I think they keep Olofsson for that spot, given his current market. They wouldve known about the injury before the draft and it didn't alter their plans at forward leading up to it.

Im curious if they change their focus to FA for defense though.

Annoying that they would think keeping him is their best move, but it's on brand. Heading into UFA, there's better options.

I sincerely hope not.

Olofsson just doesn’t fit what they want to look like.

Take whatever and go get a two way winger

Isn't this really Olofsson's forever market?

Why continue to try and draw blood from a stone, unless they're just going to treat him like an expiring contract.

Even then, I don't get it.

Take what you can get and move on, so you can improve elsewhere.

Supposedly the Canes are going to sign or trade Brett Pesce by July 1. They better hurry; nothing cooking right now on either front. He’s going into the last year of his deal & has a 15-team no-trade list. Some chatter Nashville, Vancouver & Toronto among teams who poked on him.

If one injury to a player like Quinn foils their plans, what kind of team are they?

Oh and for Taco - the drink of choice tonight after a long day is Hayburner

A strong choice for any occasion. I've got some of these southern tier mango things, they're OK.

Is the double titos coming out when Top5 Gets His Man?

I think they move him.

Sabres rumors rarely leak and that leaked. Has to be agent driven

My boss loves those. Little weak on the ABV. What is it your period or something?

Adams directly stated he was trying to move him

I try not to get too dumpy on the weekdays besides days like yesterday

This weekend I've got the kids in the pool so it's probably double gin sodas till after my wife yells at me

One that loves their guys too much to make moves to improve. Really hope this weekend shows otherwise.

Word is Bertuzzi is now going to hit free agency.

It doesn’t foil their plans, but I mean losing a legitimate top 6 forward isn’t nothing either.

I’m going to micro wresting tomorrow at Riverworks with the wife and her boyfriend so I offered to DD. They rarely get quality time

I'm going to a concert there in a couple weeks. Drop them off at riverworks and go hit up big ditch and resurgence

It’s a gut punch. As pessimistic as I am I absolutely love Quinn and he’s losing development time

I sincerely hope not.

It's hard to gauge cause so far 98% of moves are just...not happening? So i dont even know. Today Olofsson is untradeable, tomorrow someone has to give up a 3rd rounder for him.

And do you really think this stops when we make the playoffs? Not a chance.
- Slump Buster

Why not? It did with the Bills. And at this rate the Sabres will eclipse the Bills

Are they just unwilling to take a 3rd or 4th round pick while retaining 50% and just move on?

Im not even sure they are getting that. Im inclined to think if they had, he'd be gone.

Last thing Id heard on him was they cant give him away, but idk if thats with or without retention.

Theoretical question. You have one year to pick a team to root for and follow. Your choics are last years Sabres team or last years Islanders, who made the playoffs.
- Slump Buster

Rhetorical question. You have one year to pick a team to root for and follow. Your choices are last year's Sabres team or last year's Vegas team, who won the Cup by doing things the polar opposite of the Sabres.

Molson is the only beer I don’t find to be disgusting.

In all seriousness I don’t want to go at all but im being dragged and im going to run into a bunch of old coworkers so I’ll probably be hitting the Tito’s and stealing someone’s vape

I am guessing that is without, as I have serious questions as to just how much money ownership is willing to burn.

Yeah I have a hard time believing they'd retain over 2 mil for a 3rd or 4th.
