Thoughts on Jost next year…..I thought he played a great game last night. He is a grinder. I could see him, Mitts and Greenway together. Dump 21, 28 and 71…..

You're such a tough guy.

If your gonna troll me, expect retribution.

Yeah they need to get him signed, hopefully by next Monday, let him decompress for a week then get him to sign the dotted line.
- Stripes77


Monday would be great. Get him signed and throw him in a few games with the big club and let him finish out with Amerks.

This team is really so close. if they can get a true NHL goalie for 1-2 years, and somehow get Johnson signed, that addresses 1 huge hole and could address 2 if Johnson pans out to be a good top 4 D man.

Then if they can snag Carter Hart for 1 year or a real NHL goalie we can easily make the playoffs next year. hart Makes so much sense.

I am really excited for this team's future.

Mitts has really shown some gumption away from Olof too.

I would absolutely sign Jost, one of my fav players on this team.. he works his A$$ off and can score you a few.

2.25m QO and 1 year from UFA is an issue. Think it's likely that they don't qualify and try to get him at a lower $. Interesting decision, imagine they'd like him back.

Might not matter, but that in between route doesn't let him play in the AHL playoffs.

Maybe Aaron can comment but I'm pretty sure those fans don't like him very much. I'd have to go back to the blog where he was traded. It seems like he had a pretty strong defensive career in Toronto.
- TheSabresTaco


I just saw this. He was adequate. He's quick, he's got some skills and a slight scoring touch. He has a big body he doesn't use. Good PKer. As a leaf fan I was done with him for two reasons:

1. He seemed to disappear altogether in the playoffs
2. He was making over 2 million as a 3rd line winger and as sad as it is, just too costly in this cap world for the leafs.

I guess I have a third reason, we have seen enough of what him with the leafs could do in the playoffs (not enough) so time for a new look. Do I think he could benefit the Sabres? Yes most likely.

I respect your opinion

2 different players enter the league in 2016-2017

Chryrun
Gp 379
Goals 62
Assists 112
Points 174

Provorov
Gp 516
Goals 63
Assists 149
Points 212

For a team with durability issues on defense, I'd take the guy that shows up and plays.

How is my opinion somehow trolling 😀

There were a few articles written about Russian players and them fearing for their and their families safety about wearing them.

I wouldn't call it woke for this one.

- Stripes77


There is still a "woke" element to it. If this is true, this is more about the Russian government sticking it to the US and the rest of the West over Ukraine. I said about a week ago that I would do away with pretty much every human interest theme night, and I stand by it.

Nobody should be compelled to participate in a cause they don't feel strongly about let alone oppose regardless of what it is. I don't care if it's Hockey Fights Cancer, Saving the Whales, or curing World Hunger.

He's been taking heat for years due to the quality of his play.


- kingcong39



For a package of Konecny, Provorov and Hart at the cost of prospects and a future late 1st (protected) added to the nhl group would be worth it IMO.

Also how much of Provorov’s stats a reflection of the team?

Immediate fill for 3 glaring holes in the Sabres actual roster vs dream land prospect roster that is discussed daily on here

The future looks very bright.

Finally have a dominant 1st line
Quinn, cozens peterka great futures
Dahlin, power, samuelsson

Prospects galore....

It's a great time to be a Sabres fan, KA has really made this team likeable and promising.

Gotta play the leafs more then 3 times a year.
Football they play 17 and play twice in the division
Hockey they play 82 and thrice in the division

Makes zero sense

Signing at ATO to play in Roch the remainder of the year, then his ELC after. Would mean not burning his 1st year.

Yeah I totally agree, I remember when we used to play like 6 or 8 times a year against the leafs.

GMKA really has an important job this summer, now is the time to Murray the team.

Wasnt directed at you but the overall notion is we can’t trade:

Savoie
Kulich
Ostlund
Rosen
Nadeau
Johnson


If the right player came along I’m trading any one of them.

I’m not sure who that right player is though.

- ImThatGuy


I agree with all that with some reservation on Savoie. And I would emphasize the trade target has to be a player or players, not other prospects or picks, and those players need to have established significant skill, especially if they are defensemen who can play defense.

Are they willing to give him any more than a one year deal?
