There are probably 25 guys as good or better than Girgensons, Jost, Okposo who signed for $775k

Heres a different question, who are they actually better than that signed for more than they did this year?

For the record not a dig at gerbe at all, seems like pesce was the big move but they just couldn’t get him here.

adding the 55th pick in the 2024 draft doesn't do squat for me.

Karmanos has a personal connection. I mean this is a thing that is going to happen, just part of the game. I don’t excuse their inactivity because of it though

Strongly disagree

The team was 3rd in scoring last season, why make huge roster swings.

Sabres needed some good defenseman for when injuries pop up. They signed 2 nhl guys.

- Boss34


You hit it. They needed a top 4 and settled for 2 guys.

Did they know before they signed Johnson and Clifton he wouldn't waive ?

Deal properly won’t be done till the 8th because of DeAngelo. Fire up the pegsjet and salvage the deal…

Guys the Chiefs already won a few super bowls why are they trying to improve still?

The Bills are already a top offense, why try to make big changes there.


You’ve already been successful at your job, might as well just not try to improve on it to be even better.

Who cares. They are all on 1 year deals and it doesn’t hurt the team at all by overpaying them.

Even if you say Erik Johnson was overpaid. It’s a 1 year deal.

No harm, no foul with a 1 year deal

Everyone should care, it means you overpaid players that weren't as good as the ones that were available. Jesus throw the 1yr deal out of your Head.

Domi had 56 points last year.
Girgensons has 55 points over the last 3 years.

Zg's best 2 seasons in the nhl combined for 52 pts.

Career domi 371pts in 581games
Girgs 174pts in 625games

We both know his purpose isn't points. And Domi is a net negative. HIs defensive metrics are about the worst in the league.

Look I don't want to sit here and defend these two plebs but they have a specific job to do, they do the job they're here to do and unfortunately that doesn't include scoring. Good thing this team was one of the highest scoring teams in the league despite them.

Their peers are just as useful, or useless, as they are. It's still the same horse sh1t, just a different farm.

Wow its like you didn't read the whole sentence.

Domi is good playmaker. He also absolutely sucks at everything to do behind middle ice.

He would not be servicable on the 4th line is what my point was.

You guys are complaining about Girgs and Poso yet they fill a role and do it well.

Who is better at their role that signed for 775k or more like was said?
