Erod could at least flip the ice. He sucks at scoring but he’s fine as a utility player.

Lazar has done absolutely nothing
- sbroads24

Definitely, erod had speed and pushed the offense.

Lazar seems like a 13th forward.

Maybe 12th on lean and covid pricing

I’m fine with Lazar as the 12/13th forward. But I honestly don’t even want him penciled in as the 4C

How close is asplund? I think the Sabres sign OG larry. It seems like Ralph has personal decisions, and he gave larry good minutes. Tough minutes.

Ralph cant possibly be blaming him for last years record, in my opinion. Gritty , sandpaper.

Sorry crags

I think Larsson wants to hit UFA.

Let Asplund, Lazar, and anyone they bring in fight it out.

Yeah until he fell, his brain couldn't keep up with his feet.

Hey Bum, u watching top 💯? Such an awesome show. Love watching it every year. Thanks for mentioning it.

If Bills are good and Bears stink, would u trade first round pick again to get Mack? He’d have to get used to being 4-3 end in my mind, but the Bills would be an all time defense. Would be loaded at every level like we’ve never seen.

You're probably right.
I'm sure alot of these guys want out of Buffalo.

Is asplund really an nhl player?


In regards to olloffson, how do you feel about the skinner / olloffson combo at lw1 and lw2.

Where does that combo rank in the nhl?
Probably gonna be close to 14 million between them

Hey TM yeah it's to bad they took Watkins instead of Mack. But are defense has been pretty good anyways. It's to bad Watkins couldn't stay sober and healthy. And didn't catch any of the 100 after White's selection. My son told me Mack came in at 19.

I don’t think it would matter. Bills would’ve been the team that traded him. They weren’t ready for him then. They are now.

I think Asplund took a step back in Rochester. Not sure on him.

My ideal scenario is keeping Larsson, adding a 2C and seeing where Mitts and Cozens end up after camp

I like Asplund. He has to win a job though. Still waiver exempt for another year.

As for Skinner and VO....off the top of my head, I'd have to think middle of the road. Still think VO is signing for less than you do, but the 2 won't be very good value. Don't imagine anyone here loves them both enough to think otherwise, interesting question though. Curious to see if anyone fights that.

I think olloffson takes a deal for
2 years ×3.85
3 years x 4
4 years x 4.25

Hopefully the 4 year deal.

Eichel factor inflation of points.

Thought you were a little higher. Those are pretty reasonable, but cross off the 3 year. Can't just walk him to UFA.

Who wouldn’t do that???

Is Clowney still unsigned?
I’d be all about releasing Murphy & signing him instead

He hasn’t said anything, has he?

Until he does, I’m gonna continue to hope we bring Larsson back

I think he’s a goner. Sucks too. He’s the optimal option to be 3C for a year if we get a 2C

Yeah Clowney is still available, and with Star's opt-out his salary comes of the books until next year so that's another 5mill you could use. But can't see it being more than a 1yr deal unless you are letting Milano and Dawkins walk cause the Bill's will only have about 15mill in Cap space next year with the Cap drop to 175mill.

- sbroads24

I keep hearing ppl say they think he’s gone
That’s fine, we all have opinions
I’m just wondering if LARSSON has actually said anything RECENTLY to give us that vibe??

Seems like this all stems from 3years ago when he said he wanted more icetime & a bigger role
Well these past 2yrs,
he’s gotten more icetime & a bigger role

So idk what makes ppl so sure he’s leaving??

There’s a lot of guys we can (and should) release after this year that would give us more cap space

Yes but those are just 2, you have to think about White sooner than later, and Hyde. Gonna be tough the next few years. Edmunds and Allen if he keeps progressing are gonna have to be thought of, there 5th year options won't be cheap.

Guys we can cut after this year & the cap savings we’d get:

WR j.brown- 8.15m
DE j.hughes- 7.35m
DE m.addisson- 6.225m
DT v.butler- 6.85m
WR c.beasley- 4.4m
DT q.jefferson- 5.0m
OG- q.spain- 4.0m
C- s.long- 4.0m
LB- t.matakevich- 3.35m
K- s.haushka- 3.55m
TE- l.smith- 2.25m

That’s around 50mil right there in guys that should be replaceable


I’m not saying we don’t have to think of the Cap
But a true #1 outside pash rusher is worth every penny
Makes the rest of the defense better

Seams reasonable. Sam $ from the last contract.

2 keeps him rfa?

5 years has popped up recently around the league.

Takes him to 30-31 years old 5 @ 4.375

I'm buffalo guy, hopefully larry likes the small town swedish feel here. I like what he brings, cant say he takes a shift off.

But,

-We suck and probably won't win
-He's getting his first shot at big ufa $
-chosing a destination with a better climate

For Sam or Olofsson?

Olofsson 2 x 3.85

Sam 1 x 5.5

I could see a few of those guys released, I like Clowney very good all-around player, but Addison has been just as good the last 4yrs
