They're reportedly looking for a team to take on Craig Smith's contract so they can make a move to bolster their roster.

The East is going to be a war.

Yep, would you take Smith for a Sweetener

I don't remember the last time one conference was so dominant. I think 5 EC teams would win the WC.
Boston
Carolina
NYR
Tampa
Toronto

And then someone from the West will win the Stanley Cup because whomever comes out of the East will be dead men walking.

If the Bruins can find a taker (hello Coyotes) for Smith and Reilly in a true cash for clunkers deal, they're going to be able to make a quality upgrade to their roster.

I'd take Smith (pending UFA) and Mike Reilly (one season left on his deal).

Neither have any trade clauses on their contracts.

Smith can be an alternate forward, or placed on waivers, while you can see what Reilly has, and if it's nothing, he can be placed on waivers as well.

How much is Pastrnak going to get on his next deal?!? 😲😳😲😳

I feel that if he had his eyes on someone to get at the draft he could use all that cap space to get what will close the deal on acquiring that player

12 if he goes open market. If anyone in the NHL should understand what taking less can do for an organization that knows how to build a winner, it should be Pasta. We'll see what he wants, more runs for a Cup or more $$$. I don't think he can have both.

Be surprised, he’s had chances and hasn't used his cap space at all. Pretty obvious he's been told not to do that.

Don't see that, but if he was gonna do it last and this year would have been the time for it.

When I hear Terry speak, I just can't believe that. But, then I see how cheap they've become with the broadcast, and I am left wondering. It's really (frank)ing frustrating. They don't ever hit singles. It's homeruns or strikeouts.

Broadcast crew. HR (subjectively)


The broadcast of the game really burns me up. We don't have poor owners, nor are we partners will a poor regional sports network. MSG pays a pretty penny to rights to the Sabres because they always get a good number. They used Covid as an excuse to be cheap. I don't know if that's on PSE or MSG, but we are the ones who suffer.

That said, very few teams send their crew away anymore because they broadcast 3 feet behind my seat, and I would know, as I mentioned when I met USA gold medalist AJ Griswold 🥇🤩. But, she works for MSG just like Marty and Duffer, and she travels.

Shocked to see the broadcast crew as a HR. It's cheap and terrible, save for Marty.

My take on Terry is hes all talk and no show. Or as they say in Kentucky
All sizzle and no Steak

Reminds me of my company they stop all travel for the sales force to save money then buy a company at the same time.

Razor might as well be part of the family to me. I miss Danny Gare, but i love Duffer too. I know people will disagree, and I understand, but I couldn't imagine Sabres hockey at this point without Razor. Dan has grown on me.

DUffer and Rayzor are too homer for me

Friendly out of town scoreboard again. Ottawa cant generate a shot right now in the 3rd, let alone a tying goal, and Gibson is trying his best to shutdown the Cats. 43 saves for him right now.
- lacaprup

Gibson would look scary in Buffalo’s net down the stretch. Every time I see him play (admittedly not often) he stands on his head.

Does anyone else have their on-ice guy double as a color guy?

Ray is good at one and kind of bad at the other. Dunleavy is just ok. Leaves the combo lacking in general.

Marty carries Duff.

We were also spoiled for a long time. This crew is no where close to what we've come to expect.

duffer is like a guy on a first date just agreeing with everything he says falling in love and just happy to be there

Poor Duffer. I hope he comes out breathing fire tomorrow during Sabres live, as there is no local TV broadcast.
Could be a good week to do your Hulu, ESPN+, Disney free preview.

Appears to be a Torts thing.

Apparently his family is all in attendance tonight because he is from there.

I’ll say it again. Torts is a coach/person I never want close to this team.

He is going to lose that team very quickly doing poop like this.

This is where we miss a Danny Gare, and that may go right back to cheapness. Ugh. Frustrating. I agree the commentary needs a dedicated color man or woman so Razor can focus on just his job.

I tend to watch away broadcast more now.

They are just better and honestly most of the time they cover the Sabres and talk about what they are doing in Buffalo.

Kevin Adams will be on sportsnet 590 Toronto tomorrow (tuneIn station).
