Sabres offseason so far:

View attachment 891101

:laugh:
I will be shocked if next season the Atlantic isn't the same four teams at the top, and the same four teams at the bottom. None of Detroit, Buffalo, Ottawa or Montreal will be any better. Maybe Ottawa gets a bit of a new coach bump. I have no idea what Detroit is doing. More than $20 million of cap space, and likely (still) one of the worst goaltending tandems in the league. I'm sure there is a method to their madness when it comes to retaining so much cap room, but I'm not seeing it right now. Who knows, maybe they are holding space for a Marner trade...

I feel confident Ottawa will finish closer to 1st in the Atlantic than out of the playoffs next season. Depends what happens with Pinto.

Jensen, Amadio, Ullmark, Perron are great additions.

I think Detroit is saving their cap space for next off season if Draisaitl, Rantanen, and Marner becomes free agent and target one.

I've wanted Henrique for years, he'd be a good 3C

Me too .. interesting that Tre said they've got some depth signings in the hopper (despite being just over the cap) and they'd like to add up front. Seems like he's trying to move some salary regardless.

Henrique is a big target right now.

Can't see Sammy excelling as a pure backup. Too unreliable.

Really thought he'd be KHL bound.

The way he stole the Toronto job briefly reminds me of Jack Campbell. Extremely mercurial guy who might put together a run for the starting job from a faltering starter but definitely not a guy with the right head space to hold that job, thrive in that job.

Somehow I completely missed the Oilers getting Arvidsson, great contract too. Ugh that top six has insane firepower

Edmonton getting Skinner and Arvidsson makes them look like an it factor team where forwards want to moonlight for a chance to win, pad up some stats with the big guns. I think Toronto is no longer on guy's radars like that.

I don’t see a Marner trade here now.

I don’t know what
Vegas
Islanders
Anaheim
Carolina

Are doing to address what they lost. Makes no sense.
