Just watching him with the rangers. He was very slow skating wise.


If you watched the playoffs. Speed and skill are needed. Tarenko like Kane don’t have the wheels anymore

Oh but (frank)ing Gigensons and Okposo okay

Don’t talk to me if you are going to be so insulting

,

4th line has 7 mil in it

bottom pair for d men has probably 6 mil in it


on a young team with some value contracts

top 4 d man power on entry deal
krebs, quinn, peterka, levi on entry deals


I would rather use that 12 or so mil on 2 decent IMPACT players to help this young team get over the hump short term vs more same old, same old and hope tage, skinner, tuch, cozens repeats their numbers

levi banked on to be the next vezina winner

you need difference makers to compete for a cup and we are not even brining in types to ensure we keep the next steps going


if we fall back 3 spots in the east this season, it should surprise nobody given our moves so far

Can you please pick up Olli at the Airport

Can’t say I’ve watched him.

Watched a lot of Avs, Vegas, and hurricane playoff games.

Some rangers due to my buddy being a fan

with power, dahlin, tage, skinner, cozens, tuch

this team had a chance to make a few moves to make it a special team

instead we are left with someone walking out of the room after leaving a paint peeler fart echoing the room


thanks adams

Like who? What 6 million guys are signing for 1 year here, or what are we trading to get that guy for 1 year?

What are your targets and compensation?

Why does it have to be a 1yr deal, Sabres were one of a very few teams that could have paid Bertuzzi.
Duchene would have been a decent get for 1yr 3mill

Clifton signing is interesting. I like the move but he's never been a top 4 dman so yea

Not upgrading the roster this offseason is a huge fail and no amount of piss poor rationale will save you from it

Harmonic to Ottawa

I’m a little ashamed of the old timers here. Unless I missed it, all the “Johnson” talk, and no Blazing Saddles reference?!
Though to be fair, a few posts here do rise to the level of “authentic frontier gibberish”. A fitting tribute to an amazing movie.

Zadina cleared, there's a buy low reclamation project

Also, what's wrong with Quinn and Peterka being 3rd line instead of 2nd line players.

If they are on the 3rd line, it means the Sabres have an even more formidable top 9, and then top 9 due to Peterka and Quinn being there.

Why do Quinn and Peterka have to be in the top 6?

No one would trade for him, no one would claim him for free. What an odd one.

Usually GMs in the offseason are pretty respectful about claiming prospects or young players during the summer.


same reason they don’t offer sheet players.

Which continues my point that most of these gms operate like old men doing the same thing year in and year out.

Trotz and briere holding salaries to dump players and stuff like that. It’s a nice change

Homie has an irrational love for GMTM or GMKB cuz his uncle was friends with one of them. Both were unmitigated disasters but in homies eyes could do know wrong. kA can do know right, doesn’t talk to the uncle or the uncle was part of the purge.

Tarasenko doesn’t help us and the rest of the free agent class is pretty weak.

Why spend money on garbage just to get garbage in return?

Kane
Tarasenko
Dumb
Toews

Etc. they are all has beens and cooked.

Erik Johnson is cooked but is an upgrade from Clauge Bryson and I’m forgetting one.

It’s a 3rd pairing d. I don’t expect him to be Dahlin at his age.

Clifton the bruins guy ….. my buddy who is a die heart bruins fan. Loves the pick up for the Sabres. He said pair him with an offensive defensemen and he will be perfect for them.

He also learned a lot from chara his entire bruins career.

FA class was weak, Sabres locked themselves into contracts before FA even started. There were plenty of Players that signed that could have helped the Bottom 9. This is not even remotely close to being true.

Detroit hasn't exactly been very good lately at developing there prospects.

I think you're a bit off here. You don't need to to waive players during the summer. It's odd to see it. It's usually a buyout or mutual termination. In this case, they were willing to give him away and give him the fresh start he asked for. No one was interested.

The difference between Okposo / girgensons vs another bottom tier player is very small. Not enough to make a major difference

- Buff36

You know I hate pouncing on development when a prospect doesn't succeed immediately. Detroit has a great reputation for development and they didn't rush him at all.

Sometimes the potential they think they see at 18 isn't actually there.
