Top 5 pick, here we go.

Lindy ruff is gonna add some extra points in the win loss column.

Just because we traded down 3 spots and used the extra pick on a Robinson replacement , doesn’t mean we’re heading for last place.

Skinner was too smiley to be a winner

Gerbs - show some balls and give us something that’s not vague

You don't just take 25 goals out of your lineup, though, without a plan to replace that.

He had 1 point in his last 13 games as a Sabre.

Was clocked as one of the slowest forwards in the league this last season.

Below average play maker, not good on the PP, can’t PK, and one of the worst forwards defensively in the league.

Wouldn’t want him in the bottom 6, don’t trust him at this stage in the top 6.

Whether he was bought out this year or next year it wasn’t a tangible difference.

Easy call to me.

Not doubting you but I'm curious where you got that data

It was Ehlers, and it’s not completely dead yet either.

Watch the Sabres offer Stamkos something like 2× 11 or 12mill
- Buff36

That's exactly what they should do. Weaponize cap space for shortest contracts possible

I heard the morning show guys on WGR discussing speed stats and heard something similar there as well.

I didn’t book mark it. IIRC it was Corey Sznajder from All Three Zones that posted it on Twitter.

This was a little while ago though

Honestly if he overpaid stamkos for two years then signed Domi, and the hopeful improvement in some of our young guys I think we could be ok. No way he could ever pull that off though

It wouldn't matter if we did.

Well keep trying

Not true
- gerbe75pts

The evidence is quite clear.

We will sign a 3rd liner, 4th liner, and another depth player. This organization is a joke. If the Byram trade wasnt embarrassing enough, he just keeps the hits rolling, a 2nd for a player who might not actually make the team.

Here's the reason: Skinner said he's sick of this poop and asked out.

Adams only wants PWWTBH, of course.
- kingcong39

Cool. Tell Skinner he would give a list he doesnt want to give a list of teams, he is riding the pine for all 82 games.

It’s hard to pass up 2.75 avr , but the door is always open.

Shop around and come back (Adams learned it from Beane )

Top5gm move
- Boss34

Offering Girgensons 2.75 avg is a bottom 32 GM move.

Get paid 9 million dollars to not play hockey? Sign me up.

Not to mention the NHLPA is going to have a fit if you try anything like that

They can have a fit all they want. If he is the 13th best forward on your team, he rides the pine.

He has 3 years left on his contract. No professional athlete would want to sit out for 3 years of their career.

Tough Bjorkensons

There may not be a lot of big name FAs out there. But there are some that would be valuable additions to a team. Players that can be enticed away from cap strapped teams trying to keep all of their big names.

for instance

Idk, maybe he's right. We gave up a 2nd for turbo girgensons. Why wouldn't GMs want to deal with Adams
- Hank Balling

Its funny how he overpaid so badly for that guy but won't pay up to make something significant happen

thought that name rang a bell. Judging only from games vs FL, you guys may have a player there.
