Made the mistake of looking at capfriendly after someone here mentioned it earlier today. Apparently the Sabres are also the prime dumping ground for every teams bad contracts as well.So the Sabres are looking at the market for forwards, and defensemen, and a goalie. Informative breakdown by Dreger.
Well they did sign 11 UFA's last summer - forwards, defensemen, and goalies. So we will do the same this time. A bunch of bargain bin depth players on 2-way deals or NHL minimum.So the Sabres are looking at the market for forwards, and defensemen, and a goalie. Informative breakdown by Dreger.
I almost died when Chad said that Jame is going to be PO'd that he didn't trade for Gibson.
The Bill Zito and Crazy Ron Hextall voices by Anthony and the Jame call out were worth the time to me.
I busted out laughing when Wadell called back and said this Ethan Bear guy has got to f***ing go.The Bill Zito and Crazy Ron Hextall voices by Anthony and the Jame call out were worth the time to me.
I think we all think they’ll trade Olofsson if they can find the right deal and can line up replacement production. Not saying we all agree with it. That alone creates a big hole that creates a ripple effect.
Hes got some connection, but there's a lot of down time when nothing's out there, so he blows smoke.
Not that I don’t believe you - but is there an example for this? I know he had a major flub a couple years ago with Sorokin to CHI. But I would say for the most part he’s been accurate. I don’t listen to his spot on The Instigators that often so he could do this kind of stuff a lot - I just haven’t seen/heard it.
He doesn’t necessarily need to hear the rumors from KA himself. He definitely talks to other GMs and agents (probably moreso the latter). I would think that he gets a fair amount of intel from agents in regards to potential interest from teams.
We really don’t know what they will do. They have the assets to do a lot of things. Most assume they won’t be very aggressive or spend much (Bishop trade possible evidence of that). But ultimately we have no idea.
I actually don’t even want them to be aggressive this year. Add a goalie of course. Add a rhd...yes. Want to get a veteran forward in there…sure. But I’d rather play this year out integrating some really really important rookie pieces to something that finally started working…and then after this year is over have a better idea of where your players fit, who they are, and what you need. Then go crazy.
That was the point I was going to make. There just does not seem to be anyone in the media that is one degree or two degrees separated from anyone close to those inner conversations. Trade stuff I think comes out of agent offices, so that is why we would hear about Eichel. But even that took Peter's connection to the Tuch family either through the brother or a close friend of the Tuchs.
