Is watt just using us ? Reports are he wants 16 million.
- Elite Josh Allen

No reports are that he has a offer for 16mill a year. Which doesn't surprise me cause Cleveland was driving up the price, but I don't think it's a offer from the supposed top3 or he would have signed it already. Bet it was leaked to see if he could get Buffalo, Green Bay or Tennessee to raise there's.

I know probably the top 11-12 D men in the system without having to look anything up. I don't know this guy. He's not good. At minimum this idea is a reach but most likely it's just dumb.

Disagree as in I know Irwin is bad. Some guys are late bloomers. Think we could not be talking about Irwin and Pilut could be playing if management didn’t jerk him around.
- SDSabre


Pilut is also no good in the NHL. Perfect example actually. Great point producer in the AHL, not an NHL defensemen. There is a reason he is playing in the KHL. He might get another shot with another team but he'll never be a good NHL D man. Too weak and not good enough with the puck. If he was that good we could have traded him and he'd be playing for another team this season. He's not.

They could pressure them to, but usually they only do that for misconduct. Unfortunately, incompetence doesn't fall under that category.

i hate this as much as anyone else in sabreland, however i'm interested in seeing how this plays out...my expectations were middling to begin the season and have dwindled since, but this team has been in the same rut for much of the past 14 years...maybe the der Schulleiter will finally break the chain

from bettman's standpoint, terry and kim are billionaires who've been sinking money into the team despite huge losses, especially during covid...the nhl is a business

I have no idea how one can come to that conclusion with 30 games in the NHL, while he’s been very good in every other league he’s played.

He also had good defensive results here

Pilut is still better then Irwin, and not really close. Honestly Irwin is bad, you admit it. Wouldn’t you rather roll the dice on someone you think might be bad, but also might surprise or just continue to roll with the bad you know.

I am in favour of Switching 2 franchise players
Jack Hughes, Nico hischier for jack eichel

It's only been 10 years, 9 seasons. Those 2010-11 teams weren't that bad, took the Flyers to 7 and Boston to 6, both teams ended up going to the Cup very soon after. Would be nice to see some playoff hockey

Jeff Skinner's agent, Don Meehan, had a lengthy phone conversation with Sabres GM Kevyn Adams on Wednesday.

Meehan expressed his and Skinner's concerns. Skinner will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive game tonight against New Jersey.

Surprised Kim let Adams tag the ball gag out.

Pilut didn't want to be shuffled in and out of the lineup, tis why he didn't sign.

- sbroads24


49 games played
1 goal
5 assists
-12

Those 49 games were as a 23-24 year old not an 18yr old rookie. He's not physically built for the NHL game. He's been good against lesser competition and/or on bigger ice surfaces.

I forget the answer to this - isn't there still a path where he could come back? He would be in our top 4 right now.
