then power is lucky to get 6 mil per

Funny we had plenty of Cap space and some room and we blew most of are wad on 4th liners and Bottom pair D. And people are Happy!! And know we want trades when Adams has made it difficult on himself to do that. I really hope Adams has something up his sleeve because as of this point it's a BIG F
- Buff36

I’m not happy. The 3 Larry signings are a joke, especially Okposo. He should have begged us for a league minimum if he truly cares about the team and refused any other offer. The guy made a fortune on us.
The d as it stands is ok, not great. At least we don’t have to see Bryson ever again.
We still need to do much more if we are serious about the playoffs this year and that should be the number 1,2,3 priorities above all else

I'm not and I'm pretty certain Kev feels similarly. He still has a lot to work on in his 200' game.

He wasn't invited for a callup this past season at all. It's a strong tell for this management.

Let's see what training camp says
- TheSabresTaco

Peterka was a lot worse defensively and he got the job, so I wouldn't rule it out.

This brings it back to the idea that its in Powers and the Sabres interests to wait another year.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Olo's spot goes to the prospect.

Girgs, Okposo, Jost make up your Larrys, and you're living in a fantasy land if you think this org will stock the 4th line with prospects.
- TheSabresTaco

I think guys like Greenway and Krebs will slide down, prospects to the 3rd.

Ok racist

Agreed. Quinn too. Both sat in the presser and learned what needed to be done to stick. They put the work in and showed a lot better after Nov/Dec.

Kulich didn't get called up cause he was 18 and not ready. They weren't going to rush the kid when they had several guys who could of came in as a call up.

what would tage get in a trade?

A poop load. I wonder if Dahlin is waiting to see if more is coming this summer before signing long term

Erik Johnson only played 63 games last year - 0 goals 8 assists 12 pims

You're going to see the bottom pairing rotate:

Johnson/Joker
LA-busch-can/Stillman
Bryson

With the hopes 2 of them find something positive to keep them consistently in the lineup. I would like to see Bryson waived in favor of Cal Foote

Bryson needs to be farrrrr away from this team. For god sakes.

I'm not upset by it, Rousek deserves a look for what he's done down there. A lot has happened since is all.

There are plenty of trades out there if KA chooses. Depends on his appetite to trade picks/prospects. I still think there may be a Hart trade (maybe including Konecny) in the works, pending his name is cleared in the Team Canada scandal.

Hart is signed for $4m this year, and RFA next year - he'd be a GREAT tandem going forward with Levi
Konecny is 5.5m for 2 more years, can play both wings and would be a great 2nd line guy for 2 years before the prospects take over.

Price would be steap, but I think worth it:

Hart & Konecny for
UPL, Joker, Rosen, Oloffson 2023 1st

That's $9.5m in, $8m out. PHI wants to tank and they can flip Joker (they'll be value for him) and Oloffson (The probably can get a 2nd or 3rd if they retain salary).

- Jet Jaguar BD

What are you going to do if they ever try to gentrify Lockport?

Think we know they've wanted to make bigger moves, but all KA can manage are 4th liners, 3rd pairs, and backup G's. If it wasn't concerning last summer, it is now.
- Lunaion

If he continues to draft the way he’s been drafting, all he will need to do is excel at finding bottom of the lineup players.

- QuinnFan

He does, but he's likely a 4th liner. Their moves + his contract say he's looking at next year, barring injuries.

- Swedish_Jesus

That's so easy, it's so easy he has failed at it since he became GM.

As much as I hate the idea, I think Boss is right that management views this as a 5 year rebuild and we're in year 4.

Playoffs would be a bonus but it's not the goal.
- Hank Balling

That's because they aren't a good management group

You really think they could swindle them with 4 disposable pieces?

Let's assume the cost hurts. What are you doing with a Hart extension?

how many difference makers has he drafted?


aside from power falling into his lap

it's still all potential

- washedup20

Trust me, it will never happen. Sh¡t is hood asf

Just in the last week, 2 people got shot, one died, one got shot in the face, high speed car chase and a guy held a woman at gunpoint and raped her.

This town is getting rough, not smooth.

Still not racism, and did you really just tell me a slave is racist toward a slave? Dude. That’s like saying cops aren’t a Catholic mafia run by the state.

There is a reading epidemic in this country, and worse, when you do read, you lack even basic comprehension when it comes to anything, let alone class, race, sex/gender and the actual factual history of this country.

Read A People’s History of the United States. It’s a history book compiled from newspapers, diaries and historical data on the birth and systematic destruction of the idea of “America” - an idea that has yet to be fully realized.

When the founding fathers said “We the people” they didn’t mean you - they meant rich, white land owners.

How is this type degrading condescending talk ok?
But when I talk about paper straws my comments are deleted and told to leave the site?
