Pegulaville is now running the Dems Definition Committee... they are moving the goalpost frequently.

Sabres showing any interest in signing PK Subban?
- sabresfan69


Curious why he hasn't signed yet. He's still a capable player. Thinking he's contemplating retirement to head to the booth.

Kulich had a nice game the other day.
How fun would it be to see him make good on his goal to make the NHL this season..."I want to play in the NHL, I have no ther plans"

I'm pulling hard for this kid.

but but but everyone has a job!

They also don't tell you unemployment is going up too, they like smoke and mirrors

Big companies are starting to lay of people by the 1000s

If playoffs is indeed the goal, then the Sabres better hope more than just Rasmus and Tage rise above the middle of the road.
- PrinceChill

Or they might need to do what the other 31 teams in the NHL do, trade and sign for better players....

Cozens is a great candidate to give a long-term deal if you believe he's the next Couturier. The Sabres may have a chance to buy the kind of value contract they never seem to get due to their constant bridge deals. The Flyers got some great, cheap years from Couts
- Hank Balling

This is the move that could be another Okposo. He hasn't done anything to earn an 8 year contract.

Yeah there's no chance he gets an 8 year contract. If he explodes this year, probably gets a bridge to a year before RFA.

He brings several elements the rest of them don't. Change of pace guy who positively impacts the team on the ice. If you're going to be a black hole on offense, make sure it's for both teams and apply appropriately.

I would take Him and 2 2nds.

Hes still a very useful player.

- ImThatGuy


He is a good passer too, something the Sabres could use to set up Olofsson and or Quinn

Yeah you only do it if you believe the Couturier comps that are floating out there. I'm not sold on Cozens to the level that some are, I'm just saying the Sabres need to get ahead of the pay days at some point.

The team is fond of the bridge deals that usually end up in paying full market value on the next deal, or they sell players before they get too expensive. They're not good at identifying long-term value contracts
