Seems like an eichel 8 x 10 type deal.

7 x 10 if that's allowed this year.

Lock him up to the max term ☝️

If that happens, Adams is a genius.

Agreed.
They don't need a #1, they'll have 2 sooner than later.
They need an upgrade over Joker, preferably a RhD for balance.
And, a ~30yo on a 2 -3 year deal would be ideal especially if they daft a couple of Dmen for the pipeline.

I'm guessing that's close but it's still early. They want to go over there " FUTURE PLANS " with him.
- SABRES 89

I am sure he wants to hear it to. Think getting him signed would go along way to the outside perception. Especially with Levi now.

This practice is as common as it gets with your top players.

anything other than he wants to be here for a long time is utter nonsense.

chatter around him was nonexistent at the TDL, which actually surprised me a lot.

It would be a smart play, I think. He offers exactly what this team is seeking.

Open to using Rosen as he's maybe our 4 or 5 best prospect, but I'm not sure I want to use him on Provorov. Personally I'd rather just use a 2nd on Connor Murphy. Maybe Sebastian Aho from the Islanders could be made available.
- TheSabresTaco


I could see a connor Murphy move

I really hope they aim a bit higher , like a 3/4 guy.

Dahiln
Samuelsson
Power


Boosh
Stillman

Murphy fits in between/ lower end IMO

I have wanted the Sabres to try for a couple years to get him, heard he told them he wanted to finish out the year and go from there, he does have a M-NTC. Thought he would have been good for Dahlin, same with Power.

I'm keeping and extending dahlin for next year in the fantasy league FYI

Hope we get another chance, I'm in. You know 🌮 is too.

Dahlins points have dipped quite a bit the last 1/4 of the season.

Always seemed like 10/11 million a year IMO.
Now closer to 10 per....

Guys a unicorn, similar to josh allen

That's good to hear, but him signing sends a message to players around the league that Buffalo is on the map. He doesn't sign a contract and do people or players start having Eichel thoughts.

They finish with 4 games in 5 nights. Think that's asking too much.

Anderson vs Ottawa to finish the home season and his career. IMO. Fan appreciation night.

I think we see levi tonight and Saturday afternoon vs Carolina. Especially if we win tonight.

Overflow Home crowd that didnt see him vs the rangers. Looks like it could be a sell out.

I understand the sentiment behind Karlsson, but I think you can achieve that splash in a more responsible way.

The guy might as well play the wing. Cause his defense is non-existent

I’d take a shot on him.

I’d ask SJ to retain 2.5 of salary.

the rest of our team does not play d as well though

I don't think we are going to build a scoring team, based on players drafted high and signed long term, and going to all of a sudden switch to a bruin type defense

as long as donny is the coach and adams is the gm

Although I agree with our offense and karlsons fit, his age a price tag would be against everything this management team stands for.

I'd be shocked.

Also , I think the Sabres would be looking for a defensive defenseman to balance out some of our high end offensive defenseman talent.

Ying to yang

You're adding more ying to ying ☝️
