Michael Pachla: Jason Botterill checks off two more from his RFA list.

still lost

Sam will get 4 years 3.5 per

Sobotka and berglund give us depth now. Some of these kids are not ready but were forced into NHL roles. We can now properly develop them even if it means holding on to the 2 blues guys for only one year then dumping them. Pommer needs to go

He was fifth on the team in goals, which he did mostly at even strength. He's overpaid, but he was actually decent last year. 16 goals is nothing to sneeze at

Yeah but I’m pretty sure all those are at the beginning of the year and maybe 4 after that

One fun note: 36 points for Pommer this year would move him to 7th all time in points for the Sabres

He passed vanek ? Damn

Bailey will get the same deal. Smith will get a better bridge deal. Reinhart who the (frank) knows.

He passed vanek ? Damn

He needs 7 points to pass Vanek. He's also only 1 even strength goal behind Vanek which I found a little surprising

Samson and sneezing has little to do with goals.

Bailey is signed

RIP Ray Emery.

Bailey needs a better agent.

I hope 2 of these three - Baptiste, Bailey and CJ Smith make the team and both Larsson and Girgs are traded or waived. Nobody is going to trade for Pommer's $5.6 million salary until closer to the deadline. Assuming he has 10 goals or so by then, we might be able to get a 4th or 5th.

I am so done with Larsson.

The Sabres have too many waiver eligible F and D, esp F's, something has to go down for an upgrade at LW.

I think they need to pull off a Chris Drury type deal but for a talented LW. That didn't cost them a ton, unless you consider Keith Ballard a huge loss. Unfortunately, they don't have the young D to pull it off, unless they are willing to deal Guhle + for a talented LW.

Ray Emery dead.
