He’s not even skating and not mandated to be there

Gotta like a guy that wants to be around the rink with his current and future teammates

I would, but the Flyers are in denial about their situation so he's probably staying 1 more year until Fletcher gets fired and they accept the inevitable

Isn't he a huge Bills fan? Would definitely check the PWWTBH box.

The Kings have good prospects (starting to have doubts on Byfield and Turcotte) but strong expensive vets.

Jackets are actually similar to the Sabres but instead of Skinner they have JG, instead of Kyle they have Vora, instead of 6M Dahlin they have 9M Werenski and then they have crappy FA signings in Nyquist and Gudbranson.

Redwings are still transitioning. They signed a high quality UFA but the rest are still short term guys.

Senators are behind the Sabres on their high end young guys in terms on quantity but debatable in quality. They filled out their top 6 without having to give up any current player. The Sabres "have" their top 6.

I see your argument, but it always comes back to what's in this system and the objectives of this organization, and without getting snarky, it's to get these kids developed to be a perennial playoff team and to swap out the weaker parts for strong adds within the next 1-2 years.

Do we know this? I remain unconvinced.
If Tage can get to 85 -90 pts, then yes. If he hovers in the 60's not so much. I say that because if yes, then they have a 1st line. If no, then IMO, they need L1 talent.
He is the biggest question mark in terms of impact player on the team.
There are many, many others as well.

Or just let the kids develop into players that might very well be better (and certainly cheaper) than the scrubs that have been floating around out there. Bringing in the likes of Strome doesn't get us one iota closer to winning a championship.

31 other NHL teams: Bring in good players, figure it out later.

Buffalo fans : We have to let young guys maybe figure it out, can't sign anyone.
