Well yes, but isn't that what drew them to Buffalo the chance to contend, thought I heard that it there interviews.

I hope you are wrong, but unfortunately you could be right.

Be Funny if the Sabres miss out on Pesce because we brought in such High Quality assets and didn't have the cap space, Hey we overpaid but most are on 1yr deals.

Great news, there's plenty of space for a Brett Pesce extension. Clifton and R Johnson on the third pair.

Couple Larry's with Greenway.

Whatever you want with Levi.

I just see other teams have more fire power and better goaltending, Panthers, Lightning, Bruins, Canes, Leafs, Pens all give us fits. I hope I am wrong .

forgot the Rangers and Islanders also

Sure, let's dump some contracts to get it done to make room on the 23 man roster. Should be easy

maybe about 16 million.

Get some 4th liners, 7th D, add let's say 6M. Down to 10M going into contract years for Peterka and Quinn.

You've also got Benson, Savoie, Rosen, Ostlund looking to break in next season.

They have too many guys. It's probably setting up for a Mittelstadt and/or Krebs trade down the line.

Johnson came because the sabres overpaid him so he can buy a few more horses before he retires

All those UFAs people whining about this morning, can see how they or new guys fit into the new cap structure.

Still no one in this org that can do their jobs. So ya gotta call them back or go out and find new Larrys.

But in 2 years, this team is a cap team. For the people that give a poop about that.

They didn't have to bring those Larry's back before the start of FA. They left themselves No flexibility. Your 4th line should NOT be the 1st thing you worry about.

This guy has the Sabres prospect pool ranked 5th, he has Philly ahead already which I don't know enough about, seems aggresive.

LA moved way down in prospects but they are a contender already, that rebuild took what, 3/4 years?

you love to use the phrase crying


it's a chat site

the team sucks

some of us want to see the team do more than bank on prospects that may or may not pan out with all the cap we HAD




every time you throw a cry phrase out there

you are only throwing another log on the fire for the half that do not work for the sabres pr department on this site


it would be nice for this team to make that strive like the devils

we had more draft picks, higher draft picks, assets
2 first overall picked d men
first line already in place with skinner, tage, and tuch


this should not take year after year yet it does

“Crying” = noticing any perceived deficiencies on one of, if not the singular worst, run pro sports franchises in the last 50 years. I don’t think anything else needs to be said to illustrate what a pointlessly obnoxious, monumentally stupid take that is. The crying will stop when the team stops losing. Until then, those of you that prefer to stare at the interior wall if your colon, and mumble about what a great GM Adams is, are going to have to deal with a little bit of “crying”.

team sucks

extend the gm year after year and coach year after year

gm sits on his hands and does not make real moves other than bringing everyone back that wants to be here

average gm tenure is 3.5 years which adams will hit around jan 1st

and he really has not done anything except sell off

I just don't find it relevant. I can see why some people may take issue, but for this team, you pay him 1 2 or 3 million a piece, doesn't mean Richard.

Kyle was going to come back regardless as long as he wanted to play. Girgensons too as long as he was willing to take a 1 year deal.

It was set in stone. I mean you want to talk about overpaying, Chicago spent 8 million doll hairs on Perry and Foligno. Namestnikov got 2.5M too. Engvall got 2.25 into the next decade. Busted ass Nick Bonino got 2M. Trevor Moore, same thing.

Way I see it, if signing these guys stops you from signing significant players or legitimately blocking prospects (Brett Murray is blocked and is PISSED), then you have a problem. Otherwise, this burger has nothing between the buns.
