I have no idea what EH projects for Meier's next co tract, assuming it is around $8.5m to 9.5m depending on term...but I would still be inclined to go after him in FA if I was GM.

He checks all the boxes to round out the Sabres top 6, has 995% of what they need as was discussed in-depth 2 months ago.

I'm not fan of FA for high-end players in the vast majority of cases, I still think he is a difference maker. His time in NJ to date has not gone well, that happens at times to players traded at the deadline who have been in one place for their careers, they have a hard time assimilating in short order.

Btw Timo Meier that a lot of people complained about Adams not getting.

4 points in 11 playoff games.

Chicken running man got hurt and literally did nothing for the sens


Fire Adams! Let’s go! (Sarcasm)

- Sabretooth9


That was the most snakebit playoff run I’ve seen in quite some time.

He was generating chances, puck didn’t go in for him.

That being said, the trade wasn’t made because he didn’t have term past the 2023/2024 season.

The guy is an elite winger.

You cant light a fire under kyvynv Adam's butt, proposing crazy trades.

Gudas isnt coming to buffalo
Trouba isnt either

Debricat flopped
Chyrun got injured
Meier flopped.

Take some heat for your bad judgement instead of pretending something was gonna be different here.

does the same heat count for wanting to keep girgens and risto, and the team still sucking?

Corey Pronman's mock draft has Zach Benson falling to the Sabres at 13th overall and that would be quite something

Grats on that win man. Can’t wait until I can get that feeling about playoff hockey again. That is a very underrated, well put together team. I’m not sure they’re underrated any more though. Pulling for you guys this year.

You might find this shocking but I totally agree with this. I would, however, like to think they will still spend some cash to bring in a player of Timo’s caliber. Part of capitalizing on having a great young team on relatively cheap contracts is having the room to bring in a monster or two. I hope they take this route. It still amazes me how much talent we have on the front end. It’s actually ridiculous.

Trade it:

NHL hockey in Canada is burning down before our eyes, get on the horn with:

Jets
Flames
Canucks
Leafs

I saw in the Laffs thread some dude wanted to trade Tavares for Mitts lol 91 has a worse than contract Skinner.

Adams should be looking out west, lots of potential there IMO.

Is the 13th OA enough to acquire:

Pionk - 27 6’ 185lbs RD at $5.8 for 3 more years

Or

Andersson - 26 6’ 1” 215lbs RD at $4.5 for 3 more years

Or

Hronek - 25 6’ 183lbs RD at $4.4 for 2 more years


If Sharks eat 40% would you trade 13OA for Karlsson at $6.9?
