I doubt anybody is trading for him. He's bad at offense, has been mostly bad at defense, is always injured, has zero toughness or sandpaper to his game, and is locked up to a longterm contract.

The Sabres will have to buy him out if they want him gone.
It's a weird league and there are weird things that happen in trades sometimes, but I don't care if no one wants him you can buyout him. I'd rather take a vet like Cole/Dumoulin/Martinez on the third pair or give Johnson/Novikov a chance than look at Samuelsson.
 
This team needs a captain.
We have a captain and you can't take C away from Dahlin when you've already given it to him, you should have thought about it earlier.

This team just needs other players, I bet Dahlin and Benson would have gone after Noesen if they were on the ice at the time. But Sammy didn't, Zucker allegedly didn't see who it was, Power is afraid of his own shadow.

Maybe I am old fashion I guess where the captain is the one standing up for the players or at least instilling this in the team. Probably its changed in the last 20 years where the captain is just the best player on the team

Again, I don't know, but he wasn't on the ice. He responded to Noesen in the first period when he took an elbow to the head and he threw Noesen to the ice. Ruff says they shouldn't have responded to that hit on Thompson because of the f***ing game we won. Even Rob Ray said that for some reason. But whoever was on the ice should have done it. Well, I don't agree that he was given a C just because of the game. But we don't have any vet with a long-term contract to give C to, Dahlin is essentially our vet, considering he's been on the team for 6-7 years already.

We don’t need Dahlin sitting in the box for 5 minutes at any point. What we should have is a real 4th liner who can bring the pain and go after the Devils on the next ES shift . If you respond right away you lose your PP but there was ample time to go after their top guys… we need a Barnaby type who WILL go after opponents top guys if they mess with ours and can also play as a legit NHLer…

A fourth liner isn't enough, you need a few of those guys, and Dahlin actually responded in the first period and sat for two minutes. The problem is Sammy is a coward and Power is afraid of his own shadow. And Ruff, with all that talk about winning... you can respond and still win the game.
 
3 wins a row? The heroic run to 9th place after the pressure is off and opposing teams play their backup goaltender 75% of the time against us, has begun! Adams and Pegula will point to this "good play" down the stretch as the reason not to make any significant moves before next season.

Rinse and repeat! Sabres hockey baybeeeeee
So true and in the summer Adams Will think we are so close for a playoff spot because of this and do nothing
 
- as far zucker goes, 1 year at a time is fine. More than that you are asking for LTIR bingo with him given his history

- for greenway, I think it depends on what he wants in terms of role. Hes a black hole offensively. Is he willing to get paid like a bottom six veteran forward? If I’m him I want to get moved to a playoff team and showcase myself and hope to get overpaid this summer.

We certainly do need more veterans throughout the lineup.

Agreed that I would try to get Zucker on a similar deal to what he signed initially. If he has a hard bargain on term, maybe a 2 year but I wouldn't go any further.

Greenway is an interesting situation. He is at most a 35 point player. With that said, his size and defensive ability is something I really like, and he is the type of guy to drop the gloves right away to defend a teammate. I prefer someone like Mcleod, so if the cost to bring Greenway back goes above $3M I think I'm out. Tough though, he is a great player in the bottom six.
 
We need two Greenways in the lineup, a replacement for Zucker if he doesn't sign and a top 6 C, that's what concerns the attack.

If I greenways agent I am asking for a trade and not signing. Teams are going to have cap space this summer and every year some grinder who had a big playoffs gets overpaid.

I’m not opposed to bringing him back but he should probably hit the market
