovePod, the Sabres were confirmed as one of many teams in the Fiala mix

Friedman also reported Fiala is heating up.
ALso, has NRD proven to not be trusted?

I'm also confused where the hate is coming from regarding NRD.

Fialas Contract prediction is 8 years at 9 Million.

Hard pass.

I don't think he gets it.

Also I'd rather trade for Cat than Fiala.
