If I'm Calgary, I'd retain half and deal Huberdeau at the deadline. A 100+ point winger with a $2.95 cap hit should net an absolute haul.

I get that the Flames' feelings are hurt but selling high is the right move long-term imo

Might as well sell the farm then too.


They have a number of players that could get them some nice returns

The problem with that is that they would probably want a young roster player back in return. I would think that it would be difficult for them to get a Krebs / Tuch combination back.

I presume you posted this for the Sabres at 0%.
Based on that; did you expect something different?

I think olo contract is perfect.

He really hasnt put everything together for a full season.

Trade him if you need the cap room to sign the guy that's making him too expensive to keep.

This budget team is only temporary IMO.

I also think were going to be a team this city backs next season. Likeable guy's that win.

- Boss34


Agreed.
They may end up with 3 or 4 Josh Allen's on the Likeability Chart.

I've been down to Bradenton/ clear water / tampa area. Its absolutely beautiful, especially during the cold winter months in buffalo. March is especially nice to visit.

This summer has been spectacular in buffalo ☝️

Ya, was up for 10 days 2 week ago. Was very nice, nights were cool, sleep with the windows open was great.

Our July - Sept is the season we tend to stay inside more as the heat and humidity combo can be oppressive, no doubt...but, I'd rather go in the pool in mid-Aug with a drink than be sitting inside in February in a sweater....mind you, I did it for 59 years up north...it just got old.

And goingvyo the beach for a couple hours is awesome as well...rivals sitting outside in January in a shirt and shorts watching the Sabres play.

Two years left at 5M Cap with 3.5M in actual money per (7M actual total) for a guy who's going to hover around .5 ppg and really is just kind of a meh not gonna kill you guy. Seems like Buf would be doing them a solid taking him from them. Probably pass.

Well when your closing in on Queen Elizabeth it must be tough.

Some of us like to ski in the winter. Play hockey. Skate on the pond.

Winter doesn't bother the strong. Only the weak minded.

I would take that as they view him the same way as a dump. I'd rather just keep Laaks and see if he turns it on. Still pretty young.
