Throw Adin Hill and Jake Allen in there.

Not saying they're great options, but they're options.
- Hank Balling

Could see Hill

I love how people assume

krebs
cozens
casey
quinn
peterka
and whoever we pick tonight are going to get paid

none have done anything more then Vinny Hinostroza over the last 2 years in the nhl at this point


of course adams will overpay them all because they like to be here and we drafted them

This is exciting, gonna be a fun night.
- Buff36

Petr Mrazek and a 7th to the sabres for future consideration

Could see Hill
- Buff36

I'd feel considerably better about the season if they brought Hill aboard. And that's a pretty reasonable and low bar for the Sabres to clear. It at least demonstrates a good-faith effort to improve in net.

depends what he does in Ottawa this year. Does he only score 28 goals away from Kane??
- turbo044

Very good point

For all we know he signs here. Until that does or doesn't happen, I don't get the constant dogging. The season doesn't start for several months.
- Slump Buster

thanks momma fitz

They’ll overpay for Kane next year during UFA. I can almost feel it.
- Stripes77

question, if the team finishes bottom 10 again, how is it any different than this year?

Or would next year then not become the time to acquire big name players, because we just arnt there yet?

Reimer's the guy you want from there. Hill is.... well, a goalie by the broadest definition.

The Sharks played way better in front of him than reimer

You're also missing Dahlin, Power, Tage

You're really taking this too hard Homie

God no - that happens and I'm "homie-like" pissed

- Stripes77

get him now for pick 28


why wait and use that pick on the next danny paille

worst case, he won't sign an extension and we can move him at deadline for a late first in a better draft class

The question was framed around goalies without M-NTCs, so if Hill is the best they can do, so be it. I'll takes what I can gets

Ahh fair enough. In that case, I'd go with Jake Allen. But idk if they'll move him.

- Stripes77

dahlin already makes decent money on the cap

power could be the next erik johnson or really good, an issue 2 years from now

tage is the wild card


doesn't change we have 40 mil in cap space today

and 10 mil coming off the books in 12 months in okposo , girgens, and anderson


if there was ever a time to jump start a rebuild, it's now with this 40/50 mil cap space

Or would next year then not become the time to acquire big name players, because we just arnt there yet?
- ImThatGuy

Depends on a lot of variables

Who is the goalie playing these games? How is this team losing? Do they look lost? Did everyone revert back to Ralph days?

If you tell me they are drafting in the top 10 again next year because Anderson had to play 50 games, UPL's body fell apart again, and they had to play Aaron Dell again then I would assume they lost every game 6-4.

get him now for pick 28


why wait and use that pick on the next danny paille

- homiedclown

I say no to Patrick Kane. We have way more needs that bringing him in

Use 28 and get Gibson That is way more of an upgrade

Ahh fair enough. In that case, I'd go with Jake Allen. But idk if they'll move him.
- Michael Ghofrani

I didn't think so either but a couple Habs fans dropped by to say they'd trade him (for whatever that's worth).

so we can get Kane for what 28th and 2nd rounder?
- hehateme

Why? Just to shut up those south Buffalo brates! Who are use to getting their way. In the BISHOP TIMIN ST JUDE hockey program!!! You know who you are !! And your program sucked!! And you know who I’m talking about

God no - that happens and I'm "homie-like" pissed
- turbo044

whats after matt murray rejects you


it's that or a dell extension

get him now for pick 28


why wait and use that pick on the next danny paille

- homiedclown

I think based on rep he would cost so much more, which is the problem. I have no problem with them paying market value for him, but thats not what's going to happen.

I say no to Patrick Kane. We have way more needs that bringing him in

- Sabretooth9

they want to shed salary

gibson and henrique for pick 41


fleece them

I didn't think so either but a couple Habs fans dropped by to say they'd trade him (for whatever that's worth).
- Hank Balling

Sabres should be all over that. He faced insane shot quality against and put up decent numbers relative to that.

Adding another high price winger when not knowing what your center position looks like isn't a good idea.

If DeBrincat was a center, the I would assume Adams would be all over it, who knows if he wasn't anyway?

If you think the only thing Adams was working on was Matt Murray then that's on you.
