IMO he can get you a Fowler type guy.

Also their 1st rd pick should be in play this year.

Let's start the rumors.

The 1st 20 games will determine the season IMO(fitting the 20th game is the day before Thanksgiving)

That early West coast trip might be a blessing.

Could bring the team together early.

Might also be a train wreck.

Kind of my point though. plus it really messes up where everyone plays on D.

All of this.

Last year the west coast trip is when things really started to gel. I'd like to think they can do it again, and use that as a foundation for all kinds of good things.

Franson won't be here past New Years.


Just a hunch.

These last few moves for D and at F will be interesting. Fasching, Nylander, Grant all have a shot and Falk, Guhle and Nelson on the D. I think Baptiste and Catenacci go to Rochester and Falk will go on waivers for the purpose of going to Rochester as well.

And Cody McCormick on the ice this morning at practice.

I think Grant, Fasching and Nelson stay. Guhle back to the WHL, Nylander sent to Rochester along with Falk. Maybe flip-flop Falk/Nelson in terms of who stays up.

As overdramatic as it may sound i think the first month will make or break our season. If we have to play catch up after it as our schedule gets tougher it will be hard to climb back into the picture.

I think the only way that happens is if they are well out of it. Otherwise I think they'd keep him as a PP specialist. but fwiw i wish he was gone yesterday.

As usual, I forgot about Moulson still being on the team. I amend my above roster moves. Grant, Nelson stay with Fasching, Falk and Nylander sent to Rochester. Guhle to WHL. No way Murray (who signed Moulson) has his $5 million man sent to Rochester or sitting in the press box. Moulson is plugged somewhere onto either the 3rd or 4th line.

Was going to bring this up but who are we kidding we'd probably keep him in the minors too.

Depending on injuries to Bogo and Kuli, it is possible Guhle gets his 9 games or so before he goes back.

Moulson and Franson couldn't get off this team fast enough. $8.3M for those two losers ugh.

I guess Toronto doesn't like Laich, on waivers.

Who is this guy????

I like the optimism. I think Risto gets done by Wednesday. Bills win in a low scoring boring game 13-10.

This would be a SOLID day if the above occurred.

What do you think they settle at? My guess is $5.5 for 4 years.

Risto's camp is looking at 6-6.5 and Sabres are looking 5-5.75. His agent will keep pushing because that's his job but Risto should not be paid 6 or more. Sabres would like to stay in the 5 range and 5 - 5.5 would be perfect.

So Ty Rattie may not have a roster spot in St. Louis.
