Nosek to the Panthers.
Who is one dimensional? He is a 40 pt winger who can give quality 3rd line minutes, not be a defensive liability like Skinner and can press up into the top 6 in a pinch. He provides another option on the power play (which is a great addition that was sorely needed last year). It's also about a million more than his comp on a two year deal. Asking for a little over a million more one a one year deal instead of two is negligible, especially for our team who needs to spend money. Can't wait to see your disdain for the 300 level popcorn having 2mg less of salt than the 200 level, JFCI love how "Don't overpay for a 1 dimensional forward whose 1 dimension was awful last year' is some sort of hot take.
He's 32. In the last 5 years, he's had 1 season above 20 goals.
And that was when he played with Malkin.
In what world is overpaying for that, even on a one year deal...smart?
It's dumb desperation management, again.
It's like giving up an early 2nd round pick for a 4th line winger.
Wait, shit, we did that too.
There's the worst contract of the summer
Feel free to take a step away if you don’t like the product.Can we officially start boycotting this bullshit franchise. These moves are dog shit.
Are you being paid by the Sabres, to type that drab statement. Malenstyn, Aube-Kubel, Zucker, Sandstrom, Dunne, are more examples of Adams with his manboy crush on removing one problem for another. Add a bunch of big hard to play against talent that average less than 20 points, and instead of 10 points out of the playoffs, we're 25 out.
I'd rather have Chandler Stephenson, than the gut check we'll get later by saying that Peyton Krebs hasn't had enough time to show he's more. We trust the process, blah blah bla
What kind of production are you looking for out of 4th liners signed in free agency?Are you being paid by the Sabres, to type that drab statement.

Paid by the team? Surrrrre.
I...it's for the 4th line. They aren't paid to be point scorers. We have other needs sure but this was something he needed to address and he has.Are you being paid by the Sabres, to type that drab statement.

The Kraken gave 7 year deals to both Montour and Stephenson. Major oof.
Adams doesn't have a sense of urgency, he's waiting it out for one of his 35 draft picks in the last 4 years to become a superstar. He has the same pulse as a corpse. I love the drafting, and I trust some of the development, but we're 14 years into a rebuild in it's fourth iteration. There needs to be urgency. The trusting the process died, when we followed a 1 point playoff miss, by missing so monumentally. They say the right things, but they don't follow up on promises. They continue to feign contempt with pleasing plausible things like bringing back Ruff. I love Lindy Ruff, but it's not enough. They're covering shit with cologne.I...it's for the 4th line.

Do I have faith in him to fill the Top 6 holes? No. But these guys should be helpful in making us harder to play against and protecting guys like Benson.
Botterilled
I don't get that annoyed on UFA day much anymore. The majority of these contracts and signing don't end up working out. They age poorly.Eh, they need some guys who will finish a hit without an invitation and a mint on their pillow.
Okay Chain! That made me laugh! I get so annoyed on UFA day. It's hard to watch my favorite franchise flounder and be run into the ground by such pathetic owners.
He’s not making trades though, so are fans allowed to complain about that part of it?
