Radko Gudas got 3 years, 4M per. We can talk about how we wanted him, but were you comfortable paying 4.5M x 3 to get him here? This is a yes or no, not a comparable to Clifton or EJ.
- QuinnFan

yes, i'd take gudas at 4.5 over clifton at 3.3

1.2mm extra is not really a concern for the sabres in the next 3 years imo

vancouver is also getting similarly outplayed at 5v5 this season as they were last season but demko has a 940 save percentage lol
- robz228

I wish we got to play Edmonton, San Jose Calgary and Seattle 16 times.

Vancouver was horrendous last season.

Demko had too lengthy of a track record of being good to let one bad team season bother me.

It's also too easy, and foolish to just throw your hands up and say stupid poop like goalies are voodoo.

Lazy stuff.

according to NST:

2022-2023 vancouver high dancer scoring chance save percentage: 81%
2023-2024: 94%

vancouver is giving up the 4th most high danger chances in the league (more than buffalo) and has the highest save percentage in the league on all of them.

last season they were 11th in high danger chances against, but 24th in save percentage

I think money is a factor next year, so it was already a consideration in their offseason moves.

Optional skate. Both goalies are out there, and Luukkonen is in the starters net, so we'll see.

Any other word on the lineup?

Go tell Boss
- SABRES 89

I’m the one with the faith 89

You’re confused

Any other word on the lineup?
- DirtyDan

Didn't see anything. Optional probably means a few aren't out there.

Couple interesting decisions to make.

What is it 4 more to a 1000 for Okposo and then he hangs them up.

Why is Edmonton trading McDavid?

Sounds like they just need some stable leadership

sounds familiar

they have $23m coming off

olofsson is 4.75m launched to the moon

joki and mittlestadt are signed for 5m total, what do they get to, 9m combined next contract if they are signed?

keeps them at net -14m so MINIMUM 21m cap space and having to replace:

olofsson
girgensons
okposo
jost
krebs
bryson
erik johnson
UPL

Bryson was the last guy off the ice, so he's likely the healthy scratch

I always thought milestones came with promotions

Imagine how much his leadership levels up at 1000 games

Shouldn't Power + Dahlin kicking in be included?

Just take the overview from CF. 64m allocated to 12 players. 23m of space. Figure 11m for Mitts + Joker. Leaves 12m for 9 players. Even if most of those are ELC's, there's not much space.

Think we are at the point that production on the Ice should take precedent over his Leadership or what ever you call it.

Do you allocate that money to Joker or go after someone hopefully better ?

Granato confirms #Sabres will go back to standard 12F-6D alignment. Bryson will be the scratch on D and Ryan Johnson will play again.

Good, hope he gets more ice time. Like next to Dahlin

Would I try to do something to improve the D? Of ourse.

You see them doing anything other than extending him?

I'd like to see Joker this year away from the big 2 at some point. Give more of an idea where hes at.
