I really did think they would be in on this guy. Not happily, just that he's the sort of mid-bottom of the barrel, low-effort, low-desire guy who can scuttle them. And that was why I thought it was possible.

 

[Aladyyn]

They added adults to the room who can play their roles well, I like it, guess some fans needed bigger splashes.

The Skinner buyout changed the expectations even for those of us who don't believe the team needs a major makeover

 

[Chainshot]

Debrusk to Vancouver.

 

[Mattilaus]

They added adults to the room who can play their roles well, I like it, guess some fans needed bigger splashes.

For the teams we are fighting for a spot:

NJ fixed their goaltending
Ottawa fixed their goaltending
washington added mangiapane, and an entire D corps


You think we did enough to get a playoff spot?

 

[Chainshot]

And Arvidsson to Edmonton. Hard player to play against, wish he had been in on Buffalo but playing wing with McDrai is tops.

 

[Gras]

Monahan to CLB 5x5.5

Will Carrier 6x2m CAR

 

[Kublakhan]

just like every other year, journeyman and kids it is...

 

[Sabre the Win]

Will Carrier holding a grudge to come back to Buffalo. I get it.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

Every team is getting better ... and then there's us. I have no idea how we get over any sort of hump with this roster and marginal additions.

 

[KeyserSoze81]

LOL we gave Zucker $5 million.

I mean, it's a one year deal. He made $5.3M last year. I don't want to commit for more than one year of Jason Zucker at age 32. He's a decent third line wing at this point in his career, and I guess we just hope that he hasn't fallen off a cliff.

 

[GameMisconduct]

Yeah that one is disappointing as it's a player I was really hoping for and thought could be a realistic get w/ an overpay from us. Not going to slight him for choosing to play w/ elite talent in Edmonton though.

And Arvidsson to Edmonton. Hard player to play against, wish he had been in on Buffalo but playing wing with McDrai is tops.

 

[TageGod]

Henrique or trade basically now.

And Carrier to Carolina.


Okay, I need to go for a walk.

 

[pigpen65]

Short term deals for everybody, even for Ruff. No idea what Adams thinks is going to happen in 2 years but it's obvious he has no plans for the team competing beyond just existing for the next couple of years.

[TageGod]

Ray of sunshine in the darkness right now lol

 

[Mattilaus]

Joe is a liar, it's not nice out, it's stupid 86 degrees. I didn't move to the arctic circle to be hot when i go outside.

 

[yasky]

just like every other year, journeyman and kids it is...

What did you expect with KA?

Players don’t want to be here unless theyre being overpaid on short term deals so they can go elsewhere at the deadline.

 

[Beerz]

3C Peyton Krebs.


Ooooooooooooof

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Utter bullshit. They have enough cap space to overpay UFAs to convince them to come to Buffalo.

 

[hizzoner]

I am musing about a deal with the Jets--How about Byrum and Savoie for McGroarty and Ehlers as the basis for a deal? They would have to be signed to contracts Sabres can live with?

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

We have the ability to overpay, so we should be doing that for actual good players. Money still talks.

NJ fixes their goaltending every year and every year it's still garbage

[Dubi Doo]

Exactly. Not sure why everyone is freaking out. I actually like the additions to the bottom-6 even if Zucker is overpaid. Now, if they do nothing else, then I'll be a bit peeved.
